The Girl in the Spider's Web60
Nov 5, 2018
This latest Millennium movie smooths out the series’ earlier quirks. But there’s action galore and Foy makes a poised, dangerous heroine.
Jan 8, 2018
Darkest Hour80
Jan 8, 2018
An Oscar-aimed turn from Gary Oldman anchors this WW2 portrait of Churchill at his most beleaguered.
Dec 7, 2017
Félicité80
Dec 7, 2017
Alain Gomis’ film paints a lacerating picture of a raucous, dangerous city.
Nov 22, 2017
Lost in Paris80
Nov 22, 2017
From multi-talented Belgian/Canadian duo Dominique Abel and his partner Fiona Gordon comes a slice of light-hearted whimsy.
Nov 22, 2017
Manifesto60
Nov 22, 2017
Marx, Tristan Tzara, André Breton, Werner Herzog; Constructivism, Dadaism, Futurism… on it goes. Impressive, sure, but ultimately stultifying.
Oct 30, 2017
The Killing of a Sacred Deer80
Oct 30, 2017
Disturbing and often distressing, but compulsively watchable.
Sep 28, 2017
Kills on Wheels80
Sep 28, 2017
There’s a neat final twist up [Attila Till’s] sleeve – and by casting paraplegics, he avoids the easy sentimentality that subjects such as this often invite.

Mar 6, 2017
A complex film that sidesteps every cliché. Paul Verhoeven and Isabelle Huppert are at the top of their game.
Mar 6, 2017
The Student80
Mar 6, 2017
Skvortsov gives a scarily grim-faced performance, with biology teacher Elena (Viktoriya Isakova) increasingly beleaguered as the only one resisting him.
