Review of Couple in a Hole (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 09 Apr 2016

This strange film is a ruralist cross between British psychological realism and the wilder, Artaud-inflected fringes of French art cinema…

Review of The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 09 Apr 2016

There are many offensive things about this insipid confection…

Review of Boulevard (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 09 Apr 2016

It's a lugubrious, creaky affair, as Williams squishes up his face and droops his shoulders with a coyness that can be downright embarrassing…

Review of Nasty Baby (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 09 Apr 2016

This is one of those awkward films that depicts complacent characters while itself looking complacent, and Silva never quite seems in control…

Review of Midnight Special (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 09 Apr 2016

Overall, this is a tremendous film - narratively satisfying, visually striking, and with a teasing theological subtext, if that's your bag…

Review of I Am Belfast (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 09 Apr 2016

Cousins offers perhaps his most eccentric docu-essay yet, an impressionistic portrait of his home town, with Helena Bereen playing a regal…

Review of Black Mountain Poets (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 02 Apr 2016

None of the ensemble interplay quite gels here…

Review of Martyrs (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 02 Apr 2016

It's deeply unappetising - insipid for much of its length, before soullessly revelling in the agony for its final stretch…

Review of Anguish (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 02 Apr 2016

If ever a film failed to live up to its title... mild impatience, more like it…

Review of Eddie the Eagle (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 02 Apr 2016

Not so much a movie, more a morale-boosting initiative, but briskly jolly, and given a dash of class by Jim Broadbent, Christopher Walken and…

Review of Battle Mountain: Graeme Obree's Story (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 02 Apr 2016

It's an engaging watch, and Street's own camera work provides attractive polish…

Review of Papusza (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 02 Apr 2016

I could have stared and stared at the opening shot alone. But visuals apart, this biopic is frustratingly slack…

Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 25 Mar 2016

Yes, it's always nice to see actors of the caliber of Holly Hunter (as a skeptical judge) and Jeremy Irons (as Alfred the butler) get to do…

Review of Eisenstein in Guanajuato (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 04 Feb 2016

What Greenaway does, however, at times quite magnificently-together with regular collaborators, DP Reinier van Brummelen and editor Elmer Leupen-is…

Review of Aferim! (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 20 Jan 2016

Lyrical and nightmarish in turns, but in no way nostalgic, Jude's reconstruction of this world makes for one of the most striking films of…

Review of Sleeping with Other People (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 03 Jan 2016

Headland's script sometimes feel more like a 2015 zeitgeist-capsule than an organic piece of comedy, but the mix of sophistication and unabashed…

Review of At Any Price (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 03 Jan 2016

It's an honest, grown-up, slightly earnest slice of rolled-sleeves Americana - something like the cinematic equivalent of a Steve Earle album…

Review of Contempt (1963)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 03 Jan 2016

Steeped in melancholy and a sense of mourning…

Review of The Good Dinosaur (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 30 Nov 2015

Written by Meg LeFauve, with her, Sohn, and others credited on story, The Good Dinosaur features the most mundane narrative of any Pixar film-mundane…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Nov 2015
