By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 04 Nov 2019

Review of After the Wedding (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 04 Nov 2019

This story of motherhood and moral conundrums, of privilege and philanthropy and “worthy causes” is one whose dramatic twists and soapy…

Review of Doctor Sleep (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 04 Nov 2019

Review of The Goldfinch (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 03 Oct 2019

Review of Ready or Not (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 03 Oct 2019

There is an elegance to the premise – an otherwise straightforward cat-and-mouse chase around a gothic mansion – and a satisfying clip…

Review of Hotel Mumbai (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 03 Oct 2019

There is something queasy about mining such fresh real-life trauma for popcorn entertainment…

Review of Downton Abbey (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 26 Sep 2019

It’s lighthearted stuff and mostly benign too, save its unashamedly effusive stance on the monarchy…

Review of Honeyland (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 26 Sep 2019

No-nonsense beekeper Hatidze Muratova’s face is as weathered and craggy as the cliff face we see her scaling at the start of this gripping,…

Review of Hustlers (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 14 Sep 2019

Perhaps too reliant on the structure of the original article, which tells the events in flashback, the film wraps up a little hastily…

Review of Angel Has Fallen (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 25 Aug 2019

Butler is convincingly sturdy as Banning, but the film’s politics are shaky…

Review of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 25 Aug 2019

The film’s teen protagonists, meanwhile, are chaste children’s book heroes, but the horror, based on illustrator Stephen Gammell’s drawings,…

Review of Crawl (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 25 Aug 2019

The scenes of family bonding are tiresome but the action is mostly tense and cheerfully bloody…

Review of Good Boys (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 19 Aug 2019

It’s not unfunny, but one joke can’t sustain the entire movie…

Review of J.T. LeRoy (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 19 Aug 2019

Dern brings a hungry, manic energy to Albert, a sad and troubled woman who used LeRoy as a vehicle to process her own childhood trauma, while…

Review of Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 17 Aug 2019

The result is goofily charming and a rare, age-appropriate children’s film in which the adults are silly and the kids, especially the girls,…

Review of Blinded by the Light (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 11 Aug 2019

It is gleefully dorky, hopelessly earnest, sincere, quite possibly to a fault…

Review of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 04 Aug 2019

Sometimes there is pleasure to be found in brainless action, but the extended video game-style finale left me furious and fatigued…

Review of Photograph (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 04 Aug 2019

This bland, sombre love story from the director of The Lunchbox (2013) lacks that film’s flavour…

Review of The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 04 Aug 2019

Cameos from Awkwafina, Nicki Minaj and Pete Davidson, and a subplot involving a trio of adorable hatchlings, are amusing diversions, but Jones’s…

Review of Gwen (2018)

By Simran Hans (401) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 26 Jul 2019
