Step up for an indie tour de force. Shot on an iPhone 5 for practically no money, Tangerine jumps off the screen and wows you like nobody’s business. Transgender actresses Mya Taylor and Kitana Kiki Rodriguez play two L.A. hookers on the prowl on Christmas Eve. Sin-Dee Rella (Rodriguez), just… Source: Rolling Stones Movie […]
Amy
The artistic life and awful death of Amy Winehouse at age 27 has been so exhaustively chronicled that we think we know everything about her. Think again. What makes Asif Kapadia’s documentary a devastating don’t-miss dazzler — like the lady herself — is the way he lays out her story… Source: Rolling Stones Movie […]
Terminator Genisys
So many actors have played John Connor, savior of humanity in the war against the machines, that this time-traveling fifth chapter in the Terminator series could be a head-scratcher. My advice?

Audiences made Ted one of the highest-grossing R-rated comedies ever. They’ll… Source: Rolling Stones Movie […]
Inside Out
An 11-year-old girl wrestles with the bickering emotions inside her head. It sounds like a therapy session. Instead, Pixar’s 15th feature is another landmark, an unmissable film triumph that raises the bar on what animation can do and proves that live action doesn’t have dibs on cinematic art. Oh, did… Source: Rolling Stones Movie […]
Infinitely Polar Bear
It should be clear that Mark Ruffalo (Foxcatcher, The Kids Are All Right, The Normal Heart) is one of the best actors on the planet. He proves it again in Infinitely Polar Bear, a hilarious and heartbreaking tale of a family on the ropes. Set in Boston in the late 1970s,… Source: Rolling […]
