Nasty (2024) “Nasty is an infinitely watchable pop doc, but it might have dug a little deeper here and there.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily May 24, 2024 Full Review Caught by the Tides (2024) 97% “Zhao can do so much with her eyes that she holds our attention in spite of her character’s stoicism... Hers is the performance that anchors the film.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily May 20, 2024 Full Review Meeting with Pol Pot (2024) 92% “Rendez-vous avec Pol Pot may not walk totally fresh ground for Panh, but there is real power in one filmmaker’s dedication to re-examining real world horror from many angles over many years.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily May 17, 2024 Full Review Bird (2024) 86% “Arnold knows just how to get under our skin. If we struggle to settle into all this misery to begin with, by the end we’re as invested as we could be. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily May 16, 2024 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% “It is because this story’s truths are so stark that this high-wire work succeeds. Dyrholm holds Dagmar Overbye so precisely that she can reach moments of true pantomime villainy without ever sacrificing her reality. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily May 16, 2024 Full Review Soul (2020) 95% “It's a concrete return to the Pixar of old, full of grand ideas and original execution, and a statement of intent for Docter's steering of the Pixar ship away from endless sequels and back to inventive originals.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Oct 12, 2020 Full Review Nymphomaniac: Volume I (2014) 76% 8.5/10 “Von Trier once more upsets his doubters, by delivering a film that's at turns funny and frank, and that prods and pokes at the line without ever needing to cross it.” – IGN Movies Feb 21, 2014 Full Review That Awkward Moment (2014) 23% “Propagates attitudes that need changing; not because we live in politically correct times, but because they massively underserve the audience the film wants to address.” – FilmFocus Jan 15, 2014 Full Review Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) 92% “Definitive for any artist whose drive to persevere demands a wanton disregard for practical sense” – FilmFocus Jan 14, 2014 Full Review Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus (2013) 84% “A reminder of formative times in our young lives. You want to remain forever with these characters in this wonderful moment. But you know that the moment has passed.” – FilmFocus Jan 10, 2014 Full Review The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 79% “Once the bizarre complaints of the easily offended have died down, I don't doubt that this'll find a place amongst Scorsese's best work.” – FilmFocus Jan 5, 2014 Full Review All Is Lost (2013) 95% “We've seen this story before, but Chandor dares to construct it so far from convention, and, surprisingly, it resonates come closer to home in the process.” – FilmFocus Jan 5, 2014 Full Review Out of the Furnace (2013) 53% “Out of the Furnace feels like a screenplay, so none of it is ever authentic. Perhaps it looked better on paper, but that's certainly where its problems lie.” – FilmFocus Jan 5, 2014 Full Review Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013) 61% “An extraordinary man probably deserved better than an ordinary film.” – FilmFocus Jan 4, 2014 Full Review 1 (2013) “The stories are fascinating, but the interests of non-diehards might not last. Mileage will vary.” – FilmFocus Jan 4, 2014 Full Review 12 Years a Slave (2013) 95% “Solomon's story doesn't need fictionalising to be absolutely devastating, and McQueen tells it straight, trusting its account, and his actors, to make it resonant.” – FilmFocus Jan 4, 2014 Full Review Red (2010) 72% 3/5 “What Red lacks in incomprehensible muscle-bound meatheads it makes up for in humour, story and action.” – Film4 Oct 20, 2010 Full Review South of the Border (2009) 53% 3/5 “Like the best of Stone's narrative fiction, South Of The Border is packed with big characters and epic storytelling. That this is non-fiction makes it all the more gripping.” – Film4 Aug 5, 2010 Full Review Predators (2010) 65% “Predators is something different, a tone altogether absent since the days of the original. That it also stands up as a film of today makes it all the more enjoyable.” – Cinematical Jul 8, 2010 Full Review Toy Story 3 (2010) 98% “If in singing the film's praises one can do no more than follow a familiar hymn sheet, so be it. Like their plastic space ranger, Pixar is a company prepared to reach infinity and beyond, and there's little sense arguing with such lofty ambition.” – Cinematical Jun 17, 2010 Full Review Kaboom (2010) 60% “Funny, sexy and mad, Kaboom may not be vintage Araki, but it's more than worth watching regardless.” – Cinematical May 28, 2010 Full Review You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) 45% “For its light tone and often hilarious humor, the film is sure to entertain, but it won't be remembered as vintage Woody Allen.” – Cinematical May 28, 2010 Full Review Tamara Drewe (2010) 65% “While it's often outrageous, there's always something real to every scene.” – Cinematical May 28, 2010 Full Review Rubber (2010) 67% “A film brimming with comic brilliance and manic originality.” – Cinematical May 28, 2010 Full Review Fair Game (2010) 78% “Doesn't quite live up to [its] promise but ... it's mature, smart and engaging and, critically, strikes a new tone for Liman's work.” – Cinematical May 28, 2010 Full Review
