This week’s Hypable’s Rotten Tomatoes Roundup: Drive starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan, Straw Dogs starring Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard, I Don’t Know How She Does It, and many more!
Below are the qualifiers this week:
Wide Releases:
Drive | 95% | A hyper-stylized blend of striking imagery and violence, Drive represents a fully realized vision of arthouse action.
Also check out Our Review of Drive.
Straw Dogs | 37% | This remakes streamlines the plot but ultimately makes a fatal mistake: It celebrates violence.
I Don’t know How She Does It | 21% | A limp comedy with a hopelessly outdated viewpoint on gender, featuring Sarah Jessica Parker in rote Carrie-mode.
Limited Releases
Restless | 38% | Mia Wasikowska puts in a nuanced performance but nobody else, actors and directors included, are capable of finding a compelling angle beneath the twee veneer.
Article Continues BelowMy Afternoons with Marguerite | 81% | It’s sentimental and treacly, but that’s not enough to prevent My Afternoons with Marguerite from being truly affecting.
Other films opening in limited release include The Lion King in 3D, The Mill and the Cross and Stay Cool. To see all the other releases this weekend, click here.
