Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013)

By Richard I (201) on 28 Aug 2018

Review of The Croods (2013)

By Richard I (201) on 26 Aug 2018

Review of Aberdeen (2000)

By Richard I (201) on 25 Aug 2018

Appalling student film script, plotting and characterisation that shows that good acting is entirely dependent on good writing and direction,…

Review of Fast Girls (2012)

By Richard I (201) on 18 Aug 2018

You could be patronising and call it a plucky little fighter, but it's actually a student film writ large, with a that'll do approach to dialogue…

Review of Headhunters (2011)

By Richard I (201) on 09 Aug 2018

In attempting to be both a noir and a man-on-the-run thriller, Headhunters already has big shoes to fill, but when the pitch is to also add…

Review of Paradise: Hope (2013)

By Richard I (201) on 22 Jul 2018

Though the style of filming is an acquired taste (that I do not necessarily have), there is no doubting the skill of the film-maker and the…

Review of The Man in the White Suit (1951)

By Richard I (201) on 06 Jul 2018

A trip down memory lane in its portrayal of corporate life and union behaviour, the message that an innate conservatism means we are all resistant…

Review of Obvious Child (2014)

By Richard I (201) on 27 Apr 2018

Played perfectly, and containing all the usual absurdities and loose-ends of romantic comedies, neatly scripted and with a lead who manages…

Review of Rise of the Guardians (2012)

By Richard I (201) on 16 Apr 2018

A kid's film that's not afraid to go to some very dark places with pizazz and humour and which ultimately celebrates courage, magic and the…

Review of David Brent: Life on the Road (2016)

Review of The Sapphires (2012)

By Richard I (201) on 09 Feb 2018

Black people good. White people who like 'black' music good. The rest are racist. Plus an unfunny script. Equals this movie…

Review of Ladies in Lavender (2004)

By Richard I (201) on 05 Feb 2018
