Review of Welcome to the Punch (2013)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 03 Sep 2018

As a rule, I love James McAvoy with all my heart, but he just isn't cut out to be a scowling, hardened action hero…

Review of Love Is All You Need (2012)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 03 Sep 2018

A romantic comedy that isn't romantic or comic or much of anything…

Review of Redemption (2013)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 03 Sep 2018

This is a film that wants to be more than a mindless action flick and it tries, desperately, but just can't deliver…

Review of The Look of Love (2013)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 03 Sep 2018

Although it wants to be a tragedy - I could feel it straining at the leash to go in that direction - it never quite pulls it off, so to speak…

Review of The Great Gatsby (2013)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 03 Sep 2018

This is fantastically enjoyable, and a blast. It is wild and rampant and thrilling…

Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

OK, if this film teaches us anything, it teaches us how to take a perfectly fine book and transform it into a mushy, corny, ghastly mess of…

Review of Life in a Day (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

This is a film that can have you smiling one second and choking back the tears the next…

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

One of those films that is only as good as its stars. Luckily, in this instance, the stars are Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones…

Review of Tyrannosaur (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

It is full of masculine fury and the women who take the brunt of it, and if this does not sound an attractive proposition, it's because it…

Review of Mother and Child (2009)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

Never lives up to the performances and the first half, particularly, is conducted so methodically it all feels rather sedated and even dreary…

Review of Jane Eyre (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

What it does right it does very right. It is stunningly mounted, for example…

Review of The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

This is, I know, a self-aware film: its clichés are parodies of horror clichés generally, but to subvert a form, it should, first and foremost,…

Review of The Descendants (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

I liked it. I enjoyed it. I did not resent the time I'd spent watching it, although that may just be because I seriously have nothing better to do…

Review of The Tree of Life (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

Ideally, you would bathe in a film like this without striving to decipher it…

Review of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

So beautifully executed and so visually absorbing and so atmospherically hypnotic that I wonder this: would it have been awfully greedy to…

Review of The Muppets (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

I just hoped for more vaudevillian anarchy and less sentimentality. Sometimes, it is a mistake to revisit your childhood with the same expectations…

Review of Wuthering Heights (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

So it loses steam, part of the way through, but worth it for the first portion? Yes, because that is like no other costume drama you have ever seen…

Review of Switch (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

It's awful, but at least it is one of my favourite kinds of awful film: so awful it's a triumph…

Review of Ted (2012)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

The greatest compliment I can pay Seth MacFarlane's Ted is that although this is essentially one of those slacker, stoner comedies, and such…

Review of Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 30 Aug 2018

Where, in short, is this film's personality, or even the characters' personalities, for that matter…
