Review of Robin Hood (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 26 Nov 2018

It's hard to blame actors for a film so lazily and sloppily assembled…

Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 14 Nov 2018

Unfortunately, we see lots and lots of Grindelwald. Has Johnny Depp forgotten how to act…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Nov 2018

Jeanette is a wonderfully puzzling creation: at times you applaud her spirit and liveliness, at others you wish she'd remember to protect her…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 02 Nov 2018

In fact nothing much about Widows is credible, a fact that jars somewhat with its sententious mood. But it's so well made, that almost doesn't matter…

Review of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 02 Nov 2018

The design of this film, from costumes to fantastical sets and giant tin soldiers, is splendid, and makes it watchable…

Review of Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 29 Oct 2018

Malek handles a pair of dentures and Freddie's oddly plummy speaking voice with aplomb, and captures the cheeky, charming, outrageous persona…

Review of Halloween (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 18 Oct 2018

Were it not for these repeated nods back to the classic, Halloween 2018 would be as boilerplate as they come. Still, it should keep fans happy…

Review of A Star Is Born (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 04 Oct 2018

Gaga is so good in A Star Is Born and on so many levels that she single-handedly justifies its existence…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Ed Power (38) for Irish Independent (461) on 02 Oct 2018

With its head-munching and several gross-out scenes of Hardy trying to sate Venom's bottomless hunger, the movie is in a hurry to prove its edginess…

Review of The Wife (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 30 Sep 2018

[Close's] role is a juicy one, but she capitalises on it brilliantly, and while Bjorn Runge's film feels a little theatrical at times, the…

Review of Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 16 Sep 2018

A comedy with brains and glamour, Crazy Rich Asians arrives in cinemas long after most of us had given up hope of ever seeing a really great…

Review of Black '47 (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 06 Sep 2018

Black 47 succeeds magnificently in evoking the misery of the Famine while simultaneously treating us to a rattling adventure yarn…

Review of The Nun (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 06 Sep 2018

Nuns levitate, Latin devotions are furiously muttered, but only a phial of the Christ's blood will end the nonsense. I wish they'd used it earlier…

Review of The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 06 Sep 2018

It's a very fine film, and thoroughly debunks a barbaric practice…

Review of American Animals (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 06 Sep 2018

Their exploits are intercut with the reflections of the real protagonists, and surprisingly, this odd mix of documentary and drama works…

Review of Citizen Lane (2018)

By Darragh Mcmanus (1) for Irish Independent (461) on 05 Sep 2018

There's more than enough interesting information and inherent drama to make Lane's life worthy of a documentary…

Review of Alpha (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 23 Aug 2018

Alpha is splendidly photographed, nicely paced, and allows us to imagine what it must have been like to live short, brutal, vivid lives surrounded…

Review of The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 23 Aug 2018

While no masterpiece, its gender politics are robust, and it's very funny in parts thanks to the wonderful Kate McKinnon, who has a rare gift…

Review of The Children Act (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 23 Aug 2018

Ian McEwan's screenplay explores the emotional toll of making decisions about other people's lives, but Richard Eyre's film is staid, structurally…

Review of Luis and the Aliens (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 23 Aug 2018

It's passably animated but clumsily written, and not especially original…
