Review of Happy End (2017)

By Jordan Cronk (30) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Review of Divines (2016)

By Aurelie Godet (2) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Review of The Square (2017)

Review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

By Jordan Cronk (30) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Review of Mississippi Grind (2015)

By Aurelie Godet (2) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Mississippi Grind not only refuses to indulge in the easy pleasures of dramatic momentum, but it pushes its luck by meandering towards a bizarrely…

Review of Foreign Body (2016)

By Josh Cabrita (87) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Review of Letters to Max (2014)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Review of A Death in the Gunj (2016)

By Alysia Urrutia (5) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

A Death in the Gunj is a fine character study underpinned by a thorough understanding of group dynamics, and as such manages to be both specifically…

Review of Mekko (2015)

By Jordan Cronk (30) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

An agreeable if unremarkable work of indigenous realism whose familiarity of form is ably offset by the singularity of its milieu…

Review of The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

By Josh Cabrita (87) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Review of The Limehouse Golem (2016)

By Josh Cabrita (87) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017

Review of Fire at Sea (2016)

By Alysia Urrutia (5) for Cinema Scope (405) on 10 Nov 2017
