Review of Roma (2018)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 15 Dec 2018

Review of Mulholland Dr. (1999)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for One Room With A View (90) on 15 Dec 2018

Review of Y Tu Mamá También (2001)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for One Room With A View (90) on 15 Dec 2018

It's the near-silent scaffold Cuarón builds around the narrative tyranny of the bourgeois boys that becomes the moral of the story…

Review of The House of Mirth (2000)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for One Room With A View (90) on 15 Dec 2018

Lily's downfall plays out as an event of great pathos, because the act of dethroning her occurs without the characters and Davies' own diegesis…

Review of Far from Heaven (2002)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 15 Dec 2018

Haynes was miraculously able to provide a commentary on class, gender and race relations that not only dissected the utopian fallacy of '50s…

Review of Solaris (2002)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for One Room With A View (90) on 15 Dec 2018

Whereas Tarkovsky's Solaris was a cerebral engagement with concepts of memory, relativity and Lacanian theory, Soderbergh's is a classy narrative…

Review of Morvern Callar (2002)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for One Room With A View (90) on 15 Dec 2018

The narration submits to the sensitised state that Morvern retreats into as she embarks on what could loosely be described as a personal epiphany…

Review of My Summer of Love (2005)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for One Room With A View (90) on 15 Dec 2018

Review of Sightseers (2012)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

It's hard to quibble with Sightseers, and its satirical, observational eye is spot on, mining to laser-like effect hitherto underdocumented…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

Changeling is such a dead weight of poor, blandly prestigious Hollywood genre cinema…

Review of Breathless (1983)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

Godard is, in a sense, flaunting how he can make a film so vibrant, out of raw materials so flighty, so airy (the 'Breathless' of the title)…

Review of Training Day (2001)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

Training Day is not a completely unnuanced parable on policing and a nice disavowal of the movie-perpetuated cliché of smug, streetwise copdom…

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

Garfield's turn as Peter Parker is unbearably mannered and close to unwatchable at times…

Review of Captain Phillips (2013)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

Review of Only God Forgives (2013)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018
