“The Lost City of Z”
(Drama film, action, 2 hrs, 21 mins)
Comments:
James Gray makes intelligent, good-looking, grown-up movies that are admirable but somehow rather reserved; this real-life adventure tale is a more sprawling work, but the result is similar. (Anderson, Common Sense Media)
Solid and stately, a ’70s-feeling jungle adventure film that’s more of a thought-provoker than an excitement-inducer. But there’s nothing wrong with that. (Dan Jolin, Empire)
