Movie Reviews

Lost scenes from the classic 1927 silent film “Metropolis” were shown for the first time in decades, The Associated Press reported.

“Gonzo” is a fascinating history lesson and a bit of a cautionary tale about how fame can turn into the scourge of talent.

“Kabluey” is a bittersweet indie comedy whose hapless protagonist spends a good part of the movie waddling along the side of a highway in a blue foam-rubber suit.

“Diminished Capacity” touches earnestly on heart-heavy issues of loss: loss of memory, of love and, perhaps because of the local angle, of (or rather by) the Chicago Cubs.

“Holding Trevor,” a portrait of 20-something gay men and their straight friends, is a joyless exploration of middle-class deadbeats.

Notwithstanding the coyly suggestive title, “Very Young Girls” is very far from exploitative.

“We Are Together” is another feel-good documentary about a feel-bad topic: the bright-eyed, golden-voiced children of Agape, an orphanage in South Africa.

“The Wackness” makes a good-faith effort to steer clear of coming-of-age story clichés, and succeeds and fails in roughly equal measure.

Guillaume Canet’s delicious contemporary thriller “Tell No One” is “Vertigo” meets “The Fugitive” by way of “The Big Sleep.” That is meant as high praise.
