Review of Victoria (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

One moment of undeniable brilliance explains why she embarks on such a dangerous nocturnal adventure but can't stop the film from slowly descending…

Review of Golden Years (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

It's a lovely idea but the execution falls short on every count, hampered by some strange casting, some seriously misfiring comedy and a screenplay…

Review of The Jungle Book (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Even die-hard devotees of the original will have to grudgingly acknowledge that it builds to a dramatic and well-worked law-of-the-jungle climax…

Review of Goosebumps (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Goosebumps is a film that delivers a modicum of timely spectacle for half-term but almost nothing in the way of convincing movie magic…

Review of The Forest (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Dormer is a refreshing presence but the film is short of genuine, grown-up scares…

Review of Trumbo (2007)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

This all sounds rather grim and ever-so slightly worthy stuff, but Cranston's performance brings it properly to life, capturing not just the…

Review of Jane Got a Gun (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

The personal relationships are pleasingly complex, characters you start off loathing you end up liking, and, of course, there's a terrific…

Review of Battle Mountain: Graeme Obree's Story (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

A fascinating and quietly revealing portrait of a man who, by his own admission, is unbalanced, obsessional and battles depression, yet still…

Review of Despite the Falling Snow (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

With the action jumping backwards and forwards in time, the plot is not always easy to follow, and a gratuitous lesbian romance does little…

Review of The Nice Guys (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

Crowe is better -- and funnier -- than he has been for a long while but Gosling struggles to bring his character (a hard-drinking single father)…

Review of Learning to Drive (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

Sarah Kernochan supplies an insightful screenplay that deals with illegal immigration, arranged marriage and institutional racism along the…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

The mumbled narration -- almost like a film-poem, if you like -- just goes on and on and on, as Rick addresses the really-not-very-big questions…

Review of Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

(Grant) gives a properly mature performance that is everything that Streep's is not -- subtle, nuanced and emotionally complex…

Review of My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

What is essentially 100 minutes of product placement for Hasbro toys is as loud, colourful and unrelentingly shrill as you could possibly imagine…

Review of The Keeping Room (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

For genre-lovers, this tense and nasty drama is definitely worth a look…

Review of Green Room (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

Stewart is splendidly sinister as the club owner, while writer-director Jeremy Saulnier certainly knows what he's doing…

Review of Me Before You (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

Apparently unaware of the old film-acting adage that less is more, she (Emilia Clarke) over-acts from scene-setting beginning to would-be tear-jerking…

Review of The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

Angry Birds shows that what happily fritters away a few idle moments on your mobile phone doesn't necessarily have the substance for a 95-minute…

Review of Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017

This is as rude, crude and occasionally quite funny as ever…

Review of Warcraft (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 22 Oct 2017
