The Ritual (2017) 74% EDIT “[The Ritual] delivers here is a decent effort just in time for the Halloween season.” – Film Ireland Magazine Nov 1, 2017 Full Review On Body and Soul (2017) 90% EDIT “Those looking for a more interesting time at the cinema will undoubtedly find a lot to engage with in On Body and Soul...” – Film Ireland Magazine Oct 12, 2017 Full Review mother! (2017) 68% EDIT “What can be said is that watching it personally felt draining as the credits rolled and probably won't be one I'll return to again for a long time.” – Film Ireland Magazine Sep 21, 2017 Full Review Detroit (2017) 82% EDIT “Although Detroit adheres as faithfully as possible to the facts, the framing of the trial can't help but feel clichéd and redundant.” – Film Ireland Magazine Sep 1, 2017 Full Review American Made (2017) 85% EDIT “[American Made] offers nothing new to stand out as anything other than an above-average blockbuster for the end of summer.” – Film Ireland Magazine Aug 31, 2017 Full Review The Dark Tower (2017) 16% EDIT “The Dark Tower serves as a messy and dull pilot for things to come.” – Film Ireland Magazine Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Girls Trip (2017) 91% EDIT “Girls Trip is the perfect example of star charisma elevating the material they're working with.” – Film Ireland Magazine Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Land of Mine (2015) 91% EDIT “Land of Mine is a refreshing surprise that deserves its nomination at the Oscars simply by being humane, heartfelt, and shocking without feeling necessary to delve into the platitudes of glorifying heroics.” – Film Ireland Magazine Aug 17, 2017 Full Review The Emoji Movie (2017) 6% EDIT “To put it in the film's own terms, The Emoji Movie is one big pile of Patrick Stewart.” – Film Ireland Magazine Aug 17, 2017 Full Review England Is Mine (2017) 54% EDIT “Music biographies are best when they offer insight into an artist's life for fans and an introduction for newcomers. England is Mine offers neither.” – Film Ireland Magazine Aug 17, 2017 Full Review A Man Called Ove (2015) 91% EDIT “Despite its flaws, A Man Called Ove still manages to deliver an emotionally satisfying experience through its charming and compelling cast who help elevate the material to an enjoyable standard.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jul 6, 2017 Full Review Risk (2016) 80% EDIT “Poitras finds fresh ground to cover, bringing the important stories of the past back into the present spotlight where it's as important as ever to discuss.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jul 6, 2017 Full Review From the Land of the Moon (2016) 32% EDIT “While direction and production are still to the high quality expected from Garcia, the false promise of exploring new territory makes the overall experience feel lacking, despite its better qualities.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jun 30, 2017 Full Review Cardboard Gangsters (2016) 94% EDIT “The simultaneous and skilful balancing between exploring and appreciating the community of Darndale helps Cardboard Gangsters remain remarkably on the level of its subject matter.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jun 15, 2017 Full Review Frantz (2016) 91% EDIT “While not quite the masterpiece that it intends to be, Frantz still stands as one of the most touching romances this year so far.” – Film Ireland Magazine May 18, 2017 Full Review The Promise (2016) 51% EDIT “For those with an acquired taste for epic romance films from yesteryear, The Promise should recall fond memories of a genre rarely seen in cinema today.” – Film Ireland Magazine Apr 28, 2017 Full Review Going in Style (2017) 47% EDIT “Going in Style is not a bad film by any means, but its biggest crime is being an unimpressionable one.” – Film Ireland Magazine Apr 20, 2017 Full Review Graduation (2016) 94% EDIT “It's an overall satisfying drama from Mungiu, but signs of exhaustion in his ideas are starting to show. There's only so much bleakness any person can take from another.” – Film Ireland Magazine Mar 31, 2017 Full Review Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) 41% EDIT “A product of a far less interesting time, there simply is no necessity for Smurfs anymore. Instead, Sony Animations continue to prove they're one of the worst modern animation studios producing films today.” – Film Ireland Magazine Mar 31, 2017 Full Review Logan (2017) 93% EDIT “Even as the formulaic plotline of government/corporations versus the disenfranchised that X-Men have used for seventeen years now begins to surface, it fails to diminish from the intensity and excitement rampant throughout every scene.” – Film Ireland Magazine Mar 2, 2017 Full Review The Founder (2016) 80% EDIT “While The Founder follows the usual beats of films depicting the vices of business and wealth, it distinguishes itself through a brilliant final act.” – Film Ireland Magazine Feb 17, 2017 Full Review Cameraperson (2016) 100% EDIT “At a time when the truth becomes questionable and dubious to the public at large, Cameraperson feels not only timely but relevant to the ongoing determination.” – Film Ireland Magazine Feb 2, 2017 Full Review Demolition (2015) 53% EDIT “In detailing the synopsis, the story becomes unavoidably kitsch which is the film's glaring problem.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jan 3, 2017 Full Review Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) 28% EDIT “While the first film contains a stronger narrative structure and overall visual design, the primary concern of both films is to have fun, and in this respect, Resurgence provides plenty.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jan 3, 2017 Full Review Why Him? (2016) 40% EDIT “The biggest crime committed is having Bryan Cranston wasted in a straight-man role when he has so much more talent than the literal toilet humour he's given to work with. Avoid at all costs.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jan 3, 2017 Full Review
