Review of Peter Rabbit (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 19 Mar 2018

[The rabbits are] hard to love (though kids may be amused by them), and this film would be pretty much unwatchable were it not for a delightful…

Review of Damo & Ivor: The Movie (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 19 Mar 2018

There's no point in pretending any of this is funny…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 19 Mar 2018

I liked the matter-of-fact way [Garth] Davis tells this extremely familiar story: we're given a real sense of what his followers sacrificed…

Review of Tomb Raider (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 19 Mar 2018

It's strangely stiff and wooden from the get-go, and heavy-handed writing stops it taking off…

Review of The Square (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 19 Mar 2018

The Square is long but that's not a criticism because it's never dull and manages to pack in some spectacularly unlikely set pieces…

Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 11 Mar 2018

What's interesting about this film is not so much its story as the clammy, visceral way Ramsay tells it…

Review of The Lodgers (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 11 Mar 2018

As is so often the case with horrors, The Lodgers comes unstuck a little late on, but it's a handsome film, full of good ideas…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 11 Mar 2018

The film's look evokes the 50s flashbacks in Annie Hall, but it's joyless, clumsy stuff, pastiche Clifford Odets…

Review of Logan (2017)

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

One has taken Jackman for granted in this role, but there's something grandly Shakespearean too about the Wolverine's rage against the dying…

Review of Game Night (2018)

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

Studio comedies have been so bad for so long that when a halfway decent one comes along, we critics tend to get overexcited…

Review of Red Sparrow (2018)

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

Francis Lawrence's film is hammy and grandiose, and has delusions of geopolitical relevance, but is considerably less awful than I thought…

Review of A Fantastic Woman (2017)

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

Emotional, poetic, intensely moving, A Fantastic Woman is beautifully directed and photographed, has Hitchcockian undertones and finds memorable…

Review of I, Tonya (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 25 Feb 2018

Robbie is superb as Harding, a raw, determined young woman whose chippiness makes her hard to like…

Review of The Shape of Water (2017)

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

A film about films, and a lush Cold War melodrama involving an interspecies romance that should be creepy but isn't, Guillermo del Toro's Shape…

Review of Black Panther (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 11 Feb 2018

Black Panther is worthy, no question, but it's also a little dull…

Review of The 15:17 to Paris (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 11 Feb 2018

After an hour or so of aimless waffle, the incident itself is thrown away in 10 minutes, accompanied by a predictable dose of jingoism…

Review of Black Panther (2018)

By Ed Power (38) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Feb 2018

Black Panther spirals into a stodgy tale of internecine feuding, in which T'Challa is required to come to terms with the sins of past generations…

Review of Phantom Thread (2017)

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