The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Such a wonderfully entertaining and rather charming film.” – HeyUGuys Mar 3, 2019 Full Review The Artist (2011) 95% 4/5 EDIT “The Artist is not at its core a cinematic essay piece or simply an indulgent slice of self-reflexism but an intoxicating story told with skill and humour.” – HeyUGuys Feb 17, 2015 Full Review Unbroken (2014) 53% 4/5 EDIT “The array of strong performances do justice to a story has been floating around Hollywood for decades.” – HeyUGuys Dec 24, 2014 Full Review Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “Committed performances, finely nuanced filmmaking choices and an absorbingly epic scope all add up to something quite extraordinary.” – HeyUGuys May 28, 2013 Full Review All Is Lost (2013) 95% 4/5 EDIT “For the most part The Immigrant is works in an incredibly satisfying and affecting manner.” – HeyUGuys May 27, 2013 Full Review The Immigrant (2013) 85% 4/5 EDIT “For the most part The Immigrant is works in an incredibly satisfying and affecting manner.” – HeyUGuys May 27, 2013 Full Review Nebraska (2013) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Payne directs the film in a relatively uncluttered manner, ensuring the film plays out as a slowly unravelling elegant narrative.” – HeyUGuys May 27, 2013 Full Review Like Father, Like Son (2013) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Koreeda continues to excel with Like Father, Like Son in developing a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging film out of delicate observational drama.” – HeyUGuys May 23, 2013 Full Review Only God Forgives (2013) 41% 2/5 EDIT “Only God Forgives is actually a pretty drudging affair and even at just ninety minutes it really drags.” – HeyUGuys May 23, 2013 Full Review Monsoon Shootout (2013) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Monsoon Shootout shows so much promise early on but very quickly disintegrates.” – HeyUGuys May 22, 2013 Full Review Something in the Air (2012) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Something in the Air is somewhat too ambitious within its aims, fitting too much in to its two hour running time.” – HeyUGuys May 22, 2013 Full Review Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Inside Llewyn Davis is a quiet triumph of a film.” – HeyUGuys May 21, 2013 Full Review Wara no tate (Shield of Straw) (2013) 45% 3.5/5 EDIT “Miike rarely dips too far below the surface but this all gives interesting flavour to what is already a very enjoyable thriller.” – HeyUGuys May 21, 2013 Full Review Behind the Candelabra (2013) 94% 5/5 EDIT “The film feels like an epic biopic, with so much detail, humour and emotion crammed in.” – HeyUGuys May 21, 2013 Full Review The Dance of Reality (2013) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Jodorowsky has crafted a beautiful bricolage which is both easy to digest and engage with and also unlike anything you have seen before. An absolute marvel.” – HeyUGuys May 19, 2013 Full Review Young & Beautiful (2013) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Jeune & Jolie is an engaging character piece, with the excellent central performance of Vacth and some handsome and often understated cinematography from Pascal Marti being the main highlights.” – HeyUGuys May 19, 2013 Full Review Heli (2013) 58% 4/5 EDIT “A dark tale, Heli is certainly not easy viewing but Escalante's bleak journey is one worth taking, for its raw and intense power is often rather extraordinary.” – HeyUGuys May 17, 2013 Full Review The Bling Ring (2013) 59% 2/5 EDIT “The young cast impress greatly at times and their delivery of some of the more amusing lines with a pout and a "like totally" help make The Bling Ring something of an enjoyable experience, despite it's flimsiness.” – HeyUGuys May 16, 2013 Full Review Simon Killer (2012) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Simon Killer is as juvenile as the behaviour of its central character, but thankfully its weaker moments are reasonably scarce and for the most part the film is an interesting, if a little surface level, character study that is difficult to shake off.” – HeyUGuys Apr 14, 2013 Full Review Safe Haven (2013) 13% 1/5 EDIT “The film is for the most part an exhausting slog through clichd characters and formulaic writing that is near impossible to take at all seriously.” – HeyUGuys Feb 14, 2013 Full Review The Loved Ones (2009) 98% EDIT “The Loved Ones has a lot to offer in wit, style and entertainment and I can highly recommend it.” – HeyUGuys Jan 8, 2013 Full Review Reality (2012) 81% 3/5 EDIT “As shallow as the televisual waste matter that provides its subject Reality is a well made but often empty effort from Garrone.” – HeyUGuys Oct 19, 2012 Full Review The Sessions (2012) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “A warm and compelling tale told in a simple manner, The Sessions is a rewarding if somewhat slight film with wide appeal.” – HeyUGuys Oct 17, 2012 Full Review Loves of Pharaoh (1922) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “Loves of Pharaoh is a little simplistic and lightweight but there are enough really great scenes to elevate the film beyond mere spectacle.” – HeyUGuys Oct 16, 2012 Full Review Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012) 71% 2/5 EDIT “Celeste and Jesse Forever is not an affront to cinema or anything of the sort but it is mediocre from beginning to end.” – HeyUGuys Oct 16, 2012 Full Review
