Review of The Handmaiden (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 12 Apr 2017

In this hyper-intricate construction of false leads and surprise reversals, the ultimate dupe - and a very willing one - is the viewer…

Review of Aquarius (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 24 Mar 2017

Without over-explaining, the film suggests that beneath the elegance of Boa Viagem and, by implication, respectable Brazilian society, there…

Review of Have a Nice Day (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 21 Feb 2017

Review of The Party (2017)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 13 Feb 2017

The most enjoyable film yet from a director whose conceptual seriousness has often seemed daunting…

Review of Butterfly Kisses (2017)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 12 Feb 2017

A striking feature debut for director Rafael Kapelinski…

Review of Frantz (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 19 Jan 2017

Frantz is arguably one of the straightest films Ozon has made – in both the dramatic and the sexual senses – but his complex sensibilities…

Review of Paterson (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 03 Jan 2017

Still, Paterson's single week offers a persuasive manifesto for a contemplative, non-incident-based form of poetic cinema, and for the virtues…

Review of The Eyes of My Mother (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 02 Dec 2016

Pesce undeniably has a vision and a mastery very much his own…

Review of Baden Baden (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 21 Nov 2016

Baden Baden is an intimate, at times seemingly whimsical narrative that appears to drift almost free-associatively from episode to episode…

Review of I Am Not Madame Bovary (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 18 Nov 2016

130-plus minutes is a long time to wait for a glimpse of what someone is, rather than what she's not…

Review of Doctor Strange (2016)

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

Doctor Strange seems to represent the point at which the art of CGI and the discipline of imagining visual images spatially seems to have reached…

Review of Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Oct 2016

The first hour keeps the suspense admirably taut, the 1967 period setting and sense of domestic claustrophobia bringing a twist of style that…

Review of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Oct 2016

Admittedly, it's also a touch flavour-free, but it applies itself to telling its story single-mindedly, with a minimum of digression and frills…

Review of Trolls (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Oct 2016

If you like kids' movies served with a side of po-mo knowingness, as in The Lego Movie and the Jason Segel/Amy Adams Muppets film, you'll have…

Review of Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Oct 2016

The treatment for this action spoof could have been written on the back of a matchbox - of a single match, even…

Review of Queen of Katwe (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 22 Oct 2016

As feelgood stories of empowerment go, this has a ring of authenticity and mixes intelligence with irreducible emotional immediacy…

Review of Creepy (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 17 Oct 2016

When the film shifts into territory less Hitchcockian than Lynchian – with a touch of Park Chan-wook’s Asian Gothic – the quiet confidence…
