Review of Dheepan (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

The balance between social commentary and genre (there are some unbelievably gripping and suspenseful sequences) is well managed by Audiard at first…

Review of Macbeth (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

Fashioning an aesthetic which is both highly stylised and naturalistic, Kurzel crafts a rich banquet of a film (intended!)…

Review of Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

Linklater's a genius at concretising what are almost intangible sentiments and in tapping into a certain temporal truth about life…

Review of Spotlight (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

It's clearly a salient story to tell, and the earnestness of the production makes it trundle along breezily enough to its predictable conclusion…

Review of Room (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

Any of its ancillary benefits as a work of sheer emotional force and its performances of staggering grace are obscured by the bludgeoning conceitedness…

Review of Our Little Sister (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

It really is filmmaking at the highest pitch of intelligence: a work teeming with skill both cinematographically and dramaturgically…

Review of Notes on Blindness (2014)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

Review of Midnight Special (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

Nichols doesn't quite have the confidence to honour the tauter, darker bent of his leanings, instead pushing the material more towards a hackneyed…

Review of Anomalisa (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

It's another of Kaufman's ingenious works that instinctively understands the sometimes bathetic human quest for divinity amid an overarchingly…

Review of Weiner (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

The beauty of the film's representation of the Weiner-Abedin subplot is that a fiction film couldn't have captured it any better…

Review of Son of Saul (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

It's not literally filmed in a single take or real-time, but Nemes' storytelling mastery approximates that sensibility as we follow Saul through…

Review of Doctor Strange (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

Another package from the conveyer belt of prototypical superhero movies with crap CGI and a relentless cacophony of action sequences where…

Review of Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 04 Nov 2018

Too smart by half, and calibrated to within an inch of its life with its wannabe eccentric narrative, gags and 'cool' soundtrack choices…

Review of Okja (2017)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Bong has crafted, if nothing else, a pretty coruscating satire of modern society, and the unholy distance mankind is forging from the primal,…

Review of Shaun of the Dead (2004)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Wright's style is pure, cartoon aesthetic: all quick cuts, sharp points of focus, the precise merging of sound with a cut or pan and the crowd-pleasing…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Whit Stillman's Love and Friendship can be best read as a largely satirical nod to the now hugely over-familiar Austen mini-genre of films…

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

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018
