Review of Wounds (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 02 Feb 2019

The performers are left with very little to work with and while Hammer does find away of making the most of his haunted alcoholic, Johnson…

Review of The Report (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 02 Feb 2019

The Report is an angry, urgent film that rarely raises its voice, smartly conveying inhumanity and injustice without unnecessary drama…

Review of Official Secrets (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 01 Feb 2019

Official Secrets is a well-intentioned retelling of a daunting act of courage and as a vehicle for informing more people of who Katharine Gun…

Review of Late Night (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 01 Feb 2019

Arguably the film’s biggest problem is that it’s less laugh-out-loud hilarious and more deserving of the odd casual smirk…

Review of The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 01 Feb 2019

It’s a shaggy, wistful film that acts as a heartfelt tribute to both a city and a friendship and when the cutesy quirk that surrounds it…

Review of The Farewell (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 01 Feb 2019

It’s a slight film at times but one that builds to a crescendo of emotion…

Review of Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 01 Feb 2019

It’s a star vehicle that starts and ends with its star, the film around him struggling to justify its existence. Efron is wicked, the film less so…

Review of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 30 Jan 2019

It’s a conventional film in many ways but one that slowly and effectively builds to a remarkably rousing climax, displaying an act of overwhelming…

Review of Blinded by the Light (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 29 Jan 2019

There’s something so constructed and suffocating about watching a tried and tested formula not working, the over-sentimental string-pulling…

Review of After the Wedding (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 29 Jan 2019

It would be difficult to invest in if not for its two main stars who work hard to elevate the overly engineered plot, filling in the emotional…

Review of Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 28 Jan 2019

Gilroy avoids the ghoulish extremes of Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals and offers up a believably pretentious battleground…

Review of The Mule (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 12 Dec 2018

As a drama, it’s frustratingly insubstantial, failing to provide enough of an emotional centre or a convincing payoff…

Review of Creed II (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 16 Nov 2018

There’s a delicate intimacy between the characters that feels raw and authentic and like Coogler, Caple Jr’s indie beginnings seem to steer…

Review of Mary Queen of Scots (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for Guardian (4,584) on 16 Nov 2018

It is a finely constructed drama, avoiding stuffiness without slipping into camp territory and while diehard historians might disapprove, everyone…

Review of On the Basis of Sex (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 09 Nov 2018

On the Basis of Sex is a solid, often impassioned film, but too often its worst instincts take over, and cliches stack up faster than legal documents…

Review of The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for Guardian (4,584) on 23 Oct 2018

It’s watchable enough but let down by a strange lack of interest in presenting Salander as anything but an engine to propel a plot…

Review of Boy Erased (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 12 Sep 2018

It’s a curiously underwhelming, muted, often plodding two hours that fails to reach the emotional highs and devastating lows one would expect…

Review of Hold the Dark (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for Guardian (4,584) on 12 Sep 2018

While the shifts in genre, plot and location do prove intriguing for much of the film, they ultimately result in a feeling of mild dissatisfaction,…

Review of The Death & Life of John F. Donovan (2019)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 12 Sep 2018

None of it rings remotely true and his insistence on playing out so many scenes at such a high level can make it an excruciating watch…

Review of Donnybrook (2018)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 11 Sep 2018

It’s a pulpy slab of exploitation masquerading as an important treatise on the struggles faced by the working class in rural America, thumping…
