Wish Upon (2017) |
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

Our Children (2012) |
Through Lafosse's vivid lensing and framing, Our Children exerts a steely grip. Yet the film remains restrained, detached and balanced ... - The List

Olympus Has Fallen (2013) |
It's derivative, it's cheesy, it's fantastically unconvincing, its patriotism unabashed, its politics reductive, its morals binary. - The List

Hard Boiled Sweets (2012) |
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

Cleanskin (2012) |

Chemical Brothers: Don't Think (2012) |
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
