Taxi (2015) 96% 4/5 EDIT “A celebration of form and freedom of expression, this dashcam-shot treasure is an enjoyable if sometimes uneven ride.” – One Room With A View May 17, 2019 Full Review The Pearl Button (2015) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Far from conventional, this gorgeously soundtracked documentary is a treat for filmgoers willing to be engrossed by Malickian imagery...” – One Room With A View May 17, 2019 Full Review Mr. Holmes (2015) 88% 2/5 EDIT “Mr. Holmes just about gets the job done thanks to McKellen and Parker, but too many mediocre elements ensure this affair is a sad waste of a strong concept.” – One Room With A View May 17, 2019 Full Review Nasty Baby (2015) 68% 4/5 EDIT “Nasty Baby won't be for everybody, but offers plenty to think about for those willing to be swept along.” – One Room With A View May 16, 2019 Full Review The Look of Silence (2014) 96% 5/5 EDIT “A harrowing and humanitarian work, the culmination of Oppenheimer's ten-year effort to let the truth out deserves every superlative that can be thrown at it.” – One Room With A View May 16, 2019 Full Review Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) 97% 3/5 EDIT “Cobain's music and his striking artwork coalesce to help us understand his mind - however the rest of this documentary plays it a little too safe to take us much further.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review 2/5 EDIT “Despite its chilling and crisp visuals and strong performances across the board, Madonna eventually collapses under the weight of its repetitive and gratuitous rape scenes and unrelenting grimness.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Lamb (2015) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Based on Lamb's richly-deserved applause from the Cannes crowd at its premiere, Ethiopian film's first venture to Cannes will most assuredly not be its last.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Macbeth (2015) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Performance, setting, look, and sound successfully come together to generate the drama and monumental scale required of Kurzel to do justice to Shakespeare's work.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Dope (2015) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Dope works best as a flashy and whip-smart pop culture comedy, but falters with its multiple endings and the over-egging of its political message.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Fly Away Solo (2015) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Powerful and sweeping, Masaan is a vital and unforgettable watch. Only some slightly contrived plot elements hold it back from total greatness.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review I Am a Soldier (2015) 2/5 EDIT “A difficult film to define, individual reactions to Je Suis un Soldat will depend on your ability to form any sort of emotional reaction to its sense of coldness.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Personal, daring, and with much to say, here's hoping DoaTG can become a trailblazer for female-voiced coming-of-age tales in a genre in which they remain badly under-represented.” – One Room With A View May 4, 2019 Full Review The Bad Education Movie (2015) 63% 2/5 EDIT “The Bad Education Movie's crass humour will offer much to enjoy for fans of the series and Whitehall himself, but will do little for anyone not already on board.” – One Room With A View May 4, 2019 Full Review Censored Voices (2015) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Censored Voices is fascinating, thought provoking and emotional, though perhaps not as much as it could have been given the subject matter.” – One Room With A View May 4, 2019 Full Review He Named Me Malala (2015) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Touching, likeable and often life-affirming, HNMM keenly balances its themes and subject matter, and most importantly fully allows the warmth and grace of its subject shine through.” – One Room With A View May 4, 2019 Full Review Don't Grow Up (2015) 2/5 EDIT “Individual enjoyment of Don't Grow Up will vary depending on your tolerance of genre clichés and bad dialogue - as it stands this remains a case of what could have been.” – One Room With A View Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Red Leaves (2014) 3/5 EDIT “Red Leaves is a worthwhile film, both as a character study and as a look at the waning of a patriarchy - however the immigrant's experience seems incidental to all else.” – One Room With A View Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Lucifer (2014) 4/5 EDIT “Strange and intoxicating, those patient with Lucifer's offbeat approach will be rewarded as paradise is re-imagined in circular form.” – One Room With A View Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Tangerine (2015) 96% 4/5 EDIT “It's not much to look at, but you'll quickly move past it as the charm, humour and surprising heart of Tangerine wins you over.” – One Room With A View Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Take Me to the River (2015) 72% 3/5 EDIT “The dark and twisted Take Me To The River is an intriguing and enjoyable little drama - though very slight, and never entirely convincing in terms of its characters' motivations, behaviours or actions.” – One Room With A View Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Son of Saul (2015) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Technically astounding and emotionally resonant, only the feeling that we never fully understand Saul or his motivations (despite spending the entire film with him) lets Son of Saul down.” – One Room With A View Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Right Now, Wrong Then (2015) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Low-key and charming, Right Now, Wrong Then rewards with some understated and nuanced performances, and a sizeable dose of poignancy and emotional truth.” – One Room With A View Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans (2015) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Enjoyable and revealing, but it never quite feels like it's digging as deep as you'd like it to.” – One Room With A View Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Frame by Frame (2015) 93% 3/5 EDIT “The uplifting and humanistic Frame by Frame gives us some admirable insight into the practitioners behind the new-found journalistic freedom in a post-Taliban Afghanistan.” – One Room With A View Apr 19, 2019 Full Review
