Attack on Titan: End of the World (2015) 50% 3/5 EDIT “The actors are self-conscious and dreadful, but their fringes are undeniably impressive, and the film has a schlocky B-movie appeal, propelled by terrific special effects ...” – Guardian Nov 26, 2015 Full Review Attack on Titan (2015) 47% 3/5 EDIT “The actors are self-conscious and dreadful, but their fringes are undeniably impressive, and the film has a schlocky B-movie appeal, propelled by terrific special effects ...” – Guardian Nov 26, 2015 Full Review The Hero of Color City (2014) 30% 3/5 EDIT “It should appeal to the little ones, but there's not much here for the over-sixes.” – Guardian Apr 30, 2015 Full Review The Pyramid (2014) 13% 1/5 EDIT “Levasseur understands the claustrophobia of being locked inside a stuffy pyramid with collapsing floors and sand traps. Unfortunately for him, Indiana Jones turns out to be incompatible with Alien, and the bad acting and atrocious script don't help.” – Guardian Dec 4, 2014 Full Review Ping Pong Summer (2014) 59% 3/5 EDIT “It's gawky and awkward, but just like Rad's breakdancing worm, this one gets better as it goes along.” – Guardian Jan 31, 2014 Full Review War Story (2014) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Jackson is wise to keep Keener's pushy, desperate Lee in centre focus.” – Guardian Jan 28, 2014 Full Review Gare du Nord (2013) 4/5 EDIT “Unscripted honesty and amateur performances hold your attention, just as the improbable yet weirdly plausible love affair between Mathilde and Ismal is given vitality and passion by two utterly believable performances from Garcia and Kateb.” – Guardian Jan 28, 2014 Full Review Tamla Rose (2013) 0% 1/5 EDIT “All dozen of the songs are dubbed. Badly. And with fake crowd sounds (constant applause, etc).” – Guardian Dec 12, 2013 Full Review Muscle Shoals (2013) 96% 4/5 EDIT “A stubborn charmer whose life was a magnet for tragedy, Hall is the emotional centre not only of the Muscle Shoals sound but of this film.” – Guardian Oct 24, 2013 Full Review Magnificent Presence (2012) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Pietro's struggle to reconcile fiction and reality is just about charming enough to hold this frustratingly unresolved and lightly uncomic film together.” – Guardian Oct 24, 2013 Full Review Wolf Children (2012) 95% 4/5 EDIT “It's a fairytale in a real-life setting, photorealistically drawn in shifting light that rivals Monet or GTA5.” – Guardian Oct 24, 2013 Full Review Rurouni Kenshin (2012) 3/5 EDIT “Behind the adolescent storylines gleams a well-shot swordplay spectacular, featuring a scene-stealing turn from Munetaka Aoki as the Little-John-meets-Ryu-from-Street-Fighter-II sidekick with the 8ft slab of blunt metal.” – Guardian Oct 3, 2013 Full Review Hateship Loveship (2013) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Like the world's longest advertisement for cleaning products, Hateship Loveship might well have come with the tagline: scrub your way to a better life.” – Guardian Sep 11, 2013 Full Review The Armstrong Lie (2013) 82% 4/5 EDIT “It ... succeeds as a probing look into the mechanics of an epic lie, and because of the emotion at its heart.” – Guardian Sep 11, 2013 Full Review Are You Here (2013) 6% 2/5 EDIT “You Are Here's moments of dramatic clarity are swarmed by strange ideas that don't make much sense when examined at closer range.” – Guardian Sep 9, 2013 Full Review 009 Re: Cyborg (2012) 17% 2/5 EDIT “We're in a post-9/11 world plagued with terror attacks. Is it an American corporate conspiracy? Or the work of a deity? Cue the obligatory second-half metaphysical blather.” – Guardian Jun 6, 2013 Full Review
