Review of Beautiful Boy (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 08 Sep 2018

Review of Peterloo (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 07 Sep 2018

As a historical account it is unvarnished without feeling dry or academic, and as a coded satire of the contemporary British political climate…

Review of One Last Deal (2019)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 07 Sep 2018

One Last Deal is a redemptive, moving and stunningly shot depiction of the search for meaning in later life…

Review of Loro 1 (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 07 Sep 2018

Luca Bigazzi's cinematography is a stunning kaleidoscope of colour, naked pleasure and voyeurism; it's at once a vision of desire and shattering,…

Review of Smithereens (1982)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 02 Sep 2018

The grimy, crime-ridden cesspool of New York in the 1970s and early 1980s is a well-worn cinematic setting, but in her debut 1982 feature Smithereens,…

Review of Allure (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 30 Jul 2018

Allure is an intriguing, stylishly visualised neo noir, but in the end, has neither the depth as a psychological drama, nor the suspense of…

Review of Iceman (2017)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 30 Jul 2018

The violence on display throughout the film certainly proves compelling, though it is thematically slight…

Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 26 Jul 2018

Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 06 Jun 2018

In a film about resurrected dinosaurs, suspension of disbelief is mandatory, but the script’s illogical nonsense and flat, cartoonish characters…

Review of Breakheart Pass (1975)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 23 May 2018

Breakheart Pass is an oddly inert affair, lacking the operatic violence of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, the mean realism of The Outlaw…

Review of Deadpool 2 (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 16 May 2018

Infinity War will likely be first choice for the summer season crowd, but Deadpool 2 wins hands down in terms of personal stakes and visual flair…

Review of Metropolitan (1990)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 08 May 2018

Whit Stillman's directorial debut is a terrifically satirical portrayal of the upper echelons of New York society…

Review of Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 02 May 2018

An exhausting barrel roll of a narrative, functioning less as a complete story and more as a frenetic series finale…

Review of Beast (2018)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 26 Apr 2018

Beast is rough around the edges but as a feature debut marks out its director as one of the most intriguing new talents in British filmmaking…

Review of The Awful Truth (1937)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 22 Apr 2018

Review of The Barefoot Contessa (1954)

By Christopher Machell (333) for CineVue (2,163) on 22 Apr 2018
