Love (2015) 42% “Love is bound to wind some people up, and it is overlong and a little clunky. But it is also a serious, honest, nakedly earnest piece of film-making.” – The Big Issue Sep 21, 2023 Full Review The Survivalist (2015) 96% “The result is a hugely confident, mostly absorbing blend of psychodrama and apocalyptic Western. It's claustrophobic, bleakly astringent and not for all tastes -- but it marks Fingleton out as a promising new voice.” – The Big Issue Sep 21, 2023 Full Review The Daughter (2015) 77% “Handling shifts in tone from acutely observed vignettes of small-town life to scenes of tragic ferocity with deft assurance, this is an impressive fully-formed debut from Stone. It's stunningly performed, too, with special mention to Odessa Young.” – The Big Issue Sep 20, 2023 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% “Running at over two hours and 20 minutes, this earnest, dour, Oscar-needy film left me earthbound.” – The Big Issue Oct 11, 2018 Full Review Columbus (2017) 96% “This is a quiet but tremendously accomplished debut that owes a lot to the magisterial subtlety of Japanese director Yasujirô Ozu.” – The Big Issue Oct 4, 2018 Full Review The Gospel According to André (2017) 87% “What gives the film its more lasting poignancy is Talley's discussion of growing up in an African-American community in North Carolina.” – The Big Issue Sep 27, 2018 Full Review The Rider (2017) 97% “This is a film of subtle, unspoken grace notes, an intimate and deeply moving portrait of both Blackburn and the community of which he is part. It is an understated gem of a film, and marks Zhao as a major talent.” – The Big Issue Sep 18, 2018 Full Review The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) 86% “This is a lovely, richly shaded portrait of adolescence in all its shifting moods, shot through with a melancholy sweetness and sly, intoxicating humour.” – The Big Issue Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Cold War (2018) 92% “This is a remarkable achievement - sumptuous, ambitious, intelligent and with a knockout soundtrack.” – The Big Issue Aug 30, 2018 Full Review BlacKkKlansman (2018) 96% “It is galvanising cinema, made with an urgency and anger that leaps from the screen.” – The Big Issue Aug 23, 2018 Full Review The Eyes of Orson Welles (2018) 93% “The Eyes of Orson Welles is terrific, a rich, intelligent, adoring embrace of its subject.” – The Big Issue Aug 17, 2018 Full Review Heathers (1989) 95% “Mostly this is gleeful nastiness crafted with jagged irony and with a captivating performance by Winona Ryder at its centre.” – The Big Issue Aug 15, 2018 Full Review The Apparition (2018) 73% “There's a sense of intrigue here, but Giannoli struggles to sustain our interest.” – The Big Issue Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Generation Wealth (2018) 46% “This is a poignant, insightful and worrying dispatch of the state things today.” – The Big Issue Jul 20, 2018 Full Review In the Fade (2017) 75% “It's not a perfect movie... still there is an unanswerable force to this angry, unblinking depiction of the consequences of far-right violence in Europe today.” – The Big Issue Jul 16, 2018 Full Review First Reformed (2017) 94% “Hawke responds to the demands of the role fearlessly: his is a sombre, powerfully restrained performance, and throughout he wears an expression of clenched gravitas that seems to hold at bay the pain and unrest roiling inside.” – The Big Issue Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Mary Shelley (2018) 41% “Mary Shelley the person was a formidable, inspiring genius. Mary Shelley the film disappoints.” – The Big Issue Jul 10, 2018 Full Review Studio 54: The Documentary (2018) 90% “You have to applaud the steadiness of purpose in Tyrnauer's approach: from the mayhem of the dancefloor he has extracted a...poignant thesis about its significance to the wider culture of the day.” – The Big Issue Jun 15, 2018 Full Review McQueen (2018) 99% “"McQueen" is ultimately a poignant and stirring tribute to the designer.” – The Big Issue Jun 7, 2018 Full Review Double Lover (2017) 70% “Filmed with silky elegance L'Amant Double is outwardly a model of arthouse refinement, but it lurches from one improbable set-up to another like a potboiler written to a midnight deadline.” – The Big Issue Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Zama (2017) 96% “It's a thrillingly layered film, and is perhaps best experienced by surrendering to its intoxicating strangeness.” – The Big Issue Jun 5, 2018 Full Review On Chesil Beach (2017) 67% “On Chesil Beach is an ambitious film, and it largely works thanks to the exquisitely pitched performances of Ronan and Howle.” – The Big Issue May 17, 2018 Full Review Redoubtable (2017) 54% “[Jean Luc] Godard himself called the film "stupid" and I have a hard time disagreeing.” – The Big Issue May 11, 2018 Full Review New Town Utopia (2017) 100% “Unlikely though that sounds, it leaves a rich impression: New Town Utopia is an intelligent, poignant and delicately ambiguous portrait of a place routinely dismissed as a provincial backwater.” – The Big Issue May 5, 2018 Full Review Beast (2017) 92% “This is made with unrestrained panache.” – The Big Issue Apr 27, 2018 Full Review
