At Eternity's Gate (2018)
79%
“What is brand new in the film is the director's creative ability to make use of the letters and other documented facts to take us into the kind of magic relationship which the painter shared with his paintings.” –

The Hurt Locker (2008)
96%
4/5
“In some ways, The Hurt Locker defies the conventional narrative pattern of cinema. Bigelow's work must be seen as a power-packed punch that lands right on your face.” –

Crime 23 (2017)
4/5
“In spite of these weaknesses, I would still go with four stars, because Kuttram 23 is brilliantly scripted and directed - and of course ably acted out by especially Vijay.” –

Yeman (2017)
1/5
“If writer Shankar's motive was to highlight the filth in the Indian political system with its share of treachery and corruption... the movie looks awfully exaggerated and unrealistic.” –

Enakku Vaaitha Adimaigal (2016)
1/5
“The plot is not novel, the script is shoddy and, in the end, Enakku Vaaitha Adimaigal, seems like a hurriedly assembled piece of work.” –

The Spark (2016)
2.5/5
“There is little novelty in a plot that only appears rehashed (probably for the nth time) with some annoying and ethically questionable police methodology.” –

4/5
“For a serious viewer of cinema, Visaaranai is a great work whose imagery will provoke him or her to mull over all that is seriously wrong with our country.” –

Baahubali: The Beginning (2015)
91%
2/5
“Baahubali, despite its epic dimensions -- with a tendency to copy larger-than-life Hollywood heroic tales like Ben-Hur and Troy -- fails at some level to draw us into the narrative.” –

4/5
“One of the nicest aspects about Jeethu Joseph's Papanasam in Tamil is the return of Kamal Haasan as we all once knew him, the great master actor.” –

Endhiran (2010)

2/5
“Not quite happy with the message that the movie was trying to drive, the script entrusts Rajnikanth with a courtroom appearance, where he delivers a sermon on how science can be used and misused.” –
