The Mauritanian (2021) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “The same tersely-enunciated pronouncements on what is right and wrong, the stern unflinching ability to sift through the lies people tell, will prove familiar.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Apr 2, 2021 Full Review #Iamhere (2020) 2/5 EDIT “In truth, the film fizzles and sags a bit. What had the potential to be a smart comedy is only half-smart in the end.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 13, 2020 Full Review Looking for Gilles Caron (2019) 4/5 EDIT “Looking for Gilles Caron (Histoire d'un Regard) documents the life of French photographer Gilles Caron... through some of the startling, often moving 100,000 images which he took in the course of his work.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 13, 2020 Full Review Nocturnal (2019) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Bleak and intense, Nocturnal is mildly creepy but curiously credible, upending the lazy cliche viz a viz irresponsible fathers who, it is believed, scarper and forget.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Sep 3, 2020 Full Review A White, White Day (2019) 94% 5/5 EDIT “The slow-burning A White, White Day thrives on a barely-felt erotic charge before sexual jealousy eventually runs rampant behind the domestic veneer.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Aug 28, 2020 Full Review My Rembrandt (2019) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Oeke Hoogendijk, the film's director, has indeed made a bit of a 'thriller' about art, as the publicity dubs it, fair enough, she has.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Aug 13, 2020 Full Review 100% Wolf (2020) 69% EDIT “There is hell of a lot of helter skelter and frantic movement to be done before such questions are resolved in this appealing moonage nightmare, which, yup, ends happily.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Broken Law (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Gritty and engaging, this Cain & Abel motif for our times features fine performances all around.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Lift (2016) 4/5 EDIT “Smart and hard-edged and set in centre-city Dublin, Lift elicits the expected black humour involved when six people get stuck in a lift on a Friday evening, as pub-time beckons.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Powerful and profoundly beautiful.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Downhill (2020) 36% 4/5 EDIT “Downhill is an immensely satisfying cinema experience and a sequel - there certainly is scope for one - would be a most desirable thing.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The Call of the Wild (2020) 63% 4/5 EDIT “The Call of the Wild is a warm and engaging treat for all the family.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 19, 2020 Full Review Jihad Jane (2019) 91% 5/5 EDIT “This film about her life to date is an engrossing documentary which never loses a feel for the human texture behind the headlines.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 19, 2020 Full Review The Rhythm Section (2020) 28% 2/5 EDIT “If the Bond folk are involved the 'money' box is ticked. Likewise, the 'exotic location' box is ticked, but you wouldn't miss much if you missed The Rhythm Section.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% 2.5/5 EDIT “No doubt Asian capitalist interests are well-served in the end, there won't be rioting in the streets on the back of this one. A film is hardly effective satire if it doesn't point up a route to radical change.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018) 95% 2.5/5 EDIT “Long Day's Journey into Night is a risky film to launch anywhere, being slow in its exposition and resistant to easy interpretation. Approach with caution but, if in doubt, approach it anyway.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Amanda (2018) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Amanda has that pressing, anticipatory feel of a Michael Haneke movie, an air of slightly smug urban contentment about to be shattered.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Seberg (2019) 36% 4/5 EDIT “Seberg is a must-see.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Transit (2018) 94% 4/5 EDIT “[A] bold adaptation.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 20, 2019 Full Review The Kingmaker (2019) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The film moves easily back and forth between the simpering, self-justificatory former first lady and the documented realities of what took place under her husband's iron rule.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 12, 2019 Full Review Beanpole (2019) 93% 2/5 EDIT “There is no point obviously in trying to like Beanpole, it doesn't have a sticker attached that says 'like me,' you will either get its uncompromising delving into deep hurt or you won't.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 9, 2019 Full Review So Long, My Son (Di jiu tian chang) (2019) 100% 5/5 EDIT “So Long, My Son, whose original title in Mandarin is Di Jiu Tian Chang, is an easily accessible, beautifully-wrought work of cinema whose universal human story of heartbreak and tragedy is spellbinding.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 4, 2019 Full Review The Biggest Little Farm (2018) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The film is so companionable in John's unrelenting grin-and-bear-it voice-over, and so lovable with Molly's all-American positivity that, heck, you even want to know how they got Todd in the first place.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 1, 2019 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% .5/5 EDIT “Knives Out is a trite, pale comedy that tries to be as infantile as it can be within the bounds of adult entertainment.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 26, 2019 Full Review La belle époque (2019) 90% 5/5 EDIT “Written and directed by Nicolas Bedos, La Belle Epoque is a dazzling tour de force for everyone who likes magnificent escapism.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 20, 2019 Full Review
