Beau Is Afraid (2023) 68% “It’s hard to thrill to the turn of the screw when the wheels have already come off.” – Sight & Sound Jun 8, 2023 Full Review The Comedian (2012) 47% “The Comedian is impressively alert to the power of the unspoken. The whole cast is quietly expressive of shifting, ambivalent feelings.” – Sight & Sound Jul 31, 2018 Full Review True Grit (2010) 95% “Henry Hathaway's 1969 adaptation was highly faithful... The Coens' movie is less faithful than Hathaway's but stronger - the production, by their regular team, is formally superb - and weirder.” – Sight & Sound Jul 10, 2018 Full Review Raging Bull (1980) 92% 5/5 “Raging Bull is a masterclass in pain inflicted on oneself and one’s loved ones, as well as one’s opponents.” – Time Out Apr 26, 2018 Full Review BPM (Beats Per Minute) (2017) 99% “120 BPM understands that conflict is not abuse and that comrades need not be friends. It immerses us in tangled lives of passion and anger on their own terms of tenderness, frustration, charisma, mess, pride, fury, pain, laughter, intimacy and bitterness.” – Sight & Sound Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Hail, Caesar! (2016) 86% “As for the Coens themselves, eccentric and critical Hollywood tomb raiders they might be but, like Sturges, they believe sincerely in the value of delight for its own sake.” – Sight & Sound Mar 3, 2016 Full Review El topo (1971) 80% “It remains an aesthetically intoxicating trip.” – Time Out Mar 11, 2015 Full Review All About Eve (1950) 99% 5/5 “Joseph L Mankiewicz's film dissects the narcissism and hypocrisy of the spotlight as sharply as [Billy Wilder's Sunset Blvd], but pays equal attention to the challenges of enacting womanhood.” – Time Out Feb 22, 2015 Full Review Pride (2014) 93% “Small moments of thoughtless homophobia and union-bashing stick in the craw, successfully engendering empathy across apparently wide distances.” – Sight & Sound Jan 5, 2015 Full Review Tom at the Farm (2013) 78% 4/5 “Taut, creepy, compelling and sexy.” – Time Out Apr 1, 2014 Full Review Stranger by the Lake (2013) 94% “It shimmers with that intoxicating sun-on-the-water allure that might make someone not quite themselves.” – Sight & Sound Feb 21, 2014 Full Review Magnificent Presence (2012) 69% 3/5 “The tension between fantasy and reality, idealism and pragmatism, is at the heart of the story, and explored with some complexity.” – Time Out Oct 22, 2013 Full Review The Shining (1980) 83% 5/5 “A masterpiece.” – Time Out Oct 6, 2013 Full Review I Want Your Love (2012) 64% 4/5 “Audience enjoyment is ... likely to be dictated by tolerance of generally aimless, often witty, sometimes pretentious West Coast hipsterdom.” – Time Out Jun 25, 2013 Full Review I'm So Excited! (2013) 49% 4/5 “With its sprawling satire and knockabout tone, 'I'm So Excited' is the closest Almodvar has come in years to early romps like 'Labyrinth', 'Pepi, Luci, Bom' and 'What Have I Done to Deserve This?'” – Time Out Apr 30, 2013 Full Review Side Effects (2013) 83% 4/5 “As a thriller in the Hitchcock mould, 'Side Effects' is great fun: its characters are well acted without being entirely likeable, which makes their jeopardy all the more enjoyable while putting us at a clinical remove.” – Time Out Mar 5, 2013 Full Review A Liar's Autobiography - The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman (2012) 45% 3/5 “The varying tones give a patchy feel to the enterprise without adding up to anything as radical as the Pythons' own assault on 온라인카지노추천 conventions. A cordial tribute to a fascinating chap nonetheless.” – Time Out Feb 5, 2013 Full Review Yossi (2012) 89% 4/5 “Knoller's superbly underplayed performance ensures that Yossi's sad-sack tendencies aren't allowed to alienate him from our affections.” – Time Out Nov 27, 2012 Full Review Starbuck (2011) 64% 3/5 “Its story is formulaic and undisciplined, while its tone is mildly reactionary and hugely sentimental.” – Time Out Nov 20, 2012 Full Review Ninja Scroll (1993) 90% 3/5 “What it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in often dazzling animation ...” – Time Out Nov 20, 2012 Full Review Call Me Kuchu (2012) 98% 4/5 “[A] shocking, moving, enthralling and enraging doc ...” – Time Out Oct 30, 2012 Full Review Tabu (2012) 87% 4/5 “Evoking work as disparate as that of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Guy Maddin and Claire Denis - with a dash of 'The Artist' thrown in - 'Tabu' is a tantalising trip.” – Time Out Sep 5, 2012 Full Review Ted (2012) 69% 3/5 “Sure, MacFarlane, you can make us laugh, but it's time to grow up. Seriously.” – Time Out Jul 31, 2012 Full Review Red Lights (2012) 30% 2/5 “The clue's in the title: don't go.” – Time Out Jun 14, 2012 Full Review The Dictator (2012) 57% 4/5 “If a comedy is meant to make you laugh, mission accomplished. As a series of wonderfully grotesque set-pieces, The Dictator delivers.” – Time Out May 11, 2012 Full Review
