Review of Certain Women (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 12 Oct 2016

Certain Women, despite giving each of its stories a brief encapsulating coda, isn't merely open-ended-it seems to deny the very idea of narrative…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 17 Sep 2016

Superbly acted and executed, this spare piece of storytelling marks an assertive feature debut for theatre and opera director William Oldroyd…

Review of The Woman Who Left (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 16 Sep 2016

At once over-repetitive and less surprisingly digressive than some of his other films, The Woman Who Left may not represent Diaz at his absolute…

Review of Chan Is Missing (1982)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2016

Wang makes Chan Is Missing to a similar recipe-the film is imbued with, and is entirely about, Chinese-ness, but adopts a quintessentially…

Review of Jackie (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 06 Sep 2016

Larraín’s highly varied visual invention and command of complex structure serve as a reminder of how vitally an imaginative director can…

Review of One More Time with Feeling (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 04 Sep 2016

To say that Dominik’s film touches on a raw nerve is an understatement, but the film, dedicated to the memory of Arthur, is revealing both…

Review of Julieta (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 24 Aug 2016

Almodvar's most sombre to date -it is to airline farce I'm So Excited! as Interiors was to Woody Allen's Bananas…

Review of Being 17 (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 14 Aug 2016

Co-scripted by Céline Sciamma, director of Water Lilies and Girlhood, Being 17 manifestly benefits from her insight into the problems of young…

Review of The Tenth Man (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 01 Aug 2016

Low-key in mood, Daniel Burman’s film adeptly balances character-driven drama, picaresque street humour and quasi-documentary content, depicting…

Review of Right Now, Wrong Then (2015)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 16 Jun 2016

Hong's films make us realize that people like Chunsu have the potential to make life pretty dreadful for themselves and everyone around them,…

Review of Zero Days (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 23 May 2016

While the urgency of the message emerges powerfully, the details are often hard to absorb, as Gibney skips from political information to technical…

Review of Raw (2017)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 22 May 2016

The young cast, from the newbie leads to an army of go-for-it extras, are terrific, and Marillier is something else – ferociously expressive…

Review of Dog Eat Dog (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 20 May 2016

One thing that can be said about brazen crime comedy Dog Eat Dog is that it’s a full-blooded venture in every respect, with Schrader and…

Review of American Honey (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 19 May 2016

While American Honey exudes ample energy, this episodic piece doesn’t muster much narrative drive over its daunting running time of two and…

Review of Gimme Danger (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 19 May 2016

Jarmusch fans won’t find much of the director’s signature touch here, as he self-effacingly pays homage to a beloved act – Stooges fans…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Sight and Sound (827) on 19 May 2016

The visual style is soberly realist, Patrick Orth's photography strictly no-frills…

Review of The Nice Guys (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 14 May 2016

The Nice Guys harks back to the 70s golden age of revisionist detective thrillers, but the result feels too knowingly déja vu, rather than…

Review of Café Society (2016)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Screen International (2,241) on 10 May 2016

A bittersweet comedy of manners that sees Allen pushing the boat out stylistically and in narrative ambition, even as he treads familiar ground…

Review of Dheepan (2015)
