Review of True History of the Kelly Gang (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 10 Sep 2019

While the emotional intensity and somewhat protracted narrative can be exhausting, in visual terms the film is a tour de force, steeped in…

Review of The King (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 03 Sep 2019

Michôd’s film is a determinedly solemn and violent affair, which makes a sober political point at the end – but not before it has treated…

Review of For Sama (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 25 Jul 2019

Following the siege month by month through 2016, the film has a gripping narrative drive, with many sequences that work to variously harrowing…

Review of Frankie (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 23 May 2019

The episodic, ruminative and very talky mood suggests something between Chekhov and Eric Rohmer – or at moments, Woody Allen without the…

Review of Parasite (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 22 May 2019

Parasite is a malign delight from start to finish, with a Machiavellian sense of mischief and a cinematic brio that shows Bong revelling in…

Review of Synonyms (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 15 Feb 2019

The result is mixed: buoyantly energetic at times, manically unamusing at others and decidedly overstretched…

Review of By the Grace of God (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 14 Feb 2019

Superbly acted and highly controlled, the film doesn’t afford easy entertainment, its slow pace and weighty sense of narrative responsibility…

Review of By the Grace of God (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 14 Feb 2019

Superbly acted and highly controlled, the film doesn’t afford easy entertainment, its slow pace and weighty sense of narrative responsibility…

Review of Cold Case Hammarskjöld (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 01 Feb 2019

However sceptical you feel about Brügger’s approach, and his findings, this is an arresting, troubling work – and, for all the horror,…

Review of All Is True (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 21 Dec 2018

A tender, intelligent imagining of the playwright in retirement…

Review of I, Robot (2004)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 14 Dec 2018

Given how hard it is to find new ideas in mainstream screen sci-fi these days, the film does a creditable job of repackaging standard speculative…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 30 Oct 2018

For now, I'll settle for saying that the shock and richness of High Life are wonderfully enchanting and perplexing…

Review of Shirkers (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 30 Oct 2018

On one level, Shirkers is a memoir - a fond, self-deprecating mulling-over of Tan's crazy, inspired, partly embarrassing but furiously creative youth…

Review of Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 30 Oct 2018

It's a best-of-the-'60s jukebox, but it has a few hit tunes among the duds, and some enjoyable surprise B-sides that you really don't expect…

Review of Life and Nothing More (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 23 Oct 2018

So compellingly directed and acted that for much of the time we could almost be watching a documentary, Life and Nothing More is an involving,…

Review of The Waldheim Waltz (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 17 Oct 2018

While the film recounts events three decades ago, it couldn’t be more relevant today…

Review of Mandy (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 26 Sep 2018

Canadian director [Panos] Cosmatos doesn't just push the boat out in Mandy, he mobilizes the whole fleet, on a brutally aggressive war footing…

Review of The Public Image Is Rotten (2017)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 26 Sep 2018

Watchable and intermittently entertaining, if hardly incisive, and slightly over-long at 105 minutes, The Public Image Is Rotten includes much…

Review of Our time (2019)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 12 Sep 2018

A film of considerable visual poetry and, at times, grandeur, Our Time is unmistakably the work of the ambitious, visionary director behind…

Review of Museo (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 06 Sep 2018

In terms of execution and panache, Museum has the mark of a true original – at least, of a film-maker discovering his own voice through fearlessly…
