Search: Starring Anna Paquin

No filmmaker since Woody Allen has loved New York like this, but Lee is prepared to show it in all its stark ugliness.

Captures the seriousness and the sweetness perfectly

Amistad is one of [Spielberg's] deeply felt niche pictures that won't cause ripples on the stock market because of its uncompromising nature.

At turns funny, violent, bitter and over the top, it's a curious little fable about boredom, risk-taking, and the frustration experienced by trained fighters in peacetime.

Hiding beneath the mask of radical chic lies a deeply sentimental story.

Child childs will love it

As a piece of writing, it has a sharp, smart gloss, without soul or feeling.

Scorsese shoots at what is truly important in life and does so, miraculously, by putting the spotlight on organised crime

The film is a visual treat, boasting a well-realised steampunk aesthetic and inventive visual flourishes.

Divorced by many years from the context of its original conception, the film might easily be viewed as just another rites-of-passage indie – albeit an unusually multi-faceted one.

What makes this film so enjoyable is the chemistry that holds its ensemble together.

A lot of the scenes seem stilted, or rushed, and there are very few memorable lines.
