EDIT “Das is able to bolster the storytelling with his personal experiences. When he is talking about his first kiss or his failed engagement, Das is able to do what most good comedy should: provide a new way of looking at the familiar.” – Scroll.in Aug 6, 2019 Full Review The Nun (2018) 24% EDIT “Like most successful franchise films, The Nun sets up a sequel. Judging by the most recent outing, it might be time to lay this horror series to rest.” – Scroll.in Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Searching (2018) 92% EDIT “Searching is very much a conventional whodunit that has its share of satisfyingly predictable twists and turns and emotionally resonant moments.” – Scroll.in Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% EDIT “Though the movie misses Anderson's trademark humour since the dialogue is in service of the plot, and the director is unable to give deeper resonance to the events befalling his characters, the film can be enjoyed on the strength of its knockout visuals.” – Scroll.in Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) 62% EDIT “Although it is a sequel to a film that didn't need one (and suffers by comparison), Sicario: Day of the Soldado is a perfectly serviceable action thriller with bravura performances by Brolin and Del Toro.” – Scroll.in Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Hereditary (2018) 90% EDIT “Aster never relies on jump scares to provoke a reaction... The supernatural is treated calmly, and it is the normal in fact, that is out of the ordinary.” – Scroll.in Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) 47% EDIT “Whenever any energy builds up, the film falls into its tired old patterns, resorting to either safety or danger at the last minute.” – Scroll.in Jun 8, 2018 Full Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) 69% EDIT “Taking its cues from the superhero origin story, Solo goes to great lengths to do fan service over its two-hour running time. For the rest, this prequel is a by-the-numbers entry in the franchise and easily the weakest film in the rebooted series.” – Scroll.in May 25, 2018 Full Review The Florida Project (2017) 96% EDIT “Sean Baker's portrait of working-class Americana is powerfully narrated and beautifully performed.” – Scroll.in Mar 30, 2018 Full Review Ready Player One (2018) 71% EDIT “Spielberg's film, which could have done so much more, does not improve on the novel. It's a missed opportunity.” – Scroll.in Mar 30, 2018 Full Review The Square (2017) 85% EDIT “With The Square, writer-director Ruben Ostlund finally lives up to the potential seen in his previous films.” – Scroll.in Mar 16, 2018 Full Review Logan Lucky (2017) 92% EDIT “Logan Lucky is emblematic of the classic 1980s Hollywood blockbuster: it is great fun while it lasts, but you will forget it soon after.” – Scroll.in Sep 8, 2017 Full Review The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) 44% EDIT “Samuel Jackson as hitman Darius Kincaid and Ryan Reynolds as his protector, Michael Bryce, turn in hugely enjoyable performances to elevate the run-of-the-mill material.” – Scroll.in Aug 25, 2017 Full Review Berlin Syndrome (2017) 74% EDIT “In the hands of a less capable director, the movie could have easily devolved into a cliched take on well-worn material. Instead, Shortland's direction ensures an effective genre film.” – Scroll.in Jul 28, 2017 Full Review Dunkirk (2017) 92% EDIT “Deploying his mastery over filmmaking technology, Nolan has made World War II look fresh and exciting by focusing not on the action sequences as much as the desperate struggle for survival.” – Scroll.in Jul 21, 2017 Full Review War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) 94% EDIT “Andy Serkis's superb performance and Matt Reeves's heartfelt direction means that for once, humans will root against their own species.” – Scroll.in Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Baby Driver (2017) 92% EDIT “A pure visceral joy is written into the film's many set pieces, which have been shot without too many special effects and rolled out at breakneck speed.” – Scroll.in Jun 30, 2017 Full Review Despicable Me 3 (2017) 58% EDIT “The film is chockfull of colourful and hugely enjoyable sight gags. The key element missing from what is unlikely to be the final part in the multi-billion dollar franchise is an emotional core.” – Scroll.in Jun 16, 2017 Full Review The Lost City of Z (2016) 85% EDIT “Gray and Khondji remain ceaseless in their commitment to a kind of classical visual storytelling that Hollywood rarely delivers on these days.” – Scroll.in May 25, 2017 Full Review The Sense of an Ending (2017) 75% EDIT “Ritesh Batra's adaptation, based on a screenplay by British playwright Nick Payne, unfolds like a mystery. There isn't a crime scene to investigate, but rather the detritus of fading memories.” – Scroll.in May 19, 2017 Full Review King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) 31% EDIT “At its best, Ritchie's style passes for watchable flash. At its worst, it is King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” – Scroll.in May 12, 2017 Full Review The Fate of the Furious (2017) 67% EDIT “When the action falters, like it does in the final sequence along a frozen water body in Russia, the camaraderie between the characters and goofy one-liners sustain the narrative.” – Scroll.in Apr 13, 2017 Full Review Ghost in the Shell (2017) 43% EDIT “Like Major, the film is unable to decide about what it really wants to be.” – Scroll.in Apr 7, 2017 Full Review Colossal (2016) 82% EDIT “Colossal fails where [Vigalondo's] previous films succeeded, particularly in its over-stretched final act.” – Scroll.in Apr 7, 2017 Full Review The Salesman (2016) 96% EDIT “Farhadi's films are suffused with an oppressive atmosphere, and there is something increasingly formulaic in his storytelling.” – Scroll.in Apr 3, 2017 Full Review
