All the Bright Places (2020) |
[T]here is an undeniable warmth and tenderness to Fanning and Smith's performances that makes this a worthy, if not particularly memorable, addition to a thriving sub-genre. - One Room With A View

Song of the Sea (2014) |
Aided by stellar voice work from the inimitable Brendan Gleeson, among others, Moore's gorgeous sophomore feature is steeped in a transformative sense of sadness and longing. - One Room With A View

Midnight Special (2016) |
Midnight Special comes close to greatness is undeniable - its first hour is a deliriously inventive, utterly arresting cosmic thriller that keeps its cards very close to its chest. If only the final act didn't reveal its bluff. - One Room With A View

Indignation (2016) |
Even if the bookending sequences thematically overstretch, the film remains an alluring, moving tapestry of a nation unfolding. - One Room With A View

24 Weeks (2016) |
Berrached's 24 Weeks is without question a bleak affair, excruciating even; it is an unflinching account of a impossible decision, a film that punishes its audience's judgement of a situation that is never black and white... - One Room With A View

Things to Come (1936) |
Things to Come (L'avenir) is a masterclass in restraint that proves that a film does not need to be ostentatious in order to be powerful. - One Room With A View

Dirty Cops - War on Everyone (2016) |
Although outwardly disappointing, it's not the case that War on Everyone is a total write-off. - One Room With A View

Alone in Berlin (2016) |
What Vincent Perez's plodding, predictable, utterly perfunctory WWII drama fails to recognise is that it doesn't even have a particularly good story on its hands. - One Room With A View

Death in Sarajevo (2016) |
Tanović's highly literate, complex satire seeks to interrogate its audience, unafraid to look it in the eye as if down the barrel of a gun. - One Room With A View

A Quiet Passion (2016) |
Cynthia Nixon shines in a film that finds poetry in the everyday, grounding the elusive icon with wit, warmth, and humanity. - One Room With A View

Crosscurrent (2016) |
Yang Chao's film is stunning to look at but ultimately confuses profundity with incomprehensible philosophical gesturing. - One Room With A View

Soy Nero (2016) |
While occasionally meandering, there is no denying that Soy Nero persists as an effective indictment of the hypocritical institutions, both political and personal, that mediate local and national categorisation. - One Room With A View

Where to Invade Next (2015) |
Idealism is admirable, but Moore's simplification of the potential solutions to complex national crises is ultimately naive; challenging hegemonic infrastructure and national discourse requires a little more than a few nice ideas haphazardly presented. - One Room With A View

Genius (2016) |
While the film fails to live up to its namesake, it's a starry, solid account of a literary icon and the man who brought him to the world. - One Room With A View

News from Planet Mars (2016) |
An outwardly odd if quietly clever existential drama that trades in satire and biting black humour. - One Room With A View

A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (2016) |
Lullaby boasts Diaz's typically impressive visuals, deep sense of time and place, and enigmatic approach to storytelling, but it feels loose, unfocused in places, and, again, too long. - One Room With A View

Creepy (2016) |
Creepy is a sterile bore that, at 130 gruelling minutes, considerably outstays its welcome. - One Room With A View

The Commune (2016) |
If The Commune was entirely Anna's story then perhaps the film would have fared better. It falls down almost entirely on the strength of her husband Erik's character. - One Room With A View
