THE PROMISE ★½☆☆☆
D: Terry George (Reservation Road, Hotel Rwanda).
S: Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, Christian Bale.
Almost PEARL HARBOR bad. Why are Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale in this?! THE CUT and ARARAT this ain't.
SING ★★☆☆☆
D: Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy).
S: Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton.
Sentimental, vacuous, glorified karaoke animated movie, though with lots of energy.
JACKIE ★★★★☆
D: Pablo Larraín (The Club, No, Post Mortem, Tony Manero).
S: Natalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, John Hurt.
Paul Greegrass meets Terrence Malick. The aftermath of JFK's assassination is leagues ahead of PARKLAND.
NORMAN: THE MODERATE RISE AND TRAGIC FALL OF A NEW YORK FIXER ★★★★½
D: Joseph Cedar (Footnote).
S: Richard Gere, Steve Buscemi, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Michael Sheen.
Richard Gere shines as an enigmatic, deeply flawed business man. Intimate and on geopolitical levels, the density impresses.
