Featured reviews
(Jonathan Olley/Columbia Pictures)'Zero Dark Thirty' a brilliantly crafted drama
Like the most ambitious movies of 2012 — “Lincoln,” “Argo” — this one’s concerned with process rather than personalities. 
'The Impossible'
This is an earnest, extremely grueling, prodigiously crafted true-life drama that takes one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history and reduces it to a bad day at Club Med.
'Bestiaire'
This documentary about an animal park in Quebec views the animals, their holding facilities, their human caretakers, and the paying visitors with a watchfulness that’s always exquisitely framed even as a cruelty accompanies that beauty.
'Hitler's Children'
Although Adolf Hitler had no children, many senior Nazis did. How do those offspring and other relatives of such war criminals as Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler view their ancestral guilt?
'Django Unchained'
In order for "Django" to work emotionally you have to believe in Django and Broomhilda beyond Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington’s sexiness.
'Promised Land'
There are two separate movies going on in “Promised Land.” One is written by costars Matt Damon and John Krasinski; the latter from the observant directorial eye of Gus Van Sant. 
'Not Fade Away'
This is David Chase’s fictionalized memoir of growing up a rebellious, rock-loving teenager in suburban New Jersey, and it’s both achingly affectionate and a terrible mess.
'Les Miserables'
This is a sung-through musical, and by the time the student revolt occupies the drama, you always get the sinking feeling that the show is just spinning its wheels until the next great number.
'Parental Guidance'
The people responsible for this film have done an honorable enough job, chiefly through casting.Latest news
