Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Steve Coogan, and Rebecca Hall make a riveting quartet in Oren Moverman's adaptation of the Herman Koch novel about a dark-hearted dinner gathering.
2908d ago
Writer-director Oren Moverman's drama about family dysfunction and political cover-ups continues Richard Gere's winning streak.
2908d ago
Indeed the cast and Moverman are all on immense if divisively heightened form right up to the irresolute, overwrought ending. But how else could a meal so massive and rich end but with a dose of indigestion? “History is over,” Paul preaches at us at one point, “Everything is happening this second.” And in this scabrous drama-comedy-satire-psychological-horror hybrid, almost to the point of breathless incoherence at times, everything always is.
2908d ago
Two couples meet for a tense meal as they dance around the elephant in the room: whether to cover up what their sons did, or make them take responsibility.
2908d ago
It’s a dark brew, and Moverman sustains a mood of increasing tension for most of the film, but a few too many times we are flung back into another fractured, revelation-seeking flashback, and the tautness that was building deflates.
2908d ago
Oren Moverman (“The Messenger”) overserves the ideas in this topical thriller-satire.
2908d ago
The Dinner charges full price for the warmed-over version of a best-selling novel.
2908d ago
On paper, writer-director Oren Moverman’s The Dinner has all the ingredients for what should be a four-star feast. But from the opening course, it’s clear that something has gone wrong in the kitchen. Moverman, the chef, has tried to make his creation too clever and complicated.
2908d ago
Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Steve Coogan headline Oren Moverman's adaptation of Herman Koch's bestseller, which premieres in competition at the Berlinale.
2908d ago
You get the sense that Moverman may just have bitten off a little more than he can chew.
2908d ago
An imperfect but fascinating film, The Dinner's stellar cast delivers a deeply troubling and psychologically complex treatment of class and family.
2908d ago
Steve Coogan startles in this bitter four-hander.
2908d ago
Despite frequent flashbacks and Bobby Bukowski’s richly dimensional photography, the movie has a static, stagy look that amplifies the oppressiveness of its increasingly unpleasant exchanges.
2908d ago
Steve Coogan is at a fancy dinner, but he’s not doing any Michael Caine impressions.
2908d ago
Moverman's previous films include "The Messenger" and "Rampart," both very good, and he co-wrote "Love & Mercy" (the terrific Beach Boys biopic) and "I'm Not There" (the Bob Dylan fantasia), proving his skill with complicated narrative structures.
2908d ago
Oren Moverman’s “The Dinner” is an incredibly frustrating movie, almost purposefully so.
2908d ago
The Dinner is shrilly, luridly, dully, and unremittingly ugly, preaching to a choir that it also demonizes.
2908d ago
Laura Linney, Rebecca Hall, Richard Gere and Steve Coogan star in a dull, shouty, unconvincing film about four people discussing their children over a fancy meal.
