Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

By Chris Fyvie (70) for The Skinny (809) on 20 Feb 2015

Dutch angles, dual-focus, dream sequences and at least one belting tracking shot invoke B-movie masters in a film that's way more stylish and…

Review of White Bird in a Blizzard (2014)

By Josh Slater-Williams (157) for The Skinny (809) on 18 Feb 2015

What's behind the surface of Araki's film is just more surface... little of its psychological explorations hold great weight…

Review of Monsters: Dark Continent (2014)

By Josh Slater-Williams (157) for The Skinny (809) on 18 Feb 2015

This is just every generic Middle East war movie of the last decade, with occasional monster asides and unearned stabs at PTSD pathos…

Review of World 1-1 (2015)

By Darren Carle (2) for The Skinny (809) on 18 Feb 2015

As a document of an era that has become as influential in popular culture as any movie or music genesis, this is a tale that deserves to be told…

Review of Theeb (2014)

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

Theeb is a self-contained coming-of-age adventure at its core. A tense and really quite beautiful one to boot…

Review of It Follows (2015)

By Ian Mantgani (20) for The Skinny (809) on 18 Feb 2015

A bold, terrifying attack of cinema, immersive on the levels of imagery both beautiful and grotesque, and scares from the shallowest to the…

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)

By Lewis Porteous (27) for The Skinny (809) on 06 Feb 2015

Review of Selma (2014)

By John Nugent (191) for The Skinny (809) on 02 Feb 2015

This is a film as confident and assured in its moral fortitude, and as soaringly powerful in its oratory, as the great man himself…

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…

Review of Big Hero 6 (2014)

By Josh Slater-Williams (157) for The Skinny (809) on 29 Jan 2015

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

An ugly film dressed up in a cheap suit, the flaccid Kingsman is less biting, transgressive Bond tribute, and more akin to a gorier, swearier…

Review of A Most Violent Year (2014)

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

It's very much a mood piece, body-swerving genre clichés, beautiful to look at and dripping menace via Bradford Young's sepia-tinged cinematography…

Review of Ex Machina (2015)

By Chris Fyvie (70) for The Skinny (809) on 21 Jan 2015

There's no little hint of Kubrick and Hitchcockian paranoia to Alex Garland's debut as writer-director, a nifty, quasi-Gothic three-hander…
