Review of Mandy (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 13 Sep 2018

Review of The Land of Steady Habits (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 13 Sep 2018

Review of The Children Act (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 11 Sep 2018

Review of White Boy Rick (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 11 Sep 2018

It's so well directed that I'm not sure just quite where the blame lies for White Boy Rick's underwhelming feeling…

Review of A Simple Favor (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 11 Sep 2018

The balance of light humour and dark nastiness is well calibrated, there are some huge laughs, and a handful of effective shocks…

Review of Halloween (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 10 Sep 2018

Review of If Beale Street Could Talk (2018)

Review of A Star Is Born (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 10 Sep 2018

A Star is Born doesn't deviate too wildly from the frequently remade storyline, but everything else about Cooper's film feels refreshed and new…

Review of Sharkwater Extinction (2018)

Review of Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 05 Sep 2018

It's the kind of film where every character is given one usable skill that will pay off at the film's conclusion, and outside of that, no one…

Review of The Nun (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 05 Sep 2018

The best spin-off from the highly successful Conjuring franchise thus far, The Nun is a knowing, lovingly crafted bit of B-movie silliness…

Review of Manto (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 05 Sep 2018

[Das] gives just enough back to the film to enhance Siddiqui's confident leading performance, but there still feels like something is missing here…

Review of Jirga (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 05 Sep 2018

Unafraid to let large portions of his brief, yet powerful film play out without much dialogue, Gilmour's film is one of the most bracingly…

Review of Trench 11 (2017)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 29 Aug 2018

It's not smart enough to work as a thoughtful historical thriller, and there's a lack of intensity that would doom most other horror films instantly…
