Movie reviews of Simon Storey

Ice-in-spine, shit-in-pants levels of terrifying.

Alongside the music the other treat is all the new pieces of trivia here to discover.

Aiming for low brow entertainment and for the most part hitting the target.

Dramatic in the best sense with relatable characters taking on real life problems...

A delightfully curious entry into the coming of age genre...

While the film is a waste of time the message is at least commendable...

Still stands on the quality of McConaughey’s performance, the incredible true story it tells...

A film as baffling as it is awkward.

A lot of fun which manages to breathe new life into the format of found-footage.

Beautiful images, boundless optimism and charm...

A ‘feel-good’ film in the truest sense that shouldn’t be missed.

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...
