2004 movie reviews
  1. The script plays out like a mystery that keeps you guessing, but it also works against the film at points. Perpetrator has something important to say but just doesn’t know how to say it.
  2. Layne's performance is a real strength, and she does a great job of not only anchoring us in her character's emotions, but embodying how she feels about singing in any given scene.
  3. The Sky Is Everywhere may be a visual treat, but it's soured by a complete lack of balance in the story structure, characterization, motivation, and pacing.
  4. Even with its flaws, it’s largely an entertaining film with plenty of humor and a story that truly must be seen to be believed.
  5. Too often, though, the creativity gets bogged down beneath the references and standard mystery. Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers still makes for an entertaining viewing experience, just as long as one doesn't mind the extra baggage.
  6. Fully Realized Humans offers an honest look at an expecting couple's anxieties about becoming parents, but its approach is simply not compelling.
  7. Swan Song is a respectable science-fiction drama. While it may feel overwrought and overly sentimental in parts, the film is immersive and engaging. Ali is magnetic and his natural onscreen charisma, paired with a terrific performance, make Swan Song an absolute must-see.
  8. It proves to be a fulfilling and heartwarming journey.
  9. Dumb Money is a crowd-pleasing story with great performances and a script that keeps it simple.
  10. The Archies is entertaining, educational and original.
  11. Buoyed by a strong, effective performance by Boyega, and even despite its pitfalls, Corbin’s film is a solid debut feature.
  12. Its approach is so diffuse that its uncertain and purposefully ambiguous ending is misguided at best.
  13. Diallo knows how to create a deeply disconcerting atmosphere.
  14. The Convert is by far one of Tamahori's best films in years.
  15. The film has two major things going for it: Goldstein and Poots' casting and their characters' chemistry. The only thing that fully captures our attention from beginning to end is Laura and Simons’ undeniable spark and charming banter.
  16. Despite a raw performance from Willem Dafoe, Tommaso feels more like a self-indulgent male fantasy than an introspective character study.
  17. All told, Thirteen Lives is a solid and compelling watch that stands as a testament to people's resilient spirits.
  18. It’s a lovely, heartfelt movie that is also gritty and deep and evocative, with outstanding performances that ground the story in every possible way.

    While the film has some full-blooded setpieces and creative visuals - plus one of the franchise's coolest posters - it's a thoroughly by-the-numbers effort. Lee is visibly disengaged with the sequel, the middle section drags on and most of the cast of characters aren't terribly interesting.

    I’ll Be Right There is worth watching for the acting and occasionally fantastic writing, but it ends on an inconclusive and unfulfilling note.
  19. We get two influential actors reuniting on the big screen in a film that is comparable to their acting gifts.
  20. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a rousing action-adventure in the ruins of the human world – traces of the past remain but this is Noa's story.
  21. Pixar's latest big screen adventure, Elio, is a big-hearted tale about friendship, family, and connection, and it will both delight and wreck you.
  22. Robinson's film is not without things to say, and the combination of a dialed-up Mendes and a dialed-in Hawke make receiving that message a fun, engrossing experience. It is, in other words, exactly what it set out to be, and with any luck, it'll be named alongside the titles it so admires on many a teen movie listicle to come.
  23. The actors inhabit these characters well, but they don't have the benefit of juxtaposition with normality to really put their work in context.
  24. 8-Bit Christmas has a lot of heart, but the comedy struggles to stand out in a marketplace full of similar, established, holiday feature classics. Regardless, it offers enough of a unique spin on the genre to satisfy audiences — especially millennials.
  25. Its focus may have needed some more fine-tuning, but Steve proves meaningful regardless.
  26. Everything in American Star hinges on McShane's intuitive performance that rejects the obvious and embraces ambiguity.
  27. Tonally inconsistent, writer-director J Blakeson takes a big swing and misses with regards to the film’s message. Rosamund Pike gives a fiery, powerhouse performance, but there is something completely missing from I Care a Lot that makes it a hard pill to swallow.
  28. Dog Man is trying to tackle too many themes and morals at once, creating a mess instead of a cohesive and accessible lesson.
