Review of The Feast (2021)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 25 Aug 2022

The Feast requires a degree of commitment; it avoids jump scares in favour of a long, slow build of tension – so slow that at times the characters…

Review of Fisherman's Friends: One and All (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 22 Aug 2022

It all feels rather cursory, subplots as glue to tack together the Cornish tourist board-approved shots of cornflower-blue waters and cloudless skies…

Review of Orphan: First Kill (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 22 Aug 2022

The force of Fuhrman’s performance – as she demonstrated in last year’s The Novice, she can be a remarkable and unsettling presence in…

Review of My Old School (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 22 Aug 2022

It’s a fascinating story that starts as an affable, strange-but-true tall tale but ends in a decidedly minor key…

Review of Prey (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 07 Aug 2022

It’s a prequel to the Predator series that stays true to the essence of the original – stylishly violent, stickily graphic, impossibly…

Review of Bullet Train (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 07 Aug 2022

There are films that are so thunderously stupid they bypass guilty-pleasure status and end up as a danger to themselves and all around them…

Review of Fire of Love (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 01 Aug 2022

The film’s approach skirts around the actual science of the Kraffts’ work, but it does explore the psychology of a shared passion, of a…

Review of Joyride (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 01 Aug 2022

This odd-couple comedy road movie paints its characters in brushstrokes so broad you could land a jumbo jet on them, while the intrusively…

Review of DC League of Super-Pets (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 01 Aug 2022

It’s formulaic, uninspired stuff, an artless, mirthless mess that leans heavily on the familiarity of the characters – Batman, Wonder Woman…

Review of Thirteen Lives (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 01 Aug 2022

Despite the fact that we all know the outcome, and that it’s the third film in as many years to tell the story, Ron Howard’s account of…

Review of The Deer King (2021)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 01 Aug 2022

The clear lines of the elegant 2D animation are not matched by the mythic muddle of the storytelling, an exposition-heavy slog of warring factions,…

Review of All Light, Everywhere (2021)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 26 Jul 2022

It springs restlessly between ideas and, while it doesn’t quite cohere into a neat central thesis, the film did leave me with both the means…

Review of George Michael: Freedom Uncut (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 26 Jul 2022

Michael talks about himself with candour, and the archive footage is extensive…

Review of Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 26 Jul 2022

Like the backdrop – marsh or swamp – it’s all a bit soggy…

Review of Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time (2021)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 26 Jul 2022

It’s this aspect – the real warmth, the way the camera becomes almost incidental in the encounters between documentarian and subject –…

Review of The Railway Children Return (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 25 Jul 2022

It’s all perfectly inoffensive kids’ entertainment, but aside from the well-meaning but slightly jarring BLM messaging, it’s ploddingly…

Review of The Gray Man (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 19 Jul 2022

For all the sensory overload – it’s a bit like being trapped inside a first-person shooter challenge being played by a 12-year-old gaming…

Review of McEnroe (2022)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 19 Jul 2022

Barney Douglas’s doc about tennis maverick John McEnroe belongs to that rare handful of portraits that should find an audience far beyond…
