Spencer (2021) 83% 4/5 “Larraín again offers an impression of a famous public figure at a time of significant trauma, and is ingeniously able to project over the admittedly fascinating political tale an even more moving existential one.” – Patrick Nabarro Mar 26, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% 3/5 “Although Matt Reeves does make attempts to inflect the tired subject matter with some virtuosity, the universe's over-familiarity and essential stodginess overrides any novelty, to my mind, at least.” – Patrick Nabarro Mar 26, 2022 Full Review The Power of the Dog (2021) 94% 3/5 “It is a playful thesis if nothing else, but its rhetorical obviousness does drain the film of some subtlety in its second half.” – Patrick Nabarro Mar 26, 2022 Full Review Death on the Nile (2022) 62% 2/5 “Blandly handsome, and unmemorable and lacking any sense of play or innovation, Kenneth Branagh's second big screen stab at the character of Poirot, Death on the Nile, wont linger long in the memory.” – Patrick Nabarro Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Zulu (1964) 97% 3/5 “Zulu stands the test of time by uncannily understanding itself as something of a chamber piece and by making atmosphere and suspense the centrepiece of its narrative rather than just the gratification of combat.” – Patrick Nabarro Feb 19, 2022 Full Review Downton Abbey (2019) 84% 3/5 “As with the 온라인카지노추천 series, the two Toms are the most interesting characters and get the best storylines. Probably the film's most moving subplot is in giving the necessarily-closeted gay butler, Thomas, a first requited moment of affection with another man.” – Patrick Nabarro Feb 19, 2022 Full Review West Side Story (2021) 91% 2/5 “It's hard to see what attracted Spielberg to the project, and, thus, what he was trying to project to his audience.” – Patrick Nabarro Feb 19, 2022 Full Review Hannibal Rising (2007) 16% 1/5 “Hannibal Rising? More like Hannibal Risible in this truly infantile film that conceives of Hannibal Lector as a superhero in his own origin flick. This tacky, hackneyed idea finds a tacky and hackneyed grammar to boot. ” – Patrick Nabarro Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% 3/5 “Even if its fantasy subject matter devolves too neatly into a genre framework, it is still a pleasurable piece of craftsmanship from del Toro.” – Patrick Nabarro Feb 12, 2022 Full Review The Souvenir (2019) 90% 3/5 “It functions as a memoir, and Hogg's watchful and elliptical sensibility works beautifully in documenting how those memories are coloured by the senses as much as they are by clearly determined junctures in time and narrative. ” – Patrick Nabarro Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Two Weeks Notice (2002) 43% 1/5 “Its utter prototypicality is tiresome, and its weird plotting and characterisation preclude it from gaining the simplified happy ending it proposes it has arrived at.” – Patrick Nabarro Feb 12, 2022 Full Review The Unforgivable (2021) 38% 2/5 “It defaults to the worst form of rote storytelling: countless scenes of characters ventriloquising the film's morals and themes, and staggeringly clichéd use of flashbacks.” – One Room With A View Dec 21, 2021 Full Review La jetée (1962) 90% 4/5 “The images of experimentation loop around and repeat themselves, exemplifying an idea of temporality and the dissonance of trying to re-write time or solve a narrative puzzle.” – Patrick Nabarro Dec 6, 2021 Full Review Frozen II (2019) 77% 3/5 “Reminded me of an old adage that women have larger colour vocabularies and a greater sensibility for colour than (most) men, and that feeling certainly transmits here.” – Patrick Nabarro Dec 5, 2021 Full Review Mustang (2015) 97% 3/5 “Though somewhat didactic in its attempt to highlight the malignancy of a certain type of Turkish patriarchy, Mustang's sheer gusto carries its message with unmistakable force.” – Patrick Nabarro Nov 15, 2021 Full Review Ronaldo (2015) 13% 2/5 “This otherwise sterile example of the hagiographical sports documentary is redeemed by its inadvertent exposé of just how bland and narcissistic Cristiano Ronaldo's life is.” – Patrick Nabarro Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Ammonite (2020) 70% 3/5 “It echoes the narrative concept of Lee's debut film, God's Own Country, and, as with that film, Ammonite is very much a swirl of atmosphere, subtext and repressed emotions.” – Patrick Nabarro Nov 12, 2021 Full Review No Time to Die (2021) 83% 3/5 “Has one of the weakest villains and conspiracies in the history of the Bond saga. Rami Malek simply isn't a good enough actor to draw you into his character's psychopathology.” – Patrick Nabarro Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Halloween (1978) 97% 4/5 “The best moments of Halloween take their lead from its exemplary opening: that iconically spare musical score-cum-leitmotif, and the film's slippery command of perspective.” – Patrick Nabarro Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Moon (2009) 90% 4/5 “It falls very much in the lineage of earlier sci-fi classics, but still provides enough virtuosity and individuality to make it somewhat novel.” – Patrick Nabarro Nov 5, 2021 Full Review The Artist (2011) 95% 3/5 “Hazanavicius deserves credit for making his thesis on silent movies so digestible and entertaining, and there is much to engage with in The Artist.” – Patrick Nabarro Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Red Dragon (2002) 69% 2/5 “Gets wrong and flattens out into a mainstream, homogenous smudge all the distinctive elements of Jonathan Demme's iconic 1991 work, The Silence of the Lambs.” – Patrick Nabarro Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Practical Magic (1998) 26% 2/5 “The film is so twee and polite that it almost passes by without any palpable register of emotion, tension or surprise.” – Patrick Nabarro Oct 25, 2021 Full Review A Rainy Day in New York (2019) 47% 2/5 “Yet another example of Woody Allen's stratospheric obsolescence from anything that could be considered remotely zeitgeisty or vital.” – Patrick Nabarro Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Oliver Twist (2005) 61% 3/5 “A shame so little time is spent on the mystery of Oliver's identity that hugely accentuates the pathos for his character.” – Patrick Nabarro Jul 16, 2021 Full Review
