Arcadia (2016) |
Arcadia layers its tumbling images to form a portrait of an idiosyncratic nation that hasn't so much lost its way, but rather fallen out of love with itself. - Little White Lies

Snowden (2016) |
Juicy angles are set aside in favour of a straightforward, unquestioning biopic of a dull man who very publicly quit his job. - Little White Lies

The Equalizer (2014) |

A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) |

The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden (2014) |

Hercules (2014) |

Jersey Boys (2014) |
This is an age-old rise-and-fall story that we've all seen a hundred times before, so maybe embalming it in molasses is not the way to go. - Little White Lies

For No Good Reason (2012) |

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) |

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) |
One suspects that if it was any other name but Jackson's above the title, we would be baying for the head of which ever journeyman hack had force-fed us this unnecessary volley of (upper-)second division fantasy clichés. - Little White Lies
