Review of Okja (2017)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of Shaun of the Dead (2004)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

The nadir of this film's cynical, marketed traipse through the iconography of its franchise is in the preposterously pantomime mythologisation…

Review of Jackie (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

The film crystallises Jackie's dignity and pathos, and, also crucially, the sheer brutality of a way of life being completely wrenched from…

Review of Batman Begins (2005)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of Sing Street (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

The film's blithe attitude to its Indian characters and canvas, plus the largely bogus journeys it forces on its key personnel, give new meaning…

Review of The Damned United (2009)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

The Damned United is a populist - at times, almost cartoonish - attempt to make comprehensible the story behind Brian Clough's ill-fated 44-day…

Review of The Full Monty (1997)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of Whisky Galore! (1949)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

There's plenty of slapstick in Whisky Galore, but even more appealing is the exquisite current of social satire coursing through the film's narrative…

Review of The Squid and the Whale (2005)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of A Very Murray Christmas (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of David Brent: Life on the Road (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 03 Nov 2018
