The Possibilities Are Endless (2014) 94% 4/5 “The film really is a love story, and an inspiring, hopeful one at that.” – The List Nov 3, 2014 Full Review Castles In The Sky (2014) 67% 2/5 “Although Watson Watt's project is always in danger of being axed, the film lacks credible tension.” – The List Jun 23, 2014 Full Review Stations of the Cross (2014) 93% 4/5 “While the scenes are evidently precisely choreographed, they also feel entirely naturalistic, like we are simply observing life.” – The List Jun 20, 2014 Full Review Hide & Seek (2014) 40% 2/5 “While the film's simple and intriguing premise is ripe for that kind of approach, the filmmakers fail to get their teeth into any of it.” – The List Jun 20, 2014 Full Review Palo Alto (2013) 70% 2/5 “A simplistic and overly-familiar take on teenage existence, with all the adults portrayed as either clueless or subtly abusive, leaving the world-weary kids to struggle unaided with the harsh realities of life.” – The List Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Chinese Puzzle (2013) 79% 3/5 “Xavier pauses to ask a lot of big questions, but the farcical turns of plot undermine any serious attempts to suggest answers.” – The List Jun 4, 2014 Full Review Half of a Yellow Sun (2013) 50% 2/5 “Despite strong performances and plenty of incident, writer and director Biyi Bandele fails to establish the narrative's wider national and political context, and the film is ultimately insubstantial as a result.” – The List Apr 9, 2014 Full Review The Past (2013) 92% 4/5 “With this quietly gripping domestic drama, Asghar Farhadi once again demonstrates his ability to turn keen human insight into powerfully compelling cinema.” – The List Mar 13, 2014 Full Review 20 Feet From Stardom (2013) 99% 4/5 “, Morgan Neville's soul-stirring celebration of backing vocalists is a bona fide crowd-pleaser with substance to match.” – The List Mar 13, 2014 Full Review The Lunchbox (2013) 97% 4/5 “This warm and funny Indian film takes a set-up worthy of the great romantic comedies of Hollywood's golden era and develops it into a touching story of connection, with echoes of Lost in Translation in its tone and characterisation.” – The List Mar 3, 2014 Full Review The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (2013) 68% 4/5 “This is a rare incidence of a film adaptation that is much more successful than its source, as director Felix Herngren gets the balance of callously dark humour and playful, silly storytelling just right.” – The List Feb 27, 2014 Full Review A Long Way Down (2014) 22% 3/5 “After a prolonged spell of lifelessness the story unexpectedly develops a beating heart around the halfway point, and concludes as a touching depiction of unlikely friendship and mutual support.” – The List Feb 27, 2014 Full Review Under the Skin (2013) 83% 5/5 “A genuinely unique, full-on sensory experience that treads its own path between narrative clarity and pure visual expression. It is a film that will leave audiences dazed, disturbed and full of questions about what they have experienced.” – The List Feb 14, 2014 Full Review The LEGO Movie (2014) 96% 3/5 “Fast, funny and created with loving attention to detail, The Lego Movie will delight anyone who has ever played with those universally-recognised little yellow figures.” – The List Feb 11, 2014 Full Review Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) 81% 2/5 “It rather puts things into perspective to note that 20 years ago this film's director Rob Minkoff raised the bar for animated storytelling as co-director of The Lion King. How times have changed.” – The List Feb 4, 2014 Full Review Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus (2013) 84% 2/5 “Silva fails to cook up anything more than unfulfilled potential in this half-baked movie.” – The List Jan 22, 2014 Full Review The Patience Stone (2012) 84% 4/5 “As it progresses the woman's story is paralleled with several religious myths and it builds to a conclusion that is terrifying, far-fetched and powerfully-realised. The final moments resonate with a mythic quality.” – The List Dec 11, 2013 Full Review The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) 52% 3/5 “Surprisingly for such a big-budget spectacle, it is in the details that Walter Mitty really works.” – The List Dec 9, 2013 Full Review Kill Your Darlings (2013) 77% 3/5 “Radcliffe is well-cast as Ginsberg, suggesting a burgeoning creativity at odds with his self-conscious exterior.” – The List Nov 5, 2013 Full Review The Lebanese Rocket Society (2012) 67% 3/5 “The filmmakers end strongly, with the thought that cinema is a place where dreaming is still possible, even in relation to their beloved and troubled Lebanon.” – The List Oct 8, 2013 Full Review Emperor (2012) 31% 2/5 “Webber brings the politics and intrigue to the fore in a gripping final act, but the overall impression is that a fascinating story from history has been lost in the telling.” – The List Sep 30, 2013 Full Review In a World ... (2013) 92% 2/5 “Disappointingly less than the sum of its parts.” – The List Sep 11, 2013 Full Review The Artist and the Model (2012) 71% 3/5 “The story has meaty concerns - the artist's quest for inspiration, the place of art in a world at war - but its leisurely pace too often feels like padding.” – The List Sep 11, 2013 Full Review Thanks for Sharing (2012) 50% 3/5 “This is a flawed debut for director Stuart Blumberg, but one of admirable honesty, kept afloat by some very fine performances.” – The List Sep 5, 2013 Full Review Jadoo (2013) 58% 3/5 “Jadoo lacks the great writing of classic food movies like Big Night or Babette's Feast, but it is a warm and likeable addition to the genre.” – The List Sep 3, 2013 Full Review
