Bad Education (2019) 94% EDIT “Cory Finley's layered second feature is a bitingly funny and sharply pointed movie that delivers on the promise he exhibited in his directorial debut Thoroughbreds - and then some.” – Film Inquiry Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Lingua Franca (2019) 86% EDIT “Lingua Franca can't resist an indie cliche but the insight brought by the multi-talented Isabel Sandoval helps this endearing effort overcome those flaws.” – Film Inquiry Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Babyteeth (2019) 94% EDIT “Shannon Murphy demonstrates a remarkable ability to balance the various tones of Babyteeth, while also circumventing sentimentality in favour of something far more emotionally enriching and rewarding.” – Film Inquiry Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Just Mercy (2019) 85% EDIT “The Just Mercy filmmakers cannot resist and refuse to escape the genre trappings, conventions and comparisons that ultimately weight this important tale down.” – Film Inquiry Oct 9, 2019 Full Review All Is True (2018) 73% EDIT “Despite handsome production values and fine performances, Kenneth Branagh's latest directorial effort cannot overcome the trappings of a stuffy yet slow period piece.” – Film Inquiry Mar 8, 2019 Full Review Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) 98% EDIT “A wry, bittersweet but profoundly affecting cinematic experience.” – Film Inquiry Nov 5, 2018 Full Review If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% EDIT “With such ravishing visuals, mostly terrific performances and luscious direction, If Beale Street Could Talk is a film worth speaking about.” – Film Inquiry Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Green Book (2018) 77% EDIT “In spite of its minor issues, Green Book is a rich, entertaining and frequently powerful piece bound to be embraced by audiences when its release comes. A real, unexpected triumph.” – Film Inquiry Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Widows (2018) 91% EDIT “Widows manages to feel like old-school filmmaking but it is fantastically contemporary in its themes and refreshing female angle.” – Film Inquiry Oct 16, 2018 Full Review Two Plains & A Fancy (2018) 67% EDIT “I've no doubt in trusting that Two Plains & A Fancy will find a niche audience - it has all the makings of a small-scale cult classic of sorts - but this uncategorisable farce is too scattershot and messy to come together as something enjoyable.” – Film Inquiry Oct 8, 2018 Full Review A Star Is Born (2018) 90% EDIT “As well as turning Gaga into the next hot big screen commodity, Cooper crafts a film that shines brightest when it needs to, ending on a stirring, emotionally-captivating and indescribably powerful note.” – Film Inquiry Oct 3, 2018 Full Review King of Thieves (2018) 31% EDIT “Wearing its influences on its sleeve, The King of Thieves decides to cash in on the genre's previous glories while forgetting to bring any sense of style or grit to proceedings itself, leading to a disappointingly rote and conventional crime-caper.” – Film Inquiry Sep 21, 2018 Full Review The Children Act (2017) 74% EDIT “he Children Act works strongest as a tight character study of the central female figure, elevated to higher ground by the astonishing lead performance.” – Film Inquiry Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Marrowbone (2017) 49% EDIT “Sánchez is far superior as a director than he is a writer in this instance, with a bold vision he valiantly tries to execute - but he is ultimately held back by his own script.” – Film Inquiry Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) 62% EDIT “It's nihilistic for the sake of being nihilistic and lacks any grounding that could help cultivate an emotional core to anchor yourself to.” – Film Inquiry Jul 12, 2018 Full Review Book Club (2018) 54% EDIT “There are notably few surprises and it employs conventions like they're going out of fashion, but it will do what it set out to do for its mature audience - entertain with its silliness and comfort with its warmth.” – Film Inquiry Jun 6, 2018 Full Review Life of the Party (2018) 38% EDIT “More fun than funny, Life of the Party may be one of the weaker comedies to come from Melissa McCarthy in a leading role, but it's entertaining, pleasant and harmless enough if you've been taken by McCarthy's previous work with Ben Falcone.” – Film Inquiry May 18, 2018 Full Review Beast (2017) 92% EDIT “Beast is a breed of its own, a gritty psychological-mystery with a brilliantly dark, pulsating and atmospheric heart.” – Film Inquiry May 15, 2018 Full Review Ghost Stories (2017) 85% EDIT “On the whole, Ghost Stories is a rather underwhelming horror in a genre that has really started to step it up in the past couple of years.” – Film Inquiry Apr 17, 2018 Full Review Red Sparrow (2018) 45% EDIT “At its best, it is solidly engaging, blistering and intense filmmaking; at its worst, well, in a post award season schedule, it's still one of the better, more original releases in the cinematic landscape at the moment.” – Film Inquiry Mar 21, 2018 Full Review Human Flow (2017) 91% EDIT “It's vividly and powerfully illustrated, with Weiwei's striking aesthetic sensibilities pouring through but it fails to conjure the method of storytelling that would pay the topic the attention it deserves.” – Film Inquiry Feb 20, 2018 Full Review The Party (2017) 82% EDIT “Clocking in at just 71 minutes, The Party packs in more laughs, satire and poignancy than most films could dream, turning its tragicomedy into a roaring success.” – Film Inquiry Jan 29, 2018 Full Review The Babysitter (2017) 70% EDIT “Because of some impressive performances, solid direction and bold decisions, it's difficult not to have fun with Netflix's latest creation.” – Film Inquiry Jan 18, 2018 Full Review American Made (2017) 85% EDIT “American Made is as middle-of-the-road as they come; if the weather is particular depressing and you genuinely have nothing better to do - we've all been there - think about giving American Made a go.” – Film Inquiry Jan 12, 2018 Full Review EDIT “Emotionally exhausting, The Family I Had is a powerful documentary. It is devastatingly sad but with a rare glimmer of hope - moving forward may be difficult but if anyone can inspire hope in the face of difficulty, it's Charity Lee.” – Film Inquiry Dec 23, 2017 Full Review
