Review of Final Portrait (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Aug 2017

Like most modern biopics, it focuses on a short period in his life rather than the whole span but it gives a good sense of the man…

Review of The Dark Tower (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Aug 2017

The dialogue is dodgy, the emotional impact weak, the story squished…

Review of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Aug 2017

It is most likely to preach to the converted and although Gore was right about too much 10 years ago, the film is not without hope…

Review of Atomic Blonde (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 13 Aug 2017

Review of A Ghost Story (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 13 Aug 2017

It is beautifully shot, as if through a filter. There is minimal dialogue and Lowery plays with the ghost and haunted house tropes…

Review of 47 Meters Down (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 30 Jul 2017

The stars do what they can with the script and scuba tanks, and all in all it's two stars but oddly viewable…

Review of Girls Trip (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 30 Jul 2017

Like a cross between Bridesmaids and The Hangover it pokes a little fun at the self-help business and is enjoyably un-PC…

Review of The Boy and the Beast (2015)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 30 Jul 2017

Award-winning writer director Mamoru Hosoda's film feels like a classic tale rather than a modern take, the characters are quite two-dimensional,…

Review of Dunkirk (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 22 Jul 2017

Ambitious, emotional, impressive, beautiful, terrifying and superbly cast, it's a fitting testimony to one of the most remarkable episodes…

Review of David Lynch: The Art Life (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 15 Jul 2017

As a doc about the who and why of David Lynch it is very effective but definitely made by fans for fans…

Review of Pilgrimage (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 15 Jul 2017

The casting is excellent which mostly makes up for a story that feels a little thin…

Review of The Beguiled (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 15 Jul 2017

Visibly directed as is Coppola's wont it is a sumptuously beautiful film -- cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd has a field day -- with some…

Review of Risk (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 13 Jul 2017

The result is an interesting but ultimately unsatisfying documentary…

Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 13 Jul 2017

It's a strange enough dynamic where the audience is rooting for the victory of another species but this is where this movie, serious in all…

Review of Cardboard Gangsters (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 18 Jun 2017

A film about drug dealers isn't to everyone's taste, but this is a well-made, gritty drama that doesn't glamorise anything or judge anyone,…

Review of Churchill (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 18 Jun 2017

We know what happened on D-Day, but it is interesting to portray Britain's Greatest Briton as a man whose ego is getting in the way…

Review of Nails (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 18 Jun 2017

The actual spooky stuff provides a few jumps, the performances are good but overall the story is too thin, and that dilutes the impact…

Review of Berlin Syndrome (2017)

By Aine O'connor (240) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 11 Jun 2017

Both leads opt to underplay their roles and it works well in what is an effective and mostly psychological horror…
