Art & Life from NPR

Entertainment One
May 17, 2012 | NPR · Milk writer Dustin Lance Black directs a swampy Southern melodrama about a single mother's affair with the married sheriff of a small Virginia town. Critic Scott Tobias says the film suffers from inconsistent direction that treats its characters with contempt and its place as caricature.
 
Sony Pictures Classics
May 17, 2012 | NPR · The invention of the vibrator is the focus of a romantic comedy set in 1880s London and starring Hugh Dancy, Felicity Jones and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Critic Jeannette Catsoulis says the film is disappointingly limp, turning the story of a device that rocked sexual politics into coy costumed farce.
 
IFC Film
May 17, 2012 | NPR · Based on actual cases, the documentary-style drama follows officers of Paris' Child Protection Unit through successes and failures and the ambiguity in between. Critic Mark Jenkins says the film features a virtuoso ensemble cast and is both humane and disturbing. (Recommended)
 
ILM/Universal Pictures
May 17, 2012 | NPR · Inspired by the popular board game, the summer blockbuster pits the U.S. Navy against an invading force of hostile aliens. NPR's Bob Mondello says the Transformers-like mayhem that ensues is more or less incoherent.
 
Zeitgeist Films
May 17, 2012 | NPR · Two families united by marriage but divided by class are the focus of an intensely compelling slice of noir about moral rot and class warfare in post-Soviet Russia. Critic Ella Taylor says the film by director Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return) smolders with existential unease.
