Movie reviews of Don Shanahan

This is cinematic carnival bumper cars with all of the wild tangents representing the carny food confection. Review

Brilliant intelligence merges with maddening truths in a truly compelling exhibition. Review

Asa Butterfield's smile and wide-eyed worldview are charming and contagious. The kid’s got spirit and so does the movie. Review

Almodovar has a remarkable way in which his films extract emotionality and sensual ardor from mundane settings and artful melodrama. Review

A mature and beguiling romantic drama. Review

Certainly meanders more than it punches with its social commentary. Review

Unflashy and never acting with imitation or caricature, this is a superb and revealing film debut for the young actor. Review

Michael Fassbender is a compelling lead playing a father with his own daddy issues... Review

A tremendously serious and heartfelt film... Review

This story deserved more of a scintillating and honorable documentary treatment than another action vehicle for a star with no variety. Review

The core of the weakness unfortunately lies in Ben Affleck’s lead character, an unconvincing and poorly romanticized criminal character. Review

A crushingly moving and respectful experience for true believers and rightfully so. Review

These female stories are more than worthy to be told and a justified crowd-pleaser. Review
