Darkly perverse family traps their children and us
‘In a month, your mother will be giving birth to two children and one dog,’’ drones the father to his children in “Dogtooth.’’ They return his announcement with a kind of neutered joy. This is mildly amusing, scarcely accurate news, sandwiched among scenes of incest, miseducation, and inhumanity that would shatter the SPCA’s heart. The cat looked innocent to me, ...
Great Directors
Rarely have clips from so many good and great movies been put to such dull use. But “Great Directors’’ has no idea what to do with those images or the filmmakers who created them. In ponderous slow motion, sometimes in pretentious black-and-white, first-time writer-director Angela Ismailos makes her way around the world. Her goal is to interview her favorite directors, ...
Countdown to Zero
Tired of action heroes saving the world, robbing you of the atomic annihilation sequence you’d been secretly dying to see? “Countdown to Zero,’’ an earnest, alarmist new docu-plea for nuclear disarmament, concludes with an orgy of such destruction. Mushroom clouds. Infernal white light. Obliterating energy blasts. It’s all here, and mostly beyond the pale.
Charlie St. Cloud
Zac Efron is 22, but he already has that onset George Hamilton glow. Which is perfect for “Charlie St. Cloud,’’ a movie about a young sailing champion who angelically postpones his life to play catch with his dead, Red Sox -crazed, 11-year-old brother, Sam (Charlie Tahan). In limbo. Every day.
Everyone Else
In “Everyone Else,’’ a German couple languishes at a villa in Sardinia. They’re on vacation, and they appear to be happy together, except when they aren’t. The film is part breakup movie, part romantic getaway. When it’s which depends solely on personal temperament.
