Film Review: 'American Dreams in China'
This attractively packaged, moderately enjoyable account of China's rags-to-riches history lacks a contempo pulse.
Reviews
Cannes Film Review: 'Bends'
Flora Lau's debut is beautifully assembled by a top-pedigree production crew, but it remains a modest accomplishment in scope and impact.
Cannes Film Review: 'A Story of Children and Film'
An idiosyncratically personal yet captivating 100-minute companion piece to 'The Story of Film,' focused entirely on the depiction of kids onscreen.
Cannes Film Review: 'Inside Llewyn Davis'
The Coens have again taken a real time and place and freely made it their own in this boldly original, highly emotional journey.
Cannes Film Review: 'Le Demantelement'
A film whose measured pace and minimal conflict seem better suited to pastoral living than arthouse viewing.
Cannes Film Review: 'Bite the Dust'
Audiences are likely to feel impatient with this leaden Russian black comedy.
Cannes Film Review: 'Like Father, Like Son'
Hirokazu Kore-eda's reverberant drama is a characteristically low-key treatment of familial bonds, expectations and responsibilities.
Cannes Film Review: 'Blue Ruin'
A lean and suspenseful genre piece that follows a bloody trail of vengeance to its cruel, absurd and logical conclusion.
Cannes Film Review: 'For Those in Peril'
A visually arresting poetic reverie that should strike a chord with adventurous audiences who don't mind mood over matter.
Cannes Film Review: 'Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian)'
This demanding but highly absorbing two-hander showcases Benicio Del Toro and Mathieu Amalric at the top of their craft.
