Let 'Brothers' Take Time to Bloomnew
There's a particular satisfaction in the way the pieces of The Brothers Bloom shift and circle around each other, the story woven by one character reflecting the story given to us by writer-direction Rian Johnson.

'The Brothers Bloom' Is a Con Job to Enjoynew
Rian Johnson's sophomore effort is an imperfect film, but his retro sensibility is a balm for those born in the wrong era.

'The Brothers Bloom' Is a See-Through Connew
Even though you see through director Rian Johnson's schemes, The Brothers Bloom's ingratiating cast and sunny tone make the film a harmless diversion.

Bros, Butts, and More at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festivalnew
As I write this, a little over halfway though this year's visit, I haven't yet had a defining Toronto fest moment. Sure, there was the moment I became aware of just how jaded I am -- when I passed by a mob of gawkers and flashbulbs and realized I didn't give a rat's ass about which celebrity had incited such a tizzy. But so far, I haven't seen a film that truly dazzled me.
