Man, Woman, and Another Mannew
I once worked with a man who came out as gay after 20 years of marriage and two children. Accepting his true self, and then revealing it to the rest of the world, was a struggle for him; he was raised at a time when homosexual men and women were made to believe that their very existence was a slap in the face to the natural order. Many stayed in the closet, conformed as best they could, and the result was a lot of unhappy marriages. One such marriage lies at the center of the Taiwanese film “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.”

Agit-Flop: Pablo Larrain’s Pinochet Trilogy Loses Substance
Gael Garcia Bernal’s television adman-turned-political-commercial-creator Rene Saavedra is such an ethically ambiguous and passive protagonist that “No” falls flat as a piece of wannabe agitprop cinema.

Moonshine Rebels: Public Enemy Era Splashes with Booze and Blood
Inflected with the same gritty appreciation for brutal violence that director John Hillcoat applied to his Australian-set period Western “The Proposition,” “Lawless” is a Depression era bootleg gangster fantasy baked in booze, blood, and grime.

There are no heroes in The Dark Knight Risesnew
The Dark Knight Rises may be the darkest, the grimmest, the most depressing summer popcorn movie ever. It is not summery. It is not popcorny. There is no adventure here. There is no escapism. There is only grinding reality to be endured in the harsh mirror it holds up to the audience.
