Review of Monsters: Dark Continent (2014)

Review of World 1-1 (2015)

Review of Theeb (2014)

By Chris Fyvie (70) for The Skinny (809) on 18 Feb 2015

Review of It Follows (2015)

Review of Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014)

By Philip Concannon (108) for The Skinny (809) on 17 Feb 2015

Too shallow and incurious to succeed as a character study, the film drifts aimlessly in a manner that frustrates and finally alienates…

Review of The Duke of Burgundy (2015)

By John Nugent (191) for The Skinny (809) on 17 Feb 2015

Peter Strickland follows up his chilly giallo-horror Berberian Sound Studio with something altogether warmer and sweeter - though no less strange…

Review of Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

By Chris Fyvie (70) for The Skinny (809) on 13 Feb 2015

A cynical, perfunctorily directed, guileless, sexless and artless re-tread of the novel - the worst kind of fan, and potential franchise, service…

Review of Love Is Strange (2014)

By Josh Slater-Williams (157) for The Skinny (809) on 06 Feb 2015

Lithgow, Molina and Tomei deliver some of their finest ever work in this quietly moving look into the finite nature of so much of life, not just love…

Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014)

Review of Selma (2014)

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Scott Mckellar (4) for The Skinny (809) on 30 Jan 2015

After the shock tactics of Shivers, Cronenberg's next venture into body horror is more subdued, but holds up surprisingly well…

An invigorating, frequently hilarious piece of pop cinema that has a palpable heartbeat even amid its more archetypal beats…

Review of Two for the Road (1967)

By Josh Slater-Williams (157) for The Skinny (809) on 28 Jan 2015

Hepburn, shedding her established persona with glee, is particularly great, while Frederic Raphael's acerbic screenplay has touches of material…

Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

By Josh Slater-Williams (157) for The Skinny (809) on 28 Jan 2015

Review of A Most Violent Year (2014)

By Chris Fyvie (70) for The Skinny (809) on 23 Jan 2015
