Secret in Their Eyes has a split-time narrative, and whilst the actors are youthanised for the 13-year flashbacks, their personalities are euthanised too. Ejiofor, Kidman and Roberts are clearly giving it...

We’re all here really to see if Sword Of Destiny was worth the decade-plus wait. It totally was. Yuen Woo-Ping’s direction is strong throughout the wicked plot, and leads Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen...

Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at last year’s Cannes Festival, Chronic makes Michael Haneke’s Amour feel like a Richard Curtis romcom. Michel Franco’s camera intrudes, cold and clinical, on...

Director John Hillcoat is a master of the visceral, slightly depressing mood, so it's a surprise that he's whipped a completely different rabbit out of the hat with Triple 9. This occasionally clever...

At times the premise of Saint Amour feels uncannily similar to Alexander Payne's Sideways, a comparison that will not work to its favour as it slumps in the shadow of a far superior film. That's not to say...

You could send yourself crazy trying to determine what A Dragon Arrives! is actually all about; what opens as a playfully elusive detective noir turns into something else entirely as fact and fiction begin to...

Freeheld’s first act combines irrelevant police cases with an awkward early-stage romance that develops into a cheesy, sun-splashed love story. The deferral of the main narrative leaves room to thoroughly...

Blending the clichéd with the new, How To Be Single is a surprise but not a revelation. Mann and Wilson each do what they do best, both providing great physical comedy as well as more heartfelt...

The fact that a horror film named Creepy fails to be the slightest bit creepy is the first crime of Kurosawa's impotent serial killer thriller. Further crimes include a script that is burdened by boring...

Rooster Teeth, the production company behind cult web series Red vs. Blue, have finally made their first feature film after one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns ever. Their fans will be happy...

It's hard to accuse a 485 minute film of being 'too long', simply for the fact that it operates according to a completely separate set of rules to conventional cinema. That said, Lav Diaz's latest is too...

Bone Tomahawk is a film that colours outside the lines. A Western in spirit, but cannibalistic at heart, beautiful landscapes and meandering conversations mix with grizzly ends and an extensive...

News From Planet Mars is an outwardly odd if quietly clever existential drama that trades in satire and biting black humour. François Damiens excels as Philippe Mars, a helpless man at the edge of a nervous...

Where to Invade Next is an amusing if somewhat shallow address of the various socioeconomic problems currently facing the United States. Idealism is admirable, but Moore's simplification of the potential...

Regardless of its subject matter, calling a film Genius is, naturally, a risky move; that said, while the film fails to live up to its namesake, it's a starry, solid account of a literary icon and the man who...
