Review of Natasha (2015)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 06 May 2017

A pair of rich central performances, an authentic eye for its second-generation immigrant milieu and a novelist’s comfort with ambiguity…

Review of Rupture (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 27 Apr 2017

This is a plot that feels lazily reverse-engineered from a collection of disparate, pre-existing scenes and elements, rather like one of those…

Review of The Levelling (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 29 Mar 2017

The Levelling is an intimate story, waterlogged with guilt, grief and blame, but it explores this dark spectrum with such unsentimental honesty…

Review of Brimstone (2016)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 07 Mar 2017

In a way it’s a shame that film builds backwards, because while it adds layers of tricksy narrative intrigue, that trajectory somewhat simplifies…

Review of Logan (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for BBC.com (1,500) on 03 Mar 2017

Logan does go defiantly against the grain by favouring melancholic mood and themes of mortality and deterioration over inflated, end-of-the-world…

Review of Have a Nice Day (2018)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 21 Feb 2017

Liu’s storyline may be a slight and generic madcap gangster/hitman/thief movie, but the details of aesthetic design and character interaction…

Review of The Other Side of Hope (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 19 Feb 2017

Somehow one of the effects of our current state of topsy-turviness has been to bring us closer into alignment with Kaurismäki’s skewed…

Review of The Dinner (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 18 Feb 2017

This is a film that glories in juxtaposition, as exchanges of bestial ferocity hiss back and forth in an excruciatingly elegant destination…

Review of A Fantastic Woman (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 Feb 2017

The superb Vega’s steady, liquid, fathomless gaze is so direct that we come to understand that behind it, behind the barricade of defenses…

Review of God's Own Country (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for BBC.com (1,500) on 17 Feb 2017

Under battered Yorkshire skies, with grime beneath its nails and soil clodding up the treads of its boots, Francis Lee's outstanding feature…

Review of On the Beach at Night Alone (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 Feb 2017

Whether because of its personal nature, its occasional ferocity, its unusually dark undercurrents, its audacious defiance of expectation and…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 Feb 2017

There is an energy to The Party, and a kind of rejuvenating bouncy glee that we haven't seen from Sally Potter in a long time…

Review of Super Dark Times (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 08 Feb 2017

For all its flaws, or rather for all the magnitude of its one massive flaw, it is more sincere than arch, and more earnest, certainly in its…

Review of Marjorie Prime (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 02 Feb 2017

The film might not have quite learned how to communicate visually rather than verbally, but the words are enticing ones and Sean Price Williams‘…

Review of Tempestad (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 Jan 2017

The subtlety of [Tatiana Huezo‘s] approach interlaces ideas, resonances and emotions in ever-shifting, eternally edifying ways…

Review of Prevenge (2017)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 18 Nov 2016

Uneven though it is, and downright shaggy at times, Prevenge is valuable in that it plots so unexpected an expectant-mother story — one in…

Review of Operation Mekong (2016)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 26 Oct 2016

How straightforward your enjoyment of the film will be largely depends on your ability to read “based on” as “very loosely inspired by”…

Review of Fire at Sea (2016)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 19 Oct 2016

Despite all the craft and care it seems just slightly deflating that Fire at Sea can elicit a relatively complacent reaction when it is such…
