Withnail and I (1987) 83% “If the film belongs to anyone, it is Richard E. Grant, who takes the dissolute and mannered character of Withnail and creates a Wildean creature of tragi-comic proportions, the like of which has not been seen in a British film for some time.” – London Evening Standard Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% “At the risk of being called a sick son of a bitch, I believe it to be one of the most extraordinarily erotic and mesmerising experiences I have ever had in the cinema. Blue Velvet has the power to unsettle and disturb like nothing else.” – London Evening Standard Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% “The script is one of the most intelligent ever produced by Disney, encompassing many themes unusually bold for the studio. ” – London Evening Standard Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% “A little too heavy on the irony, a little too light on emotional weight, Pocahontas is, it grieves me to say, a bit of a bore.” – London Evening Standard Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% “Beauty and the Beast arrives with a cartload of promises that it is a return to the great days of Disney, the art of animation, blah blah. It delivers in spades.” – London Evening Standard Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% “Twister outdoes Jurassic Park in its lack of narrative momentum, its incoherent logic, and its utter contempt for characterisation. ” – London Evening Standard Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% “This is a mildly diverting exercise, played out with a heavily theatrical sense of balance, which has little to say about the human condition but says it in an engaging manner. ” – London Evening Standard May 1, 2024 Full Review Scoop (2024) 76% 4/5 “Scoop is an embarrassment of performance riches led by Piper’s spirited single mother and the duelling double act of Anderson and a prosthetic-embellished Sewell...” – Daily Express (UK) Apr 5, 2024 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% “It's an erratically enjoyable movie, at its best in the spirited exchanges between the players and the games themselves, but the plotting is primitive and the inconclusive ending somehow unsatisfactory. ” – London Evening Standard Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% 3/5 “His [Sayles] control of the environment, theme, plot and character is deft and assured, relying as it does on a self-penned script of admirable ambition. ” – London Evening Standard Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% “Perhaps the most extraordinary achievement is to make the biggest monster the planet has ever seen hardly register at all on screen.” – London Evening Standard Feb 14, 2023 Full Review A Dry White Season (1989) 82% “The script by Palcy and Colin Welland is literate and accessible, the camerawork fluid and the genre switch from downbeat human drama to thriller almost imperceptible. Yet Palcy’s film remains strangely unsatisfying.” – London Evening Standard Jan 3, 2023 Full Review Dances With Wolves (1990) 87% “A conservationist Western? An eco-Westem? Dances with Wolves wears its New Age labels with casual pride and, more importantly, rises above them.” – London Evening Standard Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Addams Family Values (1993) 75% “Everything is in place for the sequel to the Addams Family to proceed as another catalogue of subversion of American family values. But something has gone wrong. Anti-Wasp it is; funny it isn’t.” – London Evening Standard Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Wyatt Earp (1994) 31% “Leone, Eastwood, and Peckinpah have shown us how flexible the western form can be. But if it cannot evolve further than this, it may be time finally to admit that the genre has had it.” – London Evening Standard Dec 22, 2021 Full Review L.A. Confidential (1997) 99% “A sterling cast, a meaty script, high production values and a confident hand at the tiller. It all adds up to a piece of rock-solid entertainment with a body and a brain to match. Who could ask for anything more?” – London Evening Standard Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Bright Young Things (2003) 66% “Fry's dialogue is terrific and interlaces with Waugh's own wit seamlessly.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2018 Full Review Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Diary (2002) 88% “Guy Maddin's unusual take on Bram Stoker's story sets members of Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet against the director's version of a silent movie. The result is a hauntingly graceful vision of the late-Gothic novel, peppered with high camp.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2018 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) 98% “Lewis Milestone's groundbreaking war film is up with La Grande Illusion as one of the finest humanitarian antiwar movies ever made.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2018 Full Review Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary (2002) 86% “After a silence of nearly 60 years, Junge describes with great clarity the circumstances of her employment and the daily business of Hitler's reign, up to and including the last days in the bunker.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2018 Full Review Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) 41% “The movie is constructed not so much of scenes, but of the poses that Charlie's Voguers throw as they preen and pout their way through a series of pop videos.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2018 Full Review Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2002) 83% “Filmed performances, archive footage, and some evocative reminiscences from legendary singers and actors such as Miriam Makeba, Vusi Mahlasela and Sibongile Khumalo bring the period back to life.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2018 Full Review Raising Victor Vargas (2002) 96% “Peter Sollett's remarkable movie about the lives and loves of Latino teenagers in New York's Lower East Side is an unexpected treat.” – London Evening Standard Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Le Divorce (2003) 35% “The tone veers capriciously from sophisticated comedy to broad farce and melodrama, with too many digressions for it to be more than fitfully amusing.” – London Evening Standard Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) 66% “A succession of set pieces, however vivid and colourful will not alone make a coherent movie. And this is far from coherent. Colourful, but nuts.” – London Evening Standard Jan 11, 2018 Full Review
