Review of David Lynch: The Art Life (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 26 Mar 2017

Jon Nguyen’s carefully-calibrated ode to Lynch is in itself Lynchian, an essential picture for the director’s legion of fans…

Review of Betting on Zero (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 16 Mar 2017

Even if it tells the age-old story of the filthy rich getting richer and the poor going nowhere, Betting on Zero is still rather shocking…

Review of Super Dark Times (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 15 Mar 2017

Phillips’ collaborators work in harmony with the natural, nuanced acting; credits across the board are stylish and smooth, with lensing a…

Review of School Life (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 09 Mar 2017

Childhood is a mystery we endlessly come back to and a place the Leydens have never fully left; Ní Chianáin gives the viewer an intimate…

Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 03 Mar 2017

More than a quarter of a century later, Beauty and the Beast enchants again as a swirling blend of live-action story, stage, screen and sheer,…

Review of Cries from Syria (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 02 Mar 2017

The film is called, and certainly contains, cries from Syria but in itself Afineevsky’s documentary is more of a shout, a piercing scream…

Review of Tomato Red (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 26 Feb 2017

A film that's like a lost and wandering tourist, in need of a map, and, ultimately, a fast exit…

Review of Step (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 22 Feb 2017

Crowds will be pleased, tears will be shed and audiences should rally to the passion and drama onscreen. The stakes are high in Step…

Review of A Cure for Wellness (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 07 Feb 2017

The film is visually arresting, but narratively stale…

Review of Thoroughbreds (2018)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 29 Jan 2017

Some zinging dialogue and pungent photography are complemented by the two young leads and the late Anton Yelchin in support…

Review of Patti Cake$ (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 28 Jan 2017

Debut director Geremy Jasper has said Patti is part-modelled on his own life, and there’s a real empathy on display here for her internal…

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 28 Jan 2017

Lee’s love for this hard land and the boy trapped in it – so fully embodied by young British actor Josh O’Connor – is unexpectedly…

Review of Pop Aye (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 25 Jan 2017

Soft and sweet, Kirsten Tan’s bright and airy debut is also quietly eloquent, speaking of a loss and regret…

Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 23 Jan 2017

It’s a beautiful, supremely touching performance from Chalamet which gives this surprisingly safe story its moving purity…

Review of Wind River (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 22 Jan 2017

Review of The Founder (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 22 Nov 2016

Review of My Feral Heart (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 04 Nov 2016
