Review of In Between (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 21 Sep 2017

Kanboura is given more opportunities to convey wider emotional range. Her quiet, studious Nour is the emotional centre of Hamoud's brilliant film…

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 14 Sep 2017

For those who've enjoyed Armando Iannucci's latter day career as the driving force behind The Thick Of It and Veep, The Death Of Stalin reassuringly…

Review of A Ghost Story (2017)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 10 Aug 2017

[Casey] Affleck does an amazing job, managing to be hangdog while buried under a bedsheet for most of the film; how different would [A Ghost…

Review of England Is Mine (2017)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 27 Jul 2017

Unlike recent biopics Control and Nowhere Boy, England Is Mine never quite brings its subject clearly into focus…

Review of The Beguiled (2017)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 08 Jun 2017

Both Kidman and Farrell are on splendid form for Coppola…

Review of Jawbone (2017)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 01 Jun 2017

Like Steve McQueen's Shame or Gerard Johnson's Hyena, Jawbone is an intense and close-up depiction of a scarred individual going about his…

Review of Mindhorn (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 04 May 2017

Mindhorn is a familiar comic creation in the tradition of Alan Partridge or Stephen Toast - pompous, overbearing, lacking self-awareness…

Review of The Handmaiden (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 06 Apr 2017

Much as Lady Hideko's house is a clash of Western and Japanese architecture that somehow coalesces, so The Handmaiden mixes classical, formal…

Review of I Am Not Your Negro (2017)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 06 Apr 2017

Raoul Peck has crafted a formidable documentary loosely structured around Baldwin's notes alongside archival footage stretching from the Civil…

Review of Personal Shopper (2016)

Review of Certain Women (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 03 Mar 2017

These are all understated pieces, but like the performances they are intensely felt. Gladstone and Stewart, in particular, deliver exemplary work…

Review of Moonlight (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 17 Feb 2017

Moonlight is a relatively intimate piece. This works to its advantages, certainly, in the final quiet set-piece between Chiron and Andre…

Review of T2 Trainspotting (2017)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 26 Jan 2017

T2 Trainspotting does a good job of honouring the original while finding something new to say, after all, about its roguish anti-heroes…

Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 12 Jan 2017

Lonergan's film has the same qualities as an early Springsteen song -- a narrative filled with a haunting, pervasive sadness, filled with guilt…

Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 16 Dec 2016

Much of Rogue One is a push-me pull-you with George Lucas' original films…

Review of Silence (2017)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 16 Dec 2016

[Neeson gives] a subtle, complex performance, where we are invited to conclude that Ferreira has identified the challenge to be located in…

Review of Paterson (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 18 Nov 2016

Review of War on Everyone (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 06 Oct 2016

It is fun enough, but it lacks the richness and complexity of McDonagh's earlier work…

Review of Supersonic (2016)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 29 Sep 2016

Whitecross' problems aren't just limited to the familiarity of the tale -- much of it blasted onto the front pages of the tabloids at the time…
