    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

    ★★

    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a densely plotted second chapter that expands on the series’ mythology without deepening it, mostly due to the absence of a core theme onto which the film could’ve anchored its loosely tethered strands of plot.

  • The Grinch

    The Grinch

    ★★★★

    Change comes too easily for the Grinch, whose defense mechanisms seem to unwind at the convenience of the plot, but this family film also has an abundance of heart, and sometimes, that’s enough.

    The Midnight Sky

    ½

    A sloppy, slushy mess of a film, The Midnight Sky pours all of its creative energy into the creation of mood and atmosphere, leaving little room for anything resembling a story.

  • Prisoners

    Prisoners

    ★★★½

    Prisoners’ slow-burning, blood-boiling tension is undone by a reductive third act that fails to fully grapple with the moral consequences of its characters’ mistakes, but the message lingers anyway: no salvation awaits the sinner, even if he himself has been sinned.
