In a Nutshell

The New Yorker's Anthony Lane has a superb gift for summing up movies in a way that is both hilarious and succinct:
I did laugh at the end of “The Revenge of the Sith,” but that was from pure relief, much as the people of Stalingrad gave a bitter, mirthless grin when the siege was finally lifted.
Ouch.
