Movie reviews of Bob Mann

It is delivered in such an artsy way that I found it frustrating and dull. In my opinion, it would have been much better to have made a 90 minute film focused on just Feier’s story. Review

As a first directorial effort from Kendrick, it’s a decent film without really setting my world on fire. Review

Just when you think all the clever ideas have been mined, along comes a movie that is refreshingly different. This is a really clever film. Your heart really does go out to people suffering from any serious facial disfigurement, especially those with neurofibromatosis. Review

It’s not serious. It’s not scary. It’s not funny. It’s just MEH. Review

I wasn’t expecting much from this one, but it really exceeded my expectations. One of the best horror films I’ve seen this year. Well recommended, if horror is your thing. Review

This one was a bit of a disappointing miss for me I’m afraid. For me, it’s just not top-Almodóvar. Review

A ‘small’ but highly enjoyable comedy/drama. Review

This is a very professional production and one that I would fully expect to join Migration and Inside Out 2 in the Oscars Animated Feature shortlist. Review

Sebastian Stan seems to inhabit Trump at a deeper level such that I ended up really believing I was seeing Trump on the screen. Review

After watching this film I was left with the overwhelming impression that this could be a monster Christmas hit and be one of those ‘traditional’ beloved Yuletide movies that will become a de facto “lovely old Christmas film” for many years in the future. Review

What really makes this movie succeed for me is the crazy amount of chemistry between Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, thanks to them both being insanely good actors. Review

This is a film that really came out of the screen and surprised me, in a good way. Despite seeing the hard lives of these grafters on the very margins of society, the love they have for their families, however dysfunctional, shines through, giving the film a strange feelgood vibe despite everything. Review

Nightbitch has its moments, particularly in reflecting how looking after young children can exert its own special form of mental torture. But I’m not sure it developed those ideas enough to fully work with me. Review

A good discussion starter: a film that makes you seriously think about what data you put online and what apps you use. Review

This is a very different film, striking and memorable. It will certainly not be for everyone, as it is very much ‘out there’ in its storytelling. But in a landscape of same old-same old cookie-cutter horror movies, this is a stunningly different black-comedy offering, with an essence of comic-horror, that will stick in my memory for a long time. Review

This is a solidly made British film documenting a very significant moment in medical and social history. Review

For although I wasn’t wowed by the film overall, I was wowed by Craig’s performance in it. Review

This is a terrific film that I enjoyed immensely. I never quite knew where it was going to go. Review

I really enjoyed this one. It was a real thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Review

As you might gather, I enjoyed this one however hard a watch it was in places. Well made and stuffed with interesting anecdotes and memories. Review

Rumours passed the 6-laugh test for me but comedy is very personal so you might sit their stony faced. Review

It’s a perfectly pleasant watch. But it’s not a hugely exciting watch. Review

The story is engaging with Santosh as a strong female role model at the heart of it. Review

Like Santosa, this is a really interesting beast. A cross-genre busting effort that works more than it doesn’t work. I only wish the flabby elements had been tightened a bit, particularly in the 3rd act. But I think it’s well worth a watch though. Review
