Review of Blackhat (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

A square-jawed, furrowed-browed, altogether joyless film, with a hero to match…

Review of Project Almanac (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

By the time the mind-bending paradoxes kick in, the film's potential complexities have devolved into mere clutter, both narrative and visual…

Review of Predestination (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

The film leaps into a dizzy abyss of temporal paradoxes, made all the dizzier by its transgender premise - a modern Tiresias myth plaited into…

Review of Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

This quietly magnificent piece should put the Zellners on the map: one day, the Coens will make movies inspired by them…

Review of Maidan (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

Loznitsa offers something that these days is rare and precious: close-up coverage of history in the making that doesn't have breaking news…

Review of Predestination (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

The film leaps into a dizzy abyss of temporal paradoxes, made all the dizzier by its transgender premise - a modern Tiresias myth plaited into…

Review of The Duke of Burgundy (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

The Duke of Burgundy is a deeply eccentric filigree of a film, as aesthetically refined a piece of cinematic artifice as I've seen in ages…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Feb 2015

You hope for the tang of lemon drizzle; what you ultimately get is Madeira, with the proverbial soggy bottom…

Review of The Artist (2011)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 17 Feb 2015

Retro but totally modern, frivolous yet fundamentally serious, The Artist is a thing of grace and joy and a great American film -- of the sort…

Review of The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 04 Jan 2015

A respectably effective, decorously English addition to the current ghost story wave - Frightfully Insidious, as it were…

Review of Birdman (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 04 Jan 2015

Birdman has wings, for certain, even if you find the feathers sticking in your throat now and then…

Review of The Theory of Everything (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 04 Jan 2015

Redmayne's quietly exuberant performance is admirable and engaging, never over-stressing its tour de force dimension…

Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 04 Jan 2015

Birdman has wings, for certain, even if you find the feathers sticking in your throat now and then…

Review of Leviathan (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 04 Jan 2015

One of the outstanding films of 2014, Leviathan lives up to its title: it's a behemoth of intelligent contemporary cinema…

Review of Dying of the Light (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 04 Jan 2015

What remains is by no means catastrophic, just solemn and inconclusive, with the darker psychological resonances (Cage's character faces encroaching…

Review of Into the Woods (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 19 Dec 2014

Marshall delivers Into the Woods to the screen dutifully, but what's lost is the real point of the show as an exploration of storytelling-&…

Review of A Most Violent Year (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 05 Dec 2014

It's an impressive, substantial piece of work, and a proper old-fashioned nail-biter too…

Review of The Babadook (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 26 Nov 2014

The Babadook is a film that Val Lewton and Jacques Tourneur, screen horror's high priests of the unseen, would approve of…

Review of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 21 Nov 2014

Amirpour's film feels like an elaborately punkish code-scrambling gesture rather than a fully formed organic statement, but that doesn't matter-it…

Review of Nightcrawler (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 17 Nov 2014
