Movie reviews of Allan Brown

As treacherous and as beautiful as the Scottish coast itself, The Vanishing is compelling work from all involved. Review

Stirs the deepest of emotions in an intense and heart-breaking narrative... Review

A deep and insightful look at the man, before he became, The Man. Review

A challenging subject that is handled with the grit, honesty and compassion it deserves, whilst anchored by a stunning career defining performance. Review

An accomplished thriller that boasts a plethora of exquisite performances... Review

Boasts two incredibly tender performances... Review

A thin, episodic and painfully generic retooling of a literary classic that feels like it’s been done on the cheap. A John Ford film this is not. Review

An intelligent and artistic portrayal of a harrowing mental illness, interwoven with a stunningly executed psychological thriller. Review

Beecham ignites the screen with cold hearted cynicism in one of the most authentic and captivating performances... Review

A raw and deeply emotional journey filled with heartache and hardship... Review

A glorious success and fitting sequel to such an iconic cinematic gem. Review

A charming and deeply personal journey that capitalises on two wonderfully realised performances. Review

Zips along at breakneck speed offering an exceptional lead performance, exquisite visuals and skilfully executed set-pieces... Review

It’s an absolute riot to have Gervais back, but the new playground just isn’t as rich or as colourful as it once was. Review

A moving tale of hope and friendship that is wrapped around a thrilling narrative. Review

Neustaedter and the whole cast salvage what they can from it... Review

Not only a wonderful expression of warmth, but a beautiful character-arc fully realised. Review

Full of heart charm and lots of laughter, but it is Brian Cox’s commanding lead performance that truly ignites the screen... Review

A light entertaining family film and fitting tribute to the Morris boys. Review

Graham and Hill deliver two dazzlingly intense performances in this unsettling and astutely accomplished British thriller. Review
