Nomadland (2020) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Nomadland, with its beautiful simplicity, and wonderful performances, manages to be an elegant, profoundly moving film which shows the real value of living, rather than just surviving.” – CineVue Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A slow, beautifully shot, film noir mystery, Long Day's Journey into Night propels us into a transcendental state, where we don't really know what's real and what's imagination.” – CineVue Dec 27, 2019 Full Review Judy & Punch (2019) 77% 3/5 EDIT “For a debut, this is some achievement, resulting in a unique concoction of the genre to create a fantastical and shocking tale with a darkly funny twist.” – CineVue Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Blackbird (2019) 64% 4/5 EDIT “A moving drama showcasing a fantastic ensemble cast, this leaves a sweet taste lingering afterwards, alongside the sorrow.” – CineVue Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Synchronic (2019) 79% 3/5 EDIT “With believability being pushed too far, and the film's direction needing a tighter pace, even the surreal visual effects and trippy weirdness aren't quite enough to make it work.” – CineVue Oct 7, 2019 Full Review The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A seemingly mismatched road-trip buddy movie, Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz's The Peanut Butter Falcon is heartwarming and filled to the brim with humour and charm.” – CineVue Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Mari (2018) 64% 4/5 EDIT “The interplay of dance and emotional expression is beautiful and often extremely moving.” – CineVue Jun 21, 2019 Full Review The Flood (2019) 67% 4/5 EDIT “It's hard not to feel sympathy for those fleeing from war or fears for their lives who seek out a safer life, and The Flood is profoundly moving.” – CineVue Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Thunder Road (2018) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A hugely accomplished debut, and an innovative approach to filmmaking, Cummings will be one to watch for sure.” – CineVue May 30, 2019 Full Review Stan & Ollie (2018) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Coogan and Reilly's portrayals are thoroughly enjoyable and the visual gags work with a pleasant nostalgia, but for such cinematic icons, who were huge stars of their time, overall it feels a bit lightweight and reserved.” – CineVue May 23, 2019 Full Review Green Book (2018) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Even with admirable acting, and such a crowd-pleasing, inspirational story, Green Book essentially feels like civil-rights lip-service for a white audience... it's a disappointing portrayal of historical systemic racism.” – CineVue Feb 1, 2019 Full Review The Wife (2017) 85% 5/5 EDIT “Close's performance here... is a masterclass in screen acting. The restraint and control she has is an acting feat: wordless, fury held in her eyes, richly theatrical in its power.” – CineVue Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Been So Long (2018) 92% 5/5 EDIT “This London may be punctuated with dashes of neon and flashes of magic, but it also feels real because it's reflecting the true-to-life multicultural community.” – CineVue Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Lucky (2017) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Lucky turned out to be one of Stanton's final performances, and, as in his life, in Lucky we are left with a breathtakingly beautiful body of work to remember him by.” – CineVue Sep 12, 2018 Full Review The Happytime Murders (2018) 23% 3/5 EDIT “Where The Happytime Murders excels is in its humour, because it's very, very funny. But more than that, it's filthy. Utterly, gloriously, unapologetically, deeply, darkly, sexually filthy.” – CineVue Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Yardie (2018) 53% 4/5 EDIT “There are powerful performances by the cast, particularly Ameen; Idris has a deft hand working with actors, bringing out sharp focus and intensity in them all.” – CineVue Sep 1, 2018 Full Review The Escape (2017) 75% 4/5 EDIT “With some subtle commentary on class, as well as gender politics, The Escape is an impressive portrayal of existential angst and the disintegration of self, and Arterton's performance is breathtaking.” – CineVue Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Apostasy (2017) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A remarkable and authentic mediation on religion, belief, family and loss.” – CineVue Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Hotel Artemis (2018) 57% 4/5 EDIT “Hotel Artemis is a bold, loud, ambitious film, far cleverer than the bog-standard summer blockbuster fare, and with sharp humour and driving suspense it makes this pulpy-sci fi thriller a very fun watch.” – CineVue Jul 31, 2018 Full Review 7 Days in Entebbe (2018) 24% 3/5 EDIT “Ultimately, whilst it's not a 100% accurate representation of the real life Operation Entebbe, this account based on historian Saul David's book of the raid is a thrilling and captivating ride.” – CineVue May 17, 2018 Full Review A Wrinkle in Time (2018) 43% 4/5 EDIT “Ava DuVernay has done much more with the source material, and the result is a beautiful work full of hope and aspirations.” – CineVue Mar 30, 2018 Full Review Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) 42% 4/5 EDIT “Pacific Rim: Uprising does not disappoint: it does what it says on the tin. And boy, does this sequel deliver.” – CineVue Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Tomb Raider (2018) 52% 3/5 EDIT “[Alicia] Vikander is a good arse-kicking Croft, but with this Lara still seeking daddy's approval, her heroism is undermined, and ultimately the film is weaker for it.” – CineVue Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Mute (2017) 20% 2/5 EDIT “Mute is let down by a weak and bland script. Hopefully his next endeavour focuses more on story and less on dated Tarantino-style humour and sexist objectification.” – CineVue Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Whilst a Marvel story through and through, fitting perfectly into the MCU post-Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther stands alone as a masterpiece of filmmaking.” – CineVue Feb 14, 2018 Full Review
