What Richard Did (2012) 91% “In lesser hands, What Richard Did could have been a judgmental mess. Instead, it's a measured human drama set in a Dublin rarely seen on screen.” – The Herald (Ireland) Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Selma (2014) 99% 4/5 “What Selma does particularly well is balance the ideological in-fighting within the Civil Rights movement.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 4, 2018 Full Review The Imitation Game (2014) 90% 4/5 “The Imitation Game is a classic 'race against time' tale with the added intrigue of how the authorities would deign to use the information they had once Enigma had been cracked.” – The Herald (Ireland) Nov 15, 2016 Full Review It Follows (2014) 95% 4/5 “Last year's brilliant The Babadook set a new bar for horror movies this decade and yet, six months later, that mark has been reached by It Follows.” – The Herald (Ireland) Jun 13, 2016 Full Review Penguins of Madagascar (2014) 74% 4/5 “Thoroughly enjoyable and unreservedly recommended.” – The Herald (Ireland) Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Hercules (2014) 58% 3/5 “While the action sequences are decently staged, they would have been much better if I'd actually been able to see them, the film being shot in a gloomy murk which 3D does absolutely nothing to help.” – The Herald (Ireland) Jun 7, 2016 Full Review Boyhood (2014) 97% 5/5 “Honestly, Boyhood is Richard Linklater's masterpiece and easily the best film of the year so far. Do not miss it.” – The Herald (Ireland) Jun 7, 2016 Full Review Interstellar (2014) 73% 3/5 “Perhaps it would have been wiser to trim back on several of the ideas and present a more cohesive, not to mention coherent, story.” – The Herald (Ireland) Jun 6, 2016 Full Review The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) 59% 3/5 “It's too long, too dreary, unnecessarily convoluted and while a technical marvel it simply doesn't engage the emotions at all.” – The Herald (Ireland) Jun 1, 2016 Full Review Son of a Gun (2014) 63% 3/5 “It's done extremely well and with a great deal of verve.” – The Herald (Ireland) Apr 13, 2015 Full Review Black Sea (2014) 81% “Law does a great job as the resourceful and relentless Robinson.” – The Herald (Ireland) Dec 5, 2014 Full Review Serena (2014) 17% 2/5 “Something appears to have gone badly wrong with Suzanne Bier's adaptation of Ron Rash's acclaimed novel of love and corruption in the South Carolina of the late 1920s.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 24, 2014 Full Review Love, Rosie (2014) 32% 2/5 “If you've seen the trailer for this adaptation of Cecelia Ahern's second novel then you probably needn't bother forking out for a ticket as they more or less signpost just how the story pans out.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 24, 2014 Full Review The Babadook (2014) 98% 4/5 “What's been delivered here is a potent brew of psychological terror mixed with a genuinely spooky story, making The Babadook easily the best horror movie of recent years.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 24, 2014 Full Review Jimi: All Is by My Side (2013) 64% 2/5 “Unfortunately, for all Benjamin's fine work All is By My Side is one long string of such cliches and counts as a major disappointment.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 24, 2014 Full Review The Judge (2014) 49% 2/5 “A Robert Downey Jr vehicle which doesn't involve genius industrialists or Victorian detectives would certainly be welcome but, alas, The Judge fails to convince and drifts into sentimental schlock in the final third.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) 21% 1/5 “An exercise in product-placement so blatant it makes the last Transformer outing seem subtle by comparison.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Palo Alto (2013) 70% 2/5 “Palo Alto is as fuzzy, scattered and aimless as its protagonists' lives.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Northern Soul (2014) 78% 3/5 “The music is fantastic (well, it'd have to be) and just about manages to cover up the film's many flaws.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 17, 2014 Full Review The Calling (2014) 55% 3/5 “All in all, a solid if rather daft film.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 10, 2014 Full Review '71 (2014) 96% 4/5 “'71 gives us just enough background detail and hints about the complexities of the conflict while still keeping an eye on what is essentially a 'behind enemy lines' story.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Gold (2014) 67% 2/5 “Worthy if ultimately disappointing.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Annabelle (2014) 28% 3/5 “Annabelle works reasonably well in the first half, building up a nice sense of impending dread. It borrows heavily from Rosemary's Baby before turning to a by-the-numbers litany of standard shock tactics.” – The Herald (Ireland) Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Maps to the Stars (2014) 62% 4/5 “Hollywood, with all its surface chumminess and lingering, murderous hatreds, provides an ideal backdrop for Bruce Wagner's scabrous screenplay, and Cronenberg tackles the subject with an almost gleeful relish.” – The Herald (Ireland) Sep 26, 2014 Full Review What We Did on Our Holiday (2014) 75% 3/5 “There's a lovely loose feel to What We Did on Our Holiday, partly down to the fact that while the adult characters have tightly scripted dialogue the child actors were allowed a good deal of leeway.” – The Herald (Ireland) Sep 26, 2014 Full Review
