The Club (2015) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Ultimately, the most astonishing thing about The Club is not how it takes aim at the muddied history of the Catholic Church in Chile, but that it simultaneously, and just as effectively, serves as an allegory relating to a nation's political corruption.” – The List Mar 21, 2016 Full Review Antarctica: Ice and Sky (2015) 89% 4/5 EDIT “If there's a lesson to be learned from Ice and the Sky - beyond the obvious perils of ignoring the signs of climate change - it's of the importance of the research, drilling and testing that are behind the conclusions on offer.” – The List Dec 7, 2015 Full Review Futuro Beach (2014) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Futuro Beach resists easy definition; life is full of blurred lines and Anouz knows it.” – The List May 4, 2015 Full Review Paper Souls (2013) 40% 2/5 EDIT “A bit of a damp squib in comparison to its peers.” – The List Jan 15, 2015 Full Review Mary Is Happy, Mary Is Happy (2013) 71% 4/5 EDIT “If you survive past the blunt, uncompromising structure of the first third, you are rewarded with a beautifully peculiar tale that evokes the sensations and frustrations of youth with lyrical aplomb.” – The List Nov 17, 2014 Full Review Finding Fela (2014) 60% 2/5 EDIT “It's a film that's determined to demystify an enigma, but the sobering reality is that the most enlightening way into the mind of this artist is doubtlessly to listen to his records.” – The List Sep 1, 2014 Full Review Who is Dayani Cristal? (2013) 80% 2/5 EDIT “The ill-conceived structure and Bernal's anomalous presence sadly diminishes the impact of the material.” – The List Jul 22, 2014 Full Review A Long Way From Home (2013) 33% 2/5 EDIT “Gilbert's full length debut isn't a complete shambles but where passion and tumult should exist, there is only a misguided intent to be found.” – The List Dec 9, 2013 Full Review Computer Chess (2013) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Its hilarious yet sombre approach harks back to the world of Hal Hartley, whilst creating a wholly original and at times perplexing incarnation of American indie cinema.” – The List Nov 21, 2013 Full Review Pandora's Promise (2013) 64% 2/5 EDIT “Pandora's Promise gives up enough information to tease the curiosity of doubting individuals but unfortunately as a piece of subversive, cogent filmmaking - it's a box of empty promises.” – The List Nov 15, 2013 Full Review Vivan las Antipodas! (2011) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Perhaps a documentary to be more admired than loved.” – The List Nov 5, 2013 Full Review Nobody's Daughter Haewon (2013) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Nobody's Daughter Haewon is the Korean answer to Wong Kar Wai's Chunking Express, a moving statement of a country's people separated by the times.” – The List Oct 21, 2013 Full Review
