Review of A Street Cat Named Bob (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 03 Nov 2016

While Bob does slink around some predictable narrative beats, this is still a slyly subversive film with a social point to make as it highlights…

Review of National Bird (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 20 Oct 2016

National Bird shows that there is indeed a horrible reckoning, but it mostly comes from within. This is a personal film about guilt…

Review of Inferno (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 07 Oct 2016

Koepp has managed a brisk adaptation, although some of the dialogue can feel very forced, particularly when it comes to the clue-solving set-ups…

Review of The Fencer (2015)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 28 Sep 2016

The Fencer plays out with few real surprises, but director Haro and screenwriter Heinamaa have settled on an appealing, conventional formula…

Review of Denial (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 15 Sep 2016

Jackson’s film is best enjoyed for the quality of the performances and the typical richness of Hare’s screenplay…

Review of Lion (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 15 Sep 2016

If Saroo’s story seems out-of-this world, the team behind this film have risen to meet the challenge it sets…

Review of Rats (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 14 Sep 2016

With Spurlock and Takal throwing every horror trope on the screen, Rats is a delectably awful experience which, grimly fun though it may be…

Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 12 Sep 2016

If nothing else, Deepwater Horizon makes a case for going back to basics with action films…

Review of The Age of Shadows (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 11 Sep 2016

The first half of Age of Shadows feels muddy as momentum builds; the latter stages boast a cinetic energy - cutting a violent melee to classical…

Review of Bridget Jones's Baby (2016)

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

In its own deja vu way, Bridget Jones Baby is intermittently entertaining, mainly thanks to Zellweger’s performance…

Review of Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 03 Sep 2016

Hacksaw Ridge returns to the themes which have professionally and personally motivated 60-year-old Gibson for his entire life; he’s never…

Review of Nocturnal Animals (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 01 Sep 2016

As a screenwriter, Ford has made some brave choices in a difficult, complex adaptation…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 31 Aug 2016

Arrivals becomes an unexpectedly moving rumination on life’s bigger questions by its end…

Review of La Flor (2019)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 30 Aug 2016

As a drama, this is less nourishing than the heritage it pays tribute to…

Review of Barracuda (2017)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 30 Aug 2016

As a drama, this is less nourishing than the heritage it pays tribute to…

Review of La La Land (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 30 Aug 2016

As a drama, this is less nourishing than the heritage it pays tribute to…

Review of Morgan (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 29 Aug 2016

As more information is dispensed - much of it in a rush in the final shots – the strength of Owen’s screenplay becomes clear but the issues…

Review of Brotherhood (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 27 Aug 2016

The story seems partially personal; Clarke himself is 40 now, and a father…

Review of The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 15 Aug 2016

By focusing on the touring footage, Howard’s picture distinguishes itself by allowing us to remember them as they started out while emphasising…

Review of Nerve (2016)

By Fionnuala Halligan (367) for Screen International (2,241) on 25 Jul 2016

For all that it bounces off a lot of contentious issues about children and the internet, where Carrie-style bullying has moved into the unsupervised…
