L'amour fou (2010) Jean Lowerison You'd think a biopic with this title would have some passion, craziness or at least spark. But L'Amour Fou is surprisingly tepid about everything, to the point of being a little boring.

Richard Jewell (2019) Jean Lowerison Richard Jewell should be seen by all writers and wannabe writers as a reminder that the public trust is a gift that can be taken back at any time.

Yesterday (2019) Jean Lowerison Patel's Jack is both an engaging character and a good musician and that the film is an amusing way to spend a summer evening.

5B (2018) Jean Lowerison The filmmakers build suspense with colorful footage of the city in the 1970s, when being gay was (newly) not only publicly possible and permissible but even celebrated.

The Raft (2018) Jean Lowerison A strange but fascinating film.

Trial by Fire (2018) Jean Lowerison Despite its clumsy first-act emphasis on exposition and excessive length, the story is important and Dern deserves a nomination for almost single-handedly saving the film with her committed and engaging performance.

The White Crow (2018) Jean Lowerison This is no knock on Ivenko, a fine young dancer, but watching him dance will never give filmgoers an understanding of what made Nureyev so very special. Only Nureyev could dance like that.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) Jean Lowerison Don't miss this astonishing story.

The Old Man & the Gun (2018) Jean Lowerison You couldn't get a better actor than Robert Redford to portray the based-on-fact thief Forrest Tucker in David Lowery's The Old Man & the Gun.

McQueen (2018) Jean Lowerison You don't have to care about fashion to enjoy this film.

Untouchable (2016) Jean Lowerison Untouchable is a difficult film, but one every citizen should see and discuss with friends and neighbors.

Creedmoria (2016) Jean Lowerison It's a simple premise, amusingly written and well acted all around. No superheroes here, just a teen who wants to escape the craziness in her life.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) Jean Lowerison This isn't a great film, but it's a delight to watch, and how many films can you say that about?
Posted Mar 15, 2017  Edit critic review
We Were Here (2011) Jean Lowerison Though the topic is sad, We Were Here is a tribute to the heroism of those who stepped up to help, and to the resilience of the gay community itself.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) Jean Lowerison You can tell me all day that this is great, Avatar-like use of animation. I'll even grant the point. But though I was engaged in the first half of the film, this action section left me looking at my watch.

Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011) Jean Lowerison This may not be Spurlock's best or most riveting effort, but he seems incapable of making a boring film.

Nuremberg (1948) Jean Lowerison Horrifying but required viewing.
Posted Mar 15, 2017  Edit critic review
Deep Sea (2006) Jean Lowerison Deep Sea allows us landlubbers a glimpse of a world few humans ever see. If you're as fascinated by undersea life as I am, Deep Sea is the show for you.

Honeyglue (2015) Jean Lowerison You have to be willing to accept a lot of nonsense if you're going to make it through Honeyglue, beginning with the title.

Genius (2016) Jean Lowerison If you're looking for a spectacular visual experience, this isn't it. But if you're interested in writers and editors, this film is for you.
