Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Far from reprehensible, The Rise of Skywalker manages initially to evoke frustration, which evolves to a profound apathy defined by questions of what could've been.” – One Room With A View Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Toy Story 4 (2019) 96% 4/5 EDIT “It may derive from cynical commercial roots, but it's an undeniable pleasure to spend time with Woody and co. once more.” – One Room With A View Jun 26, 2019 Full Review The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) 52% 4/5 EDIT “Stiller delivers an enjoyable take on the modern man's existential crisis, aided greatly by stunning cinematography.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013) 61% 3/5 EDIT “An honourable and occasionally moving biopic of the late Mandela with strong performances by Elba and Harris.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “Lavishly shot and excessively scored, Unforgiven is perfectly passable.” – One Room With A View Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Thor: The Dark World (2013) 67% 3/5 EDIT “There's a real absence of mystique and depth as hit-and-miss jokes/sidekicks dominate, leaving the viewer pining for the subtler notes from its predecessor - or even from Iron Man 3.” – One Room With A View Jun 7, 2019 Full Review The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Nevertheless, the film and franchise will always thrive thanks to their phenomenal leading lady.” – One Room With A View Jun 4, 2019 Full Review The Armstrong Lie (2013) 82% 3/5 EDIT “An engaging and safe documentary from the Gibney factory.” – One Room With A View Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Gravity (2013) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Believe the hype.” – One Room With A View Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Kill Your Darlings (2013) 77% 4/5 EDIT “An electric debut full of energy and style echoing the confidence/competence of a seasoned pro.” – One Room With A View Jun 4, 2019 Full Review All Is Lost (2013) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Redford delivers a tour de force performance to ensure this beautifully simple idea enthralls throughout.” – One Room With A View Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Wild (2014) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Redemption in the modern age. There's confident direction from Vallée but little to truly delve into. Watch simply for a soulful and spellbinding Witherspoon.” – One Room With A View May 31, 2019 Full Review Love Is Strange (2014) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Charming, warming and occasionally frustrating. Love is Strange is transformed from a warm stage play into an honest, beautiful love story by its two outstanding leads.” – One Room With A View May 31, 2019 Full Review Fury (2014) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Raw and realistic, Fury's strength derives from its people whether in combat or its aftermath.” – One Room With A View May 31, 2019 Full Review Are You Here (2013) 6% 2/5 EDIT “Wilson and co. aim for something deep and profound, but there's nothing to be found here aside from disappointment and frustration” – One Room With A View May 17, 2019 Full Review Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) 25% 2/5 EDIT “You've seen worse; you've imagined better.” – One Room With A View May 17, 2019 Full Review Woman in Gold (2015) 58% 3/5 EDIT “Woman in Gold's balancing-act between sweet and saccharine is a fight to the end, with Mirren ensuring the former, and the film is (only just) the victor.” – One Room With A View May 16, 2019 Full Review 13 Minutes (2015) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Elser is an ocean lapping on to the beach. From above the sea is calm and serene, but underneath, the world swirls with chaos; Hirschbiegel's film replicates this to produce a fascinating, consuming drama.” – One Room With A View May 16, 2019 Full Review Chasuke's Journey (2015) 80% 3/5 EDIT “When it's good, in the first half, Ten No Chasuke is a rip-roaring classic alive with innovation and humour. When it's bad, you wished you had stayed in the beginning.” – One Room With A View May 16, 2019 Full Review Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015) 14% 2/5 EDIT “An unfunny and wholly unnecessary sequel.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Poltergeist (2015) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Rockwell and DeWitt are solid and there's fresh blood in this reboot at first. Yet, the dependency on lazy scare tactics neuter this reboot, making you yearn for the original.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Man Up (2015) 81% 4/5 EDIT “There's nothing new here, but that's okay. Man Up is an unchallenging yet refreshingly nice and funny piece of cinema.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Survivor (2015) 8% 2/5 EDIT “Firmly within the so-bad-it's-alright genre, Survivor is a beast of a simpler time. Brosnan and his moustache are fine, but nothing else really is.” – One Room With A View May 10, 2019 Full Review Minions (2015) 55% 3/5 EDIT “An endless roll of jokes ensures this is sublime dumb-but-smart entertainment.” – One Room With A View May 7, 2019 Full Review Dap Cánh Giua Không Trung (2014) 3/5 EDIT “This is a strong debut looking from a female perspective into complex matters, providing a somewhat refreshing lift to a well-trodden path.” – One Room With A View Apr 19, 2019 Full Review
