Kurt Loder Reviews Wanderlust and Bullhead

|

What you make of the new comedy Wanderlust may depend on where you stand in the 50-year-long hippies-versus-straights continuum. Those who were around for the 1960s may find it boring; people born after 1970 just might like it. Bullhead is a grim Belgian movie about the illicit trade in agricultural growth hormones. Subtitled, of course. What's not to like, right? And yet, writes Kurt Loder, the film is very much worth seeing for the great, smoldering performance of its star, Matthias Schoenaarts, playing a rural brute with a hideous affliction.
