Don’t even try to get your bearings in this look back at the legendary tour Bob Dylan led across America in 1975. Scorsese, whose dazzling documentaries have looked at creativity in a pretty linear way, goes full Dylan here. As much as the iconic musician loves to play with expected norms, Scorsese not only allows that, but plays along, making us want to go ‘wow’ and ‘huh?’ at the same time.
What a dismal piece of business this is! While Simon Kinberg’s chapter of the X-Men saga taps a lot of the familiar notes, this barely memorable slog feels obligatory, a weak step toward the new and hopefully more exciting future.
Now this is my idea of a rock star biography. Flamboyant and fun, featuring dramatically aligned hit musical numbers, this toe-tapper never forgets the complicated soul of its you-thought-you-knew-him subject.
Olivia Wilde’s coming of ager is full of heart, lol laughs and, not so coincidentally, smarts.
Nicola Yoon’s acclaimed best seller hits the screen as a savvy and potent modern day romance.
Not as captivating as it should be, this look at Rudolf Nureyev’s defection still tells an interesting story.
This thinly layered plot twister is kept very much alive by its snappy pacing and two terrific leading actresses.
This thoroughly modern romantic comedy delivers as many laughs as it does sly shots at today’s world. In other words, this is a sweet and goofy rom com for people looking for a little bit more than that.
Trevor Nunn’s initially standard tale of spies and secrets still draws us in, surprisingly compelled by the story, inspired by a real life incident, of a British woman who collaborated with the Russians during World War II.
