Hannah Arendt (2013) |
"
Though growing considerably tedious in parts, and lagging somewhat in the middle stages, Hannah Arendt picks up once again for what is an immensely engaging climax. "

Mister John () |
"
Mister John carries a premise not too dissimilar to that of Only God Forgives, except where this excels, is that both Lawlor and Molloy have remembered that there is an audience watching."
