Review: ‘The Lost City’ almost strikes gold at SXSW

it’s not hard to imagine a version of "The Lost City" story that’s a raunchier, more subversive R-rated comedy instead of a generically palatable PG-13 rated one. Still, given those parameters, it’s a wonder that the film emerges as the relatively enjoyable romp it is — compromises and all. Here's film critic Caroline Siede's review.

Review: Mark Rylance is well-suited to the gangland tension of 'The Outfit'

In an entertainment industry that rewards big, showy performances, it’s nice to remember that actors like Mark Rylance still exist. The unassuming, soft-spoken performer is often most compelling when he weaponizes that apparent gentility, making it a tool his characters use to mask their motives and capabilities. And it’s that kind of subterfuge that debut director Graham Moore leverages to chilling effect in his claustrophobic Chicago thriller “The Outfit.” Here's film critic Clint Worthington's review.

Streaming spotlight: ‘Outlander’ returns (at last!) with a gripping premiere

“Outlander,” the hit Starz series adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling, genre-bending novels, returned to television on Sunday, Mar. 6 with a super-sized premiere. Clocking in at 80 minutes, it might feel just a wee bit long to even the most dedicated fans.

'After Yang' review: Colin Farrell grapples with the loss of his android son

"Tone poem" and "memory play" are two of the most overused terms when it comes to indie arthouse films, yet it’s hard to think of better descriptors for writer/director Kogonada’s elegiac sci-fi family drama "After Yang." After an exuberant burst of an opening credits dance sequence, the movie quickly becomes a wistful meditation on what it means to be human, what it means to be an android and what it means to be a family. Here's film critic Caroline Siede's review.
