#AnneFrank. Parallel Stories (2019) 88% EDIT “Far too overwrought...sophisticated cinematography and editing aren't enough to provide a ramp to the, already broken, narrative.” – Film Companion May 24, 2022 Full Review The Wasteland (2021) 69% EDIT “The film constantly conflates darkness with fear, barren with loneliness, and silence with terror.” – Film Companion Jan 19, 2022 Full Review Outside the Wire (2021) 37% EDIT “The film has the narrative and creative range of a low-budget video game. It is exasperating and dull.” – Film Companion Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Pieces of a Woman (2020) 76% EDIT “Barring its manipulative structure, the film's performances and its spiritual commentary on grief deserve recognition.” – Film Companion Jan 26, 2021 Full Review The Prom (2020) 54% EDIT “...a touchstone for hokey and watery wokeness...” – Film Companion Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Operation Christmas Drop (2020) 50% EDIT “With its nauseating array of smiles and sunshine, the film takes the Christmas spirit a tad too seriously.” – Film Companion Nov 11, 2020 Full Review Enola Holmes (2020) 91% EDIT “...so gloriously weak that even an Enid Blyton-reading 10-year-old could solve it...” – Film Companion Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Landless (2020) EDIT “Documenting the Landless Workers' Movement in Brazil, the film offers a piercing critique on unjust capitalist establishments and inefficient judicial systems.” – Film Companion Jul 28, 2020 Full Review Hamilton (2020) 98% EDIT “Hamilton is an ambitious attempt at chronicling one of the most notoriously turbulent times in politics, and it is a pure, hypnotising spectacle...” – Film Companion Jul 7, 2020 Full Review Spirited Away (2001) 96% EDIT “It is a mix of the real and the surreal, enough to captivate the younger audiences and haunt the older ones.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review The Polar Express (2004) 55% EDIT “Director Robert Zemeckis adds tenderness to this roller-coaster ride of a train, the thrill and adrenaline are constantly offset with unrestrained emotional punches.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review Flushed Away (2006) 72% EDIT “Flushed Away is sweetly silly and consistent - it is the perfect story for a few hours' respite.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review Kung Fu Panda (2008) 87% EDIT “It's not the first or the last film to sermonise the idea of "never giving up," but there is a certain charm in seeing a collector of action figures, an indolent slug, turn into an animal-bashing Bruce Lee.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review Rango (2011) 88% EDIT “Animated spaghetti Westerns are few and far between and especially those that look like they've come straight out of Sergio Leone's filmography. The animation is meticulously detailed...” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review The Gruffalo (2009) EDIT “It is intimate and focused. It is not simply the action that shows the mouse's resilience, it is a combination of James Corden's compelling voiceover and phenomenal animations.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review Inside Out (2015) 98% EDIT “Even after having a narrative so magnified that it focuses on the mental faculties of one person, it remains universal and penetrating.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review The Book of Life (2014) 82% EDIT “Visually striking and colourful, The Book of Life is an enchanting story about a romance being withered by a conniving and greedy man.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review The Lovebirds (2020) 66% EDIT “The film does a good job of balancing the seemingly disparate genres - the humour levels the action well. But beyond that, it's all just obtuse clutter...” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review Klaus (2019) 95% EDIT “There is warmth in the wintry village and compassion amidst grudging communities.” – Film Companion May 26, 2020 Full Review Crimson Gold (2003) 88% EDIT “The film is equally psychological as it is political, we aren't just shown how he is discriminated against, we see his visceral reaction to it at every point, his struggle and the mounting resentment.” – Film Companion May 16, 2020 Full Review Offside (2006) 94% EDIT “Panahi interweaves their anxiety with the relatable urgency of watching a game.” – Film Companion May 16, 2020 Full Review This Is Not a Film (2010) 97% EDIT “... His anger is quiet and frustration restrained.” – Film Companion May 16, 2020 Full Review Taxi (2015) 96% EDIT “The car is the only spatial reference Panahi provides, and within that small vehicle, we are offered his silent dissent and resistance as well as his unquenchable need to make movies.” – Film Companion May 16, 2020 Full Review 3 Faces (2018) 98% EDIT “As a poem on despair and hopelessness is recited in the background, the film wrestles with some questions...” – Film Companion May 16, 2020 Full Review The Circle (2000) 94% EDIT “Panahi here unearths the everyday sexism of the country, of what it is like to be a woman in a society dominated by men.” – Film Companion May 15, 2020 Full Review
