Tell It to the Bees (2018) 49% 3/5 EDIT “Aside from that, it's a touching and tender tale, seasoned with perhaps a spoonful too much schmaltz.” – Irish Independent Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Pavarotti (2019) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Plenty for fans to enjoy here, but the uninitiated who are looking for a good yarn may be left wanting.” – Irish Independent Jul 18, 2019 Full Review The Lion King (2019) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Audiences will get exactly what they expect, but that could turn out to be its ultimate undoing.” – Irish Independent Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Stuber (2019) 43% 3/5 EDIT “A zingy script is brought to life by Nanjiani, arguably the comedic backbone of the whole movie.” – Irish Independent Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Annabelle Comes Home (2019) 64% 2/5 EDIT “There are freaks, creaks and shrieks, but Annabelle Comes Home has a tangible problem with plot and pacing, which is fairly unforgivable in horror.” – Irish Independent Jul 12, 2019 Full Review The Dead Don't Die (2019) 55% 3/5 EDIT “Where his previous outing Paterson (2016) was low on plot but cinematically rich on the lips, Dead Don't Die is a film attempting subversion, yet suffering from identity crisis. Jarmusch says it best when he says nothing at all.” – Irish Independent Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Summer 1993 (2017) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Summer 1993 is a heart-wrenching triumph that gives full dues to the complexity of childhood trauma, as well as human fallibility.” – Irish Independent Jul 23, 2018 Full Review Generation Wealth (2018) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Had Greenfield focused on her myriad brilliant subjects and delved a little deeper into their lives, Generation Wealth might have been a better film.” – Irish Independent Jul 23, 2018 Full Review Hotel Artemis (2018) 57% 3/5 EDIT “This is one of those movies whose script and one-liners have somehow fallen through the cracks in the directorial tussle for style over substance.” – Irish Independent Jul 23, 2018 Full Review First Reformed (2017) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Yet in trying to bring the story to a powerful climax, Schrader lets things get too hectic and surreal, a final psychedelic scene undoing much of the film's hard work.” – Irish Independent Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Skyscraper (2018) 48% 3/5 EDIT “The scenes run into the faintly ludicrous, but despite their video game qualities, are still wild fun nonetheless.” – Irish Independent Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Swimming With Men (2018) 52% 2/5 EDIT “One can't help but feel it's a missed opportunity - not just to say something of note about masculinity, but to convey the true vagaries of middle age.” – Irish Independent Jul 6, 2018 Full Review The First Purge (2018) 55% 3/5 EDIT “Yet The First Purge befalls a pacing problem: the first half of the film builds with tension as the dawn of the experiment looms. After that, it's a ceaseless spree of visceral, screeching violence.” – Irish Independent Jul 6, 2018 Full Review The Martian (2015) 91% 2/5 EDIT “It's the nearest most of us will get to feeling like we've lived on Mars for an eternity. And that's not saying a lot.” – The Herald (Ireland) Apr 18, 2017 Full Review Survivor (2015) 8% 3/5 EDIT “Ultimately, Survivor is not so much high-octane action as a slow fizzle.” – The Herald (Ireland) May 24, 2016 Full Review Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 97% EDIT “The craziest, most delirious spectacle you're likely to lay eyes on this year.” – The Herald (Ireland) Mar 15, 2016 Full Review
