Strong performances by Glenn Close and Mia Wasikowska help to elevate this heartfelt Oscar-baiting period film to something that is worth a watch.

Another compelling gem from the Dardennesโ€”tender, empathetic and mature, yet so deceptively simple.

Clint Eastwood’s weakest in a long while, but it still remains fairly engaging because of the strength of Leonardo DiCaprio’s singular performance.
