Viewers who work with such vessels and form attachments may disagree, but the subplot does occasionally threaten to sink what is otherwise a melancholy thriller about a generation of men struggling to find a place for themselves in a post-war Britain. Review
The showy direction Fuqua opted for in the previous two instalments felt jarring when set against Washington's calm portrayal of an aging and gentlemanly killer. He appears to have matured as a director in the intervening years, and his studied approach here is more befitting a series centred on a man who can't move as quickly as his adversaries but is always two steps ahead. Review
An unconvincing coda suggests a sequel, but while I'm not sure there's anywhere left to take this particular property, I'm certainly looking forward to more from Monsieur Bodin. Review
With anything resembling a narrative almost entirely absent, it's difficult to view Anchorage as anything other than a calling card for the two actors at its core. Review
While Martin is a layered portrayal of a put-upon husband, Agathe is reduced to little more than a one-note victim, a shame given how she's portrayed by one of the most exciting actresses to rise in European cinema in recent years. Review
This is a film that has been clearly devised at the script stage, making it a rare indie horror that wins us over with its storytelling as much as its scares and suspense. I look forward to seeing where the trail takes Elcar. Review
Petzold's timely environmental commentary echoes Leon's self-consumption. Leon can't see the forest for the trees until the trees are ablaze. Review
Gallner and Roden are both excellent, particularly the latter in how smoothly she transitions between Anya and Tracy. Considering the central premise, Mother, May I? never quite manages to creep us out as effectively as that striking setup might suggest. Review
T.I.M. functions as an engaging tech thriller but it lacks the satirical edge of M3GAN. Review
Though set in 2003, primarily to accommodate its video store setting, the period setting slyly critiques the era we find ourselves living in today. Review
Even if you've never had any self-doubt, it's impossible not to empathise with Beth. Louis-Dreyfus plays the part like a wounded animal, and her embodiment of the emotional hurt she's suddenly engulfed by is akin to a lighter version of seeing Jimmy Stewart depressed and suicidal at the end of It's a Wonderful Life. Review
Ridley is really only known for her role in the Star Wars franchise, so her performance here almost feels like we're seeing her for the first time, and she's revelatory. Review
Such distractions are thankfully brief and the core of the movie is a simple and endearing tale of two people finding family just when they need it most. Review
The biggest problem with Meg 2: The Trench is that it fundamentally misunderstands the appeal of sharksploitation movies. Almost none of them are good, and the few that work manage to pull off the feat of making us care about the human characters. Review
While there's little here to mark her out as a writer/director to watch, it's clear she has a bright future in front of the camera. Review
Kudos to Kim, whose performance leads us to overlook some of her character's inconsistencies, at least while viewing. Lloyd's structuring of the film means that we're too busy guessing what's at play to interrogate some of the flaws in the script. Review
As you would expect from Peckinpah, the film's action scenes are intense and as memorable as any he created during his career. Review
While the movie is calm and calculated in its storytelling for much of the running time, Zarcilla isn't afraid to give us an old-fashioned bonkers climax, riffing on The Fall of the House of Usher and William Lustig's Maniac. Review
Annoyingly, all this insufferable performative white liberalism is capped off with a genuinely great pun. Whether you can make it to the end to experience it is another question. Review
Perhaps Oppenheimer's biggest flaw is how little insight it gives us into the man himself. Review
Is a fitting end to Loach's career, one filled with small moments of humanity that have more impact than any angry monologue. Review
Quicksand gets bogged down (sorry) in Josh and Sofia trashing out the reasons why their relationship failed. Review
Rather than exploiting our knowledge of this world to create suspense, The Red Door too often makes us sit through what feels like a retread of the first movie, right down to another boring climax in The Further. Review
The action is massive, the very definition of spectacle, but it never loses sight of the people involved. Review
