Movie reviews of Simon Storey

It would be impossible not to have a great time while watching this simple yet funny and deeply memorable gem. Review

A few genuinely scary moments and a story with enough thematic depth... Review

Has good intentions and it’s great to see a film led by an aging actress... Review

No one can make realistic and uber-stoic cinema quite like him. Review

Neon’s greatest strength is that it takes an item we see every day and brings it to the forefront of the mind. Review

Has a couple of very good performances, some excellent cinematography, and a great score, but overall is let down by an overcooked script. Review

A very interesting account of some truly remarkable people with a truly beautiful soundtrack... Review

Pretty much everything about Hangmen is excellent... Review

Occasionally unpleasant but still one hell of an experience – not for those of weak stomach. Review

Classic viewing which showcases one of the best performances of Maggie Smith’s career... Review

Some sections do drag spoil what is otherwise a perfectly good film. Review

Truly provokes a serious and beautiful meditation on life, death and all the stuff in between. Review

A valuable piece of documentary filmmaking. Review

A melancholy yet dignified and often funny story about shuffling to the end of this mortal coil... Review

An occasionally melancholy but very competently made drama. Review

A basic but still thoroughly enjoyably history lesson. Review

A mature, highly nuanced exploration of some remarkable themes and people... Review

A documentary that will resonate especially with those who know the art of dance. Review

Has maintained a consistent quality with each outing. Review

A rare example of a film that genuinely has bad intentions and follows through. Review

A truly astonishing piece of film making which brings to life like never before the most egregious chapter in human history... Review

This deceptively simple story is both complex and never predictable... Review

A monument to the power of the performing arts which leaves a lasting impression. Review

Jay Roach has created a very enjoyable film which brings to life John McNamara’s snappy script with a fantastic lead performance. Review
