Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% EDIT “The film's commentary on corporate greed comes across as particularly phoney, when you realise who's being greedy here: the studio.” – Film Companion Jun 10, 2022 Full Review Abhijaan (2021) EDIT “Parambrata Chatterjee’s film finds the late, great actor at his most vulnerable.” – Film Companion Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% EDIT “Nightmare Alley comes alive in the last forty minutes or so, when the whole thing builds up to a one-last-con-job act: a seance needs to be performed, and a ghost needs to be summoned. Del Toro finds a way to do his thing.” – Film Companion Apr 12, 2022 Full Review Parallel Mothers (2021) 96% EDIT “Appropriately, Almodovar withholds information, both from the audience and the characters, revealing it carefully...” – Film Companion Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Licorice Pizza (2021) 90% EDIT “Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie may seem like an exercise in nostalgia, but is so much more: it is illuminated by a deep sense of personal truth.” – Film Companion Mar 3, 2022 Full Review The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) 93% EDIT “Washington starts wise and quickly devolves into a fool, and the horror on Mcdormand’s face during his public slip-ups have a seriocomic touch. Kathryn Hunter leaves a strong impression as all of the witches.” – Film Companion Jan 19, 2022 Full Review House of Gucci (2021) 61% EDIT “The timeline of Ridley Scott's film roughly spans from the early seventies to the mid nineties, and there is a lot that happens in between: power grabs, backstabbing, a full-fledged family feud.” – Film Companion Dec 22, 2021 Full Review First Cow (2019) 96% EDIT “Kelly Reichardt brings her fine-grained mastery in this frontier tale of male friendship.” – Film Companion Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Bhoot (2003) 71% EDIT “No other city gives off this sense of isolation as strongly as Mumbai, where each apartment is an island. Varma's signature low-angle camera works well with the spatial angularity of the flat...” – Film Companion Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Depth (1980) EDIT “Gehrayee is a relatively less known Hindi horror film, and one of the best ones. Like many good horror films, it shows the triumph of superstition over rationality...” – Film Companion Oct 30, 2020 Full Review The Ornate Lock (1993) EDIT “The fact that there's a reasonable scientific explanation to all of this only makes it even scarier.” – Film Companion Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Raat (1992) EDIT “Horror is a really tropey genre and Varma mostly sticks by the rules, but he knows how to use them effectively.” – Film Companion Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Ek Thi Daayan (2013) 80% EDIT “[The] childhood part of the story has some of the most terrifying scenes, including a hide-and-seek sequence that racks up the tension, and a pretty well-done ritualistic black magic sequence it culminates in.” – Film Companion Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Pari (2018) 53% EDIT “This is risky territory for a horror film, especially when the film has succeeded in keeping its monster out of sight through a sound effect trick. [But] director Prosit Roy does something clever...” – Film Companion Oct 30, 2020 Full Review The World of Goopi and Bagha (2013) 4/5 EDIT “The film was completed six years ago. But it's so unique in its visual style, that it still looks unlike anything we have seen before.” – Film Companion Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Long Live Brij Mohan (2018) 20% 1/5 EDIT “The result feels like a film that was made not because the director had an irresistible itch to tell the story but because crime capers based in North India, filled with sex and swear words, are supposed to be cool.” – Film Companion Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Budhia Singh: Born to Run (2016) 91% EDIT “Budhia Singh may be sincere and well-intentioned, but it is far from an engaging film.” – Livemint Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Spotlight (2015) 97% EDIT “It is a non-showy paean to print reportage as much as it is a deeply affecting human drama.” – The Hindu Jan 13, 2017 Full Review Junooniyat (2016) 0% EDIT “The acting is uniformly bad.” – The Hindu Jul 1, 2016 Full Review Captain America: Civil War (2016) 90% EDIT “In superhero movies, we look for big moments, flamboyance and humour. Civil War does all those things right. It cracks an inside-joke and makes it work for even those who aren't clued into things.” – The Hindu May 6, 2016 Full Review Eye in the Sky (2015) 95% EDIT “Eye in the Sky gets tiring time to time, but its solid plot is good enough to keep it going.” – The Hindu Mar 24, 2016 Full Review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) 28% EDIT “At least there was a sinister surrealism in Tim Burton's Batman movies or a camp value to the ones starring George Clooney. This one is just annoyingly mediocre.” – The Hindu Mar 24, 2016 Full Review
