Review of Mascots (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 16 Sep 2016

This is the fourth instalment in the Guest mockumentary 'canon' and it's evidence that the format has now solidified into a template that needs…

Review of Colossal (2017)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 15 Sep 2016

What sounds like an enormously fun and quite interesting idea fades all too quickly into generic silliness…

Review of Snowden (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 14 Sep 2016

Gordon-Levitt is perfectly fine as Snowden, getting the voice and cadence fairly spot on and he looks almost right…

Review of American Pastoral (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 12 Sep 2016

A drab and airless affair, it effectively ignores the substantial political commentaries inherent in its story, and fails to land the emotional…

Review of Certain Women (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 10 Sep 2016

Certain Women is a deft masterclass in humane open-ended observation, crafting subtle portraits of three Montana women overlooked and hardy…

Review of The Magnificent Seven (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 09 Sep 2016

Richard Wenk and Nic Pizzolatto's screenplay completely lacks the interpersonal vibrancy that a film like this needs and this is glaring given…

Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 09 Sep 2016

Comedy is used to undercut the most horribly tragic of moments...given the sadness all the more pathos and offering glimpses of hope in a narrative…

Review of The Royal Road (2015)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 05 Sep 2016

Even as she challenges accepted mythologies, she crafts her own both warning against nostalgia and passionately arguing for it; both being…

Review of Kate Plays Christine (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 21 Aug 2016

Greene seeks a deeper truth amidst the fragments of arch drama and investigatory reportage; artifice and reality bleed into one another with…

Review of Tickled (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 18 Aug 2016

It's unlikely you're going to come across too many documentaries this year with a yarn to spin as tangled and twisted as Tickled…

Review of Bobby Sands: 66 Days (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 14 Aug 2016

Though it is clearly a work of great empathy and respect, Bobby Sands: 66 Days takes pains to offer alternative perspectives and as such makes…

Review of Suicide Squad (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 03 Aug 2016

Despite its claims to zaniness and colouring outside the lines, probably the most damning indictment of the silly Suicide Squad is that it's…

Review of Jason Bourne (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 25 Jul 2016

The political commentary feels far more explicitly pointed and widely integral than in previous incarnations which adds a bold new dynamic…

Review of Notes on Blindness (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 13 Jul 2016

Notes on Blindness raises fascinating questions about our reliance on visual memory aids and the amount to which we truly experience the world…

Review of The Hard Stop (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 29 Jun 2016

The visuals are undeniably impressive at times, as Henry parkours around the city or during a particularly tense shoot-out, but they also struggle…

Review of Where to Invade Next (2015)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 06 Jun 2016

A film full of worthy, valid points that are threatened to be lost amidst Moore's trademark style…

Review of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 17 May 2016

The problem is that Apocalypse's highlights feel like moments of serenity amidst two-and-a-half-hours of lumbering, inconsequential chaos…

Review of Green Room (2016)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 10 May 2016

Nasty, nerve-wracking and not for the squeamish…

Review of The Sky Trembles and the Earth Is Afraid and the Two Eyes Are Not Brothers (2015)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 03 May 2016

There are no answers here, as there were not in Bowles original story, but there are fascinating questions about the paths we travel and the…

Review of Ilo Ilo (2013)

By Ben Nicholson (124) for CineVue (2,163) on 02 May 2016
