“While the narrative...is a hit-and-miss affair, Abrams does succeed in giving depth to the film's complex, swarming cluster of personal relationships.” –

Home (2008)

4/5
“Sometimes eerie, at other times playful and witty, it explores themes of modernity and primitivism without ever being heavy-handed. And as a portrait of a family under siege, it's as unsettling as it is sensual.” –

“In [Adam] Beach's excellent performance, he ages quickly, descends into the isolation not just of a shell-shocked veteran who has witness the atrocious heart of modern warfare.” –

“The film is strewn with casual poetry. Its colors, often blue and green, are muted and weak, like a tear-spattered love letter. ” –

The Leather Boys (1963)

“What the film gets spot on is milieu. Its London streets are monotonous brick barracks. The houses reek of boiled potatoes, unwashed curtains, endless resentment. What hungry soul wouldn't want to flee? Or hear the engines of motorbikes as siren calls?” –

White Riot (2019)

“It's a tribute to the fire and ferment of Rock Against Racism, and to Shah's infectious passion for her subject, that White Riot feels at least half an hour too short.” –

The Report (2019)

“For a political thriller, The Report is more sad than revelatory, more melancholy than cathartic. Jones's work was not entirely in vain. His revelations of a cover-up, though heavily doctored, eventually were made public.” –

Happy Feet (2006)

“Miller ensures that a conceit - dancing penguins! - that might have seemed best left to the jokey attachments that clog up email inboxes is supple enough to carry a sardonic parable about the hypocrisy of Western consumers.” –

“The Holiday is as corny as it gets, but in a cinemascape full of macho grunting and aggressive irony, Meyers is perhaps right to believe that corniness is what women - and their boyfriends - will be wanting...” –
