Review of All Is Lost (2013)

Review of Behind the Candelabra (2013)

By Simon Gallagher (50) for What Culture (594) on 20 May 2013

Michael Douglas plays Liberace to perfection, wrestling away from early suspicions that his performance is a fur coat and no knickers caricature,…

Review of Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

By Simon Gallagher (50) for What Culture (594) on 19 May 2013

Review of For Those in Peril (2013)

By Simon Gallagher (50) for What Culture (594) on 18 May 2013

Review of Jimmy P. (2013)

It's not quite The Hills, as there's very much the sense that these characters, or versions of them, do actually exist, and Minervi is clearly…

Review of The Bling Ring (2013)

By Simon Gallagher (50) for What Culture (594) on 15 May 2013

Coppola's latest never seems to know what it wants to be - it works best when it is a blackly comical parody but it too often pulls its punches…

Review of Fruitvale Station (2013)

By Simon Gallagher (50) for What Culture (594) on 15 May 2013

Michael Jordan's Grant is remarkably sympathetic, and his story develops in a way that adds an awful note to the opening scene, as the arc…

Review of The Great Gatsby (2013)

By Simon Gallagher (50) for What Culture (594) on 14 May 2013

It's glitzy and glamorous yes, and Luhrmann fans will be delighted with its staging, including the occasionally over-zealous music, but there…

Review of Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 04 May 2013

Review of 21 & Over (2013)

Review of A.C.O.D. (2013)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 30 Apr 2013

Disappointingly opts for broad humour over genuine drama in its second half, but anyone who has been through a similar situation will find…

Review of Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 30 Apr 2013

A riotous breakthrough for Mike Birbiglia, whose humanist comedy says a lot about modern relationships that many of us won't be prepared to admit…

Review of The Truth About Emanuel (2013)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 29 Apr 2013

Review of I'm So Excited! (2013)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 28 Apr 2013

It ultimately amounts to little more than a 90-minute-long gay joke that loses its charm after just a few…

Review of In a World... (2013)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 24 Apr 2013

Serves as an uproarious coming out party for writer-director-lead Lake Bell, and you'll never watch a movie trailer the same way again…

Review of The Look of Love (2013)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 24 Apr 2013

Steve Coogan delivers a knock-out performance that renders the central figure in all of his complexity - at once admirable, deplorable and pitiable…

Review of Running from Crazy (2013)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 23 Apr 2013
