The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% “Here is a rich stew of mismatched expectations, spanning boundaries of nationality, generations and sexual preference, into which laughter, surprise, generosity and unexpected moments of pain have been skillfully blended.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% “You are still left with something fairly meaningless, although it's a pretty enough tale of racial reconciliation. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% “It is vividly characterised, stunningly designed and animated with brilliant bravura. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 16, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% “Only the terminally misanthropic will feel any discomfort in allowing this sparkling wave of a film to wash them away.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% “At times the film seems like a gigantic peepshow; a delirious magic lantern display... Given this hectic profusion, it is scarcely surprising that the film should also contain some thunderous misjudgments. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 26, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% “A richly satisfying and thoroughly delightful film. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% “The result is a nimble sweet-tempered, joyous reconciliation of modern female aspirations with traditional roles. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Bandit Queen (1994) 96% “Much more than a docudrama, Kapur's uncompromising film spares the viewer very little. Yet it is the opposite of exploitative.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 2, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% “Anyone who buys the denouement would surely believe almost anything.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Funny Man (1994) - - “Sadly, the result is a puerile mess, which succeeds in its aim of being gratuitously gory and offensive while failing to generate a single moment of suspense.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Mina Tannenbaum (1993) - - “The early sequences are deliciously fresh and funny... Dugowson's ideas are wonderfully inventive.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 1, 2024 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% “The film has an air of hollow grandeur. The music and songs are mostly pretty awful, the story single-stranded, and Scar's evil hyena henchmen hard to tell apart. Worst of all, the lions often look not so much noble as smug.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% “More of interest for what it says about how Americans wish to regard themselves than for its qualities as comedy or drama. Movies can be a magic mirror, and America has been mightily pleased with what it has seen in this tricksy bit of silvered glass.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) 92% “It has just the right mix of the romantic and the risqué, the witty and the wistful, glossed with a sheen of pure class.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Waiting to Exhale (1995) 56% “It comes across as a bland buppie soap opera, with scant storyline outside the shortcomings of a series of more or less useless, unattractive, unreliable or married men.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Maybe... Maybe Not (1994) 45% “Some mildly funny jokes about the sexual confusions of that Seventies throwback, the men's group, lumber on into a fleshy farce that never entirely escapes the ponderous impress of Teutonic heaviness.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 20, 2023 Full Review The Flower of My Secret (1995) 86% “Though unlikely to gain the blessing of the Pope, the conversion of Pedro Almodóvar from romper-room decadence to something akin to adult drama may strike many as little short of miraculous.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Sabrina (1995) 61% “The original was titled Sabrina Fair: now meet Sabrina Middling-To-Downright-Dull.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Heat (1995) 84% “This is a movie with the makings of a classic -- a tough criminal yarn which has the muscular intelligence of a Howard Hawks picture, updated through the greater depth and weight accorded to its female characters.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 20, 2023 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% “As prime a piece of period escapism as Hollywood has produced in many a moon. What's interesting is the way Mann and his co-writer, Christopher Crowe, have reshaped the myth to contemporary needs.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% “Slapstick always flirts with sadism in this film, one is left with a nasty suspicion that is may have overstepped the mark. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 94% “Like any decent anthropologist, Scorsese does not impose judgments. The casual amorality of the wise guys may be disturbing, but the director's skill is to demonstrate convincingly the heady attractions of a life where money is everything. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 18, 2023 Full Review When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) 69% “When a Man Loves a Woman is an earnest, well-meaning and mostly well-acted study of middle-class alcoholism centred less on the descent into the hell of addiction than on the part played by family ties on the faltering path to recovery.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 31, 2023 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% “Writer-director Ron Shelton's White Men Can't Jump is a spring-heeled, very funny urban comedy full of fancy footwork and fast talk. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 30, 2023 Full Review The Killer (1989) 95% “While there is no doubting the technical sophistication of Woo's hyper-kinetic massacres... the most notable aspect of [the film] is the award mix of tongue-in-cheek kitsch and lumbering, macho, male-bonding earnestness in between.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 27, 2023 Full Review
