Standby (2014) |
Standby brings a breath of fresh air to the rom-com genre and leaves on it a decisively Irish stamp. A must watch. - Film Ireland Magazine

Apples of the Golan (2012) |
A skillfully crafted film, Apples of the Golan sheds light onto a subject that more people need to know about. Recommended. - Film Ireland Magazine

Song of the Sea (2014) |
A wonderful film for families, and for lovers of animation, Song of the Sea is a breath of fresh air in a market that is continually being crammed with commercial-driven, sub-par content. - Film Ireland Magazine

Coco (2017) |
Though in many ways it treads similar ground, Coco is a film rich in heart, so much so that the film's few flaws fail to take away from the overall experience. - Film Ireland Magazine

The Greatest Showman (2017) |
It may provide just enough spectacle to prove a pleasant distraction during the holiday period, but a warning in advance - leave the brain behind for this one. - Film Ireland Magazine

Suburbicon (2017) |
Though visually pleasant, if lacking flair, director George Clooney just can't make the film come together in a way that will elicit an audience reaction other than 'meh'. - Film Ireland Magazine

Justice League (2017) |
The characters save the film from being a complete and utter disaster, but they alone can't save it from being a mild disaster. - Film Ireland Magazine

Breathe (2017) |
Inspirational? Yes, absolutely. Genuine? Not so much. Thankfully, Andrew Garfield's and Claire Foy's performances keep the film from descending into 'Hallmark-made-for-TV' territory... - Film Ireland Magazine

It (2017) |
IT nonetheless manages in a lot of ways to improve on its source material, combining horror and adventure in a way that will leave audiences both scared and exhilarated. - Film Ireland Magazine

Annabelle: Creation (2017) |
Annabelle: Creation manages to undo a lot of the damage done from its 2014 predecessor and uses the best elements of the horror genre to create something that feels familiar but not fatigued. - Film Ireland Magazine

Kedi (2016) |
While cat lovers will naturally be drawn to this documentary due to the subject matter alone, those with more ambiguous feelings towards our feline friends will also find oodles of things to enjoy in this well-crafted and lovable piece of film. - Film Ireland Magazine

Gifted (2017) |
Gifted is too paint-by-numbers to be brilliant but it makes for an enjoyable watch even though it often goes for the low ground to make an emotional impact. - Film Ireland Magazine

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) |
Much like the titular character, seems to be suffering from an identity crisis. Half sweeping fantasy epic, half nitty-gritty gang comedy... the film is overstuffed with ideas that could have proven intriguing if given enough room to breathe. - Film Ireland Magazine

The Eyes of My Mother (2016) |
Deeply disturbing, and with just enough visual tantalisations to boast the director's skill, The Eyes of My Mother is a film that only few could enjoy, or at very least stomach. - Film Ireland Magazine

The Salesman (2016) |
Ultimately, The Salesman is an intelligent and well-balanced film that, much like its characters, has a lot more going on than is apparent on the surface. - Film Ireland Magazine

Manchester by the Sea (2016) |
A quiet, thoughtful film meditating on the question of loss and those death leaves behind, director Kenneth Lonergan delivers a deeply humane portrayal of grief and those who choose to let it define them. - Film Ireland Magazine

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016) |
No doubt the film will serve nicely as a passing amusement for the kids on a wet weekend, but overall it is a disappointing step-down for Disney's live action output. - Film Ireland Magazine

Knight of Cups (2015) |
Knight of Cups is a film that feels it has something important to say - much like a twenty-year-old college student who has tried weed for the first time - but in reality, just like said college student, it is speaking nothing but gibberish. - Film Ireland Magazine

Jem and the Holograms (2015) |
Overall Jem and the Holograms is a confused mess that will leave previous fans of the show isolated by its insistence on being 'hip' and 'with it', while newer audiences are unlikely to appreciate its premise in a post-Hannah Montana world. - Film Ireland Magazine

Concussion (2015) |
Even Smith's solid performance cannot salvage this dullfest, and when someone as charismatic as Will Smith can't inject energy into a film, you know it's bad. - Film Ireland Magazine

Now You See Me 2 (2016) |
Overall, Jon M. Chu's film has enough flash and razzmatazz to keep the audience passingly entertained but little to offer in terms of an engaging story - or indeed, one that just makes sense. - Film Ireland Magazine

The Jungle Book (2016) |
Was a live-action remake of Disney's 1967 animated hit really necessary? No. That said, does Jon Favreau's re-interpretation make for good watching? Oh yes! - Film Ireland Magazine

The Purge: Election Year (2016) |
The Purge: Election Year definitely aims higher than its predecessors but ultimately becomes too weighed down by its nonsensical premise and over-enthusiastic political commentary to be anything close to insightful or scary. - Film Ireland Magazine
