Faces Places (2017)
Faces Places bubbles with irrepressible charm.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
When I first heard about a sequel to Sicario – one of my favourite films of 2015 – my first thought was ‘why does this need to exist?’ Having seen the film, I don’t have a satisfactory answer to that question.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – the Park is Gone, and So is Any Modicum of Intelligence
Perhaps if Fallen Kingdom had nothing to do with Jurassic Park – if it were, say, titled Dinosaur Adventure – I could’ve enjoyed it. At least on the level that you enjoy an incredibly stupid film.
Tag (2018)
I wish there were more studio comedies like Tag.
The Incredibles 2 (2018)
Pixar have got their mojo back.
Ocean’s Eight (2018)
Ocean’s Eight might be a heist film, but the real scam here is the film itself.
Hereditary Upends the Familiar Rhythms of Horror Films
Like many horror films, Hereditary corrupts the familial safety of domesticity, but it inverts the traditional perspective.
Chappaquiddick (2017)
Chappaquiddick is a contemporary example of how superb filmmaking can elevate middling screenplays.
Mom and Dad (2017)
Half the time you feel like you’re watching a masterfully crafted bit of art-action; the other half it’s a shambolic mess barely held together by spit, sticky tape … and the sheer force of will of Nicolas Cage at his most unhinged.
Solo: The First Ordinary Star Wars Movie
Solo is the first Star Wars film – sorry, Star Wars Story – to feel ordinary.
