Review of Phantom Thread (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 10 Jan 2018

Phantom Thread is so thematically and performatively dense while maintaining a comedic lightness of touch, that it is one of Anderson's greatest…

Review of The Post (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 06 Dec 2017

Spielberg felt this story urgently needed to be told, yet he has left the story that needs to be heard firmly in the margins…

Review of Happy End (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 29 Nov 2017

Happy End is so poorly conceived, the film really lived up to its title by leaving me overjoyed when it finally, abruptly cut to the end credits…

Review of I Love You, Daddy (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 20 Nov 2017

Thematically tone deaf, stylistically inert and largely boring, I Love You, Daddy would be an awful film regardless of the news currently surrounding…

Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 08 Nov 2017

It's the rare film that, after the overwhelming first viewing experience, doesn't feel like hyperbole to call a genre redefining masterpiece…

Review of The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 25 Oct 2017

The Meyerowitz Stories may feel like business as usual for Baumbach, but it's a quietly evolutionary step in his filmography…

Review of The Shape of Water (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 25 Oct 2017

The Shape of Water is del Toro's finest film since Pan's Labyrinth, and certainly the best film he has ever made in the English language…

Review of The Death of Stalin (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 22 Oct 2017

In a rather weak year for big screen comedy, The Death of Stalin can easily stake a claim as the year's funniest film…

Review of Last Flag Flying (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 16 Oct 2017

Last Flag Flying is a forgettable effort from a filmmaker capable of far greater things…

Review of Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 16 Oct 2017

Brawl in Cell Block 99 is a gloriously inventive and deliriously dark thriller that's definitely not for the faint of heart…

Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 16 Oct 2017

It's hard for me to talk about this film without just hurling adjectives at the page; it's tender, beautiful, sexy, hilarious and deeply moving…

Review of Foxtrot (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 14 Oct 2017

Foxtrot is a unclassifiable blend of black comedy, surrealism and socio-political drama that proves to be equal parts unflinching and unforgettable…

Review of Bad Genius (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 14 Oct 2017

Bad Genius is a gloriously preposterous work that is one of the most unique (and certainly one of the most enjoyable) heist movies in recent memory…

Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 13 Oct 2017

In the hands of a director at the top of his game, Blade Runner 2049 is a blockbuster with brains, heart and an abundance of style, that will…

Review of Lean on Pete (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 11 Oct 2017

In Lean on Pete, characters are first and foremost, leading to an finished product that is a knockout emotional triumph…

Review of Mistress America (2015)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 10 Oct 2017

Mistress America doesn't fully succeed with what it sets out to do - renewing a tired comedy sub-genre for a new and more cynical generation…

Review of The Gift (2015)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 10 Oct 2017

Instead of being a generic horror or psychological thriller, The Gift is a superior drama with a plethora of thrilling moments…

Review of Ant-Man (2015)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 10 Oct 2017

As the closing piece of Marvel's hit-and-miss phase two, Ant-Man bodes well for the future of the MCU…

Review of Mommy (2015)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 10 Oct 2017

The fact that this unusual film not only works, but is one of the best of the year, is conclusive proof that Xavier Dolan has joined the top…

Review of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 10 Oct 2017

As well as being one of the most sickeningly overrated films of the year, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is one of the worst…
