Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “It would be churlish to deny the fun (weasel word) or the potency of this cheap fantasy, from the gloriously corny pomp of John Williams's score to the asthmatic menace of James Earl Jones's voice for Darth Vader.” – Independent on Sunday Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% “The comedy that follows is often more spectacular than funny, though Betelgeuse himself is a beguiling slob in the John Belushi mode. ” – Independent (UK) Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% “Plot wise, Lone Star makes you feel warily optimistic about American Society, as an artifact, it leaves you with a similarly guarded optimism about American cinema. ” – Independent (UK) Aug 23, 2023 Full Review I Like It Like That (1994) 89% “From its wittily choreographed opening shot onwards, the film crackles with unforced comedy and invention.” – Independent (UK) Mar 2, 2022 Full Review Immortal Beloved (1994) 58% “Kitsch, yes, but weirdly transporting. And the score is wonderful.” – Independent (UK) May 23, 2019 Full Review Eden Valley (1994) “The first half-hour or so is muddy going, but the humane interest of the narrative gradually comes into sync with the morose style.” – Independent (UK) May 23, 2019 Full Review I.Q. (1994) 47% “In the last analysis, it's just not clever enough.” – Independent (UK) May 23, 2019 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% “By and large it's immensely well done.” – Independent (UK) May 23, 2019 Full Review Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) 37% “Though the idea of pitting ancient European evil against modern Californian idiocy at the script conferences must have screamed High Concept, the result is pitiful.” – Independent (UK) Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Space Jam (1996) 43% “Space Jam is so obviously a work of the marketing/demographic-hunting mentality that it's rather surprising to find that the brazen creature gathers a certain charm as it rolls along.” – Independent on Sunday Mar 22, 2019 Full Review The First Wives Club (1996) 50% “[I]f you're expecting any savour of fin de siecle feminism more bracing than that peddled in, say, Nine to Five (which has much the same fundamental revenge premise), you'd be better off perusing the writings of Gloria Steinem.” – Independent on Sunday Jan 9, 2019 Full Review The Crucible (1996) 71% “A competent, uncontroversial, rather shouty version of a play which is now safely canonical and, if the philistinism may be forgiven, less remarkable than it once seemed, when dramas of the liberal conscience had an urgent edge.” – Independent on Sunday Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Mars Attacks! (1996) 55% “A giddy mixture of the gross and the trashily poetic, it's hopelessly undisciplined, and will plunder giggles wherever it can find them; at its best, it can make you yelp with laughter.” – Independent on Sunday Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Bound (1996) 87% “Brutal, flashily directed and pretty much meretricious.” – Independent on Sunday Dec 5, 2018 Full Review The Straight Story (1999) 95% “On the whole, though, this is a film made by David Lynch the sometime Eagle Scout from Missoula, Montana, not David Lynch the inspired sicko behind Blue Velvet and Eraserhead.” – Sight & Sound Jun 18, 2012 Full Review One From the Heart (1982) 50% “At times the project seems in danger of being scuppered by its own lavishness; the saving grace is a light heart.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review American Beauty (1999) 87% “Time and again, you fear Mendes won't be able to sustain such a confident shuffling of his pack, but somehow he does, and for once the result is a genuine surprise.” – Sight & Sound Dec 2, 2002 Full Review Bringing Out the Dead (1999) 74% “A very different and, in many respects, very impressive film.” – Sight & Sound Dec 2, 2002 Full Review O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) 79% “Simply, O Brother, Where Art Thou? has one of the richest and most satisfying soundtracks I've heard in years.” – Sight & Sound Apr 13, 2001 Full Review The Portrait of a Lady (1996) 47% “The Portrait of a Lady is a serious, not to say solemn piece of work by a director of uncommon talent, and it disappoints in the way that only such ambitious work can.” – Independent on Sunday Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
