Movie reviews of Dan Santos

The performances are all solid. Review

A worthy conclusion to one of the more notable franchises of recent years. Review

A compelling look into the two fascinating personalities which started it all off. Review

Provides another great addition to Meryl Streep’s catalogue of indelible performances, but it does not end up being particularly notable overall. Review

An immensely entertaining, surprising and thoroughly welcome shot of hilarious adrenalin. Review

Too often its quieter moments feel disconnected or detached from the more viscerally honest scenes... Review

Beat back any temptation to analyse too deeply, and just allow the waves of hysterical, crazed incoherence to wash over you. Review

A masterfully executed, gripping thriller, one in which all of its elements work exceptionally well to ensure that the tension never eases up. Review

Wants evoke the ineffable emotion of uninhibited youth, and it succeeds in doing so. Review

The film firstly succeeds because it manages to make a relatively far-fetched idea plausible. Review

Unsettling because it aims not to answer questions or provide explanations, but to impart a lingering feeling of unease that remains unassuaged. Review

A riveting, uncompromising film, one that complicates and undermines simplistic characterisations of the issues it presents. Review

Even though the film relies comfortably on standard crime thriller conventions, it has enough conviction to make it compelling. Review

Strangely engrossing, at times confusing and even confronting, but it has a dreamy vision that makes it worthwhile. Review

Succeeds as an emotionally compelling argument for euthanasia. Review

Has several well-executed features, but overall its premise is a little too slight to be thoroughly impactful... Review

Serves as a potent tribute of her towering talent... Review

Pixar’s most intellectual and yet most viscerally moving feature to date. Review

A very pleasant surprise – smart, witty, uproariously entertaining and not to be missed. Review

The film’s main flaw would perhaps be its arguably clichéd ending, but the many humourous moments more than compensate... Review

Refreshing for taking focus on a single incident and taking a more intimate approach to depicting WWII. Review

Whilst featuring a gripping central performance and moments of anxious tension throughout, is not quite as complex or impactful as it sets out to be. Review

A highly accomplished film on all levels. It is, quite simply, superb. Review

A compelling portrait of youth and experience, of repression and desire, and of two women hindered but not paralysed by the social taboos of their time. Review
