    A dysfunctional family comes together to deal with a crisis.
  • About Schmidt (2002)
    Review preview for About Schmidt

    About Schmidt is about wasted lives. These people are dull, sad or whingesomely vulgar. You laugh at them, rather than with them, and feel guilty doing so.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5

  • Gone In The Night (2022)
    Review preview for Gone In The Night

    The odd structure doesn’t always serve the film well, but Ryder is impressive, disappearing into her character in a way she has rarely managed to do elsewhere.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5

  • The Grey (2012)
    Review preview for The Grey

    The Grey is essentially a Boy's Own film for adults, but its air of genuine menace transcends the sort of schtick that often sinks the genre

    David Graham · 3.5 out of 5
    Following a plane crash in the remote Arctic, the survivors must face off against a pack of wolves.
  • Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)
    Review preview for Insidious: Chapter 3

    With these rich characters and this level of awareness, the stage is set for what ought to be a great film, but sadly Insidious: Chapter 3 amounts to less than the sum of its parts.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5
    In a prequel to the first two Insidious films, medium Elise helps a teenager who is desperate to contact her deceased mother.

  • Must Love Dogs (2005)
    Review preview for Must Love Dogs

    Its predictability acts like comfort food and the complete absence of surprise feels satisfying, like a Wendy's double burger with cheese.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2.5 out of 5
    Middle-something divorced animal lovers dabble with internet dating.
  • The Rambler (2013)
    Review preview for The Rambler

    Its intended jokes are mostly unfunny but as it develops, The Rambler contains enough hallucinatory imagery, lifted straight from low-budget sci-fi horror, to boil over with a certain nightmarish feel.

    Michael Pattison · 2.5 out of 5
    An ex-con's impulsive cross country journey leads to the unravelling of strange mysteries.
  • Stoker (2013)
    Review preview for Stoker

    The heightened sense of India's reality is mimicked by Park's style and Miller's creations, who are pushed into the realm of melodrama and perilously close to caricature in pursuit of gothic thrills.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2.5 out of 5
    A bereaved girl's charismatic uncle spells trouble when he comes to stay.
  • Struck By Lightning (2012)
    Review preview for Struck By Lightning

    Some of the dialogue could be more polished, but the brutal honesty... makes up for it.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 3 out of 5
    Even being killed by a bolt of lightning won’t keep Carson Phillips quiet.
  • Undertow (2004)
    Review preview for Undertow

    Emphasising texture over tension, Undertow plays like a mud-splattered Hansel and Gretel.

    The Exile · 4 out of 5
    Atmospheric thriller from the Deep South resurrects shades of darker, deadlier incarnations.
  • The Wedding Date (2005)
    Review preview for The Wedding Date

    The concept is fruitcake flimsy, decorated with sweet nothings and garlanded with small talk that would make Bridget Jones cringe.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2.5 out of 5
    A girl hires an escort to pose as her boyfriend at her sister's wedding in an attempt to irritate her ex.
