Benny & Joon (1993) 75% 3/5 EDIT “This is a wisp of a movie, to be sure, but underneath all the absurd comic fringes and the much-abused crazies-are-really-sane theme beats the heart of a genuinely poetic love story.” – Empire Magazine Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Cherrybomb (2009) 42% 2/5 EDIT “A few flashy visual tricks aside, putting 'bomb' in their title is the only truly risqué thing about Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn's rookie outing.” – Total Film May 13, 2020 Full Review Wuthering Heights (1992) 31% 2/5 EDIT “A valiant attempt at compressing a novel as complex as Bronte's into under 2 hours, but 'valiant' shouldn't be mistaken for 'failed'.” – Empire Magazine Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Horns (2013) 41% 4/5 EDIT “Sweetness and splatter, romance and horror, comedy, fantasy... Alexandre Aja's movie boldly mixes flavours, to satisfying effect.” – Total Film Oct 27, 2014 Full Review This Is Where I Leave You (2014) 45% 2/5 EDIT “The cast promises much but this bittersweet fam-com backfires. Levy's grown-up bid leaves you wanting another night at the museum.” – Total Film Oct 22, 2014 Full Review The Judge (2014) 49% 3/5 EDIT “Robert Downey Jr. puts his abundant charisma to good use in this judicial thriller-cum-family reconciliation drama. But the jury's out on director Dobkin's aptitude for weighty subject matter.” – Total Film Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Ender's Game (2013) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Like its hero, Ender's Game relies on brains more than brute force. An absorbing portrait of Lord Of The Flies-style morality housed in imaginative sci-fi casing.” – Total Film Oct 24, 2013 Full Review Romeo & Juliet (2013) 25% 3/5 EDIT “Perfectly respectable, but it won't linger in the memory like Luhrmann's.” – Total Film Oct 9, 2013 Full Review Night Moves (2013) 86% EDIT “Reichardt's fifth feature is strongest in its set-up before becoming a tad perplexing and taking a baffling wrong turn at its inconclusive ending.” – Thompson on Hollywood Sep 8, 2013 Full Review The Lone Ranger (2013) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Ultimately, it's not as awful as Wild Wild West. But we'll hazard a guess that Pirates 5 can't come quick enough for Bruckheimer or Depp.” – Total Film Jul 30, 2013 Full Review This Is 40 (2012) 52% 4/5 EDIT “Ha-has and emotional heft, hand in hand. And, for the most part, Apatow's approach pays dividends.” – Total Film Jan 15, 2013 Full Review Alex Cross (2012) 11% 2/5 EDIT “The only appeal here is the sick kick of watching a franchise blow itself to bloody stumps.” – Total Film Nov 23, 2012 Full Review Life of Pi (2012) 86% 5/5 EDIT “A riot of saturated colour and delirious imagination, Ang Lee's adap radiates spirituality. But it's also a simple, thrilling and gently uplifting tale of a boy, a boat and a tiger.” – Total Film Nov 23, 2012 Full Review 360 (2011) 19% 2/5 EDIT “Banal, blundering and at times downright ludicrous, 360 is a full-circle misfire that Meirelles' lively images can't salvage.” – Total Film Jul 31, 2012 Full Review Killer Joe (2011) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The dirtiest black comedy you'll see for a long time.” – Total Film Jun 20, 2012 Full Review House of My Father (2012) 41% 3/5 EDIT “A joyous, ramshackle celebration of sloppy filmmaking and cheapo production design.” – Total Film May 29, 2012 Full Review Damsels in Distress (2011) 75% 3/5 EDIT “A mixed return for Stillman, Damsels is so whimsically out of step it's like a time-travel comedy without the time travel. Fortunately, Gerwig and some dazzling dialogue save his blushes.” – Total Film Apr 18, 2012 Full Review Albert Nobbs (2011) 56% 2/5 EDIT “Good performances, but it's difficult to give two hoots about Close's passion project when the story remains as pinched and hermetic as poor little Albert Nobbs himself.” – Total Film Apr 16, 2012 Full Review Wild Bill (2011) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Full of quirky, absorbing characters and performances, Fletcher's debut is a hugely enjoyable East End western and a lesson on how to avoid the excesses of the Brit-crim-com.” – Total Film Mar 19, 2012 Full Review Black Gold (2011) 11% 2/5 EDIT “Banderas hams and Pinto flutters. If it weren't for Strong and some colourful art direction, you could chalk this up as a busted well.” – Total Film Feb 13, 2012 Full Review Anonymous (2011) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Slickly told, mildly diverting but ultimately fraudulent.” – Total Film Oct 28, 2011 Full Review Tyrannosaur (2011) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Approach Considine's brilliant directorial debut with caution. It's a pitiless, fearsome beast that will hammer you in the gut, hard. And Olivia Colman will blow you away.” – Total Film Sep 23, 2011 Full Review Your Sister's Sister (2011) 85% 4/5 EDIT “A lovely example of what a surefooted filmmaker can achieve with a game and talented cast and a generous, heartfelt story - demonstrable proof that small pleasures can be the most satisfying.” – Guardian Sep 20, 2011 Full Review Warrior (2011) 84% 3/5 EDIT “A tougher, meaner animal than close cousin The Fighter, with Hardy, Edgerton and Nolte at their pugnacious, heart-wrenching best.” – Total Film Sep 14, 2011 Full Review Colombiana (2011) 29% EDIT “We could be talking up Zoe Saldana as the next Angelina Jolie. But she's going to need a stronger vehicle than this to end Angie's reign.” – Total Film Aug 31, 2011 Full Review
