Patricia Clarkson Shows What a Great Actor She Is in ‘Lilly,’ a Whistleblower Drama for Our Time

4 days ago | variety.com | Owen Gleiberman

Patricia Clarkson is an actor who always hits the true note, but it’s been quite a while since she nabbed a movie role as full-scale and invigorating as the one she has in “Lilly.” The movie, which opened yesterday, is a whistleblower drama, based on the life of Lilly Ledbetter, who was the image of a homespun citizen — an Alabama wife and mother working as a supervisor at the local Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company plant — when she became an activist almost in spite of herself.

Netflix’s Ted Sarandos Says He Loves Movies. Do You Believe Him?

1 week ago | variety.com | Owen Gleiberman

It’s been a long time coming. Like Jack Nicholson’s Col. Nathan R. Jessup in “A Few Good Men,” finally admitting that he ordered the Code Red (“You’re goddamn right I did!”), Ted Sarandos, the visionary co-CEO of Netflix, recently outed himself as someone who believes that the experience of going to see a movie in a movie theater is an antiquated idea.
‘Henry Johnson’ Review: David Mamet Stays in His Rabbit Hole of Cryptic Power Games, but Shia LaBeouf Makes a Striking Convict

1 week ago | variety.com | Owen Gleiberman

David Mamet has been a celebrated playwright for half a century, and there are so many themes and obsessions and modes and rhythms and tics running through his work that it’s easy to survey it all and simply categorize it as “Mametesque.” The continuity is there. Yet when I look at the chronology of Mamet’s career, I’m struck by a huge and overwhelming schism — one that’s tonal, philosophical, stylistic and defining of his identity.
‘Rust’ Review: Alec Baldwin Plays a Cold Outlaw with a Heart of Gold in a Watchable Buddy-Movie Western That Lopes Along More Than It Takes Wing

“Rust,” as the whole world knows, is a movie that was the seat of a horrific on-set tragedy. During the shooting of a scene at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Alec Baldwin, who is the film’s star and one of its producers, discharged a gun that was being used as a prop and that somehow contained live rounds.

‘Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie’ Review: The Fabled Stoner Comedy Duo Get Their Own Documentary, and It’s Good Enough to Give You a Contact High

2 weeks ago | variety.com | Owen Gleiberman

The title of “Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie” makes it sound like another of the duo’s agreeably shambolic made-up-on-the-spot-but-who-could-tell-if-it-wasn’t? buddy-comedy rambles. And given their age (Tommy Chong is about to turn 87; Cheech Marin is a relative spring chicken of 78), you could be forgiven for presuming that they wanted to have one last go at the kind of stoner comedy they invented, a form now as mainstream as the cannabis outlet down the block.

‘Until Dawn’ Review: The Interactive Survival Horror Video Game Becomes a Grab Bag of a Slasher Movie in Which Nothing’s at Stake

2 weeks ago | variety.com | Owen Gleiberman

As indicated by the recent announcement that there’s going to be a “John Wick 5,” death in the movies simply isn’t what it used to be. There’s no longer anything final about it; increasingly, it’s not anything at all. At the end of “John Wick 4,” John Wick didn’t just get killed — he seemed really dead, as in let’s-put-a-fork-in-the-franchise dead. But, of course, the moment you had that thought, and the word “franchise” entered your brain, you just knew it couldn’t be.
