Movie Reviews
Dan Webster and Nathan Weinbender give short movie reviews.
-
“Dune: Part Two” looks great, but its technical virtues can’t elevate a script that suffocates us with self-importance, Dan Webster says in his review.
-
A new Coen brothers movie is always cause for celebration. But Nathan Weinbender says that “Drive-Away Dolls," a crime comedy directed by Ethan Coen without Joel, feels more like a meager tribute to their work than it does the real thing.
-
The Japanese-language film “Perfect Days” is a powerful meditation on the essence of life, Dan Webster says in his review.
-
If you’ve ever marveled at the artistry that went into a meal, then “The Taste of Things” may be the movie for you. It’s a French romantic drama, but Nathan Weinbender says it photographs food almost as longingly as the characters look at each other.

“The Taste of Things” blends a love of food with the food of love between a French chef and cook, Dan Webster says in his review.
-
Although it’s nominated for 5 Oscars—including Best Picture—Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” isn’t your average prestige movie. Nathan Weinbender says this portrait of the daily lives of a Nazi commandant and his family is an uncompromising and stylistically challenging vision of evil.
-
“The Teachers’ Lounge” portrays the struggles of a German middle-school teacher to handle a complex situation, Dan Webster says in his review.
-
“The Zone of Interest” puts the viewer in the heart of those living alongside a World War II death camp, Dan Webster says in his review.
-
Back in 1985, some of the most famous musicians in the world gathered to record the charity single “We Are the World.” Nearly 40 years later, a Netflix documentary looks at the creation of the song. Nathan Weinbender says the movie is basically an extended “Behind the Music” episode with some remarkable footage.
-
“Origin” is a look at the roots of cultural dysfunction that supersedes simple theories of racism, Dan Webster says in his review.
