Search: Starring David Thewlis

If Emmerich doesn't quite hit all his targets dead-on, he should at least be commended for trying to take his career and chosen genre down a less obvious route while remaining crowd-pleasing.

His - and Johnson's - real triumph in Anomalisa comes in the smaller gestures and human moments

Catherine Tramell is a great character and Stone pulls it off perfectly.

The film’s 12A certificate is prohibitive for younger children – though with parental guidance kids as young as 10 might well get something from it – and yet the manner... is simply too simplistic for an older audience.

There's a volatility and a sweetness at play in what is, at heart, a character study and writer/director Craig Roberts strikes an impressive balance of mood.

Perhaps not as good as the sum of it’s parts, McGuigan’s second effort is visually impressive, a great comeback for McDowell and a launching pad for Bettany.

Deserving of the hype.

The Order Of The Phoenix is the best in the series.

It's such a pleasure to see a real children's film by a real filmmaker.

The battle for Jerusalem is full of jaw-dropping, breathless action.

The fast pacing allied to some dark humour and a few absurd moments certainly makes for entertaining viewing, even though over time you keep waiting for the film to hit some deeper note.

Epic, sprawling and inspirational.

Little hints that something disturbing is happening build up well, though the film never really grips the way it should.

Anchoring the audience with a perennial fence-sitter allows more room for the inevitable impact of the characters' stories, without the weight of an absolute ideological argument.

The reason this franchise succeeds is that it never takes itself too seriously.

Amenabar would need to regress his audience back to the early Eighties for this to have any sort of suspense.

The pitting of Kingsley against Caine in this context is delightful.

Proof that when you combine a great premise and a talented director, you don't necessarily strike gold.

A sometimes compelling, often baffling work that doesn’t really solve the inherent problem of its subject matter, but swings for the fences trying.

A good yarn well paced and well made.

The dismal decline in the quality of British films continues apace.

Sometimes a film is more, much more, than the sum of its parts.
