Vampire Cleanup Department (Gao geung jing dou fu) (2017) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Part Buffy, a little Ghostbusters, a dash of Harry Potter, and all Hong Kong midnight-movie weirdness” – The Skinny Jun 27, 2017 Full Review Folk Hero & Funny Guy (2016) 73% 2/5 EDIT “There are a few genuinely funny moments, but ultimately Folk Hero... is too bland to leave much of an impression.” – The Skinny Feb 17, 2017 Full Review Lion (2016) 84% 3/5 EDIT “An old-fashioned, crowd-pleasing film that succeeds on its own admittedly less-than-ambitious terms.” – The Skinny Jan 16, 2017 Full Review Kids in Love (2016) 38% 1/5 EDIT “The only thing these 'kids' seem to be in love with is their own sense of entitlement.” – The Skinny Jun 24, 2016 Full Review Yoga Hosers (2016) 26% 2/5 EDIT “Relying on a host of sub-Austin Powers gags, Yoga Hosers might be appropriately described as good-natured meta-awfulness.” – The Skinny Jun 21, 2016 Full Review Maggie's Plan (2015) 86% 3/5 EDIT “The most charming surprise is the peculiar friendship between the two female romantic sometimes-rivals; Moore and Gerwig have a surprising chemistry in polar opposite roles.” – The Skinny Jun 19, 2016 Full Review The Fits (2015) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Holmer's principle lyrical tool is her young star, whose luminous, almond-shaped eyes veritably burn with an intense clarity of purpose.” – The Skinny Jun 19, 2016 Full Review Slash (2016) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Slash never feels exploitive of a subculture that could have been mined simply for cheap laughs and it treats its characters, even minor ones, with similar respect.” – The Skinny Jun 16, 2016 Full Review Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Quirky outsider comedy is clearly Waititi's forte, and here it's polished to an effortlessly funny, confident and crowd-pleasing shine.” – The Skinny Jun 16, 2016 Full Review Tommy's Honour (2016) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Tommy's Honour might drag along the journey to its tragic conclusion, but both [Jack] Lowden and [Peter] Mullan rescue it from becoming hopelessly mired in the rough.” – The Skinny Jun 16, 2016 Full Review One Floor Below (2015) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Mauntean attempts to examine hard truths about masculine insecurity, but Sandu's ethical conundrum doesn't feel like one at all.” – The Skinny Mar 8, 2016 Full Review Mustang (2015) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Mustang is a wilful act of political aggression as much as a study of female subordination.” – The Skinny Feb 29, 2016 Full Review Hyena Road (2015) 57% 2/5 EDIT “While it's not American Sniper, it still seems like a missed opportunity.” – The Skinny Feb 18, 2016 Full Review No Home Movie (2015) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Akerman creates feelings of both intimacy and aloof documentation; the digital images often feel overly vivid, coldly austere, surveilling.” – The Skinny Feb 16, 2016 Full Review The Danish Girl (2015) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Hooper's delicate and decorous film is virtually sustained by the magnetism of Eddie Redmayne's lead performance.” – The Skinny Jan 7, 2016 Full Review Daddy's Home (2015) 30% 1/5 EDIT “Watch if you enjoy watching talented people waste their time, and also enjoy wasting yours.” – The Skinny Jan 7, 2016 Full Review Black Mass (2015) 74% 2/5 EDIT “All it really accomplishes is the heady task of making one of the most wanted criminals in U.S. history a boring Hollywood trope.” – The Skinny Nov 19, 2015 Full Review Suffragette (2015) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Compelling throughout, mostly due to the full-bodied strength and sensitivity of Carey Mulligan's extraordinary central performance.” – The Skinny Oct 5, 2015 Full Review Captive (2015) 28% 2/5 EDIT “Captive seems more concerned with delivering empty platitudes than with even beginning to address the complex root causes of human suffering.” – The Skinny Sep 24, 2015 Full Review 3 Women (1977) 83% 5/5 EDIT “Altman's signature telephoto framing, omnipresent murals depicting demon-like creatures, and an atonal score add a creeping menace to uncanny California desert settings.” – The Skinny Jul 28, 2015 Full Review Jauja (2014) 88% 5/5 EDIT “With its richly saturated, meticulously composed sublime landscapes, this might be the year's best-looking film.” – The Skinny Jun 4, 2015 Full Review Tender (2014) 3/5 EDIT “Featuring a bittersweet score by Nick Cave, Tender captures a beautiful sense of the power and peace that comes from what it feels like to belong, even in death.” – The Skinny Mar 19, 2015 Full Review The Keeper of Lost Causes (2013) 70% 2/5 EDIT “It sleepwalks through an icky narrative that could have been lifted from any slick and soulless television crime drama.” – The Skinny Dec 15, 2014 Full Review Kidnapped (1974) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Its stripped-down malevolence is certainly effective, and the maniacal performances provide the kitsch.” – The Skinny Nov 5, 2014 Full Review The Naked City (1948) 86% 4/5 EDIT “If this is noir, it's the most brightly lit, least antisocial noir ever.” – The Skinny Nov 5, 2014 Full Review
