Review of Bloody Daughter (2012)

By David Parkinson (764) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 29 Apr 2015

While much of the imagery is intimate, the reluctance to delve into crucial artistic, romantic or health issues means that this is always more…

Review of I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story (2015)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 29 Apr 2015

A charming insight into the life and art of Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer who has played Big Bird on Sesame Street since it was launched in 1969…

Review of We Are Monster (2014)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 29 Apr 2015

The film certainly succeeds in generating a mood of claustrophobic menace, but the dramatic elements are too often clumsily realised…

Review of Dark Horse (2015)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 15 Apr 2015

Osmond might have delved deeper into the morality of National Hunt racing, but with editor Joby Gee she ably relates the account with archive…

Review of Moolaadé (2004)

By David Parkinson (764) for Empire (3,446) on 14 Apr 2015

Poetic, provocative and unstoppably powerful. But, depressingly, it probably won't change a thing…

Review of Drone (2014)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 08 Apr 2015

The argument is enervatingly imbalanced and sensationalised, so it lacks both trenchancy and authority…

Review of Drone (2013)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 08 Apr 2015

The argument is enervatingly imbalanced and sensationalised, so it lacks both trenchancy and authority…

Review of Jauja (2014)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 08 Apr 2015

A quest saga whose metaphysical digressions and dream interludes will fascinate and frustrate in equal measure…

Review of Bypass (2014)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 08 Apr 2015

For all the doughty naturalism of the performances, the photography, editing and sound design, the film feels overly detached from the reality…

Review of I Used to Live Here (2014)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 01 Apr 2015

Berry delivers an uncompromising study of a tragic trend that owes much to Andrea Arnold's brand of social realism and within that, he captures…

Review of Altman (2014)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 01 Apr 2015

While this makes a decent introduction to a principled artist and major force in contemporary American cinema, it leaves far too many gaps…

Review of Dior and I (2015)

By David Parkinson (764) for Empire (3,446) on 29 Mar 2015

More compelling when focusing on long-serving staff and their skills and opinions…

Review of Wendy and Lucy (2008)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 27 Mar 2015

With quirky support from Will Patton's caustic mechanic and Walter Dalton's sympathetic security guard, this is a bittersweet triumph…

Review of Blind (2014)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 26 Mar 2015

Every twist and shift of the mise-en-scéne adds to the complexity, ingenuity and artistic bravura of this mesmerising treatise on the refusal…

Review of All Good Things (2010)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 23 Mar 2015

A story that's overloaded with research and unbridled speculation, all told with no clear direction…

Review of Kes (1970)

By David Parkinson (764) for Radio Times (2,421) on 16 Mar 2015

Ken Loach seems to acquire a surer mastery of his art with each picture, yet this, one of his earliest features, is still one of his best…

Review of My Name Is Salt (2013)

By David Parkinson (764) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 13 Mar 2015
