...Miss March” is a shitshow—literally. You know a movie is desperate when volatile explosions of feces constitute the film??s only real thread of comedy. In a world where boys will be boys and girls will be their playthings, “Miss March” slinks into a well-established lineup of testosterone-fueled “comedies” undercut by a dearth of real humor. The film lacks its own voice, and its characters are in an incessant struggle to find a wit that is uniquely theirs. Zach Cregger...
...brooding scenes and stunningly detailed panoramas—from Blake’s lonely, rainy funeral to Veidt’s ancient Egyptian-style retreat in Antarctica. This attention to detail, however, inevitably makes the movie feel slow at times. The viewer must embrace it and soak in the film??s visual extravagance, or reject it and battle moments of boredom, which at 163 minutes the movie cannot avoid.The film??s saving quality is that when it seems to be losing momentum, Snyder injects humor to restore the tempo.

Garrone has presented a documentary as a visceral and brutally realistic drama, chronicling the life and times of Southern Italy’s infamous underworld. Fittingly, the film??s origins are not without controversy: Roberto Saviano, the author of the original novel “Gomorra,” had a contract put on his head by the Camorra and currently lives under the Italian government’s police protection.Garrone takes us inside five fictionalized stories...
Soft-core porn has rarely been as wonderfully unsexy as in Filipino director Brillante Mendoza’s thoroughly engaging drama “Serbis.” Rather than exposing the unseen underworld of the sex-for-sale industry, the film??shot in Tagalog with English subtitles—explores the complex moral conflicts that all-too-guilty pleasures cause in a country like the Philippines, itself conflicted by the secular influences left by decades as a Western territory on its actively religious tradition. Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2008 Cannes Film...
