Shiva Baby (2020) 96% EDIT “An exhilarating and compassionate film about love, death, loneliness - and the life-affirming importance ofdessert.” – Sight & Sound Dec 3, 2021 Full Review After the Wedding (2019) 45% EDIT “The film's top-notch cast are let down badly enough by the clunking screenplay, but they are entirely defeated by the ethical vacuum at its core.” – Sight & Sound Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Judy (2019) 82% EDIT “With a jaw-dropping performance from Renée Zellweger at its pulsing, neurotic heart, the film is funny, warm and satisfyingly self-aware.” – Sight & Sound Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Cherrybomb (2009) 42% EDIT “t's the cast, though, who make this film special. Sheehan gives an utterly mesmerising performance as the troubled Luke, almost bursting out of his skin with frustration and mischief.” – Sight & Sound Jul 10, 2018 Full Review 4.3.2.1. (2010) 37% EDIT “It practically nudges you with its 'come on, cheer up' charm.” – Sight & Sound Jul 10, 2018 Full Review In a Better World (2010) 77% EDIT “An attempt to grapple with the nuances of good and evil and examine the limitations of virtue in the face of pure emotion” – Sight & Sound Jul 9, 2018 Full Review Afterschool (2008) 79% EDIT “At its best this film is brave, cool and brimful of ideas, and if they're barely contained within the slightly flimsy story, that's down to Campos' decision to give himself the safety net of a well-worn genre.” – Sight & Sound Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 92% EDIT “Russell's smart, snappy script is delivered by a top-notch cast, including two thoroughly likeable and well-matched leads.” – Sight & Sound Apr 9, 2018 Full Review The Death of Stalin (2017) 94% EDIT “The film is uproariously funny but painfully close to the bone in a world where once again the lunatics have taken over the asylum.” – Sight & Sound Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Daphne (2017) 100% EDIT “The film finally adds up to more than the sum of its well-wrought parts, offering a quietly profound insight into this young woman's attempt to navigate a world that is both familiar and brutally alien.” – Sight & Sound Oct 4, 2017 Full Review My Cousin Rachel (2017) 76% EDIT “Underlying it all is a strongly feminist message about power, money and male fear of what might happen if a woman should gain possession of both - agreeably subversive stuff to find in a crowd-pleasing period drama.” – Sight & Sound Jul 19, 2017 Full Review Victoria (2015) 82% EDIT “Bolstered by an atmospheric score by Nils Frahm and masterful performances by its young leads... the result is a lively and engrossing exercise in creative swagger.” – Sight & Sound Mar 31, 2016 Full Review Tangerine (2015) 96% EDIT “Tangerine takes you by the scruff of your neck into a parallel world where tattered reality is shot through with neon flashes of colour, clarity and pure emotional honesty.” – Sight & Sound Nov 12, 2015 Full Review Iris (2014) 98% EDIT “Albert Maysles's last film is a typically deft exercise in subtle observation.” – Sight & Sound Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Le Week-End (2013) 89% EDIT “It proves again that films made for grown-ups can be more nimble-footed and fresh-faced than anything aimed at the youth market.” – Sight & Sound Jan 6, 2015 Full Review We Are What We Are (2013) 85% EDIT “Mickle and co-writer Nick Damici give themselves plenty of time to tease out their themes and ladle on the tension.” – Sight & Sound Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Young Adult (2011) 80% EDIT “Young Adult is much funnier and infinitely more savage than Cody's earlier collaboration with director Jason Reitman, the cute but rather cosy Juno.” – Sight & Sound Feb 14, 2012 Full Review Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow (2010) 77% EDIT “Is this a film about art, or about film as art? That's the question asked by Sophie Fiennes' ravishing, hypnotic record of the work of Anselm Kiefer.” – Sight & Sound Oct 19, 2010 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (2010) 51% EDIT “The imposition of a fairytale quest structure turns the surrealist wanderings (and wonderings) of a free-associating dreamer into a brusque crash-zoom, as Alice hurtles towards her appointment on the good-versus-evil battlefield.” – Sight & Sound Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2009) 85% EDIT “The slickly plotted mystery... and the relentless pace of the leads, clues, revelations and cliffhangers make for a brilliantly satisfying whodunit.” – Sight & Sound Feb 27, 2009 Full Review
