Some Advice On How To Be The Next David Stratton, From David Stratton
Just a couple Daves talkin’ about movies.
David Stratton: A Cinematic Life (2017)
A Cinematic Life aligns Australia’s (second) favourite critic’s biography with cinematic history
‘Kong: Skull Island’ Has A Powerful Roar But Nothing To Say
Kong: Skull Island isn’t interested in saying anything more substantive than, “Whoa, did you see that!?”
I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore (2017)
An action-comedy perfectly suited to chucking on while kicking back on the couch at home.
New Blood in a Deteriorating Body: Logan
At this point, a superheo film eschewing setting up spinoffs and post-credit scenes in favour of robust character development feels almost revolutionary.
Embrace of the Serpent (2015)
I understand why critics love this film, but Ciro Guerra’s diptych portrait of the imperilled Amazon never struck a nerve with me.
‘T2’ Isn’t Just A Great Sequel, It Might Change How You Think Of ‘Trainspotting’
T2: Trainspotting succeeds because it plays like a darker, sadder, tireder, older version of the original film.
Life, Animated (2016)
Life, Animated is too intent on crafting an inspirational story of triumph over adversity.
Miss Sloane (2016)
Miss Sloane prioritises politicking over politics.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Hidden Figures, the story of three black, female mathematicians making history in the sixties, is one hell of a crowd-pleaser.
