MATCH
“It’s rare to see this level of comfort between an actor and a character, and [Stewart’s] just as watchable shrinking from pain as he is telling a joke or yelling profanities. “Match” is ultimately about the sins of the past that come to roost in the modern world, and you can’t illustrate that without an actor who can’t seem delightfully happy to be anywhere.”

WAR STORY
“The hotel isn’t haunted but the guest is in “War Story,” an unusually sober, serious-minded American indie about a war photographer (Catherine Keener) who retreats from view following the death of a colleague in the war zone.
