The story of two Milwaukee musical sensations becomes a Hollywood saga, embodied by magnetic movie stars.

Contact sport movies are a dime a dozen, but Christy Martin’s remarkable true story helps make David Michôd’s biopic a compelling watch.

Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague won’t start any cinematic revolution, but it will defend the idea that making movies (and watching them) is an inspiring collective effort.

Hollywood finds a way to turn a star into a martyr of the arts, even if he’s one of the most well-behaved guys in the music industry.

An exception to the rule that films limited mainly to one location can feel stagey and stifling.

Director Mona Fastvold combines two “unforgiving” genres—the biopic and the musical—and focuses on a relatively unknown historical figure: the founder of the Shaker movement.

The biopic follows its titular heroine through the turbulent late 1930s in Tel Aviv.

Catherine Deneuve is a delight throughout. Her deadpan delivery hovers between bemusement and elegance.

In Jessica Palud’s bumpy but effective biopic of Maria Schneider, the Last Tango in Paris shoot casts a shadow over everything that follows in Schneider’s life.
