Gripping Iranian drama delves into family, class, and moral divides

Review: Carnage

"Four solid performances -- Jodie Foster & John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet & Christoph Waltz -- keep Yasmina Reza’s satirical drama above the level of highbrow sitcom … but only just. The bombastically overstated title never delivers on its promise of emotional violence; the characters in ‘Carnage’ are ultimately too shallow to generate any great revelations or catastrophes."

Polanski’s lean stage play adaptation never matches the grisly promise of its title

Review: Hugo

"Rare is the movie where all the creative departments -- DP Robert Richardson, Dante Ferretti in production design, Sandy Powell doing costumes -- work together so seamlessly … like clockwork. Every shot is its own little masterwork. Richardson does a particularly admirable job in re-creating the distinctive, deep “Ballhaus blue” hue that so memorably marked Gangs of New York. Howard Shore’s French folk music-inspired score, most tenderly expressed in a melancholy waltz, adorns the movie’s emotional center without being overly demonstrative."
