Robert W. Butler

Butler's Cinema Scene

Walter Salles’ film tells a hugely dramatic real-life story by concentrating not on the big moments but on the little ones. The results are quietly devastating.

Rated: A-

The Movie Cricket

A razor-sharp thriller, a painfully emotional tale of grief, and a deeply felt romance in which love is measured by the absence.
