Movie reviews of Hope Madden

Offers a peculiar, sloppy bit of macabre that manages to be more memorable than it is enjoyable. Review

No problem appears to be especially troubling, no solution feels earned, no relationship looks authentic. Review

Muschietti’s approach to plumbing your fear has more depth than that and he manages your rising terror expertly. Review

Dips into horror territory, not necessarily a bad thing, but the film can’t make its shifting approach feel anything but jarring... Review

Offers a pantload of intriguing character work and suggests the vision of a worthy director. The script just needed another draft. Review

Both exhilarating and exhausting. Review

The film won’t satisfy your blood lust, your peaceful dreams or your hope for a decent movie. But damn, its timing is eerie. Review

A fine, if flawed, police procedural. Review

Endlessly fascinating, adorably dangerous and fun. Existential dread has never been so charming. Review

A disposable action comedy... Review

Still manages to tell its own peculiar and poignant story. Review

Walls’s remarkably balanced portrait of wanderlust, addiction and damage is utterly lost. Review

Sandberg offers little in the way of originality. But there are jumps aplenty and a couple of very freaky images in the third act. Review

Several of the action sequences are interesting and flashy... Review

Nikolaj Arcel manages to take this Cliff’s Notes version of King’s prose and still produce something bloated and slow. Review

For all its insightful moments and clever lines, feels a bit unwieldy and murky. Review

Unplug, soak up that Berlin vibe and appreciate the action and you’ll do fine. Review

Becomes too predictable and too sentimental once it embraces this cliché, but that’s not reason enough to condemn it. Review

Go in looking for an overly long, addle-brained extra-terrestrial romp that looks great and you’ll be fine. Review

A spare, quick and simple film that is equally epic. Review

He uses these to articulate, in clever and sometimes wryly funny fashion, the history unfolding. Review

Not a single plot point will surprise, and the film is too damn long. Review

A satisfying power struggle and the provocative use of ambiguities that refuse to offer a tidy ending help the film hang around after credits role. Review

Not just an excellent picture of an artist Poland wanted us to forget... Review
