Reviews / Film & TV
Now You See Me 2
"Fans are rewarded in a sequel that delivers — with deeper characters, motivations, relationships and a pinch of social commentary."
Reviews / Film & TV
Backtrack
"While competently made, with nice camerawork and an atmospheric tone, it is ultimately very cliched and extremely predictable."
Reviews / Film & TV
Hunt For The Wilderpeople
"This is a truly adorable film about friendship, family and the spirit of adventure that masterfully walks the line between the ridiculous and gritty reality."
Reviews / Film & TV
Alice Through The Looking Glass
"Amazingly, practically the entire original cast returns (including a brief, final role for Alan Rickman)."
Reviews / Film & TV
Time Out Of Mind
"The lack of non-diegetic sounds adds to the reality, while Bobby Bukowski's superb cinematography creates a sense of displacement."
Reviews / Film & TV
Mr Right
"Mr Right may be recycled and forgettable, but it's a fun ride."
Reviews / Film & TV
Bastille Day
"With the help of some magnetic leads, Bastille Day is better than most recent action trash."
Reviews / Film & TV
Bad Neighbours 2
"Efron extends his character's half-life with some relatable post-education crises in between removing his shirt."
Reviews / Film & TV
The Man Who Knew Infinity
"Patel brings quiet human dignity while Irons produces dramatic layers effortlessly, conveying stern academia and hidden vulnerability."
Reviews / Film & TV
Florence Foster Jenkins
"It excels in creating a sense of admiration for the woman's ambition and heart."
Reviews / Film & TV
Victor Frankenstein
"...a film that, while entertaining, feels flat and bogged down by a frenetic pace.'
