Review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 30 Dec 2013

Elba is magnetic throughout, giving a consistently detailed performance that subtly reflects the personal toll Mandela's long walk has taken on him…

Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 08 Dec 2013

The Desolation of Smaug feels Ringsier in tone while forging entirely its own narrative path, marrying breathless action with shrewd character…

Review of The Counselor (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 12 Nov 2013

As viscerally promising as the McCarthy-Scott combination initially seemed, the result is nourishing on a purely intellectual level; it works…

Review of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 11 Nov 2013

As an adaptation of Collins's Catching Fire, Lawrence's film is close to faultless. As cinema, it's solidly engaging but consistently underwhelming…

Review of Dom Hemingway (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 08 Nov 2013

Richard Shepard's script bursts out of the starting gate with brio; it immediately feels like nothing else you have seen this year, outlandish…

Review of Closed Circuit (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 21 Oct 2013

It's too plodding to work as a paranoid thriller and too ham-fisted to work as anything deeper…

Review of Thor: The Dark World (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 21 Oct 2013

Thor: The Dark World is a hugely entertaining and sharply written continuation of Marvel's Phase 2, combining heart, spectacle and a shrewd…

Review of 12 Years a Slave (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 17 Oct 2013

Visceral, vital and anchored by its earnest performances, this is a potent portrait of a shameful historical truth…

Review of Locke (2014)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 17 Oct 2013

Few actors could shoulder this level of scrutiny - every twitch and shift in expression is magnified - but Hardy's restraint is breathtaking…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 16 Oct 2013

Sharply scripted and led by a pair of bold, thrilling performances, Kill Your Darlings is a heady, histrionic, utterly captivating slice of…

Review of Turbo (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 15 Oct 2013

A zippy and good-natured adventure that hones in on its target audience from the get-go…

Review of Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 14 Oct 2013

A wry and beautifully understated study of loss, as frequently biting as it is moving, it slips directly into contention with the Coens' finest work…

Review of The Fifth Estate (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 10 Oct 2013

The Fifth Estate takes heed of too many narrative masters and ends up serving none of them well…

Review of Nebraska (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 10 Oct 2013

A beguiling and intimate change of pace for Payne…

Review of Le Week-End (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 06 Oct 2013

This is intelligent, intimate, lived-in drama that packs a startling punch…

Review of The To Do List (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Total Film (3,532) on 02 Oct 2013

There are moments of sweetness and spontaneity with her BFFs (Alia Shawkat, Sarah Steele) but not enough to fill the hole where the film’s…

Review of Prisoners (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Total Film (3,532) on 24 Sep 2013

A simmering pressure cooker of a thriller, Prisoners is an unforgiving but emotionally rewarding experience sustained by powerhouse performances,…

Review of Hawking (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 15 Sep 2013

As a biopic, Hawking favours depth at the expense of breadth, but it does so with insight and elegance…

Review of 42 (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 11 Sep 2013

A predictable but stirring underdog story that's less po-faced than it initially threatens to be…

Review of Diana (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 04 Sep 2013

In trying desperately (and understandably) to portray Diana accurately and reverentially, Watts has neglected to portray a person…
