A Most Violent Year
Kiko Martinez
“Atmospheric, intense, and minimal in its delivery, it’s a gripping achievement.”
“Atmospheric, intense, and minimal in its delivery, it’s a gripping achievement.”
“Solid entertainment…but the found footage offers absolutely nothing to the story.”
“Follows a series of tropes while, interestingly enough, becoming too twisty for its own good.”
“It’s not a pretty sight…offensively unoriginal and written with zero imagination or character depth.”
“A redemption story is only worthwhile when you can actually invest in a character.”
“Feels strangely abandoned, as if the studio didn’t bother to add any sort of polish to the final product.”
“At the very least, a return to form for Clint Eastwood, a director in the twilight of his career.”
“It’s easy to root for the protagonists, which makes the glaring plot holes less bothersome.”
“Any discussion of the film starts and ends with David Oyelowo’s electric portrayal of Dr. King.”
“An off-tempo mess. It’s highly inspired, but author Pynchon is in Anderson’s head and it shows.”
“Comprised of enough jokes about assholes to make your grandma blush this holiday season.”
“It’s hard to come up with a reason to visit this mishmash of classic fairytale characters.”
