Land of Mine | Review ★★★★
While powerfully fraught, Zandvliet’s historical drama touches sensitively on the consequences of war.
Category: film
Dunkirk | Review ★★★★
Nolan’s historical-survival epic has terrifying immersive power but struggles against waves of excess.
War for the Planet of the Apes | Review ★★★★
Reeves brings his bold, bleak (r)evolution of the rebooted ‘Apes’ saga to a triumphant conclusion.
Spider-Man: Homecoming | Review ★★★★
The web-slinging hero swings back onto our screen (again) but in a refreshingly optimistic, energetic and appropriately adolescent caper.
After the Storm | Review ★★★★
A quiet, sweet reflection on life choices, Kore-eda’s latest film is a more thoughtful and engaging piece than some of his previous work.
Baby Driver | Review ★★★
Wright’s latest genre fusion delivers exciting high-octane action in ‘cool’ retro-style but with shameful self-indulgence.
The Other Side of Hope | Review ★★★★
Kaurismäki’s characteristically deadpan style is unexpectedly revealing in this self-critical, tragicomic response to the refugee crisis.
