The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019) 60% EDIT “The script is laden with a welcome dose of comedy. And it gets a stamp of approval from me. Of course, I'm pretty sure I won't be alone on this -- kids are going to love it.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 28, 2019 Full Review Red Room (2017) EDIT “Of all the things that go wrong in the movie, there are a few saving graces and that is particularly the acting.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Sew the Winter to My Skin (2018) 82% EDIT “Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, one that I would encourage other people to watch too.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Wizard (Matwetwe) (2017) EDIT “Matwetwe's colourful portrayal of the tribulations of coming of age, exploring sexuality, planning for a future in a country where youth unemployment sits at a staggering 55% and the dazzling street fashion are nuanced but equally playful.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Creed II (2018) 83% EDIT “The chemistry between the cast members - whether it's between Stallone and Jordan or Thompson and Jordan - makes the film all the more believable.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Life Itself (2018) 13% EDIT “Life Itself celebrates the human condition and all of its complications with humuor, poignancy and love.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Nov 9, 2018 Full Review The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) 49% EDIT “This is something that female characters have had to fight tooth and nail for over the years: the right to be bad ass and feminine at the same time.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Aug 17, 2018 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) 98% EDIT “You can expect the nifty tricks that we've come to associate Hunt and the IMF with, but the moments I quite enjoyed were those of honesty and gentleness from the super spies.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) 80% EDIT “If you're there solely for an Abba experience on film, for a fun night out with some of your favourite music, you're in for a fun time.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jul 20, 2018 Full Review Chappaquiddick (2017) 80% EDIT “The film displays so beautifully how power renders you above reproach, with Kennedy not even taking enough time to make up for causing Kopechne's death.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Overboard (2018) 24% EDIT “I enjoyed this subversion of traditional gender roles...but it's all a bit much and sadly doesn't feel natural at times.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Number 37 (2018) 94% EDIT “Nommer 37 is a brave and bold directorial debut.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Peter Rabbit (2018) 64% EDIT “Watching Peter Rabbit, though, is a fun way to spend the remainder of the school holidays with the young ones at the cinema.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Five Fingers for Marseilles (2017) 76% EDIT “Five Fingers is a good film with a solid storyline.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017) 81% EDIT “It's a fairly straightforward film that's quite innocent and charming. While it won't tell you everything you need to know about her, it gives you just enough clues to make you want to go find out more about just who Gloria Grahame was.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Catching Feelings (2017) 100% EDIT “It features some beautifully composed shots over Johannesburg and shows her off as I would have pictured her: a woman who is trendy, cool, sophisticated and level-headed, while a little rough around the edges.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 9, 2018 Full Review Lady Bird (2017) 99% EDIT “By the time the film wraps up, you'll be filled with a lot of emotion, ranging from nostalgia to relief. Lady Bird is relatable, honest, doesn't take itself seriously and features some charming shots of Sacramento.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 23, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% EDIT “The film could not have come at a better time. And it does something incredibly important: it allows black artists the opportunity to be front and centre in the telling of stories about black people.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Darkest Hour (2017) 84% EDIT “All in all, Darkest Hour is a competent film. And it has its gems.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 2, 2018 Full Review Pitch Perfect 3 (2017) 29% EDIT “Pitch Perfect finally leaves the stage. And after a solid performance too.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Dec 22, 2017 Full Review Accident (2017) EDIT “... Accident is not a great film.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Dec 1, 2017 Full Review Vaya (2016) 100% EDIT “Vaya is a masterpiece of South African film, and a conscious exploration of the issues facing the people living on the margins of Johannesburg.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Oct 27, 2017 Full Review Happy Death Day (2017) 71% EDIT “The film's ability to not take itself too seriously is probably what makes it most enjoyable.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Oct 20, 2017 Full Review The Snowman (2017) 7% EDIT “Despite these moments, the storyline is coherent, mostly. I also loved the rugged intensity of Fassbender as Harry Hole.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Oct 13, 2017 Full Review Victoria & Abdul (2017) 65% EDIT “Dench is comfortable in her role as the queen, and Fazal also seems to carry Abdul well, and the chemistry between the two actors is good.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Sep 29, 2017 Full Review
