House of Gucci (2021) 61% 4/5 EDIT “House of Gucci is a remarkable story and lavish pot-boilers are right up my street -- especially when they're as well done as this.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 2, 2021 Full Review Shepherd (2021) 70% 3/5 EDIT “A lot of thought has gone into it -- the gorgeous settings and palette, the wonky Tubular Bells-like score and the recurrent motif of eyes -- and Hughes is very good. But the film is short on frights and too much is left unsaid.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 2, 2021 Full Review Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) 63% 2/5 EDIT “The first part of the film, led by the kids and child-like Gary, is the most successful. It works less well when it becomes an homage/imitation of the original film.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Petite Maman (2021) 97% 4/5 EDIT “French film-making genius Céline Sciamma has done it again. Her great skill in evoking emotion is taken to a new level, because in Petite Maman, she makes the audience complicit.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 24, 2021 Full Review The Colour Room (2021) 100% 3/5 EDIT “History is not just about the big moments. There are so many smaller events and lesser-known people, especially women, who shape the world in which we live. Claire McCarthy's film is about one such woman.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 18, 2021 Full Review King Richard (2021) 90% 4/5 EDIT “This authorised version of the sisters' story does gloss over some of Richard's unorthodox methods. However, it is still a remarkable tale, the cast are great, and the 146-minute run time flies by.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 18, 2021 Full Review Red Notice (2021) 37% 3/5 EDIT “A classic of either the heist or action-comedy genre it is not, but, it works as a forgettable, unchallenging watch.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Chloé Zhao's take on the Marvel Universe is a far cry from her last film, Nomadland. While Eternals has its moments, it is not one of the Marvel greats.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Spencer (2021) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Stewart is excellent. Her speech and mannerisms are uncanny at times.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Love Yourself Today (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “With plenty of concert footage, the film is a must for Dempsey fans. In fact, even if you've never heard one of his songs, the generous sharing of hard-earned wisdom makes for an uplifting watch.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 11, 2021 Full Review The Courier (2020) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The cast is very good but -- little surprise -- it's Cumberbatch who steals the show.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 4, 2021 Full Review The Rescue (2021) 96% 5/5 EDIT “This well-made, fascinating film tells a story which is built around all of the best things about humanity: kindness, bravery, endurance, ingenuity and cooperation.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 4, 2021 Full Review The Boss Baby: Family Business (2021) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Sure it's milking the first film's success, but it works well and kids of pretty much any age, and their accompanying adults, will enjoy the humour, fun and animation.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Passing (2021) 91% 3/5 EDIT “It has some fascinating themes, like race-generated shame. Negga shines and Thompson is very good but her character is a bit thankless. However after a powerful start, the story sags in the middle.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Dear Evan Hansen (2021) 28% 2/5 EDIT “It is an interesting premise for a horror. It is a weird idea for an inspirational story.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Riverdance: The Animated Adventure (2021) 67% 4/5 EDIT “There is humour, a little moralising, and Riverdancing giant elks, so what's not to like? Super sweet, it's little-kid and parent friendly -- and tweens should sneakily enjoy it too.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Monster (2019) 100% EDIT “This is very effective in channelling the suffering that people endured -- not just the hunger, but how hardship, despair and isolation can diminish us.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 15, 2021 Full Review The Addams Family 2 (2021) 28% 3/5 EDIT “It's not a classic, but it is fun.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Deadly Cuts (2021) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Alongside the dirty jokes, there are some really clever lines. It has that Derry Girls confidence of being utterly place-specific without pandering to other audiences.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Sweetheart (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Marley Morrison's debut feature is aptly titled, for it is very sweet. The film, written and directed by Morrison, is a familiar tale, well told -- and with plenty of laughs and bittersweet observations.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 15, 2021 Full Review S...house (2020) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Overall it's clever, wise, sometimes funny, and always sweet.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Gagarine (2020) 95% 4/5 EDIT “What does it all mean? It's about dreams, belonging, and vulnerability, all wrapped up in how the future becomes the past.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 7, 2021 Full Review Voyagers (2021) 25% 3/5 EDIT “All in all, a serviceable YA sci-fi story.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 7, 2021 Full Review No Time to Die (2021) 83% EDIT “Overall, No Time To Die is well worth the wait and a worthy end to the reign of Craig's excellent Bond.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 7, 2021 Full Review The Green Knight (2021) 89% 4/5 EDIT “The Green Knight is epic, gorgeous, philosophical, existential and at times obscure.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Sep 30, 2021 Full Review
