A Place at the Table |
"
Directors Jacobson & Silverbush open with achingly beautiful shots of agrarian America -- and then hit us with horrific statistics, obesity joined at the diseased hip with malnutrition and starvation.

"
One alluring thing about Zombie is that it's hard to know how much of all this is a put-on. I spent a lot of time squinting at it, which is more fun than being bored.

Lacks wit, genuine laughs, or any real sense of wonder, just a couple of misfiring comics in fright-wigs going through the motions.

Maniac |

So needlessly graphic and explicitly violent from the outset that it ends up catering to the desires of a voyeuristic audience much more effectively than critiquing them.

Within its self-imposed limits as a remake, this is perfectly satisfactory, but the jury is still out on whether Alvarez can deliver on the promise of his shorts with more original work.

In spite of the film's exhaustive chronology, those who deduce from its title that they're in for an unveiling, or an unraveling, of a major literary figure may come out empty-handed.
