The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% 4/5 “Ultimately, The Seed of the Sacred Fig is not really about the rights and wrongs of individuals. It’s a direct attack on a corrupt and oppressive regime that strangles its people, just like the ficus religiosa of the title.” – The Skinny Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% 4/5 “Her entire posture is like a clenched fist, closed off and ready to fight the world, but [Marianne] Jean-Baptiste's astonishingly vivid performance makes us see how her belligerence is rooted in her pain.” – The Skinny Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Soundtrack to a Coup d'État (2024) 97% 4/5 “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat is a dense and meticulously constructed picture. ” – Little White Lies Jan 21, 2025 Full Review The Crime Is Mine (2023) 98% 3/5 “The film is comprehensively hijacked in its final third by Isabelle Huppert. She blasts into the picture in full-on diva mode as a grand dame of the silent era now eyeing her chance at a comeback, delivering an outrageously hammy performance.” – The Skinny Oct 14, 2024 Full Review In Camera (2023) 100% 3/5 “The film is at its best when Khalid lets us sit in a discomfiting moment... In Camera doesn’t always hang together, but when it snaps into focus it’s an audacious and exciting picture to experience.” – The Skinny Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Close Your Eyes (2023) 93% 5/5 “Close Your Eyes is driven by a sincere belief in cinema’s power to awaken something within us.” – The Skinny Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World (2023) 97% 5/5 “Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World is frequently an exhilarating and hilarious experience, but the feeling that lingers afterwards is one of emptiness and despair.” – The Skinny Mar 5, 2024 Full Review You Hurt My Feelings (2023) 94% 4/5 “Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Beth’s sense of betrayal beautifully – it’s hilarious, but rooted in real pain. It again makes you wonder why she hasn’t had more opportunities to carry a film.” – The Skinny Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% 3/5 “Before she hits the road, being in Barbie Land is just as pleasurable for the viewer as it is for these toys. The depiction of this world is a triumph of imaginative design and skilful craftsmanship.” – The Skinny Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Tori and Lokita (2022) 87% 4/5 “Humane and heart-breaking.” – Little White Lies Dec 1, 2022 Full Review The Innocents (2021) 97% 4/5 “Vogt takes his time unfolding <i>The Innocents</i> and his pacing could be described as too deliberate, but his chilly, mysterious picture exerts an irresistible grip.” – The Skinny Jul 21, 2022 Full Review The Worst Person in the World (2021) 96% 5/5 “While Trier’s film is frequently dynamic and funny, a wistfulness emerges in the second half as the characters contemplate lost time and missed chances.” – The Skinny Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% 4/5 “As in Madeline's Madeline, Josephine Decker probes at the point where artistic inspiration and exploitation meet.” – The Skinny Oct 26, 2020 Full Review 1917 (2019) 88% 6 “It's difficult to fully invest in the drama when you're constantly being prompted to think about the mind-boggling logistics behind the filmmaking.” – Sight & Sound Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Motherless Brooklyn (2019) 65% 2/5 “As a piece of storytelling Motherless Brooklyn just feels so lifeless, with any real sense of danger and excitement seeping out of the picture.” – The Skinny Dec 4, 2019 Full Review By the Grace of God (2018) 96% 3/5 “Not Ozon's most assured piece of storytelling, but a hard film to shake.” – Little White Lies Oct 25, 2019 Full Review The Souvenir (2019) 90% 5/5 “Often painfully intimate... The Souvenir is the kind of film you don't want to end.” – The Skinny Aug 21, 2019 Full Review In Fabric (2018) 92% 4/5 “Strickland's elegant style and exacting attention to detail holds it all together, creating a campy, unsettling and intoxicating environment full of eccentric characters.” – The Skinny Jun 26, 2019 Full Review Apollo 11 (2019) 99% 4/5 “A riveting and awe-inspiring tribute to one of mankind's great achievements.” – Little White Lies Jun 26, 2019 Full Review Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story (2018) 96% 3/5 “A charming tribute, even if it doesn't quite get inside the head inside the head.” – Little White Lies Mar 25, 2019 Full Review I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians (2018) 92% 4/5 “A potent argument for truth in art, and a provocative challenge for all nations to reckon honestly with their own history.” – The Skinny Feb 20, 2019 Full Review Styx (2018) 93% 4/5 “One of the most compelling cinematic attempts to tackle the ongoing migrant crisis.” – The Skinny Feb 20, 2019 Full Review If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% 5/5 “It's impossible to imagine a film better capturing the romantic, yearning, angry, incisive tones of James Baldwin's voice.” – The Skinny Feb 6, 2019 Full Review The House That Jack Built (2018) 59% 4/5 “Another audacious and nakedly personal self-examination from a fascinating artist” – The Skinny Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Roma (2018) 96% 2/5 “Roma is more impressive as a feat of crowd control than as a piece of visual storytelling or as a character study; it's a film that's easier to admire than to fall in love with.” – The Skinny Dec 12, 2018 Full Review
