Brothers' Nest (2018) James Robert Douglas With all of five speaking roles, and a single location, it's a work of pleasingly compact dimensions.

Unsane (2018) Harry Windsor The world of psychiatry is only a pretext for a Hitchcockian potboiler that plays with the audience's sense of the protagonist's identity and sanity.

Ready Player One (2018) James Robert Douglas While the references accumulate, it begins to feel as though the film is telling us that a person's identity can be indexed to a list of culture consumed.

Mary Magdalene (2018) Lauren Carroll Harris The problem with the film's "humanist" approach is that it's too... human-scaled. The result is a film made without magic or sublimity, in which reverence is replaced by diligence.

Sweet Country (2017) Rochelle Siemienowicz Sweet Country may inspire rage and shame in the viewer, but it's not an alienating film. With great confidence, Thornton invites his audience to enjoy a well-told tragic tale.

Phantom Thread (2017) Rochelle Siemienowicz The entire film is an acting master-class. Precisely delivered epigrammatic dialogue is interspersed with looks and gestures that speak a thousand words yet never say too much

The Post (2017) Lauren Carroll Harris Still, it's to his credit that Spielberg fleshes out what the revelations of these papers meant for the US at the time.

Justice League (2017) Cameron Williams A headache. A disorientating, nonsensical, hot mess barely tethered together by the digital blurs of DC Comics' heroes. These heroes appear to need saving from themselves.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) Lauren Carroll Harris Lanthimos is a surgical filmmaker of great opacity. He offers few signposts as to his characters' motivations, or his film's broader meanings - it's up to Farrell and Kidman to play the subtext.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017) Rochelle Siemienowicz It's a story about fathers and children, about memories and war. But it's the love story - problematic sexual politics and all - that feels so real.

It (2017) Cameron Williams Only glances the skin but never gets under it.

A Ghost Story (2017) Lauren Carroll Harris I feel real love for this film and its lost wandering creature.
Posted Aug 10, 2017  Edit critic review
Dunkirk (2017) Cameron Williams Tightly focused, even minimalist approach to telling the true tale of a military disaster and how hope was cultivated in the sands a mighty failure.
Posted Jul 19, 2017  Edit critic review
Baby Driver (2017) Cameron Williams The action film with the heart of a musical. Ask your local cinema to play it loud.
Posted Jul 19, 2017  Edit critic review
War Machine (2017) Lauren Carroll Harris Like the war itself, the film is all over the place, with scenes darting between action filmmaking, comedy and drama.
Posted Jul 17, 2017  Edit critic review
The Mummy (2017) Cameron Williams A film that approaches Cruise like it's 1996. Never settles into a groove and it's constantly suffering from an identity crisis.
