Withnail and I (1987) 83% “If all of it was as funny as the best of it, the film would be a remarkable achievement. Even as it is, it deserves an audience, and recognition for Richard E. Grant as an outstanding comic actor.” – Independent (UK) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “David Lynch's Blue Velvet is a sustained exercise in disorientation, and if it is not exactly the masterpiece he will make someday (if only to balance the fiasco of Dune), it is certainly startling and full of extraordinary touches.” – Independent (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% “The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a mild disappointment; not a disaster but a definite falling off from the studio's series of recent triumphs, running from Beauty and the Beast in 1991.” – Independent (UK) Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 77% “Craven does a better job exploring -- and exploding -- stereotypes.” – Independent (UK) Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% “The film tries to keep a straight face about the terrible damage done by tornadoes, the need t give people more warning, but joy in mayhem is just too strong.” – Independent (UK) Jul 16, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% “Nora Ephron's screenplay, consistently funny and charming, is her best work by far. ” – Independent (UK) Jul 9, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% “The sad thing is that The Shawshank Redemption, a so-so film, would have made a terrific little movie. A pacier project would have given us less time to notice sentimentalities.” – Independent (UK) Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 83% “Perhaps a film nearly three hours long needs more tonal variety, and perhaps a film whose genre is the thriller shouldn't indulge in so much atmosphere if the result is to neutralise excitement in advance.” – Independent (UK) Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% “Lone Star never quite lives up, in its storytelling, to its incidental observations. ” – Independent (UK) Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% “The film occupies a sort of limbo, belonging to the genre of fantasy but excluded from its pleasures, equally cut off from childhood and maturity, and frustrating rather than rewarding any surrender from an audience.” – Independent (UK) Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% “Spielberg substitutes as the climax of his film a celebration of culture for the book’s celebration of nature... It’s a brave rhetorical solution to the narrative weakness of a book whose attraction was always its flesh and not its bone structure.” – New Statesman May 25, 2023 Full Review Heavenly Creatures (1994) 95% “A striking addition to the cinema of folie à deux. ” – Independent (UK) May 16, 2023 Full Review Radio Days (1987) 92% “There is still the feeling, despite the pleasures that Radio Days delivers, that Allen's new films now differ, not as cities differ, but as one suburb differs from the next.” – Independent (UK) Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Groundhog Day (1993) 94% “Even at its most negligible, Harold Ramis' film is intensely cinematic, not because he is some kind of genius director -- he's not -- but because in the end it's down to film language whether the hero is in hell or in heaven. ” – Independent (UK) Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Dances With Wolves (1990) 87% “Although everyone involved is under the impression that the film is an epic, it is actually a pastoral with flurries of action, an idyll with ructions rather than a vision of heroic struggle. There is nowhere near enough conflict to justify [its length].” – Independent (UK) Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Rain Man (1988) 88% “In a sense, Dustin Hoffman has the easier assignment, one at any rate that offers the infinite scope to the research that suits his temperament as an actor, but there's no doubt that his Raymond is a remarkable achievement. ” – Independent (UK) Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Driving Miss Daisy (1989) 85% “What Driving Miss Daisy is really nostalgic for is not the plump rump of a 1948 Packard, or the graciousness of Atlanta streets in the old days, but for a time when black servants died quietly while shelling peas without bothering their masters.” – Independent (UK) Jul 25, 2022 Full Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 95% “Liberal, conservative, gross, fastidious, sly, responsible, feminist, sex-fearing, it is a particularly American compendium of impulses, a career breakthrough for Jonathan Demme that is also a Pyrrhic victory for his politics.” – Independent (UK) Mar 22, 2022 Full Review The Joy Luck Club (1993) 86% “Highly contrived and emotionally manipulative, but still undramatic.” – Independent (UK) Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% “Reservoir Dogs still looks like the great American film of the decade, but Quentin Tarantino's second film as writer-director shows him already deep in the territory of self-parody.” – Independent (UK) Apr 24, 2019 Full Review The First Wives Club (1996) 50% “It's not much more than a variation on Nine to Five, with the object of revenge switched from a single boss to multiple husbands.” – Independent (UK) Jan 9, 2019 Full Review The Meteor Man (1993) 27% “There is a pleasing off-kilter balance to the view of his world, where the good guys have all the best lines, but the baddies have a monopoly on dress sense.” – Independent (UK) Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) 42% “Supposedly it took Tracey Ullman five hours to get into make-up for her role as the king's cook, Latrine. She could have written a better script in a single session while her wrinkles hardened and they built up her nose.” – Independent (UK) Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Cinema Paradiso (1988) 91% “Giuseppe Tornatore, writer and director of Cinema Paradiso, knows that the way to make shameless wallowing palatable is to make no great claims for what you are resurrecting. ” – Independent (UK) Dec 6, 2018 Full Review The English Patient (1996) 86% “Relentlessly beautiful, but not quite stupifyingly so” – Independent (UK) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review
