Review of Hostiles (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 08 Jan 2018

Hostiles does not make the common mistake of insultingly sentimentalising Native Americans…

Review of All the Money in the World (2017)

Plummer memorably portrays him (J. Paul Getty) as a sly, watery-eyed egomaniac…

Review of Molly's Game (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 03 Jan 2018

Two hours and 20 minutes is longer than your average superhero yarn, but thanks to Sorkin's sparkling script and Chastain's intelligent acting,…

Review of Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Dec 2017

The plots of the Pitch Perfect films are never complex, and this one seems especially rudimentary…

Review of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 22 Dec 2017

Best of all, though, is Jack Black, whom I could watch pretending to be a pampered teenage prom queen till the cows come home…

Review of Stronger (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 10 Dec 2017

One of the most refreshing things about David Gordon Green's film is its avoidance of stars and stripes jingoism…

Review of Better Watch Out (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 10 Dec 2017

Clever, mean-spirited, gleefully unpleasant, Better Watch Out is an efficiently nasty Yuletide comic horror that operates as a sort of anti…

Review of Menashe (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 10 Dec 2017

It's a touching, intimate film conducted mainly in Yiddish, and while the culture is particular, the human problems are universal…

Review of The Disaster Artist (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 10 Dec 2017

Franco's portrayal of him is brilliant: obscured by prosthetics and that impenetrable accent, he digs deep into Tommy's complex and by no means…

Review of Jane (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 26 Nov 2017

Review of Daddy's Home 2 (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 26 Nov 2017

It's more of the same, and is probably funnier than the first film, but Daddy's Home 2 is the opposite of subtle and Gibson's performance is bizarre…

Review of Suburbicon (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 26 Nov 2017

Suburbicon makes much of the venality lurking behind the carefully tended facades of post-war America's newly minted suburbia, and is not without…

Review of No Stone Unturned (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2017

Gibney's film honours the persistence of those families who have campaigned with great dignity for over two decades to see justice done…

Review of Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2017

All very interesting, no doubt, but this film tells its story in stilted fits and starts, and is oddly tasteful and decorous in its treatment…

Review of Paddington 2 (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2017

Yet again Paul King and his co-writer Simon Farnaby have wonderfully caught the playful innocence of the original stories while adding more…

Review of The Florida Project (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2017

The Florida Project is not a sentimental film and never fetishises its protagonists' poverty…

Review of Conor McGregor: Notorious (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 03 Nov 2017

For all his swagger, McGregor is more likeable than I thought and this watchable, if not especially illuminating, film will be warmly welcomed…

Review of Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 03 Nov 2017
