Goodbye Solo
This small marvel of a film by American portraitist Ramin Bahrani is a large-hearted examination of human curiosity and kindness and the limits of both.
Shall We Kiss?
Quintessentially French in its preoccupation with the vagaries of l’amour, Shall We Kiss? is painfully dunderheaded about the proclivities of the human heart.
Star Trek
Star Trek is an immensely satisfying origin story that introduces the characters we know – before we knew them.
Sugar
Sugar, by the makers of Half Nelson, follows a major league hopeful's path from a baseball academy in the Dominican Republic to stateside spring training and single-A ball in rural Iowa.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wolverine is a noisy mess, full of Hugh Jackman's seriously killer snarl but utterly devoid of the borderline-subversive smarts that made Bryan Singer's X-Men films so resonant.
