Review of The Shape of Water (2017)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Black Panther (2018)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Personal Shopper (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (1983)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Ae Fond Kiss... (2004)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of I, Daniel Blake (2016)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

One can sympathise with Loach's political sensibilities, but this film's shallowness, twee sensibility and transparent polemics make for an…

Review of The Big Short (2015)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Probably the biggest mistake McKay makes is in trying too hard to play into the material: he mistakes shaky camera moves and quick cuts for…

Review of Zama (2017)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Isle of Dogs (2018)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Margot at the Wedding (2007)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Margot at the Wedding is a little too literary and its overall air of wry cartoonish dysfunctionality becomes wearing and is conceitedly telegraphed…

Review of Dark River (2017)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018

Barnard's main problem is that she makes everything so earnestly subservient to the shallow, singular conceit of her narrative…

Review of Annihilation (2018)

Review of A Ghost Story (2017)

Review of Suspicion (1941)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 31 Oct 2018
