47 Meters Down (2017) 53% 3/5 EDIT “This low budget but highly-effective horror film is exactly the kind of movie that legendary Hollywood D-movie producer Roger Corman would have knocked out in the '70s: plenty of writhing female limbs, no surprises.” – Time Out Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Wish Upon (2017) 20% 1/5 EDIT “What would you wish for? World peace? Instagram fame? Or maybe for Hollywood to stop making horror films so needlessly violent, so deeply cynical, so aggressively targeted at teenage girls.” – Time Out Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Our Children (2012) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Through Lafosse's vivid lensing and framing, Our Children exerts a steely grip. Yet the film remains restrained, detached and balanced ...” – The List May 24, 2013 Full Review Olympus Has Fallen (2013) 49% 2/5 EDIT “It's derivative, it's cheesy, it's fantastically unconvincing, its patriotism unabashed, its politics reductive, its morals binary.” – The List Apr 18, 2013 Full Review Love Is All You Need (2012) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Willfully tries to market itself as delightful and heartwarming, but ends up being neither.” – The List Apr 16, 2013 Full Review Ill Manors (2012) 77% 4/5 EDIT “A guttural call from a place that, for most of us, remains as remote as a jungle.” – Little White Lies Jun 6, 2012 Full Review Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011) 68% 2/5 EDIT “Too light for its own good.” – Little White Lies Apr 19, 2012 Full Review This Must Be the Place (2011) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Worth catching for the stunning soundtrack and Sorrentino's mad direction.” – Little White Lies Apr 5, 2012 Full Review The Island President (2011) 98% 3/5 EDIT “Sure it's hagiographic, but this is environmentalist filmmaking at its best.” – Little White Lies Mar 29, 2012 Full Review Hard Boiled Sweets (2012) 22% 1/5 EDIT “A miserable mess of gangland cliches and narrative tangle that deserves to be dropped off the end of Southend pier, preferably attached to an anvil.” – Empire Magazine Mar 9, 2012 Full Review Cleanskin (2012) 53% 3/5 EDIT “With a better script editor, this could have been a character-piece comparable, maybe, to Showtime's Homeland.” – Little White Lies Mar 8, 2012 Full Review Chemical Brothers: Don't Think (2012) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Don't Think is an extraordinarily experiential account of that mildly psychedelic evening, with Smith's camera swooping and swooning over an audience going bananas to the throbbing force of The Chemical Brother's beats.” – MovieScope Feb 29, 2012 Full Review Acts of Godfrey (2012) 8% 2/5 EDIT “It chose the wrong form, and we're hiding a yawn.” – Little White Lies Jan 27, 2012 Full Review House of Tolerance (2011) 84% 2/5 EDIT “Erotically charged but overlong and untroubled by too much plotting.” – Empire Magazine Jan 23, 2012 Full Review Mother and Child (2009) 78% 2/5 EDIT “Mother and Child is too dutiful, overly sincere and its impressions are easily washed away.” – Little White Lies Jan 5, 2012 Full Review The Debt (2010) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Vaughn and Goldman chose the wrong vehicle.” – Little White Lies Sep 29, 2011 Full Review Fire in Babylon (2010) 91% 4/5 EDIT “As vibrant and exuberant as the subject deserves.” – Little White Lies May 19, 2011 Full Review Amreeka (2009) 87% 2/5 EDIT “In attempt to sustain momentum, the film begins to lurch from comic-book realism to join-the-dots melodrama.” – Little White Lies May 13, 2011 Full Review The Way (2010) 82% 3/5 EDIT “What the film lacks in intrigue or edge it atones for with subtle gradations of emotion from its leading man.” – Little White Lies May 13, 2011 Full Review Outside the Law (2010) 76% 1/5 EDIT “A tiring, didactic manipulation of history.” – Little White Lies May 5, 2011 Full Review The Eagle (2011) 39% 2/5 EDIT “A boring Roman Top Gun.” – Little White Lies Mar 24, 2011 Full Review Submarine (2010) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A shy, bright, wonderfully appealing film.” – Little White Lies Mar 17, 2011 Full Review Archipelago (2010) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Hogg is inviting us to dismiss these people as fundamentally different to ourselves. But sat in a dark auditorium, we are merely laughing at each other.” – Little White Lies Mar 3, 2011 Full Review Son of Babylon (2009) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Sometimes a film deserves deference. Sometimes, the only justified response is to bend one's knee. This is one of those films.” – Little White Lies Feb 11, 2011 Full Review Hereafter (2010) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Not his finest, but that's proof of how great this man is.” – Little White Lies Jan 27, 2011 Full Review
