Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

I love the anger, the comedy and the use of music but untangling the moral rights and wrongs is a nightmare, with Lysistrata's story of female…

Review of Allied (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

The film does have a modest, commercial watchability, but Steven Knight's screenplay never quite convinces, while Zemeckis seems to believe…

Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

It's beautifully acted, particularly by Affleck, but so steeped in multi-layered misery that you do worry about its prospects at the box office…

Review of Split (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

McAvoy has an absolute ball, Betty Buckley is spot-on as his over-dedicated psychiatrist and Morgan star Anya Taylor-Joy definitely catches…

Review of A United Kingdom (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

One of the great British films of 2016: it will send you out into the night knowing a little more about the world and, just possibly, quietly…

Review of American Pastoral (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

The film is a tad too long but nevertheless is well acted and rather moving…

Review of Denial (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

Denial spends its first 20 minutes labouring under a rather clunky, wordy screenplay…

Review of Nocturnal Animals (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

It reminded me of David Cronenberg's Maps To The Stars... but not as good and more frustrating…

Review of Jackie (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

It's one of the must-sees of this award season…

Review of Denial (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

Denial spends its first 20 minutes labouring under a rather clunky, wordy screenplay…

Review of Christine (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

Rebecca Hall has the misfortune to be extremely good in a film that always feels somewhat exploitative and too miserable to be a rewarding watch…

Review of Sing (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

It's over-long and flags when we need it to build to a climax but it's also colourful, funny and tuneful, and sometimes that's good enough…

Review of The Pass (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

The film makes little effort to conceal its theatrical origins -- the heightened-reality style works well on stage but struggles to convince here…

Review of Mum's List (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

It's a tough watch but a powerful one, and beautifully acted not just by Fox and Spall but by William and Matthew Stagg, as their young sons…

Review of The Accountant (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

Starring Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick, it was always going to be watchable, but I can promise you that as you settle down to it, nothing can…

Review of Why Him? (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

Park your brain in the right gear and Why Him…

Review of Moana (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

After a sluggish start, things do improve but there are obvious structural echoes of Frozen and the incidental comedy is clumsy. Good but not great…

Review of The Light Between Oceans (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

While it's undeniably good-looking and well-acted by a cast that eventually includes Rachel Weisz, what duly ensues is predictable, pretty…

Review of Silence (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

At a buttock-numbing two hours and 41 minutes, my goodness this is hard work…

Review of The Eagle Huntress (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Oct 2017

David Attenborough's Planet Earth II has set the bar high for wildlife documentaries but The Eagle Huntress comfortably makes it over, thanks…
