Kill the Messenger Review
An important story about truth and persistence and our ability to trust the integrity of our political and legal systems.

This "Untold" origin story is better left that way. It just sucks time.
Director David Fincher’s latest fails to match up to his best work. It’s more soap opera/movie-of-th- week than fully realized filmmaking.
This complicated story filled with history, literary tropes, and a message about refugee crises is a surprisingly schmaltz-free consciousness raiser.
In 1984, a group of young gays forms an alliance with a most unusual partner. The result is almost breathtaking in its jovial unlikeliness.
Ari Folman’s follow-up to his ground-breaking "Waltz With Bashir" has even higher ambitions this time around but falls short in the execution.
A documentary that chronicles possibly the best forger of art of our time. What makes it special is that he is impossible not to love.
A dysfunctional family takes pleasure in sadistic fun at the expense of those closest to them. It is intermittently funny, but the drama is contrived and clumsy.
Ned Benson’s view of a couple going through troubled times comes in three versions: Him, Her, and Them. I saw Them. Maybe Him and/or Her is/are better.
This biography of George Takei works, despite any real tension. It’s a testimonial to the warmth of Mr. Takei and, surprisingly, that’s enough.
