Woman in Gold

This is a lovely and powerful film about stolen art restitution - wonderful performances by Mirren & Reynolds. 4/5

Days and Nights

I think had I not seen a spectacular version of "The Seagull" just last summer I might have felt a bit lost in this. I knew the story and I thought the adaptation was brilliantly handled. The acting was stellar throughout and I thought the carefully slow pacing was just right. My only problem was with the ending, as the filmmaker did not make clear to whom the final scenes occur. Since I know the story I have a good guess, but without more clarity there I feel the film lost a star. 4/5

The Giver

This is one in a line of similarly themed movies of late, but this might be the best version of this story I've seen. 4/5

The Romantics

By all rights I should have hated this but I surprisingly didn't - I found it a fascinating character study. BTW, this would be a perfect double-feature with Baumbach's "Margot at the Wedding" - both are quite good. 4/5

The Son of No One

Dito Montiel tries to recapture the rich flavor of his 1st film & only partially succeeds. Just... meh. 3/5
