Double Lover Review
François Ozon’s latest has a great film lurking in there somewhere. Why he chose instead to toss us an endless string of red herrings is the real mystery here.

This final entry marks the end of the embarrassingly bad “Fifty Shades” trilogy, thus freeing audiences from a sadomasochistic exercise in endurance viewing.
This third entry in the “Maze Runner” franchise is a solid conclusion for fans who are invested in the YA dystopian sci-fi series.
Even an unhinged Nicolas Cage couldn’t save this dumpster fire of a film.
A clash in Lebanon between a Christian man and a Palestinian refugee mushrooms from a full-blown debate into the bigger culture clash, with mixed results.
Martin Landau and Paul Sorvino have both had great moments on screen. This is not one of them.
Focusing on building a franchise around the titular British Special Forces commando, director Simon West forgot to make a stand-alone movie.
Biopic of famed jazz artist Django Reinhardt is okay, but the music makes it worth it.
This sharply heartfelt coming of age story is an audacious mix of comedy and drama without a single false moment.
As history lessons go, “LBJ” isn’t bad; but we’re still waiting for the film that will focus on President Johnson as more than just an accidental heir to the Kennedy legacy.
