  • Black Swan (2010)
    Review preview for Black Swan

    As elegant and overblown as ballet itself.

    James Benefield · 5 out of 5
    A psychological thriller set in the world of the New York City ballet.
  • Falling Down (1993)
    Review preview for Falling Down

    This is low-key, nervous, twisted stuff, hinting at anger so deeply ingrained it can only erupt in tight, controlled spurts of rage.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5
    One hot day in LA a white collar worker goes berserk in the ravaged ruins of South Central.
  • Hannah And Her Sisters (1986)
    Review preview for Hannah And Her Sisters

    Elegantly constructed and shot with the same apparent carelessness which turns out to be something much cleverer, Hannah And Her Sisters is a film which will take you by surprise.

    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5

    What really lifts this, beyond its smart scripting and clever shifts of mood, is its remarkable beauty.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    An ordinary family begin to panic when strange things start happening in their new home.
  • Insidious Chapter 2 (2013)
    Review preview for Insidious Chapter 2

    Dropping the demonic angle in favour of a more clichéd serial killer back-story proves a major mistake – it scuppers all ambiguity and feels like a step back from the bedlam of the original.

    David Graham · 2.5 out of 5
    A haunted family seek to discover the secret of why they are so vulnerable to malicious spirits.
  • Lantana (2001)
    Review preview for Lantana

    Production values and performances are exemplary, with only a nagging tendency to resort to flashbacks.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    A dark and cynical piece about trust and death featuring dysfunctional marriages, a missing person, a bad cop and some sad women in a smart Aussie suburb.
  • Love Comes Lately (2007)
    Review preview for Love Comes Lately

    This tale of elderly amour, centering on a Jewish New York author, is sweet enough.

    Tony Sullivan · 2 out of 5
    An old man dreams of sex.
  • Nine Bullets (2022)
    Review preview for Nine Bullets

    Nine Bullets is not just an action film, which it is…but a film in which characters develop, learn and learn to get along.

    A burlesque dancer must go on the run to save a neighbour boy whose life is threatened by her ex-lover.
  • A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries (1997)
    Review preview for A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries

    As a rites-of-passage, it suffers too wide a time frame.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5
    Rites-of-passage drama about a writer's daughter.
  • Strange Darling (2023)
    Review preview for Strange Darling

    A gorgeous piece of work.

    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5
