This Month’s Highlights
Panic Room
his David Fincher thriller almost feels like the masterful director upping the level of difficulty on himself just for a fun challenge: Put a mother and daughter (Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart) in an Upper West Side loft with $3 million hidden in a panic room, and sic three home invaders (Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto and a magnetic Dwight Yoakam) on them. No one can leave, and there’s only so much space: It’s New York City, after all. That physical limitation actually brings out the best in Fincher: You can see his mind whirring with all the corners he has painted himself into, and all the ways he can get out. Jodie Foster is a physical marvel in the lead role: She’s a protective mother, but she turns out to be so much more. —Tim Grierson and Will Leitch
