Strictly Ballroom (1992) 88% EDIT “A delight.” – The Spectator Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Husbands and Wives (1992) 93% EDIT “Fractured and slight.” – The Spectator Aug 30, 2018 Full Review The Pleasure Principle (1991) EDIT “I began to scour the film for any kind of intellectual motivation whatsoever. There was none.” – The Spectator Jul 26, 2018 Full Review Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992) 17% EDIT “I laughed occasionally, but in pain.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Final Analysis (1992) 57% EDIT “Concluded on a level of humdrum normality which made everything that preceded it seem stupider than ever.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Voyager (1991) 56% EDIT “The whole thing came over as the worst kind of middle-aged fantasy.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review The Mambo Kings (1992) 82% EDIT “It is always maddening watching musical 'geniuses' in the cinema when their visibly incompetent efforts bear no relation to what you hear.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review The Adjuster (1991) 75% EDIT “Is it thought provoking? No.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Ruby (1992) 45% EDIT “I have to admit that I was so completely in sympathy with Aiello right from the start that I paid no attention to the moral and aesthetic shortcomings of the film as a whole.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Death in Brunswick (1990) 67% EDIT “[A] Coke-and-popcorn black comedy. I quite liked it. Quite.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Urga (1991) 100% EDIT “It was only in the second half... that the film seemed to lift off of its own accord, and I realised I was watching something exceptional.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Malcolm X (1992) 89% EDIT “There is too much of a painting-by-numbers, biopic feel to the way the story is unfolded for us.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Toys (1992) 26% EDIT “No child I know would benefit from seeing this work, and certainly no adult.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Into the West (1992) 75% EDIT “The pathos is powerful too, and one wonders why cinema managers don't sell packets of handkerchiefs along-side all the chocolate and ice-creams.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review The Last Boy Scout (1991) 46% EDIT “Violent, chauvinist and funny, and I enjoyed it tremendously.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review The Double Life of Veronique (1991) 86% EDIT “Things became too self-referential to stomach.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Used People (1992) 44% EDIT “Has the feel of a film which has been created, with the help of lifestyle questionnaires... [and] for all that, the end product is chilling rather than romantic.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review The Silent Touch (1993) EDIT “It's awful.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) 61% EDIT “The idea of going round casually shooting the people who make life boring appeals to me. For this reason alone I get great satisfaction out of the Lethal Weapon formula.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Straight Talk (1992) 46% EDIT “Listening to all her callers didn't do the trick for me. I left the cinema feeling more depressed than ever.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review The Lawnmower Man (1992) 35% EDIT “Gratuitously offensive.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Johnny Suede (1991) 27% EDIT “Has Odour-Eater hauteur.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review A League of Their Own (1992) 82% EDIT “It is gentle, weepy and mostly inoffensive, with an ending which celebrates old people.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Unforgiven (1992) 96% EDIT “The film has a kind of wise knowingness which may well mislead some people into thinking that its main aim is to debunk the western.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Simple Men (1992) 91% EDIT “Hal Hartley's formula is to tease us with what appears to be a succession of crazy red herring but, defying all credibility and charming us at the same time.” – The Spectator Jul 25, 2018 Full Review
