Machete Kills (2013) 29% “Machete Kills is his nadir. This is Rodriguez finally going off the deep end and creating something that will surely only appeal to you if you also happen to be Robert Rodriguez.” – Vice Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Haywire (2011) 80% 4/5 “This is action cinema for those who like a bit of depth in their violence.” – The Big Issue (Australia) Aug 15, 2017 Full Review West of Memphis (2012) 95% 4/5 “No prior knowledge of the crime is required, and those wanting a proper resolution to the story will not be dissatisfied.” – The Big Issue (Australia) Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Wish I Was Here (2014) 45% “I still hold a soft spot for Garden State, and I like Braff as both an on-screen performer and a filmmaker. As a director, he has a keen eye; it just failed him horribly here.” – Concrete Playground Sep 16, 2014 Full Review The Reckoning (2014) 50% “It is out of time, decades too late to be of any interest, and so desperate to cover up its country of origin that its edges are sanded down into something that is ultimately of zero consequence.” – Concrete Playground Sep 9, 2014 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) 92% “Guardians of the Galaxy is a weird, risky prospect for a studio that's all about relatable humans in recognisable settings. Maybe that's why it works: faced with a tougher sell, they've gone the extra mile to make something special.” – Concrete Playground Aug 4, 2014 Full Review The Selfish Giant (2013) 98% “The Selfish Giant is one of the best films of the year: captivating, often funny, and filled with the most naturalistic performances you're likely to see.” – Concrete Playground Aug 4, 2014 Full Review Any Day Now (2012) 78% “As a weepy and capitalised Important Tale, the film is very good and some moments stir up emotion, but it isn't the film it should be, failing to hit the heights it is so earnestly aiming for.” – Concrete Playground May 4, 2014 Full Review The Raid 2 (2014) 83% “It may be missing the refreshing simplicity of The Raid, but The Raid 2: Berandal is a thrilling film that revives the visceral, tangible hand-on-hand tradition of action cinema. Get past the serpentine plot contortions and you'll have an absolute blast.” – Concrete Playground Mar 25, 2014 Full Review Nymphomaniac: Volume II (2013) 58% “[Lars von Trier] seems terrified of sincerity; every moment that comes dangerously close to a human emotion is immediately undercut with a cynical aside as we cut jarringly back to the 'present-day' story.” – Concrete Playground Mar 25, 2014 Full Review Nymphomaniac: Volume I (2014) 76% “There's a good chance that Nymphomaniac will confirm your preconceived notions of director Lars von Trier. To his detractors, it is further evidence that his idea of provocative cinema is a rote combination of mental illnesses and genital close-ups.” – Concrete Playground Mar 25, 2014 Full Review The Wind Rises (2013) 88% “It's a bold, unapologetic film that is not always completely successful, but there is a confident vision at play, and that is always welcome.” – Concrete Playground Mar 6, 2014 Full Review Tracks (2013) 83% “Tracks is an engaging, beautiful film that overcomes its flaws impressively.” – Concrete Playground Mar 6, 2014 Full Review Runner Runner (2013) 8% “Ultimately, Runner Runner is really just a movie designed to provide some background noise as you update your Facebook.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review In Bob We Trust (2013) “Lynn-Maree Milburn again proves herself a masterful director ... She confidently steps back when the scene demands it but isn't afraid to ramp up the production values when needed.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review How I Live Now (2013) 66% “On the outside, How I Live Now looks like a mess. Part Tomorrow When the War Began, part The Shining, part 28 Days Later, it's a hodgepodge of concepts that don't completely gel. So it's weird that the film is actually quite good.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review The Gilded Cage (2013) 88% “For all the odd cultural references, the film is charming and feelgood and pretty funny. If you've been burned by bad French comedies in recent times, this should certainly help mend those wounds.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Frozen (2013) 89% “Frozen represent the middle of the animation bell curve. It's a far cry from the insufferable pop-culture spewing, catchphrase-ridden films churned out during at the beginning every holiday period, but nor does it hit the heights of Disney's best output.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Philomena (2013) 91% “Be not fooled by the marketing materials, which make the film look like an aged-up version of The Trip with Judi Dench in place of Rob Brydon. Philomena is a terrifically made, entertaining work.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Grudge Match (2013) 31% “Grudge Match is one of those ideas that works as a passing joke rather than an actual film, but the film's brazenness is admirable, and it is possible to have a good time with it. Just make sure your expectations are suitably lowered first.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013) 61% “This film is only superficially illuminating, briefly informative; the drama is only mildly engaging, the imprisonment distantly horrific. It insists upon keeping us at an arm's length for its not inconsiderable running time.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review RoboCop (2014) 50% “This remake of the science fiction classic is definitely on the right track with its approach to social commentary, but doesn't stick the landing enough for it to work.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Nebraska (2013) 90% “There's a joyful tension that infuses every moment and makes this one of the most compelling, memorable, essential films of the year.” – Concrete Playground Feb 28, 2014 Full Review
