It’s a good thing, then, that Focus Features’ The American, a meticulously crafted, retro-styled exercise in vigilance and meditation, subsists on those who […]

Weekend Movie Review: ‘Salt’ and ‘The Kids Are All Right’

It’s a question we ponder often during the film, and one whose answer is well explored, unexpected, and not so simple, really.
