Finding Vivian Maier Review
A small purchase at an auction turns into the emergence of a newly-famous photographer. Great story. Great photos. Good film.

Clint Eastwood’s examination of America’s most famous sniper is great when it’s showing war, and okay when it isn’t.
Russia’s entry to the Academy for Best Foreign Film has made it to the final five, but the borscht ring is probably out of reach.
No one wants to see a movie about people sitting at computer terminals. Unless it’s "WarGames". This isn’t "WarGames".
Angelina Jolie’s attempt at portraying the amazing life of Louis Zamperini is good, but falls short of the book.
The march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, was a momentous moment in American history. Ava DuVernay’s “Selma” more than does it justice.
A famous British painter’s life is immortalized and it features an outstanding performance by Timothy Spall, but that’s not enough to elevate this film to the next level.
The first film adaptation of a Thomas Pynchon novel stays true to the spirit of the source material which proves to be both a virtue and a vice.
Rarely has a final battle been so anticlimactic (or padding been so apparent).
Ridley Scott’s new take on the Old Testament never justifies the miracle of its own existence.
