Okay Madam (2020) 3/5 EDIT “A light and mostly empty affair, OK! Madam nonetheless succeeds in its efforts to entertain and generate laughs thanks to charming performances and fast-paced action.” – South China Morning Post Nov 24, 2020 Full Review The Translators (2019) 71% 3.5/5 EDIT “For a movie about literary translation set mostly inside a mansion, The Translators is tense, thrilling stuff.” – South China Morning Post Feb 25, 2020 Full Review Gemini Man (2019) 27% 2/5 EDIT “It may be easier to forgive the below par special effects if everything else about Gemini Man - story, acting, action sequences - is top notch, but that's also not the case.” – South China Morning Post Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Mortal Engines (2018) 25% 2.5/5 EDIT “Visuals aside, Mortal Engines is mediocre through and through.” – South China Morning Post Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Killing for the Prosecution (Kensatsu gawa no zainin) (2018) 2/5 EDIT “The 122-minute drama is made tedious by too many subplots and too much dry dialogue.” – South China Morning Post Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Crazy Rich Asians (2018) 91% 3/5 EDIT “A solid, fun romantic comedy about very rich, very good-looking people whose dramas and obstacles are mostly self-inflicted.” – South China Morning Post Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “As an action comedy, Ant-Man and the Wasp hits all the marks.” – South China Morning Post Jul 7, 2018 Full Review Uncle Drew (2018) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “Director Charles Stone III chooses to show the various games in montage format, which keeps the pace flowing but robs the film of any emotion.” – South China Morning Post Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Molly's Game (2017) 82% 2.5/5 EDIT “Molly's Game is purely for fans of Sorkin or Chastain.” – South China Morning Post Mar 6, 2018 Full Review Call Me by Your Name (2017) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Call Me by Your Name sees Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino do his home country proud with an absolutely gorgeous depiction of the northern Italian countryside.” – South China Morning Post Feb 24, 2018 Full Review Lady Bird (2017) 99% 3.5/5 EDIT “Lady Bird is a charming, graceful and humorous story about growing up in a small town.” – South China Morning Post Feb 24, 2018 Full Review A Fantastic Woman (2017) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “A story of grief, alienation and identity from a perspective rarely seen in any medium, this Chilean drama is easily one of the most important, and intimate, films of recent years.” – South China Morning Post Feb 19, 2018 Full Review BPM (Beats Per Minute) (2017) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “A granular procedural about a group from the LGBT community fighting for equality, but one with which marginalised groups around the world today can easily draw parallels.” – South China Morning Post Jan 1, 2018 Full Review Paddington 2 (2017) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “Paddington 2 is ultimately about the importance of remaining civil and tolerant despite a world increasingly being overwhelmed by prejudice and bigotry.” – South China Morning Post Dec 18, 2017 Full Review Rebel in the Rye (2017) 28% 2.5/5 EDIT “Yet another cliché-ridden story of the tortured male genius.” – South China Morning Post Nov 1, 2017 Full Review Geostorm (2017) 18% 2.5/5 EDIT “The climate change angle is mere window dressing for what is essentially another 'Gerard Butler action film'.” – South China Morning Post Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Golden Orchestra (2016) 4/5 EDIT “Toru Hosokawa's Golden Orchestra is that rare light, charming comedy that not only brings laughs, but will also resonate with audiences on a deeper, personal level.” – South China Morning Post Sep 27, 2017 Full Review American Assassin (2017) 34% 2/5 EDIT “It's hard to gauge whether [this] is a shallow tale lionising American patriotism or a condemnation of the US government's eagerness to recruit angry macho men consumed by jingoism.” – South China Morning Post Sep 27, 2017 Full Review The Zookeeper's Wife (2017) 64% 3/5 EDIT “The Zookeeper's Wife is a story worth telling - especially given today's political climate in the US - because it's a story of love, tolerance and courage taking on fascism.” – South China Morning Post Sep 5, 2017 Full Review A Dog's Purpose (2017) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “While A Dog's Purpose means well, it ultimately tries too hard to be more than just a standard 'cute pet film', instead ending up pretentious and manipulative.” – South China Morning Post Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Dangal Yuddham (2016) 89% 4/5 EDIT “This feel-good sports drama based on true stories entertains and, more importantly, could empower young women to pursue male-dominated industries.” – South China Morning Post Aug 19, 2017 Full Review Bad Genius (2017) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “A highly entertaining and surprisingly tense Thai caper revolving around a quartet of students who devise a test-cheating scheme for profit.” – South China Morning Post Aug 12, 2017 Full Review Their Finest (2016) 90% 4/5 EDIT “This is as much a feminist picture as it is an excellent drama.” – South China Morning Post Jul 15, 2017 Full Review Wonder Woman (2017) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Gadot was mostly one-dimensional and stoic in her 20 minutes of screen time in Batman v Superman, but here she is lively and exudes a sense of wonder.” – South China Morning Post May 29, 2017 Full Review Neruda (2016) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Pablo Larrain's story of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda is shot with a lush, rich colour palette and evokes a sense of humour that is usually missing in films of this ilk.” – South China Morning Post May 23, 2017 Full Review
