Film Reviews
Baadshah
Action, romance, comedy, and thrills abound in this new Telugu film.
Chashme Baddoor
In this Bollywood comedy remake, three male friends and roommates fall in love with the same woman.
42
Jackie Robinson's story is told as a socially conscious moral tale about the malevolence of segregation.
Ginger & Rosa
The personal becomes political in Sally Potter's story about a girl who comes of age in England during the early Sixties.
The Place Beyond the Pines
A melodrama, multigenerational epic, heist film, and motorcycle-fetish movie are all rolled into one in this Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper headliner.
The Sapphires
Exuberant but fairly formulaic, this Australian film is a backstage story about an all-girl singing group from the outback in the Sixties.
Settai
This Tamil comedy of errors is a remake of the 2011 Hindi blockbuster Delhi Belly.
To the Wonder
Terrence Malick makes a swift return to our screens with this evocative story about the stages of love.
Trance
Danny Boyle's film swerves unevenly between moods and motivations, from heist film to psychosexual thriller, and dreamy logic to amped-up action.
