Search: Starring Cillian Murphy

Garland needs to get back to the drawing board and look up the term 'character development' in his notes.

There's no shying away from the fact that the New Age, twig-built mumbo-jumbo peddled here is no match from the otherworldly ancient belief systems of Peru that flow through Llosa's earlier works.

The final 20 minutes turn the screen into a video game.

Nolan has gone beyond DC Comics into a psychological no-man's land where lessons can be learned.

Breakfast On Pluto's tone is a discomforting mixture of comedy and tragedy.

Underneath the sound and fury is a subtle, poignant and often very funny take on growing up.

An outstanding achievement: a rich, dark and complex movie

One can't help but think that there's a great film in there struggling to get out.

This is not just a war film. It is an artistic triumph.

Possibly the best British film of the year.

The director resembles a sniper who remains unseen, but whose presence can nonetheless be felt.

Firth gives one of his brooding, unshaven, devilishly attractive performances, borrowed from romantic fiction.

You will no doubt need to see Inception more than once to appreciate every nuance of Nolan's carefully balanced ambiguities – but, more importantly, you will also want to.

Class and experience divisions form the bulk of the interpersonal drama and it’s as predictable as expected, with the added tedium of Hemsworth apparently defaulting back to weirdly out of place Asgardian diction, bellowing like Thor at every little thing

A shallow, stagnant film that whiffs of plagiarism.

The delivery of the script is highly polished from a large ensemble cast with CVs running off the page.

There’s plenty for thoughtful children to engage with.

God might play dice, but Nolan is a watchmaker.

The plot meanders and doesn’t stand up well to scrutiny.

A thumpingly good knuckle-biter.

Suffers from excess in almost every department.

I do not know that I could ever with a good conscience describe a film as 'perfect' but this comes close.

Overall, the film looks fantastic. The special-effects work, which took a year of post-production to complete, wouldn’t look out of place in a movie with ten times the budget.

You could talk your way round the houses and still come up with very good reasons for believing that when Loach goes political, he makes Karl Marx look benign.

The action scenes right through the film are visceral and heart-thumping.
