The Hippopotamus (2017) 62% 3/5 EDIT “An old-fashioned romp through the eccentricities of the upper classes, it's a fun mystery with a nicely filthy mind.” – Total Film May 30, 2017 Full Review A Silent Voice (2016) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Viewing the heightened emotion and drama of adolescence with an unjudgemental eye, it's a reminder that schooldays are always the best.” – Total Film Mar 16, 2017 Full Review At Berkeley (2013) 87% 2/5 EDIT “Think a four-hour, narrative-free documentary in which we peep in on board meetings and lectures with unnamed bigwigs at one of America's most prestigious universities sounds boring? Well you'd be right about that, as it is.” – Total Film Sep 8, 2014 Full Review Down by Law (1986) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Mutual irritation merges into grudging friendship, and the wit manages to be both broad and smart, soulful and silly, subtle and raucous, all at the same time.” – Total Film Sep 8, 2014 Full Review A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness (2013) 95% 3/5 EDIT “It's a film of contrasts - community and solitude, silence and primal noise, darkness and light - beautifully shot, wilfully slow and enjoyably baffling.” – Total Film Sep 8, 2014 Full Review God Help the Girl (2014) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The cutesiness will entice /repel viewers in equal measure, but it has a lot of heart, and displays it on its sleeve.” – Total Film Aug 18, 2014 Full Review Postman Pat: The Movie - You Know You're the One (2013) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Postman Pat - lovably voiced by Stephen Mangan - is catnip to nippers, who'll love the songs (Ronan Keating takes over to voice those), fear the scary robot cats and cheer the ever-cheery mailman on his way.” – Total Film May 26, 2014 Full Review Mariachi gringo (2012) 43% 2/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, thanks to barely sketched, predictable characters, it's an opportunity wasted.” – Total Film May 26, 2014 Full Review Wrinkles (2014) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Bleak, funny, sympathetic and desperately sad ...” – Total Film Apr 14, 2014 Full Review Floating Skyscrapers (2013) 80% 2/5 EDIT “Stylishly shot, and reflecting Polish society's conservatism, this is a coming-out tale riddled with pain and anguish.” – Total Film Dec 2, 2013 Full Review Day of the Flowers (2012) 58% 3/5 EDIT “Humour and melodrama rub along uncomfortably, but the likeable leads and gorgeous scenery make this lightweight trip fly by.” – Total Film Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Last Passenger (2013) 86% 3/5 EDIT “As six commuters bicker and learn to work together, some overripe dialogue and a well-worn plot are tempered by an admirable reluctance to humanise the terrorist ...” – Total Film Oct 14, 2013 Full Review Austenland (2013) 32% 2/5 EDIT “Too witless to be a decent comedy, too charmless to call itself a parody, this messy adap of Shannon Hale's novel groans under the weight of a predictable plot and explosive overacting ...” – Total Film Sep 24, 2013 Full Review Planes (2013) 26% 2/5 EDIT “Little ones will love the bright action scenes, but the lack of wit and humanity that makes exec producer John Lasseter's best work so special will leave grown-ups feeling frustratingly grounded.” – Total Film Aug 6, 2013 Full Review The Heat (2013) 65% 3/5 EDIT “It's down to the two leads to charm their way through the clichés. They half manage it.” – Total Film Jul 16, 2013 Full Review Stuck in Love (2012) 57% 3/5 EDIT “A sweet little study of the right royal mess people can make of relationships when they let their own neuroses take over, and a warm tribute to overcoming them.” – Total Film Jun 11, 2013 Full Review
