Movie reviews of Simon Storey

Lindon’s incredibly restrained and subtly angry performance deserves all the plaudits it’s getting.

A generic, poorly scripted, plot-hole riddled mess.

A prime example of Italian cinema with its lavish photography, contemplative nature and richly emotional view of the world.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pretty much everything about Hangmen is excellent...

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

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

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

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

A valuable piece of documentary filmmaking.

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

An occasionally melancholy but very competently made drama.

A basic but still thoroughly enjoyably history lesson.

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

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

Has maintained a consistent quality with each outing.

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

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