The Boy Next Door plays best as unintentional comedy…

Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Hail, Caesar! is smart and silly at the same time, a light and frothy love letter to '50s Hollywood which also makes fun of the place…

Review of Gods of Egypt (2016)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Considering director Proyas is responsible for such a classic as The Crow, the lack of human touch is odd -- the very respectable cast is wasted…

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Cranston is a treat in this tribute to a brilliant writer's principled stand…

Review of Woman in Gold (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

What Woman In Gold does have going for it is a strong performance from the always on point Mirren and a fascinating true story…

Review of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

There is whimsy, but also a grounded realism in the idea that life is a journey and not always a smooth one…

Review of Rudderless (2014)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

A lot of the emotional communication comes through in the music, especially when Sam cannot confront his own feelings, reminding us why we…

Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

The film is action packed but driven by the story which is about the people, and specifically family issues which we can all relate to…

Review of The Program (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Taking its cue from the novel, the film gives us lots of and then, and then, and then, but not much insight into Armstrong's mindset or why…

Review of Virunga (2014)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Creates a startling and tense glimpse into what it feels like for the regular folk of the area when the militias come rolling in and mortars…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

If it wasn't for Firth's committed performance, Allen's period piece would be all over the place…

Review of Vincent Van Gogh: A New Way of Seeing (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Review of Winter's Tale (2014)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

A total suspension of belief is required because your brain says it's not working while your heart wants to say, but I want this to work…

Review of Suffragette (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Surprisingly gentle, considering it is a film about the moment the suffragette movement in the UK turned militant, Suffragette is nevertheless…

Review of Victor Frankenstein (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

It is as if they spend so much time getting the monster looking scary that they forgot the whole point of the film was to tell a story…

Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

Review of Wolf Totem (2015)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016

While visually stunning, this Chinese French collaboration is melodramatic and narratively disjointed…

Review of St. Vincent (2014)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 02 Mar 2016
