Joyride (2022) 51% 2/5 EDIT “There are so many groundbreaking aspects in this madcap movie, but its brio is undermined by credibility problems as high as Carrauntoohil.” – The Times (UK) Aug 1, 2022 Full Review The Cellar (2022) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Devotees of conventional horror films may find some value, but The Cellar hasn’t much to offer the general viewer.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 26, 2022 Full Review You Are Not My Mother (2021) 88% 3/5 EDIT “A committed and impressive horror-genre piece, but buried within is an even better film about a teenager dealing with a mentally ill parent.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 5, 2022 Full Review Wild Mountain Thyme (2020) 25% 1/5 EDIT “The plot is resolved with such a daft idea that it's hard to believe this was actually written in a script and filmed by sentient adults.” – Sunday Times (UK) May 7, 2021 Full Review Pixie (2020) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Audacity with a tinge of the ludicrous brings plenty of charm to this crime caper from British father-son, director-writer combo Barnaby and Preston Thompson.” – Sunday Times (UK) Dec 21, 2020 Full Review Extra Ordinary (2019) 98% 4/5 EDIT “A standout Irish film, special in its pure daftness; it's hard to resist falling under its quirky spell.” – Sunday Times (UK) Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Never Grow Old (2019) 86% 3/5 EDIT “It's a perfectly serviceable trail-wagon, and no wheels come off, but it's a frontier film that breaks no frontiers of its own.” – Sunday Times (UK) Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Papi chulo (2018) 74% 3/5 EDIT “While the film's primary theme is the sundering of love, Irish writer-director John Butler brings a sharp outsider's eye to the functioning of class and ethnic distinctions between white and Latino Americans.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jun 10, 2019 Full Review The Dig (2018) 75% 4/5 EDIT “The story delivers enough twists and dramatic turns to remain compelling, and the psychology is subtle.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Greta (2018) 61% 2/5 EDIT “The movie trades heavily on the two lead performances and hopes the audience will forgive the narrative wobbles. In the end, however, the story outcome is simply unbelievable.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Out of Innocence (2016) 86% 3/5 EDIT “As a piece of documentary dramatic recreation, Out of Innocence is meticulous and mesmerising, but as artful storytelling, it is less successful.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Don't Go (2018) 36% 3/5 EDIT “The otherworldly elements have enough intrigue to give Don't Go an original edge. It lacks character development but compensates with engaging twists and turns.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Limit Of (2018) 2/5 EDIT “When a thriller loses credibility, it's missing the most important ingredient.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 8, 2019 Full Review The Man Who Wanted to Fly (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Dave Perry's landscape photography, some of it airborne, is a joy, and the two old borderlands bachelors simply doing their thing will induce a broad smile in even the most cynical of viewers.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 1, 2019 Full Review The Hole in the Ground (2019) 83% 3/5 EDIT “The camera loves Kerslake, and the actress excels as she stumbles between thinking she is going mad and that her son is possessed.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Keepers of the Flame (2018) 4/5 EDIT “Nuala O'Connor's debut feature documentary is a fascinating dive into the archive of Irish military service pensions.” – Sunday Times (UK) Dec 18, 2018 Full Review Good Favor (2017) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Like the community featured, this film is too slow to draw the public in.” – Sunday Times (UK) Nov 12, 2018 Full Review I, Dolours (2018) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Dramatic reconstructions are used with mixed success but they are effective in recreating the strapping down and insertion of feeding tubes when the Price sisters were force-fed.” – Sunday Times (UK) Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Black '47 (2018) 78% 4/5 EDIT “It is disappointing that neither of the leads is Irish, though Feeney is played effectively by the cold-eyed Australian actor James Frecheville, and Jim Broadbent is wonderfully well-fed as Lord Kilmichael.” – Sunday Times (UK) Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Dublin Oldschool (2018) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Wordy and worthy, it makes a sweet cinematic monument to the contemporary Dublin rave scene, while reveling in the seductive energy of a good party.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Kissing Candice (2017) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Uncertainty in the storytelling during the final segment doesn't derail this brilliant debut, which is a visual treat that demands to be seen on the big screen.” – Sunday Times (UK) Jun 26, 2018 Full Review The Breadwinner (2017) 95% 4/5 EDIT “In giving this children's film a grown-up storyline, Cartoon Saloon is coming of age in an assertive and fascinating way.” – Sunday Times (UK) May 29, 2018 Full Review Citizen Lane (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “One of the brilliant things a well-made documentary can do is distill a complex yarn into an 80-minute digestible shape, and this story is complicated.” – Sunday Times (UK) May 24, 2018 Full Review Making the Grade (2017) 100% 3/5 EDIT “The vision of the world expressed here is warm and lovely, full of irrepressible positivity. While all negativity is excluded from Wardrop's vision, life's darkness hovers outside the artfully constructed frame.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 30, 2018 Full Review The Delinquent Season (2017) 64% 2/5 EDIT “Ultimately, however, this dinner party, despite many fine ingredients, leaves you still feeling peckish.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 30, 2018 Full Review
