Killers of the Flower Moon
(2023)

Tim Robey

I adored the Irishman; it was one of my favorite of [Scorsese's] films for probably about 25 years, and this is right up there.

Talk to Me
(2023)
|
Karen Krizanovich
|
It's beautifully cast, and I think we get to make judgments about the characters -- and we actually sympathize with them -- without them being mawkish or unbelievable.

This is so fluid, and dynamic, and liberated in its style.

Park Ji-min is incredible in this film. I cannot believe it was a debut performance. She's so magnetic, and unpredictable, and sexy, and changeable.

This film knows what it's doing vis-à-vis teen movies as well as the sacred text [of the book].

I think it all gets squandered by trying to shovel it into satire.

I don't think I necessarily felt satisfied by the climax of this film, but it's a very stylish affair. I very much enjoyed being in the world it's set in. It left me hungry for more, I guess.

The Banshees of Inisherin
(2022)
|
Simran Hans

I think what's quite clever about the structure of the film is that McDonagh flips your allegiances [in a way that's very finely balanced.

Colin Farrell is a revelation in this. I think it's probably his best performance ever.

I enjoy that Official Competition really sends up that kind of brooding artist persona.

Ever since cinema has existed, we've always been in pursuit of spectacle, [and I love] the way that manifests across all these different characters.

It's extremely sophisticated, this film. And it's very mysterious in its structure.

Tom Cruise is here to save cinema. He's here to save America. And I'm here for it.

I don't think Simon Rex is in any way to blame for me hating [Mikey]. I think it's a tremendous performance.

Licorice Pizza
(2021)
|
Simran Hans
|
One thing I really like about this movie is the way it's structured, because it's meandering and it's loose [but] all these little moments, they feel like stories and anecdotes and memories that have been told and recounted many times.

There are bad aspects of it that only make it more enjoyable.

I think it's fun. I think it's extremely silly. I think it's tonally all over the place. I think it's defiantly worth watching.

[In Dune] you get this massive scale... If anybody was going to remake Lawrence of Arabia, it would be Villeneuve.

Zola

It's very arch and very funny in its tone... It's sort of vibrating at this slightly scary frequency, and it really walks the line between comedy and drama.

I do actually think this is one of Wheatley's better films of late.

David Byrne's American Utopia
(2020)

Tim Robey

What they've managed to do is create a permanent record of this amazing show, which I think will go down as one of the most meticulously crafted and contemplated performances by a major musician in history.

Tenet
(2020)
|
Tim Robey

As a delivery system for the thrills, I think the film gets a long way, and you can kind of sit back and enjoy it. As a delivery system for the ideas, I think it trips itself up an awful lot.

It's almost as if [Lauren Greenfield has] been working up to this; it's a perfectly logical move for her after her last two films.

As a genre piece, I think it's really interesting -- well made and immersive. But as a kind of emotional movie that really pulled me in, I don't know if it did that.
