Aziz Ansari: Buried Alive (2013) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A natural performer, he reeled off his observations and diatribes with absolute precision, not an "um" or an "ah" in sight.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Mid90s (2018) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Lending the film considerable ballast is an affecting performance by Sunny Suljic.” – Independent (UK) Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Serenity (2019) 21% 1/5 EDIT “It's a sweaty collection of neo-noir motifs, with a twist so seismically stupid that you're not only left with whiplash but months of intense physiotherapy.” – Independent (UK) Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Dark River (2017) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Barnard once again evokes a grubby, gothic landscape that'll get right under your fingernails. It'll stay there for weeks.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 22, 2018 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% 4/5 EDIT “The whole thing is gloriously tinged with nostalgia.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 10, 2017 Full Review George Michael: Freedom (2017) 69% 4/5 EDIT “As a narrator, Michael was as you'd expect: smart, self-deprecating, with an underlying melancholy.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 20, 2017 Full Review The Limehouse Golem (2016) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Peer through the thick London fog and you'll find a feminist film lurking.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Tour De Pharmacy (2017) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Someone hand Samberg and Miller the yellow jersey immediately.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Baywatch (2017) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Ultimately, this film should have been left in the beach hut, and certainly not encouraged to step on to the sand.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 23, 2017 Full Review City of Tiny Lights (2016) 61% 3/5 EDIT “A decent vehicle for Ahmed to show why he's considered one of Britain's most interesting young stars.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 9, 2017 Full Review Trespass Against Us (2016) 56% 2/5 EDIT “A rickety curio that wavers between whimsy and dour melodrama, it drifts aimlessly, achieving very little - much like the Anglo-Irish vagabonds the film revolves around.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 2, 2017 Full Review Prevenge (2016) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Serving as an allegory on post- and antenatal depression, Prevenge is a kaleidoscope of violence and humour, a tense tale that wickedly extracts laughs through the banality of its suburban setting.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 12, 2017 Full Review Gold (2016) 41% 2/5 EDIT “Gold is simply a dull chore steeped in strike-it-rich clichs, a flaccid tale of capitalist cat-and-mouse that shirks the opportunity to say anything remotely of interest.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 2, 2017 Full Review A Street Cat Named Bob (2016) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Bob powers the film's cuteness quotient and extracts laughs with whisker-fine precision.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 3, 2016 Full Review Brotherhood (2016) 61% 2/5 EDIT “Few if any likely to include their performances here on their CV, which veer from pantomime to self-parodically flat-pack basic.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 2, 2016 Full Review The Meddler (2015) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Arriving under the radar, The Meddler is a surprise treat. Go see it with your mother.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 30, 2016 Full Review The Silent Storm (2014) 28% 1/5 EDIT “Stultifyingly vapid.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 20, 2016 Full Review A Hologram for the King (2016) 70% 2/5 EDIT “This is a whimsical comedy that falls through the memory like sand through your hand.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 19, 2016 Full Review I, Daniel Blake (2016) 92% 3/5 EDIT “While it too often sands the complications off what you sense should feel like an uncomfortably splintery issue, in its best moments, it's a quietly fearsome piece of drama.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 12, 2016 Full Review Green Room (2015) 90% 3/5 EDIT “A pulverising piece of Seventies-style grindhouse exploitation, stitched together from the body parts of John Boorman's classic Deliverance and John Carpenter's siege thriller Assault on Precinct 13.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 12, 2016 Full Review The Ones Below (2015) 76% 3/5 EDIT “All in all, The Ones Below is a creepy genre exercise by a craftsman finding his groove.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 10, 2016 Full Review Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) 81% 4/5 EDIT “All this may sound horrendously twee on paper. But on film, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is thoughtful and tender, bursting with mordant humour and energetic camerawork, and acted with merciful intelligence.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Escobar: Paradise Lost (2014) 53% 3/5 EDIT “Every time del Toro's onscreen, you're so blown away that you end up angry at what might have been.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 20, 2015 Full Review 5 Flights Up (2014) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Ruth & Alex is a drama without drama: the cinematic equivalent of a barbiturate. Freeman and Keaton deserve better material.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 23, 2015 Full Review 13 Minutes (2015) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Not only is the film too long - ironic given its title - but everything within it is spelt out in bold capital letters.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 16, 2015 Full Review
