Review of Suspiria (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 31 Aug 2018

It is a film of surfaces, admittedly, but one made by perhaps our era’s best director of surfaces…

Review of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 31 Aug 2018

A great deal of Buster Scruggs might ultimately be a touch undercooked by the mercurial siblings’ standards, but dagnabbit if there isn’s…

Review of Roma (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 30 Aug 2018

Despite the echoes of Fellini, the result feels almost new in a way and given the immersive nature of Roma it doesn’t seem so radical to…

Review of Infinite Football (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 05 Jun 2018

One of the most fascinating things about Infinite Football is that Porumboiu never feels the need to feed his pal any rope in order to get…

Review of A Skin So Soft (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 03 Jun 2018

Côté’s film does work very well for the most part as a somewhat cold, ornamental study of what our epidermal tissue looks like at terminal mass…

Review of Shoplifters (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 18 May 2018

By drawing our empathy for such morally dubious and potentially damaging characters, Shoplifters remains a real heartbreaker, the kind of which…

Review of Happy as Lazzaro (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 17 May 2018

You could argue that Lazzaro Felice owes a debt to Pasolini with its fascination for peasants, saints, and faces, or even Gabriel Garcia Marquez…

Review of Burning (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 17 May 2018

Burning might not have a huge amount going on below its gorgeous surface, but it drags the viewer along with all the seductive intrigue of…

Review of Burning (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 16 May 2018

Burning might not have a huge amount going on below its gorgeous surface, but it drags the viewer along with all the seductive intrigue of…

Review of Border (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 16 May 2018

Border is only really at its best when focusing on Tina’s rediscovery of her true nature…

Review of Cold War (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 16 May 2018

If talk is cheap and deceptive — maybe even dangerous at times — in Cold War, music certainly is not…

Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 15 May 2018

A perfectly decent comedy that will be accessible enough for a wide mainstream audience…

Review of John McEnroe: In the Realm of Perfection (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 26 Mar 2018

In The Realm of Perfection is in essence about that most slippery of topics: the beauty of the game…

Review of Unsane (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 23 Feb 2018

What first appeared to be a fun riff on One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest soon transforms into something much darker…

Review of Grass (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 19 Feb 2018

Hong is generally at his best when examining how men and women interact and this setting allows him to once again put those subtleties and…

Review of Isle of Dogs (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 16 Feb 2018

One does not necessarily have to be fond of canines in order to love Isle of Dogs, but it helps…

Review of Lean on Pete (2018)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 08 Feb 2018

Lean on Pete is certainly not a film without qualities (credit to the supporting cast and Magnus Nordenhof Jønck’s cinematography in particular),…

Review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 10 Sep 2017

McDonagh’s latest work is simply exceptional; a film so rich with narrative fluidity, profane laughs, standout performances and complex character…

Review of Suburbicon (2017)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 05 Sep 2017

The meat of Suburbicon is certainly Grade-A, but no expense has been spared on the trimmings either…

Review of The Shape of Water (2017)

By Rory O'connor (154) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 01 Sep 2017

In order to enjoy the myriad pleasures of del Toro’s world — with all its counterpointed humor, quicksilver pacing, endearing humanity,…
