Escape the heat

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/c/13_companyyoukeep.htm> The Company
You Keep
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - Overstuffed with too many superfluous supporting characters
and story tangents, the film attempts to fool the viewer into thinking the
plot is more complicated than it is. By the overly convenient topper, one is
less likely to be satiated than to feel disappointment. Is that really all
there is?

★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Falls back too frequently upon manipulation and speech-giving
to get its obvious points across. Though dramatically sound in spurts, the
film as a whole, written and directed by Brian Helgeland, lacks the feel and
visual panache of a theatrical release and would have been more fitting
premiering on cable.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/t/13_tothewonder.htm> To the Wonder
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities & VOD - The movie forgets what it's trying to say and instead
very nearly turns into a spoof of a Terrence Malick film. There is only so
much twirling in wheat fields a person can handle before it starts to come
off as a mockery of itself. There are no two ways about it: "To the Wonder"
is a mess, but at least it's an interesting mess.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/t/13_trance.htm> Trance
★★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - At once ethereal and daunting, a tantalizing puzzler seamlessly
weaving layers of subconscious memory and literal hypnotic fantasy with that
of bitter truths folding in on themselves, the film traverses so many genres
and emotional territory in the span of only 101 minutes that it's difficult
to bring justice to just how enormously special and rare and one-of-a-kind
it is.
