Capsule review

Director Lee Daniels won awards and plaudits for the painfully titled Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire. This one will get some attention, too. Matthew McConaughey delivers another of the lean, dark-tinged, laconic performances that have marked his resurgence, and Nicole Kidman, playing a Southern Barbie, has a couple of startling scenes that will command much of the attention. The story, based on a Pete Dexter novel, brings a Miami reporter (McConaughey) and his partner (David Oyelowo) to backwater Florida in 1969 to investigate a possible miscarriage of justice. Once you meet the imprisoned subject, a super-creepy John Cusack, you’ll want the miscarriage left as is. The movie has power and originality, but it’s an over-the-top mess of styles, shocks, and excess. It got booed at Cannes, which may or may not be a recommendation. Rated R. 101 minutes.
