Movie reviews of Kevin Hawkins

A film set in Rwanda, about Rwanda, and starring Rwandan people that seemingly says more about America. Review

The partnership between the vulgar Rogan and the devious Byrne takes a while to get used to, but the partnership works. Review

A deep film, but one that ultimately leaves many questions unanswered. Review

You can’t go wrong in seeing it, but you can’t go wrong in missing it either. Review

It’s an idea that’s as brave as it is ingenious. And the results are mixed. Review

Much of the story is told directly from Armstrong’s mouth, making his blatant deception all the more confronting. Review

Never ventures far from its formulaic path. Review

Chadwick’s biopic in its own right covers enough territory to make it a satisfying – and thought-provoking – work. Review

Fans able to tolerate the voiceover and the human cameos may well leave the cinema satisfied by the narrative arc, and the love story... Review

Adolescents and adults will identify with the characters and enjoy the humour, but may find the songs or magic a tad corny. Review

This feel-good comedy manages to hit the right notes, in more ways than one. Review

Ntertains with its humour, and may well be the surprise hit of the summer. Review

The most mainstream work about Assange to date. Review

Might not be enough to make Shakespeare proud, but it will be enough to leave audiences reasonably satisfied. Review

We know an injustice has taken place, but we’re not called to start a picket line anytime soon. Review

A refreshing portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most loved yet misunderstood women. Review

Makes for a pleasant film, but prevents Turbo from ever becoming more than that. Review

A powerful documentary, it’s nevertheless quite a niche film. Review

When that first tear rolls down your eye, the film’s weaknesses all of a sudden seem irrelevant. Review

Certainly a pretty film and that will be enough to impress most audiences. Unfortunately the film is poorly executed... Review

An unfunny episode of Family Guy, in which the plot walks off on tangents so wild that it’s easy to forget the primary storyline. Review

A sharp commentary on today’s entertainment culture, which is only strengthened by the troubling fact that it’s based on a true story. Review

Has enough fairytale magic and comic violence to appease the girls and boys. Review

A harmless animated feature, which requires minimal effort to enjoy. Review
