Movie reviews of David Nagle

The kind that makes you want to freeze the frame to revel in it – there are few directors’ films who coat you like Almodóvar’s. Review

Could have had a lot more to say. Review

Ood pacing, nice sparing use of close up, tight action sequences, and a few little visual flourishes. Review

As a film it doesn’t work, and when compared to the Marvel equivalent, Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s a long way off. Review

Wonderful actors and script. Review

Not a particularly subtle film, but it is layered, tense and moving, and there’s much pleasure in a simple story well told... Review

It’s not poorly made, but it’s a surprisingly impotent... Review

The sheer damn likeability of the cast distracts you from the fact that this could have been a really biting satire... Review

Just one for the fans, one to pass the time – far from revolutionary and not a cause for celebrations. Review

The content of the film could easily add up to something depressing, but it’s actually surprisingly hopeful and patriotic. Review

What makes Deadpool though is the constant humour and personality throughout. Review

This movie is like the original Macintosh of Steve Jobs films – there’s surely still a better, definitive version on the production line. Review

Bowden and Fleck give this study of character and friendship a lived-in, comfortable feel... Review

This film doesn’t know what it is but it feels like it wants to tell us what to think. Review

Delightfully sweet and funny in its best bits, but also runs dark and true in its more dramatic moments. Review

Sad, dark, funny, moving, and unexpected. Review

Not the pure action thrills of Rogue Nation or even the few laughs of Ant-Man, but there’s enough here to warrant a watch. Review
