Chinatown (1974) 98% 5/5 “It was with Chinatown that Nicholson made the world sit up and notice: he's in every scene of this film and he fills the frame with that heady mixture of knowing charm and explosive energy.” – Screenwize Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Contagion (2011) 85% 4/5 “A high-class ensemble piece, with director Steven Soderbergh reimagining the disaster genre of the 1970s.” – Screenwize Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% 5/5 “It's intense filmmaking that starts slow and messy and accelerates to a mesmerising climax.” – Screenwize Jun 12, 2020 Full Review The Half of It (2020) 97% 4/5 “A warm hearted, funny and really well-crafted movie about two girls, one boy, love letters and the art of romantic texting.” – Screenwize Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Dark Waters (2019) 89% 4/5 “A gripping portrayal of a determined lawyer's battle against corporate greed from inside the belly of the beast.” – Screenwize Mar 7, 2020 Full Review Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) 79% 2/5 “An excessive, frazzled tale of hyper-violence that plays out like Tom & Jerry in the colourful and hazardous world of Gotham City” – Screenwize Mar 6, 2020 Full Review The Professor and the Madman (2019) 39% 3/5 “Although messy, overwrought, and plagued by years of creative and legal dispute, this tale of the making of the Oxford English Dictionary remains engaging thanks to the original story.” – Screenwize Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (2020) 67% 2/5 “A turgid whodunit with some great costumes and a strong cast doing their best with uninspiring material.” – Screenwize Mar 6, 2020 Full Review A Hidden Life (2019) 82% 4/5 “It's a beautiful work, as much about the power of everyday minutiae as it is about the torments of standing up for your beliefs.” – Screenwize Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Bombshell (2019) 68% 4/5 “The fascinating, high-energy and somewhat true tale of how three women brought high-flying Roger Ailes down to earth. Charlize Theron is a stand-out.” – Screenwize Jan 24, 2020 Full Review A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) 95% 4/5 “Director Marielle Heller continues Rogers' vision in this very very McFeeley movie” – Screenwize Jan 24, 2020 Full Review My Spy (2020) 49% 2.5/5 “An enjoyable spy spoof, with the film's opening set up and ambitious finale never as convincing or satisfying as the playful fish-out-of-water shenanigans of the middle act.” – Screenwize Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Jojo Rabbit (2019) 80% 3.5/5 “Pack up your political correctness, hold onto your jaw and enjoy the ride.” – Screenwize Jan 24, 2020 Full Review The Good Liar (2019) 64% 2/5 “What starts as a playful cat and mouse game of deception, rapidly loses its way, morphing into an unbelievable, convoluted and dark tale of revenge.” – Screenwize Dec 12, 2019 Full Review Official Secrets (2019) 82% 3/5 “What could have been either a raw and intimate look at the personal cost of standing up for your principles or a thrilling political drama turns into a dry retelling of events.” – Screenwize Nov 24, 2019 Full Review Ford v Ferrari (2019) 92% 4/5 “A supremely well-balanced combination of corporate rivalry, on-track competitiveness and human drama.” – Screenwize Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Last Christmas (2019) 46% 2/5 “Easily forgettable and highly contrived, the music of George Michael is never used strongly enough to make the film soar.” – Screenwize Nov 10, 2019 Full Review Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) 70% 3/5 “It's mindless fun, overly nostalgic in places and held together with the breathless, non-stop action sequences that made T2 a huge hit.” – Screenwize Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) 40% 2.5/5 “With the overwhelming razzle-dazzle of computer-generated vistas, there's definitely something missing. Fairytales are meant to be whispered, invoking wonder and mystery, even at their darkest. This is shouty and loud.” – Screenwize Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Gemini Man (2019) 27% 2/5 “Whilst there are some heart-pumping action sequences, neither the technology nor the woeful script can save the experience from feeling a little like watching those clips of early flying machines, with plenty of flapping but little elevation.” – Screenwize Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Selma (2014) 99% 3.5/5 “If you don't mind the technical confusion it's a gripping story, and a great credit to DuVernay and co-writer Paul Webb who were unable to use King's original speeches for copyright reasons.” – Sydney Morning Herald Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Gemma Bovery (2014) 54% 2.5/5 “A strangely dull and dated affair, sugar coated by the beauty of the landscape and the beauty of Gemma Arterton.” – Screenwize May 26, 2015 Full Review Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 97% 3.5/5 “A spectacular demolition derby of action that totally overwhelms every other aspect of the film: characters, narrative, emotion and charm flattened in the dust.” – Screenwize May 22, 2015 Full Review Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015) 7% 3/5 “No more than an excuse for James to play out his affable brand of humour - mixing physical slapstick with a verbose running commentary of both grandiose and self-depreciating observations on life and himself.” – Screenwize Apr 22, 2015 Full Review Testament of Youth (2014) 84% 4.5/5 “A cinematic and moving coming-of-age love story, sticky with the personal fallout that comes with news from the trenches.” – Screenwize Apr 22, 2015 Full Review
