Apocalypse Child is a film about Ford, an experienced surfing instructor who has always been told his father was Francis Ford Coppola. Yes, the Francis Ford Coppola, who directed Apocalypse Now in the...

It's been said that the age of the Internet has much in common with Ancient Egypt: everybody spends their time writing on walls and worshipping cats. Ceyda Torun’s film Kedi seems at first to be an...

Norman Vincent Peale's most notable quote is "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars” - a warming sentiment now widely observed on cards, mugs and viral Facebook posts. When films...

Stick with Holding The Man; what starts as an awkward school-day skit (Corr and Stott are as convincing teenagers as Hill and Tatum are in Jump Street) becomes a touching story with superb lead and supporting...

Race tries to present itself as a spiritual companion to Creed, but ultimately feels more like The Help: a movie about race which feels deathly afraid of its own subject matter. Stephan James acquits himself...

It should come as no surprise that Orange is the New Black alum Heder can take an improbable premise and spin it into a genre-defying tale. Thriller elements including a tense final act and overly bombastic...

With shades of Submarine, Morris from America literalises the alienation of adolescence by relocating the titular teen and making him a fish out of water. Though Markees Christmas’ charming and likeable...

A promising premise – a surprise intervention for a failing marriage – is wasted in this patchy relationship comedy from writer, director and star, Clea DuVall. She gets strong individual performances...

The sole aspect of Other People that fails to convince is a group display of grief. However, through repetition this moment intelligently bookends the film and becomes symptomatic of the movie’s disparate...

What’s in a name? Not much. Unless that name is Weiner. Directors Kriegman and Steinberg gain unparalleled access to the disgraced dick-pic Democrat as he runs for New York mayor. Their intimate approach...

There are elements to be applauded in this latest TMNT outing – after all, it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than family friendly fun. While the script isn’t exactly Shakespeare, there are some...

Whole swathes of Wiener-Dog have nothing to do with the titular pooch who is ultimately only a contrived and poorly executed device for hanging four grotesque stories together. The first segment, which...

The fact that director Duncan Jones has hammered any kind of story out of one of the most popular videogames of all time is impressive, but Warcraft goes one better and manages to be pretty damn entertaining....

For most of its 100-minute runtime, Money Monster is on the verge of becoming a truly great satire. An intimate hostage situation explodes into a media circus that feels like Network as written by Charlie...
