Shadow (2018) 94% A- EDIT “A beautiful, thrilling return to form.” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Stan & Ollie (2018) 92% C+ EDIT “It's hard not to feel like there's something of a missed opportunity here, a film truly deserving of the excellent performances at its center.” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Outlaw King (2018) 63% B EDIT “Mackenzie proves here he can work on a significant canvas with a film that must rank as one of Netflix's more satisfying bigger-budget ventures to date.” – The Playlist Oct 18, 2018 Full Review The Breaker Upperers (2018) 89% B+ EDIT “Most importantly of all: it's funny. Really, really funny, consistently and constantly. The pair are a wonderful double-act on screen.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Happy New Year, Colin Burstead (2018) 86% A- EDIT “There's not a bum note among the cast, and DP Laurie Rose continues to be Wheatley's most valuable weapon, making a set-up that could feel theatrical prove genuinely cinematic.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Dragged Across Concrete (2018) 76% C- EDIT “Maybe that's nihilism rather than bigotry, but the secret about nihilism is that it's incredibly boring to watch on screen.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Been So Long (2018) 92% B EDIT “Few things make the heart sink in advance than 'low-budget British musical,' but it's a credit to Krishnan, Walker and the rest of the team that, after a slightly rocky start, I felt fully won over by the end of the film.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Himizu (2011) 100% B EDIT “An important, and fitfully great, picture.” – The Playlist Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Bang the Drum Slowly (1973) 90% EDIT “There's a low-key, melancholy feel to the film, thanks in part to De Niro's turn, which never patronizes his character or begs for sympathy.” – IndieWire May 31, 2018 Full Review Good Manners (2017) 96% B+ EDIT “Pulling off an ambitious mash-up of genres like "Good Manners" is no easy feat - that Dutra and Rojas pull it off so successfully suggests we'll be hearing a lot more from them down the road.” – The Playlist Oct 13, 2017 Full Review Foxtrot (2017) 94% A EDIT “It's a film that can swing between absurdist humor and brutal gut-punch sadness, in a way that's rare and, at times, truly profound.” – The Playlist Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Thoroughbreds (2017) 87% A- EDIT “One of the most assured and impressive American debut movies of the year.” – The Playlist Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Dark River (2017) 81% C+ EDIT “Clio Barnard has a long career ahead of her, but "Dark River" seems destined to be remembered, years now, as a minor work in her filmography.” – The Playlist Oct 9, 2017 Full Review 1918: Journey's End (2018) 91% B+ EDIT “It's an adaptation that, if not quite a classic, deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the best films to take on the subject.” – The Playlist Oct 9, 2017 Full Review Ghost Stories (2017) 85% B- EDIT “Dyson and Nyman might not have a smash the size of the stage version of "Ghost Stories" on their hands, but they've more than done it justice, and there'll certainly be a willing, horror-friendly audience ready to jump out of their skins for this.” – The Playlist Oct 6, 2017 Full Review The LEGO Batman Movie (2017) 89% C+ EDIT “Lord knows the superhero genre could use some fun poked at it and we were psyched to see the film, but while there's some fun to be had, it can't help but feel like a missed opportunity.” – The Playlist Feb 4, 2017 Full Review T2 Trainspotting (2017) 81% C EDIT “A nostalgic, but slight and messy sequel.” – The Playlist Jan 19, 2017 Full Review Allied (2016) 60% C EDIT “Big-budget bluster careens through the emotional premise of the movie, and it's not helped by the casting.” – The Playlist Nov 21, 2016 Full Review The Last Laugh (2016) 98% B+ EDIT “By the end, it ends up feeling like as definitive a film on comedy and the Holocaust as you could ever want.” – The Playlist Oct 16, 2016 Full Review Nocturama (2016) 82% B EDIT “It's certainly a big step forward for Bonello ... but that it only ends up being a good movie is kind of a bummer given how close to greatness it comes.” – The Playlist Oct 13, 2016 Full Review Mindhorn (2016) 92% B EDIT “A MacGruber-style cult following at least seems guaranteed.” – The Playlist Oct 13, 2016 Full Review On the Road (2016) 50% D- EDIT “9 Songs but without the explicit sex, and something that feels tossed-off and half-thought-out.” – The Playlist Oct 10, 2016 Full Review Trolls (2016) 76% C- EDIT “Hard to see the film as anything more than a day-glo headache, something that exists principally to sell toys and soundtracks.” – The Playlist Oct 9, 2016 Full Review The Young Offenders (2016) 100% B+ EDIT “A raucous, energetic and often hilarious film that's likely to play in a big way with audiences wherever in the world it ends up.” – The Playlist Oct 9, 2016 Full Review The Levelling (2016) 94% A EDIT “It isn't just one of the best debut films of the year, but one of the year's best films, period.” – The Playlist Oct 9, 2016 Full Review
