Behind the Candelabra (2013) Chris Laverty A tremendous achievement for all involved.
Posted May 31, 2013  Edit critic review
The Great Gatsby (2013) Chris Laverty Less is not more, more is more. Luhrmann's Great Gatsby embraces this notion as a reflection of its central character, and in this sense at least it is near-on perfect.
Posted May 23, 2013  Edit critic review
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Chris Laverty Manages to appease lifelong Star Trek fans without alienating newcomers.
Posted May 08, 2013  Edit critic review
Iron Man 3 (2013) Chris Laverty The perfect superhero movie.
Posted Apr 23, 2013  Edit critic review
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) Chris Laverty As patchy as a patchwork quilt, but equally pleasing to look at.
Posted Mar 03, 2013  Edit critic review
Lincoln (2012) Chris Laverty The biggest compliment we can pay Joanna Johnston's costumes in Lincoln is that you hardly notice them. This is a far subtler film than you might expect.
Posted Jan 31, 2013  Edit critic review
Django Unchained (2012) Chris Laverty A cruel but humorous tale of robust men and women defined by the myth of the 'Old West'.
Posted Dec 27, 2012  Edit critic review
Les Misérables (2012) Chris Laverty Earnest enough to verge on parody, but so sumptuous most audiences won't care a jot.
Posted Dec 19, 2012  Edit critic review
Skyfall (2012) Chris Laverty Skyfall could be the most enjoyable Bond yet. One thing's for certain; Bond has never scrubbed up better. Tom Ford now exists to make Daniel Craig suits.
Posted Oct 15, 2012  Edit critic review
Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel (2011) Chris Laverty For Vreeland reality was merely the starting point on a far more delicious journey, the best of which is captured here in this excellent documentary.
Posted Sep 20, 2012  Edit critic review
Looper (2012) Chris Laverty A mishmash of futuristic conventions and clichés cobbled together as something we have never quite seen before.
Posted Sep 13, 2012  Edit critic review
The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Chris Laverty Exciting, audacious and thematically rich; Christopher Nolan refuses to play safe.
Posted Jul 20, 2012  Edit critic review
Cosmopolis (2012) Chris Laverty An immaculate journey into weird.
Posted Jun 28, 2012  Edit critic review
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) Chris Laverty Wes Anderson's most sartorially significant film yet.
Posted May 28, 2012  Edit critic review

Posted Apr 19, 2012  Edit critic review
The Hunger Games (2012) Chris Laverty The film is aided immeasurably by Judianna Makovsky's costume design. Clothes are an intentional method of deciphering The Hunger Games' politics.
Posted Mar 26, 2012  Edit critic review
The Woman in Black (2012) Chris Laverty Proof that frock coats and lace dresses really are terrifying.
Posted Feb 09, 2012  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 22, 2011  Edit critic review
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) Chris Laverty Enjoyably daft fare with enough sci-fi tech and desirable clobber to keep you cooing until the credits.
Posted Dec 15, 2011  Edit critic review
The Artist (2011) Chris Laverty If there is a more joyous film this year, we haven't seen it.
Posted Nov 24, 2011  Edit critic review
Drive (2011) Simon Kinnear Gosling speaks through movement: his walk is gliding, his profile aquiline, and his dress sense is pimped up. In short, he pretty much is a car.
Posted Oct 22, 2011  Edit critic review
Melancholia (2011) Chris Laverty Melancholia is a heartbreakingly beautiful experience, one to selfishly guard and treasure.
Posted Oct 20, 2011  Edit critic review

Posted Jul 24, 2011  Edit critic review

Posted May 26, 2011  Edit critic review
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) Chris Laverty This saturated saga is dead in the water.
Posted May 16, 2011  Edit critic review
Water for Elephants (2011) Chris Laverty Old fashioned and sentimental, Water for Elephants still has much to offer with its very readable costume design.
Posted May 09, 2011  Edit critic review
Rabbit Hole (2010) Chris Laverty While it may be uncomfortable to watch, Rabbit Hole is nonetheless essential viewing.
Posted Feb 03, 2011  Edit critic review

Posted Jan 18, 2011  Edit critic review
Tron: Legacy (2010) Chris Laverty There are flourishes of brilliance, particularly in score, costumes and set design. However, this brilliance is often buried beneath messy, disjointed action sequences and a story that fails to make any sense at all.
Posted Dec 05, 2010  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 18, 2010  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 11, 2010  Edit critic review

Posted Sep 05, 2010  Edit critic review
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) Chris Laverty Tarantino, without the extraneous dialogue.
Posted Aug 23, 2010  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 04, 2010  Edit critic review

Posted Jul 22, 2010  Edit critic review

Posted Jul 12, 2010  Edit critic review
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) Chris Laverty Falls short of The Curse of the Black Pearl in perhaps every way but costume.
Posted May 13, 2010  Edit critic review
3/5
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) Chris Laverty Eighties nostalgia has never been so disgusting, or funny.
Posted May 10, 2010  Edit critic review
4/5

Posted Mar 12, 2010  Edit critic review

Posted Feb 09, 2010  Edit critic review
2/5

Posted Jan 18, 2010  Edit critic review
4/5

Posted Dec 08, 2009  Edit critic review
4/5
The Road (2009) Chris Laverty Hillcoat took it as far as he dared and created a beautiful suffering; a film that somehow manages to be both unwatchable and unmissable at the same time.
Posted Nov 19, 2009  Edit critic review
2/5
Saturn 3 (1980) Chris Laverty Saturn 3 remains a mere gender curio of the era. It's too rotten to be anything else.
Posted Nov 13, 2009  Edit critic review
5/5
Chinatown (1974) Chris Laverty A landmark blend of acting, directing, structure and design. Chinatown is the greatest detective movie ever made.
