Review of Captain Phillips (2013)

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

[W]e're carried along not just by the momentum of events, but by the precision with which they're depicted…

Review of Bastards (2013)

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

But even if it is merely a sketch or fragment, an elegant offhand gesture, this film is pure Denis and richly unsettling…

Review of Nebraska (2013)

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

[A]n odyssey into the past, into missed opportunities, and into the complexities of an everyday family of malcontents…

Review of Rush (2013)

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

Rush is pure 'print the myth' stuff -- but since both its heroes really are myths, it gets away with it, with more grace and vigor than you…

Review of Her (2013)

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

[A] tender, wry, deceptively modest package -- and the closer you look, the more it reveals itself to be the proverbial Movie For Our Times…

Review of Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 27 Jan 2014

Boyle set out to make this particular film rather than a gritty social panorama along the lines of Brazilian favela drama City of God…

Review of Berberian Sound Studio (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 31 Dec 2013

If you're open to films that fearlessly twist the conventions, and that mine the language of sound and image for their own strange potential,…

Review of White Reindeer (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 05 Dec 2013

Likeably modest, White Reindeer is no-frills sitcom stuff, but its tartness can make you squirm deliciously…

Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 12 Sep 2013

What you get in these performances is intelligence, emotion and physicality, and when they come together as combustively as they do here, what…

Review of Night Across the Street (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 04 Feb 2013

Playful and wildly imaginative to the last, this film shows Ruiz going out dreaming, and laughing…

Review of The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 08 Jan 2013

The pleasure in The Cabin in the Woods comes from its audacious tuggings-away of the dramatic rug under your feet…

Review of Saraband (2003)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 17 Jun 2012

Saraband is a commandingly restrained final composition and -- as the theme of classical musicianship suggests -- very much an affair of close…

Review of Cosmopolis (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 17 Jun 2012

Cosmopolis may, like Packer's limo, be an elaborately conceived but essentially vacant vehicle -- yet it has a master at the wheel…

Review of You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 22 May 2012

A film of bristling intelligence that will delight lovers of cerebral upmarket cinema…

Review of Holy Motors (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 22 May 2012

At times, the film achieves a hypnotic intensity. But for much of the time, Carax too visibly strains at poetic resonance…

Review of Amour (2012)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 19 May 2012

Hanekes absolute control makes the film intensely involving and quietly moving, rather than harrowing…

Review of The Deep Blue Sea (2011)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 29 Nov 2011

Davies vividly catches the mood of Rattigan's tattered post-war England, of painfully observed proprieties on one hand, untameable desire on…

Review of The Deep Blue Sea (1994)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 29 Nov 2011

Davies vividly catches the mood of Rattigan's tattered post-war England, of painfully observed proprieties on one hand, untameable desire on…

Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 26 Oct 2011

Swinton is as mesmerising as ever, although the show is stolen by the two Kevins - teenager Ezra Miller and youngster Jasper Newell…

Review of Le Havre (2011)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 17 Oct 2011
