Movie reviews of Alice Bishop

Allows craziness to permeate the walls of inspiration, performing to breaking point within the film’s commune of hysteria...

Wastes cameos on a crude and rude farce, allowing slapstick and cheese to mesh with a postmodern aesthetic...

A drama of unparalleled tragedy in which overbearing sounds and overlapping techniques create an afflicted and irreversible aesthetic.

A dumb bit of fun but for those looking for a memorable night out it’s an utter disaster.

Its actors become a vessel for dreariness as badly written archetypes leave viewers baffled by the immateriality of the movie’s entire structure.

Seemingly produced out of thin air and rendered unmarketable due to its kooky concept...

Nothing short of unsightly and it makes no apologies for its actions while both repelling and delighting audiences in equal measure.

Crassly contrasts the ripeness of youth with the sag of middle age...

A professional roller-coaster with predictable peaks and troughs leading to a standout finale...

Finds little reason to opt for sophistication as its desire to retain the beats of a bungled B-movie suffocates the real truth behind its latest search for meaning.

Allows CGI and wishy-washy storytelling to coexist with experimentation...

Sees actions speak louder than words in a stylistically taut but thematically innovative piece of experimental cinema.

Inexcusably wearisome and poorly performed...

Less narrow-minded than its predecessors although equally farcical as it filters pressing threats into bizarre twists and turns...

A film of simple pleasures and life-affirming affection from a director whose movies have become the epitome of sentimental storytelling...

A hidden gem buried in this year’s art house line-up...

A destructive and depressive drama structured around notions of whirlwind romance.

A spinning barrel of ideas with far too many loose connections for Green to fashion into a lucid narrative.

Ultimately failing to recapture the power and vibrancy of Gunn's notable original.

Sets the benchmark for the female action hero...

Uses its copycat skills to render a new-age alternative to a dated yet marvellous classic...

The movie underscores their ignorance with crushing honesty...

Hurtling towards mediocrity at a startling rate...

A handsomely written but unrewarding adaptation of an award-winning Julian Barnes novel...
