“A Single Man”
*** 1/2 | A rich meeting of style and feeling can be found in fashion impresario Tom Ford’s directorial debut, featuring a career best performance from Colin Firth. He portrays George Falconer, a college professor who makes a fateful decision in the wake of his lover’s death. A student complicates his plans. Julianne Moore is mesmerizing as George’s mod, tippling gal pal. Matthew Goode, as the departed, is winningly warm in flashback. The film is set in L.A. during the height of the Cuban missile crisis. R. 1 hour, 49 minutes. Lisa Kennedy
“Brooklyn’s Finest”
*** | Richard Gere gets top billing as Eddie, a veteran with one week left before retirement. Don Cheadle is an embedded undercover cop in Brooklyn’s toughest drug precinct. His friend Wesley Snipes is a dealer trying to go straight after prison. The third cop, Ethan Hawke, is a narc whose wife, Lili Taylor, provides him with more of a melodramatic emergency than we are perhaps prepared to believe. R. 2 hours, 20 minutes. Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
