The Dig (2021)
Carey Mulligan is stunning in this exquisite, heart-rendering period drama.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Aaron Sorkin does not disappoint. We get courtroom drama, compelling characters, and of course, exceptional dialogue.
Rebecca (2020)
Rebecca lacks conviction or passion. Gorgeous scenery can't save the shallow script, and the actors are stilted in boring roles.
Little Women (2019)
Little Women is a disappointment. While the cast is magnificent, the story structure and writing leave the movie boring and confused.
Knives Out (2019)
Knives Out is smart, endlessly entertaining, and original. The story and the cast are perfect. If you’re looking for a fun murder mystery thriller, this is it.
The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)
While sensitively written and beautifully filmed, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society suffers from a muddled plot and a lack of cast chemistry.
I, Tonya (2017)
I, Tonya is a dark, hard hitting movie that shines scalding and objective light on the controversy surrounding Tonya Harding, as well as delving deep into her complicated personal relationships.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
An ambiguous film, to say the least, yet wholly deserving of its many awards and nominations.
BATTLE OF THE SEXES (2017)
Battle of the Sexes is a game of pain and beauty, of fear and bravery, of love and triumph. The cast is wonderful, the production is lavish, and the script is excellent.
Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
Murder on the Orient Express is too besotted with its lead actor and overwhelmed with its source material to look at either without rose-tinted glasses. It tries too hard, and the cast are lost in a showy script.
The Beguiled (2017)
The Beguiled isn't as bewitching as it claims to be. Despite its relational intensity, the story is squandered as a result of forced performances and an extremely weak script.
My Cousin Rachel (2017)
My Cousin Rachel is beautifully filmed and led by a mesmerising Weisz, but otherwise it's insufferably boring and poorly plotted.
Dunkirk (2017)
An atmospheric, riveting film with a haunting score, strong cast, and excellent cinematography. But the writers skimp drastically on plot and character.
Hidden Figures (2016)
I laughed, I cried, I cheered. This film is unmissable and based on a true story. Watch it.
Jackie (2016)
Jackie's story is heartbreaking and powerful, but I don't think this film manages to capture that. The acting and scenes are too awkward, and the script doesn't dig deep enough. But visually, it is ethereal.
The Light Between Oceans (2016)
Honestly, who cares if it’s a little melodramatic? The Light Between Oceans is so brilliantly acted and filmed, it’s an earnest and compassionate look at love, the choices we make, and the people for whom we sacrifice.
