Review of The Happy Prince (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 21 Jun 2018

The Happy Prince is surprisingly uncinematic, and even the light and colour of southern Italy are not capitalised on by Everett's direction…

Review of Ocean's Eight (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 17 Jun 2018

It is, though, perfectly enjoyable, and seems to suggest that women are much better team players than men, less likely to become distracted…

Review of Hereditary (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 17 Jun 2018

[Ari Aster] is too clever for his own good, and late on discards his duty to his story and characters in favour of shocks and effects that…

Review of Studio 54 (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 17 Jun 2018

Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Jun 2018

Review of McQueen (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Jun 2018

Review of All the Wild Horses (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Jun 2018

Collisions, broken limbs, punctured lungs, mortally wounded horses - it's all part of the fun, and there's always the chance that your nag…

Review of My Friend Dahmer (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 31 May 2018

The restraint with which Meyers handles his story deepens it, adding melancholy layers to Jeffrey's morbid dysfunction…

Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 28 May 2018

Ron Howard has ensured that Solo is no embarrassment to the franchise, but the chases and hair's breadth escapes become a little tiresome in…

Review of Citizen Lane (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 20 May 2018

O'Sullivan's film provides a real insight into Hugh Lane's life and legacy, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor's performance catches a fascinating, warm,…

Review of Deadpool 2 (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 20 May 2018

The writing's funnier this time and Reynold's exhaustingly energetic performance holds the show together, while leaving little room for anyone…

Review of Filmworker (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 20 May 2018

Review of 7 Days in Entebbe (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 13 May 2018

Review of Life of the Party (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 13 May 2018

Perhaps Life of the Party shouldn't work but, overall, it does thanks to McCarthy's superb comic instincts, a mainly decent script and a strong…

Review of How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 13 May 2018

A dreamy young extraterrestrial (Elle Fanning) languidly greets him, and asks how do I further access the punk?. What happens next is not edifying…

Review of Breaking In (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 13 May 2018

Breaking In feels a bit like one of those straight-to-video 80s B-thrillers you'd find at the bottom of a bargain bin on a rainy Monday night…
