Review of Legend (1985)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 08 Sep 2015

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

Review of The Little Prince (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 25 May 2015

The book is so counter to our contemporary narrative demands that liberties would need to be taken for a movie version, and for the most part…

Review of Green Room (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 19 May 2015

An exciting, splattery, funny genre movie that somehow never once feels disposable…

Review of Son of Saul (2015)

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

Though it has a few elements of its construction that might be questionable, it's mostly a powerful, thoughtful, and visually striking picture…

Review of The Sea of Trees (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 14 May 2015

From the cloying, ever-present score to the complete lack of narrative momentum, it all adds up to a film that's easily Van Sant's worst, and…

Review of Queen & Country (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 25 Jan 2015

Queen & Country is hardly reinventing the wheel, but it's charming, evocative and (mostly) well-performed, and were Boorman to continue with…

Review of Ex Machina (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 21 Jan 2015

The picture is a triumph: it's arguably Garland’s tightest and most fascinating screenplay to date, brought to life with meticulous filmmaking…

Review of Black Sea (2009)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 12 Dec 2014

It'll pass a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon without too much trouble…

Review of Paddington (2014)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 04 Dec 2014

We're just pleased to have a family film in the truest sense of the word, one that's genuinely hilarious, touching and inventive to both kids…

Review of Son of a Gun (2014)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 22 Nov 2014

Avery can't commit to whether he's making a gritty Animal Kingdom-style crime picture, or a light caper film, and the final result is wonky…

Review of Penance (2009)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 13 Nov 2014

It’s a reminder of what a tremendously talented writer and director Kiyoshi Kurosawa is, and hopefully we’ll see him venturing back to…

Review of Penance (2013)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 13 Nov 2014

Review of Serena (2014)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 20 Oct 2014

The film isn't bad enough to be some kind of potential cult classic: it's tedious, with even the stranger moments and plot developments failing…

Review of Monsters: Dark Continent (2014)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 Oct 2014

A sour, tedious and derivative film that doesn't just prove disappointing in its own right, it actively makes us resent the first film retroactively…

Review of Testament of Youth (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 13 Oct 2014

Never, for one second, is Vikander anything less than entirely truthful…

Review of The Possibilities Are Endless (2014)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 12 Oct 2014

Stunningly photographed by Richard Stewart, and gorgeously scored by Collins and a handful of collaborators, The Possibilities are Endless…

Review of The Falling (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 10 Oct 2014

Every time the picture opens a fascinating door, you're held back from going through by a naff filmmaking choice or a rote story move…

Review of Pride (2014)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 24 Sep 2014
