Review of Blast from the Past (1999)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Guardian (4,584) on 21 Mar 2014

Despite its faintly mechanical construction, Blast From The Past is very classy, and the improbable comic duo of Spacek and Walken provide…

Review of The Big Sleep (1946)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 07 Mar 2014

The Big Sleep is as fresh and perverse as ever, and remains one of Hollywood's most entrancingly strange bedtime stories…

Review of Wisconsin Death Trip (1999)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Guardian (4,584) on 03 Mar 2014

Wisconsin Death Trip is always lyrical, sometimes blackly farcical, and sometimes terrifying, as it reveals the romanticised American frontier's…

Review of Gravity (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 02 Mar 2014

This is a story about people floating through space, and Alfonso Cuarón's feature brilliantly contrives to make the viewer feel similarly…

Review of Winter's Tale (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 23 Feb 2014

Findlay narrates in huge chunks of religiose voice-over. Nothing has been without purpose - nothing, she concludes. Well, perhaps not nothing…

Review of Stranger by the Lake (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 23 Feb 2014

However you read it, the film is compelling and audaciously candid in its erotic charge, while an ending that literally leaves us in the dark…

Review of Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 23 Feb 2014

You thought there was nothing new to add to the vampire genre…

Review of Jimmy P. (2013)

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

In warming quite a lot to Jimmy P, it's possible that I've gravitated to what Desplechin's long-term admirers might regard as the wrong film…

Review of Shakespeare in Love (1998)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Guardian (4,584) on 11 Feb 2014

Sniping at what's already been celebrated as a major national triumph always looks not-quite-cricket, but Madden's film is transparently one…

Review of Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

Allen seems uninterested in pushing his material beyond impersonally generic, or even in thinking things through…

Review of Journal de France (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 06 Feb 2014

This fascinating film really belongs to those people whose names never made the history books, barely even their local newspaper headlines…

Review of How I Live Now (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

[A]rguably delves into country matters more deeply than any precursor in cinema…

Review of Fill the Void (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 06 Feb 2014

As opposed to the bleak view of sexual subjugation in Kadosh, Amos Gitai's 1999 film about Hasidic marriage, Fill the Void sees Burshtein fortrightly…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

Writer-director Sebastián Lelio, whose fourth feature this is, has a confident way of parceling out exuberance and melancholy in a setting…

Review of God Help the Girl (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

It's easy to categorize Murdoch's film as a vanity project, but if it is, it's a very honest one…

Review of Saving Mr. Banks (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

Saving Mr. Banks depicts cinema as a perverse nexus of capitalism and psychoanalysis…

Review of Prisoners (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

Prisoners -- sometimes awkwardly, for the most part persuasively -- does a delicate balancing act between outright nightmare and naturalism…

Review of The Great Beauty (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

I can't remember when a film last gave me such a surge of pure pleasure -- no, outright euphoria -- as The Great Beauty…

Review of Camille Claudel 1915 (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

Camille Claudel 1915 is a film of stark, sober rewards, and possibly Dumont's finest…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Feb 2014

Writer-director Sebastián Lelio, whose fourth feature this is, has a confident way of parceling out exuberance and melancholy in a setting…
