DHEEPAN ★★★★★
Audiard as usual goes for the unobvious. TAXI DRIVER climax will divide. His ability to apply crime genre to variety of stories impresses.
TRUTH ★★★☆☆
The death of modern current affairs reporting needed more skilled filmmaking. Sentimentality derails a compelling story.
OFFICE ★★★½☆
Johnnie To directs an almost MARGIN CALL-esque musical, but subsumes commentary beneath poisoned love. TRON-like design.
YOUTH ★★★☆☆
Gets a pass for sheer beauty, but constantly grabs at profundity and misses. Sorrentino's grasp of composition astounds.
GREEN ROOM ★★★½☆
Three satisfying movies in a row from director Saulnier. Comedy to revenge to siege flick, demonstrates cinema confidence.
