The White Crow (2018) |
A serious-minded, often beautiful, utterly heartfelt character study that nevertheless lacks its astonishing protagonist's fleet-footedness and only partly captures what made him tick. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

The Aftermath (2019) |
You may well enjoy this unusual love story: for its performances, its strong sense of time and place, and its vivid reminder that a war's official end is never really anything of the kind. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Bolshoi Babylon (2015) |
It places the traumatised but still astonishingly high-functioning company in national and historical context, peels away its glamorous mask, and lets the backstage dramas of its various damatis personae unfold. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Back to the Future (1985) |
This fusion of sci-fi, action, romance and comedy could have been a dreadful mess, were it not for writer-director Robert Zemeckis and co-writer Bob Gale's refusal to let a loose line or idea escape their pens. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Star Trek (2009) |
Whether watching Kirk and Sulu skydive from space, a rural Mid-West dotted with vast interstellar towers, or Kirk do battle with a very ill-tempered beastie on a frozen moon, it's hard not to gape in wonder. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Psycho (1960) |
Even now, it's distinctly unnerving. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Bugsy Malone (1976) |
Parker's script is as sharp as a wiseguy's suit, his attention to period and genre detail a constant joy, and he coaxes scarily poised performances from his young performers. - Daily Telegraph (UK)

Quantum of Solace (2008) |
Lacks Casino Royale's narrative drive, and is less than the sum of its parts, [but] those parts are often terrific. See it for them, and see it for Craig's fully-formed Bond: angry, icily unsentimental, and fleetingly borderline psychotic at the close. - Daily Telegraph (UK)
