Climaxing with not one but two disturbing codas, Bad Tales might easily be accused of simply aiming for cheap shocks. Yet while misanthropy is often the lazy fallback of superficial European filmmakers with little to really say, the D'Innocenzos appear to be commenting on an Italy that's increasingly losing grasp of its joie de vivre as it attempts to compete with its more stoic Northern neighbours. Recensie
The Mortuary Collection has the feel of a pilot for a '90s cable show that failed be picked up by a network. Recensie
Present in almost every frame of The Intruder, Rivas is required to do as much heavy lifting here as Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion or Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby, and she proves up to the task. Recensie
There's impressive work done across the board here, even if the movie doesn't ultimately hold together, and Wildfire is an example of how far Irish cinema has come in terms of quality over the last decade. Recensie
Undine is a slight piece of fantasy that plays out against the not very fantastical backdrop of modern day suburban Berlin. Recensie
Ferrara's dreamlike imagery however is visually uninspired, despite handsome cinematography by Stefano Falivene, and his hallucinatory scenarios too often resemble a film student's aping of Jodorowsky. Recensie
Shadow Country refuses to take a side, instead dispassionately viewing both its German and Czech characters through a misanthropic lens. Recensie
Unlike the show within the film, which racks up millions of viewers by the minute, The Cleansing Hour will likely struggle to keep you glued until its climax, which admittedly offers a neat final twist. Recensie
Langford and Plummer have a great rapport, which makes up for a script clearly written by adults who have forgotten how teenagers speak. Recensie
Put your politics on hold for a couple of hours and Sorkin's pen and the talents of his impressive ensemble will do enough to occasionally fool you into thinking you're watching a great piece of drama. Recensie
You have to feel sympathy for the cast, who are largely impressive, particularly Jakeman, who really is giving it his all to create a sympathetic character, even if it's a character that doesn't make a lot of sense. Recensie
Scare Me suffers from major pacing issues, as it's too in love with its own words. Recensie
These are hardly original notions, and no amount of stylistic strokes can disguise the fact that Eternal Beauty has little to add to the cinematic conversation around mental illness. Recensie
The Antenna broadcasts its own crude message of how we should be wary of media, but it does so through a stultifyingly dull narrative that doesn't really hold up to any scrutiny... Recensie
The filmmaking is so intimate in parts that it makes us feel uncomfortable, as though we're intruding on someone's private affairs... Recensie
For all its trippiness and integration of temporal physics, The Dead Ones ultimately boils down to killing off its young cast one by one. Recensie
Danzig does at least attempt to give his movie the look of a comic book with primary coloured lighting, costumes and production design, but he displays little aptitude for directing, and certainly not for pacing. Recensie
Khaou takes a quiet and studied approach to filming this outwardly simple but thematically complicated story. Recensie
If I were cruel, I might describe The Man in the Hat as inconsequential. It does play like an easy listening version of a Terrence Malick movie, and it might be accused of being a free promo for the French tourist board. Recensie
The explanation also makes us question some of the events depicted earlier, such as why Malik and Kayla were being intimidated if the villains needed them to stick around. Recensie
The Devil All the Time has the journeyman look of prestige TV, with impatient editing that's always desperate to move on to the next chapter or awkwardly return to an earlier important detail. Recensie
The term 'elevated horror' is often bandied about by snobs who feel the need to justify their enjoyment of a horror movie, but the truth is horror is the most elevated, most cinematic genre of them all. Durkin gets this. Recensie
Bellamacina is herself a poet, and composed the many verses rendered in voiceover throughout the film, so I guess we're meant to believe Celeste is gifted, but it all just sounded like word salad to my ignorant ears. Recensie
