Perfect Blue (1997) 84% 4/5 EDIT “In today's social media-reliant society, Perfect Blue's questions of selfhood, construct and celebrity hold more significance than ever before.” – The Skinny Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Split (2017) 79% 2/5 EDIT “The latest from The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan, Split has as many fractured identities as its main character” – The Skinny May 18, 2017 Full Review The Mermaid (2016) 95% 3/5 EDIT “Chow habitués will be primed for hyperbolic acting, ludicrous wirework, ugly CGI and outlandish action sequences. Rest assured, those points will be satisfied.” – The Skinny Aug 3, 2016 Full Review Dragon Inn (1967) 100% 4/5 EDIT “What sets Dragon Inn apart is the deadly precision of its dialogue - nimble wit that stalks, pounces and often prevails in tandem with the action” – The Skinny Nov 3, 2015 Full Review The Interview (2014) 51% 1/5 EDIT “Demonstrates an abject carelessness which is more offensive than any other wrongdoing of which The Interview has been accused.” – The Skinny Jun 4, 2015 Full Review What We Do in the Shadows (2014) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Waititi and Clement pry open the coffin lid and unleash a box-fresh, fang-sharp comedy which goes straight for the jugular.” – The Skinny Mar 31, 2015 Full Review Intolerance (1916) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Intolerance is undoubtedly cinematic paradigm, but more than this, it's a window through which we can peer 100 years into the past.” – The Skinny Dec 5, 2014 Full Review Cheap Thrills (2013) 87% 4/5 EDIT “These characters are achingly familiar, a reminder that all of us are willing to play our own private, primal games of commerce and sacrifice to get what we want from life.” – The Skinny Jun 4, 2014 Full Review Drinking Buddies (2013) 84% 3/5 EDIT “It finds its groove with sincere, nuanced performances and a realistic attitude to romance as refreshing as a fistful of Citra hops.” – The Skinny Mar 6, 2014 Full Review Future My Love (2012) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Flicks gracefully between documentary, road trip and love story.” – The Skinny Nov 13, 2013 Full Review From Up on Poppy Hill (2011) 87% 2/5 EDIT “From Up on Poppy Hill's protagonists emerge as unexpectedly facetless, especially from a studio with such a vibrant and morally complex back catalogue.” – The Skinny Jul 31, 2013 Full Review Breathe In (2013) 56% 4/5 EDIT “It's a simple refrain, and familiar, but played this well it resonates like a symphony.” – The Skinny Jun 19, 2013 Full Review Much Ado About Nothing (2012) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Whedon's inventive framing, delicate means of shifting focus and glowing, ethereal use of light make for a stylish and absolutely credible vision, of which much ado would be well-earned.” – The Skinny Feb 27, 2013 Full Review Bullhead (2011) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Between Nicolas Karakatsanis's agile camerawork and an uncanny deployment of silence, Roskam teases open bare, fluid spaces in which Schoenarts' intense performance can really writhe.” – The Skinny Jan 30, 2013 Full Review The King of Pigs (2012) 74% 3/5 EDIT “Backgrounds smoulder, and a kinetic manipulation of space facets The King of Pigs' frames. Its characters, however, remain flat.” – The Skinny Jan 24, 2013 Full Review Gremlins (1984) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Director Joe Dante tells a simple story with anarchic spirit, rabid humour and painstaking puppetry to delightfully messy effect.” – The Skinny Dec 6, 2012 Full Review
