Search: Starring Denis O'Hare

Allure is a film full of claustrophobic tension.

The runt of a bountiful litter.

Straczynski's script is a masterpiece of understatement and restraint, and Angelina Jolie is riveting in the central role.

Despite Alvarez's good work with his actors, the oil of Sedaris's satirical characters and water of Alvarez's indie sensibilities refuse to mix.

McConaughey's performance is a tour de force.

When satire bites it draws blood. This one leaks fizzy water that’s gone flat.

Owen can do this kind of thing standing on his head, while balancing a cage of turtledoves.

Needed a more crackling central relationship to keep it interesting.

Macdonald proceeds to let his narrative grind to a halt from which it never recovers.

This is a talky affair designed to move away from the original BBC six-parter's cold-war paranoia in favour of a Michael Clayton-style corporate cover up.

Portman captures something so rare that it defies description.

The film covers all the bases and yet fails to hit a home run

Memo to filmmakers: If you’re looking for a failsafe plan to make a delightful film, try showcasing the breadth of Emma Thompson’s talents.

This is a grim, austere story of the pressure cooker of frustration, rage and fear that results when the patriarchy squeezes just as tight as the corsets of the time.

Swinton’s magnificent juggling of callousness and vulnerability is the single best female performance I’ve seen all year.

In one of the finest performances of his career, Sean Penn is understated to convey finer feeling, yet passionate on the soap box to an inspirational degree.

The acting is precise in its natural flow

Follows a standard rom-com formula and there won’t be anything you haven’t seen a hundred times before.

For a film entirely dependent on cliché, The Pyramid does a passable job of building up a sense of dread and making us root for characters who, by genre standards, make a succession of very foolish decisions.

It unfolds in a way that defies expectations, finding hope and humanity in unexpected places.

Part mystery, part psychological drama, and, towards the end, a harrowing thriller of unexpected intensity.

A frequently impressive but occasionally problematic experience.
