Movie reviews of Jacob Richardson

A perfectly serviceable documentary, that feels unadventurous in an age of non-standard documentaries. Review

An impressive adult drama with all the complex emotional questions that will linger with you after the film grounded in superb performances from Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams and Billy Crudup. Review

An incredible technical achievement masks what is, at its core, a relatively standard actioner with a lot of heart. Review

A fun, funny, engrossing female led drama that never loses sight of its central conceit around female friendship. Review

This biopic is undoubtedly limited in scope and does little to contextualize Garland’s starpower, but it does act as a compelling vehicle for an inimitable performance by Renee Zellweger. Review

A pointlessly bloody, listless rehash that barely meets runtime requirements and only does so by bloating it out with soap opera drama. Review

A gripping, dramatically rewarding exploration of the deepest regions of space, and the deepest recesses of our hero’s psyche. Review

A serviceable Aussie tale that overcomes its shortcomings with sheer heart. Review

An absolutely hilarious comedy that will keep you laughing throughout. Review

IT: Chapter Two upholds the quality of the original. Not without flaws, but also unlikely to have you looking at your watch, this is a fun, freaky, popcorn horror. Review

Ditch Dora’s map and get one that leads straight to the exit of your movie theatre; you’ll need it. Review

Dogman is a gripping piece of Italian cinema that marks somewhat of a return to form for Garrone. Review

A wasted opportunity, that will only hold interest for the few. Review

Meandering, witty, funny, violent and above all endearingly nostalgic, Once Upon A Time In … Hollywood continues a winning streak from Tarantino while also feeling vastly different from anything else in his body of work. Review

A middling comedy that, for its unique premise, never quite capitalises on that feeling of ‘freshness’. Review

A tad long, but a fun, action-packed extravaganza that will have you laughing frequently. Review

A visually exciting, dramatically serviceable Aussie war film. Review

Another stunningly delivered documentary from Kapadia, Diego Maradona will keep you enthralled even if you don’t like football; but will give you more if you do. Review

The White Crow is not only unenjoyable for the most part, but critically it is boring. For a character whose real life was so interesting, that is a real shame. Review

Stunningly rendered, but ultimately lacking heart, this remake is a tremendous disappointment. Review

Stuber feels like a waste of precious feature film space. It’s funny in places, but there isn’t enough story here to make it memorable. Review

Booksmart is a must see coming of age comedy that intersperses the funny with deep insight. Review

While you might wish for something with a little more meat on the bones, Spider-Man: Far From Home is a hugely enjoyable, funny and engaging return to the MCU. Review

This animated sequel has about a million different plot threads, but will make your kids laugh. Review
