EDIT “A series of misjudged jokes about the Paris terrorist attacks proved that Boyle is best ignored these days.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Fyre (2019) 93% EDIT “The siren call of social media and the idea of perfection it peddles is far too irresistible.” – The National (UAE) Jan 31, 2019 Full Review Hannah Gadsby: Nanette (2018) 100% 5/5 EDIT “A devastating, furious farewell.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Anthropoid (2016) 67% 4/5 EDIT “A film that does every justice to the bravery of two men who undoubtedly altered the course of the Second World War.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 8, 2016 Full Review Sausage Party (2016) 82% 2/5 EDIT “What should have been a shamelessly filthy stoner movie has been watered down with ill-judged, undergraduate musings on religion, philosophy and race.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 1, 2016 Full Review Sing Street (2016) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A delightful coming-of-age tale that both celebrates young love and laments how quickly the fire of youth can be snuffed out.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 19, 2016 Full Review The Last Witch Hunter (2015) 17% 2/5 EDIT “Most will find this a rather too brassy affair, handicapped by incontinent plotting. But there are probably just enough references to shape shifters, dream walkers and secret brotherhoods to keep the geeks happy.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 25, 2015 Full Review How to Change the World (2015) 95% 4/5 EDIT “This is not a political documentary, attempting to sway one's opinion on the success or otherwise of Greenpeace. Rothwell's camera remains neutral, allowing the subjects to tell their story.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 10, 2015 Full Review The Salt of the Earth (2014) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Sebastião Salgado has spent his career documenting human suffering. And yet this quiet, dignified film about the 71-year-old will leave you twitching with envy. His, truly, has been a life well-lived.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Survivor (2015) 8% 2/5 EDIT “Oh, how you'll laugh at the dialogue, at the plot and - most of all - at Pierce Brosnan's moustache, which is so hilarious it deserves a film of its own.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 4, 2015 Full Review Man Up (2015) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Time and again, Man Up is saved by Bell.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 28, 2015 Full Review Rosewater (2014) 76% 4/5 EDIT “This remarkable film is a tribute to the bravery of foreign correspondents and a love letter to democracy.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 7, 2015 Full Review I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story (2014) 84% 2/5 EDIT “This is a story that belongs on the small screen. It simply isn't interesting enough to hold the attention for 90 minutes.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 30, 2015 Full Review The Emperor's New Clothes (2015) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Winterbottom has managed to mould Brand's scatterbrain thinking and tedious, polysyllabic rhetoric into a film which, on more than a few occasions, is surprisingly thought-provoking.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 25, 2015 Full Review Dark Horse (2015) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Osmond's documentary is inspiring and emotive but it is never manipulative. The characters are working-class pragmatists and Osmond should be applauded for making no attempt to disguise this.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 16, 2015 Full Review Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015) 19% 2/5 EDIT “How could such a gripping true story make such a dull film? And what was Anthony Hopkins thinking when he agreed to star?” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 2, 2015 Full Review A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) 68% 2/5 EDIT “What is the point of all this nastiness? Well, of course, there is none.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 18, 2014 Full Review
