Mick LaSalle Looks Back on ‘One Day’
Turning out to be one of last year’s major critical disappointments, Lone Scherfig’s One Day was released in mid-August by Focus Features and then virtually never talked about again — which is a real shame, in my opinion, because as … Continue reading

Oscar Predictions: Post-NYFF Assessment
Having seen a handful of films at this year’s New York Film Festival — including, among others, Steve McQueen’s Shame, Alexander Payne’s The Descendants, and Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist — I feel that my perspective of this year’s race, in … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘One Day’ (2011)
Lone Scherfig’s One Day is a love story about two apparent opposites who, more or less, fall in love at first sight when they spend the night together after graduating from Edinburgh University on July 15, 1988. But while these … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘The Devil’s Double’ (2011)
Dominic Cooper — that spot-on supporting actor most people would recognize from An Education or, more recently, Captain America: The First Avenger — accomplishes something remarkable in Lee Tamahori’s The Devil’s Double. His task is essentially to play two physically … Continue reading
Trailer for Lone Scherfig’s ‘One Day’
Having just finished reading David Nicholls’ international bestseller One Day, I am anticipating director Lone Scherfig’s adaptation quite eagerly. Nicholls, whose novel is filled with rich dialogue and lasting characters, adapted the screenplay himself, and will rely on the performances … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘Never Let Me Go’ (2010)
Mark Romanek, directing his first feature since the tantalizing Robin Williams thriller One Hour Photo, has confronted the heavy task of adapting Kazuo Ishiguro’s devastatingly effective 2005 novel Never Let Me Go. Ishiguro is no stranger to the world of … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘The Greatest’ (2010)
In an odd way, Shana Feste’s The Greatest works in a lot of the same ways as Atom Egoyan’s Chloe. Needless to say, the two films offer very different plots, but both of their subject matters should be familiar to … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘The Ghost Writer’ (2010)
The Ghost Writer is Roman Polanski’s slick new political thriller, although it’s a bit too slick for its own good. It has a premise and feel to it that is rightfully intriguing and, to the film’s credit, it answers all … Continue reading
