3/5 96% Sunshine on Leith () " A far cry from the likes of Rock of Ages and Mamma Mia!, and worth seeing for Mullan's Tom Waits-channelling alone." — The Skinny
Posted Oct 3, 2013
4/5 91% In a World... (2013) " In a World... is thankfully more endearing hangout movie than erratic sitcom, and it shows significant promise for future endeavours from its helmer." — The Skinny
Posted Sep 19, 2013
2/5 68% Elysium (2013) " This is a film with potentially interesting ideas undone by underdeveloped world building." — The Skinny
Posted Aug 22, 2013
5/5 —— One Two One () " The cumulative result is quietly devastating, both in terms of its characters' journeys and the wider meaning applicable to the society in which the film is set." — The Skinny
Posted Jul 23, 2013
4/5 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " A large-scale love letter to Japanese sci-fi, but also an accessible blockbuster imbued with delightful eccentricities amid its broad elements." — The Skinny
Posted Jul 11, 2013
4/5 —— Natan () " As both an entertaining rescue of a man's name from oblivion and what's hopefully just the start of the rewriting of cinema history, Natan's is a story that needs to be seen." — The Skinny
Posted Jul 9, 2013
4/5 92% This Is Martin Bonner (2013) " Huge warmth is emitted from beautifully realised performances and scripting." — The Skinny
Posted Jun 27, 2013
4/5 77% Leviathan (2013) " Leviathan is likely like nothing you've ever seen, with filmmaking methods you can barely comprehend, and it absolutely demands to be seen on the big screen." — The Skinny
Posted Jun 27, 2013
4/5 —— From Tehran to London () " This excellent short work concludes and is edited as to suggest the incomplete nature of Iranian women's struggle, even if the filmmaker herself has managed some degree of freedom through personal choice." — The Skinny
Posted Jun 24, 2013
2/5 67% World War Z (2013) " The last third is pretty solid, if generic, zombie horror; it's unfortunately just stuck in a clunky mess of an attempted blockbuster." — The Skinny
Posted Jun 20, 2013
1/5 7% The Big Wedding (2013) " Built on chaotically disparate tones and extremely broad jokes that never hit their mark, The Big Wedding is completely devoid of laughs." — The Skinny
Posted Jun 5, 2013
3/5 64% Epic (2013) " Perhaps the most impressively rendered cinematic realisation of this concept, with some pleasingly inventive touches for visualising our protagonists' world." — The Skinny
Posted May 23, 2013
4/5 98% Mud (2013) " The disappointing denouement is far outweighed by the overall strength of the journey to that resolution." — The Skinny
Posted May 9, 2013
4/5 92% Gimme The Loot (2013) " Bolstered by a low-key but assured aesthetic and a soundtrack of vintage soul and doo-wop, the film is infectiously enjoyable, with frequently amusing insights and an affable shagginess." — The Skinny
Posted May 2, 2013
4/5 79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " Feels like a singular, fully realised entity, rather than a glorified teaser trailer for another crossover feature, and has some genuinely inspired and satisfying surprises amidst its familiar trappings." — The Skinny
Posted Apr 25, 2013
3/5 70% The Thieves (2012) " Sadly, plot padding sees the film, lengthy for a heist thriller at 136 minutes, eventually wear out its welcome." — The Skinny
Posted Feb 27, 2013
3/5 78% A Late Quartet (2012) " A Late Quartet has numerous subplots fighting for attention, the unfortunate result being that many of them, and thus the film itself, feel under-realised." — The Skinny
Posted Feb 27, 2013
4/5 —— Vito (2013) " What remains of that great voice in archive form is a huge part of the film's success ..." — The Skinny
Posted Feb 27, 2013
4/5 96% The History Of Future Folk (2013) " Though made with a light touch, the entertaining Future Folk potently explores both the power of music and connection with people, achieving a surprisingly sweet sincerity with its high concept." — The Skinny
Posted Feb 27, 2013
2/5 89% Compliance (2012) " The film ultimately feels exploitative, especially in its schematic selectiveness about what to show or not." — The Skinny
