Review of The Lobster (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 May 2016

In the end, all the strangeness adds up towards something genuinely significant: an atypically rich and substantial comedy that's stuffed with…

Review of Search Party (2014)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 May 2016

Given how good the cast often are elsewhere, it doesn’t seem unfair to put this at Armstrong’s door, and the film has a very first-time-director…

Review of Search Party (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 13 May 2016

Given how good the cast often are elsewhere, it doesn’t seem unfair to put this at Armstrong’s door, and the film has a very first-time-director…

Review of Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 05 May 2016

At its best, the film becomes something winningly subversive…

Review of The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 03 May 2016

There’s very little in The Huntsman: Winter's War itself that is actively bad…

Review of Elstree 1976 (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 01 May 2016

Without patronizing or condescending, it’s an examination of how fame can change us and haunt us, and of the complicated relationships that…

Review of Valley of Love (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 29 Feb 2016

A film as mercurial as this can be an impressive thing, but the back half is so filled with half-baked metaphysics, pseudo-Lynchian maybe-dreams,…

Review of Triple 9 (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 21 Feb 2016

As well-handled as the set pieces are, the connective tissue doesn’t pull you along, and then collapses completely in a messy, unsatisfying…

Review of Chronic (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 18 Feb 2016

It's a stinker of an ending tacked on to a disappointing third act (which is at least lifted up by Bartlett's performance), and it's a shame…

Review of Triple Threat (2019)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 Feb 2016

As well-handled as the set pieces are, the connective tissue doesn’t pull you along, and then collapses completely in a messy, unsatisfying…

Review of Triple Frontier (2019)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 Feb 2016

As well-handled as the set pieces are, the connective tissue doesn’t pull you along, and then collapses completely in a messy, unsatisfying…

Review of The Lovers and the Despot (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 31 Jan 2016

The tale of Choi and Shin is a true stranger-than-fiction one, as good a piece of material as a filmmaker could help for…

Review of Arabian Nights: Volume 2, The Desolate One (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 Dec 2015

For all the film’s politics, Arabian Nights can also be whimsical, swooningly romantic, inspiring, fascinating, or deeply sad…

Review of Arabian Nights: Volume 3, The Enchanted One (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 Dec 2015

It’s dizzying stuff, and virtually everything that Gomes tries his hand to works: it’s a film that’s moving, sad, exciting, fiery, and funny…

Review of The Boy and the Beast (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 03 Dec 2015

There are elements of The Boy And The Beast that undoubtedly reinforce the promise that Hosoda holds: it’s a treat to look at, is inventive…

Review of My Scientology Movie (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 23 Oct 2015

The main character makes an engaging guide as well as a humorous one, and putting the process in the foreground helps to make it a film that's…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 20 Oct 2015

In general, this feels like a film patched together out of endless hastily-drafted script rewrites rather than a cohesive vision…

Review of Bone Tomahawk (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 Oct 2015

Bone Tomahawk is a proper Western, a proper horror movie, and by combining the two, becomes something else entirely, and proves hugely enjoyable…

Review of Beeba Boys (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 09 Oct 2015

From a distance, Beeba Boys looked like it had the potential to be a genuinely fresh take on the gangster movie, and it delivers on that promise…

Review of Legend (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 11 Sep 2015

It’s worth the price of admission just to see Hardy’s Reggie performance, which is up among his best work…
