The Theory of Everything *
A retelling of
the relationship between famous physicist Stephen Hawking and his wife.
Flat and dull biopic with only the occasional
insightful observation seeping through its tameness. It’s ironic that a film about
a man who was so revolutionary can be so stodgy.

What If **
A young British
man living in Toronto, trying to get over the collapse of his last
relationship, becomes infatuated with an animator who is involved with someone
else.
Borrowing its themes from When Harry Met Sally, this
is a funny, wry romantic comedy of the kind that is almost extinct.

Men, Women & Children
A group of High
School Students and their parents attempt to grapple with how the Internet has
affected their lives.
Vapid and banal from the first frame: To say that every
aspect of its director’s argument is childish would be an insult to children
everywhere.
