Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 11 Mar 2018

Slow and idiosyncratic, it's difficult to know which is working harder -- the driving score by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood or Joaquin Phoenix…

Review of Game Night (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Mar 2018

This is good, if slightly lightweight fun, albeit with Bateman and McAdams on sharp enough form to make you realise how long it's been since…

Review of Red Sparrow (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Mar 2018

Alas, this is one sparrow that just doesn't fly…

Review of Dark River (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 25 Feb 2018

Dark secrets, general unhappiness and big performances abound in an unrelenting misery-fest that leaves you with the feeling that writer-director…

Review of I, Tonya (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 25 Feb 2018

Robbie, who produces as well as stars, is to be congratulated on making one of the few Oscar contenders that can be watched and enjoyed rather…

Review of The 15:17 to Paris (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 11 Feb 2018

The result clearly aspires to be another United 93 but falls significantly short…

Review of Black Panther (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 11 Feb 2018

This is one superhero film that definitely punches above the normal crash-bang-wallop weight…

Review of Journey's End (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Feb 2018

While it clearly has nothing like the budget or visual effects that Steven Spielberg lavished on War Horse, it does have two very important…

Review of Phantom Thread (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Feb 2018

The frocks, period setting and acting are all exquisite, and both Day-Lewis and Manville deserve their Oscar nominations…

Review of Lies We Tell (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Feb 2018

There's lots of atmosphere and dramatic potential here, but tangled story-telling and jump-cut editing combine to ensure it's never quite realised…

Review of Winchester (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Feb 2018

It's essentially a things-that-go-bump-in- the-night-in-a-spooky-old-house film and it does deliver a few decent scares, although the frights…

Review of Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Feb 2018

Roman J Israel, Esq is a rambling mess of a film that sees Denzel Washington playing a former civil-rights activist who, perhaps held back…

Review of Den of Thieves (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 04 Feb 2018

Derivative, nasty and at least half an hour too long, it's one of the worst films you'll see all year…

Review of Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 28 Jan 2018

It's a class above anything that's gone before…

Review of 12 Strong (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 28 Jan 2018

It has a fine cast led by Chris Hemsworth, brilliantly staged fighting scenes, and shows that, for the first time in decades, American soldiers…

Review of Early Man (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 28 Jan 2018

If you're going to poke fun at the already much-lampooned game of football, you need to be funnier, cleverer and more inventive than this…

Review of Last Flag Flying (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 28 Jan 2018

What ensues is essentially a road trip, with much joshing and reflection, the men all haunted by a distinctly unheroic past…

Review of Downsizing (2017)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 28 Jan 2018

There are some funny lines here, but the story rambles inordinately…

Review of The Commuter (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 21 Jan 2018

Liam Neeson reinvented himself as an action hero with Taken…

Review of The Final Year (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 21 Jan 2018
