The Fabelmans (2022) 92% EDIT “The Fabelmans is at-once a crowd-pleaser and an art film, each operating at its highest level, a dichotomy I doubted even Spielberg could balance.” – Film Ireland Magazine Feb 8, 2023 Full Review It Must Be Heaven (2019) 96% EDIT “It Must Be Heaven is a brave example of the kind of political dissent that occurs outside of revolutions and riots - the quiet, timid kind of struggle that is constantly coursing beneath the surface of any society, occupied or not.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jun 30, 2021 Full Review Bad Trip (2021) 80% EDIT “Kitao Sakurai's hidden-camera comedy may seem shallow at the outset, but it has more to offer than cheap laughs and gross-out humour... These brief glimpses of humanity broaden the film's emotional range and elevate it within its genre.” – Film Ireland Magazine Apr 28, 2021 Full Review The Dissident (2020) 96% EDIT “The need to question power and hold the corrupt accountable has never been stronger. May it continue beyond the virtues and limitations of The Dissident.” – Film Ireland Magazine Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Beasts Clawing at Straws (2020) 94% EDIT “The disfunction of [filmmaker Kim Yong-hoon's] world, and his ability to maintain narrative clarity across it, is perhaps the greatest strength of his debut film, with hopefully many more to come.” – Film Ireland Magazine Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Kubrick by Kubrick (2020) 82% EDIT “Despite these formal setbacks, which feel born out of genre limitations more than anything else, Kubrick by Kubrick is full of worthwhile insight from one of the cinema's great artists.” – Film Ireland Magazine Mar 18, 2021 Full Review Cats (2019) 19% EDIT “It instils a Lovecraftian madness in the viewer, the silver screen becomes a billowing veil of darkness.” – Film Ireland Magazine Dec 26, 2019 Full Review Glass (2019) 37% EDIT “Perhaps the biggest tragedy of Glass is how short it falls of its own potential.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jan 30, 2019 Full Review The Meeting (2018) EDIT “The film's final tip of the hand also feels a bit too orchestrated... That said, these superficial flaws are dwarfed by the aching humanity on display.” – Film Ireland Magazine Sep 27, 2018 Full Review BlacKkKlansman (2018) 96% EDIT “Lee is able to flip things on a dime, jerking the audience from laughter into a dead silence.” – Film Ireland Magazine Sep 7, 2018 Full Review The Breadwinner (2017) 95% EDIT “The beautiful animation feels graceful and lived-in, never depicting an "other". The absence of any American characters speaks to commitment in showing the Afghan perspective...” – Film Ireland Magazine May 25, 2018 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% EDIT “The film is a crucial commentary on today's climate, with visuals so beautiful as to make you forget how trenchantly political it all is.” – Film Ireland Magazine Mar 20, 2018 Full Review
