Clueless (1995) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Silverstone's read of Cher -- not to mention her overflowing cup of cuteness -- makes the character likable.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 16, 2021 Full Review Sisters (2015) 60% EDIT “"Sisters" is that rare Hollywood comedy that's actually better than the promo trailers - which had anxious fans fearing the hilarious pair had lost their touch.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Trumbo (2015) 74% 3/4 EDIT “Cranston shows Trumbo's public and private sides - giving full measure to his eccentricities without devolving into caricature.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 19, 2015 Full Review Suffragette (2015) 73% 3/4 EDIT “Mulligan, in particular, delivers, bringing believability to a role that's quite a stretch, given the transformation her character has to go through from workaday mum to first-wave feminist superhero.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Room (2015) 93% 4/4 EDIT “What happens in this tiny space gives you more to think about than 10 blockbuster action films.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 29, 2015 Full Review The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “"The Diary of a Teenage Girl" is as rewarding as it is squirm-inducing for its honesty, audacity and artful portrayal of adolescence from a girl's point of view.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 20, 2015 Full Review American Ultra (2015) 44% 3/4 EDIT “The brightest star of this picture is screenwriter Max Landis, who pulls off a masterful mashup of action, comedy and romance, with bits of animation tossed in.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 20, 2015 Full Review Meru (2015) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “Whether or not mountain-climbing documentaries are your thing, "Meru" is likely to draw you in. It's as much about trust, personal goals and human bonding as battling the elements at their fiercest.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 13, 2015 Full Review Fantastic Four (2015) 9% 2/4 EDIT “The third big-budget attempt to tell the origin story of the Fantastic Four superhero saga on film hasn't turned out to be the charm.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 6, 2015 Full Review Magic Mike XXL (2015) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “By trying to appeal to young women, middle-aged moms, gay men and spring-break bros at the same time, the movie spreads itself too thin, filling time better spent on manly moves with too much talk and obvious demographic pandering.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jun 30, 2015 Full Review The Treatment (2014) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “Aside from a few annoying implausibilities, "The Treatment" is smart suspense at its darkest.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Accused (2014) 2.5/4 EDIT “Carried almost entirely by its star, Ariane Schluter.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Miss Tibet: Beauty in Exile (2014) 3/4 EDIT “The film doesn't delve deeply enough into the cultural contrasts to fully satisfy, but does offer telling glimpses of the identity struggles displaced Tibetans feel.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review The Keeping Room (2014) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Daniel Barber's beautifully shot and authentically set story is somewhat disjointed, but good acting and the women's bond nearly make up for that.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Iris (2014) 98% 3/4 EDIT “An interest in fashion is not required to enjoy and admire this truly original character.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Girlhood (2014) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “From the opening montage of Marieme and other girls playing American football in full uniform, "Girlhood" resonates as something special.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review The Jingle Dress (2014) 3/4 EDIT “"The Jingle Dress" deserves more attention and wider distribution.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 5, 2015 Full Review Black Sea (2014) 81% 3/4 EDIT “Too often, moviegoers must choose between character-driven drama and edge-of-your-seat action. "Black Sea" has both, with a gripping performance by Jude Law as their nexus.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 31, 2015 Full Review Mommy (2014) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “Heartbreaking, if you can get past all the yelling.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 29, 2015 Full Review Cake (2014) 49% 3/4 EDIT “Five words I never thought I'd string together: Jennifer Aniston made me cry.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 22, 2015 Full Review Song of the Sea (2014) 99% 3.5/4 EDIT “It's a refreshing respite from popular kids' fare, an extended bedtime story that has its share of harrowing moments but gradually wraps the soul in a warm blankie.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 22, 2015 Full Review Leviathan (2014) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “As harshly beautiful as the Barents Sea coastline where it is set, this parable inspired in part by the biblical tale of Job dumps more misfortune than one hapless man should ever have to endure.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 22, 2015 Full Review The Boy Next Door (2015) 12% 1.5/4 EDIT “"The Boy Next Door" is a string of situations in which the actors' Job One is keeping straight faces while uttering lines like, "A woman like you should be cherished."” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 22, 2015 Full Review The Gambler (2014) 43% 2.5/4 EDIT “A string of powerful performances, particularly Wahlberg's, and a killer soundtrack - including M83, Dinah Washington and St. Paul & the Broken Bones - redeem a middling entertainment gambit.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 24, 2014 Full Review Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) 48% 2.5/4 EDIT “Ben Stiller and crew go for the easy laughs, spackling the cracks in their armor with a cavalcade of marquee-name cameos and one dizzying action scene after another.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 18, 2014 Full Review
