Present-day parable of Paradise Found and Paradise Lost: more precisely, a legendary island Shangri-La somewhere near Thailand (from the air it looks like Never-Never Land in Disney's Peter Pan, meaning, among other things, that it looks painted instead of photographed), home to a Hippie Commune cum Club Med, as well …
Looks like Harmony Korine directed a dirty update of "Gidget."
Americanized, and accordingly broadened and coarsened, version of Agnes Varda's One Sings, the Other Doesn't: an improbable friendship founded on one meeting in girlhood and carried on for three decades, and across a huge cultural gap, primarily through letters and in total oblivion of those "Reach-out-and-touch-someone" telephone ads. As a …
French documentary for a highly select audience, film aficionados with an affection for the one-time New Waver, Agnes Varda, now a gnomish octogenarian: "I'm playing the role of a little old lady, pleasantly plump and talkative." She travels the entire length of Memory Lane (a block or two of which …
In the spirit of 1950s sci-fi comes Jeffrey A. Brown’s gripping debut feature. Recent college dropout Randall (Noah Le Gros) is content at the thought of spending an eternity bumming around his father’s spacious waterfront property.

A feature-length blowup of a TV sketch character well known to fanciers of British imports on PBS. To nonfanciers just now meeting him, Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) might be remindful at times, in his childlikeness and mischievousness and even in his exact facial expressions when peering over or around his …
Wilderness adventure about the bond between an orphaned cub and a male Kodiak stalked by two hunters. The wild card in this hand is the peephole into the little cub's dream world: nothing succeeds in humanizing the animal (or animalizing the filmmakers) as much as the couple of glimpses into …
Lots of action, of various types, on a barren island in the Barents Sea (no bears, even, on this Bear Island), used during World War II as a U-boat base and now the center of some mysterious neo-Nazi activity. Not as clever at concealing the villains' identities as some of …
"Hey kids! Welcome to Disneynature! It's a lot like regular nature, except we've added slo-mo, and also some anthropomorphic aspects to keep you ADHD tykes interested. 'Anthropomorphic' is derived from the Greek 'anthropos' — man — and 'morpho' — form. It means that we change the form of things so …
Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba), guilt-stricken over his handling of his wife’s passing, escorts his two teenage daughters, the rebellious Meredith (Iyana Halley) and her younger, within an inch of rebelling sister Norah (Leah Jeffries), on an African safari in their mother’s village. Rather than mending fences, the trio and …
Incomer Michael Pearce’s crude-around-the-edges approach to writing and editing is a perfect fit for this tale of a disturbed young woman (Jessie Buckley) who is slowly being sucked under by the toxic quicksand of her relationship with Mom.
