Worst. Siblings. Ever.

It’s rough going, but see 'Sister'

David Riedel
There’s a kid (Simon, played well by Kacey Mottet Klein) who’s been dealt a shitty hand; he exploits people around him by stealing—and not too smartly—at a ski resort. The adults aren’t much better than he is.

Hi Honey, Bye Honey!

You'll wish 'Hello I Must Be Going' stayed [ok]

David Riedel
Occasionally a movie gets to the guts of human emotion honestly. Hello I Must Be Going is one of those movies.

The Old Woman Down the Road

'Found Memories' is thoughtful and rewarding [ok]

David Riedel
Each morning, Madalena (Sonia Guedes) wakes before dawn to make bread in the dark. A single kerosene lamp lights her kitchen. She then trudges outside, slowly following a set of unused train tracks to Jotuomba, a fictional Brazilian village that seems to exist outside of time.

Portrait of the Artist as Enigma

What’s going on in Bel Borba Aqui? [meh]

David Riedel
When all the movie awards start popping up later this year, perhaps someone will recommend a new category: The film most like Seinfeld, the show that was about nothing. Bel Borba Aqui would certainly be among the nominees.

To the Battlements

How to Survive a Plague chronicles AIDS activism in the ’80s and ’90s [ok]

David Riedel
How one survives a plague (according to How to Survive a Plague) is to go on the offensive, relentlessly, until you get what you want (or really, deserve).

'Liberal Arts' is light and fun [OK]

David Riedel

Wanted: Unknown Singer-Songwriter

'Searching for Sugar Man' is quietly inviting [Yay!]

David Riedel
It sounds like the idea for a bad movie: Talented musician no one cares about disappears. A small group of overseas fans, knowing nothing of his life, endeavors to find him.

A Boy and His [Dead] Dog

'Frankenweenie' works despite weak spots [ok]

David Riedel
The great thing about animals—and this is corny and unoriginal—is their unconditional love. A scratch behind the ear, steady food and trips to the park go a long way for a dog, just as a comfy sofa arm goes a long way for a cat.

You Get a Zero

'Won't Back Down' backed down from decent screenwriting [barf]

David Riedel
Won’t Back Down takes a very serious subject—public education and failing schools—and makes it seem as if changing a school’s curriculum and faculty is pretty easy if—gosh golly!—you want it enough.
