Review of I, Daniel Blake (2016)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

Newcastle-born stand-up comedian Dave Johns plays this largely non-comedic part with understated warmth…

Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

Kermit [the Frog] embodies the strange magic of puppetry…

Review of Suffragette (2015)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

The bravery and the radicalism was real. I wish, though, that the film itself was a little braver, a little more visceral…

Review of O.J.: Made in America (2016)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

It will stand alongside the similarly epic Hoop Dreams as a documentary that, with sport as its ostensible subject, also serves as an examination…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

Spectre is an elaborate justification for the relevance of the gun-toting, martini-drinking spy in a post-Snowden world…

Review of Two Days, One Night (2014)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

What the film and its characters convey to us, cumulatively, is a struggle for and towards dignity…

Review of Pride (2014)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

The film hits some obvious notes, and some sentimental ones, but it also surprises…

Review of Boyhood (2014)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

Boyhood never allows itself to be trivial - we never see anyone buying groceries, or picking their nose, or spending their days tied to a job…

Review of What Happened, Miss Simone? (2015)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

Though it is doubtful that [Nina] Simone, were she still alive, would be much impressed with [Kanye] West's music - she once said that she…

Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

[Wes Anderson's] nostalgia, like his set design, is so contrived that I don't believe he really believes in it as anything other than a visual…

Review of Dior and I (2015)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

It celebrates Simons' vision, but, more interestingly, also reveals to viewers the busy, hierarchical world of the atelier, where dozens of…

Review of The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years (2016)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

The achievement of [Ron] Howard's documentary is to make the familiar feel new again, placing the viewer inside that moment - even if you never…

Review of Sing Street (2016)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

Scenes transparently designed to sweep an audience away with the power of music falter, because the songs are weak…

Review of Gone Girl (2014)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

Gone Girl fails as a crime thriller in part because it is far too long - none of Fincher's major feature films have clocked in at less than…

Review of While We're Young (2015)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

It's a worthwhile field of enquiry, made into a strangely self-satisfied film…

Review of Bill Cunningham New York (2011)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

New Yorkers love nothing more than a story about themselves…

Review of Certain Women (2016)

By Anwen Crawford (47) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 11 Sep 2017

[Kelly] Reichardt's characters are not taken from comic books; they are not easy heroes or outsize villains…

Review of Personal Shopper (2016)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 29 May 2017

[Personal Shopper] displays a conversely intuitive, almost millennial understanding of the changing European landscape and the New World citizens…

Review of Berlin Syndrome (2017)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for The Monthly (Australia) (39) on 29 May 2017

The film is at its most convincing when evoking the horrifying ordeal of domestic entrapment and it gives its protaganist at least some surface…
