Search: Starring Gwyneth Paltrow

Enjoyable and witty, all the more impressive when you discover that it took only 19 days to shoot.

Apart from the sheer dullness of these two, the script by director Don Roos doesn't go anywhere. It starts at A, hiccups on B and ends at C.

After a compelling start and a long, immersive second act, sadly Contagion starts to peter out towards the end.

The plot swithers this way and that.

The Glee spell is starting to break and when a thing like this turns sour, it's very sour indeed.

Flawed, but with enough interest to suggest Jake Paltrow may be one to keep an eye out for in future.

As a director, he captures the seedy glamour of the gambling world perfectly and as a writer he propels a taut, no-frills story along with a screenplay that’s literate and believable.

Big, dumb, explosive and, most importantly, fun.

Anyone who enjoyed the first Iron Man will love this, but if they expected something better then they will be disappointed.

Things do explode. Lots of things. The difference between this and the previous outing is that we care why they're exploding and about the people who are standing next to them when they do.

There is the air of a dysfunctional family agreeing to get together for Auntie Sheila’s wedding.

Everything is true, especially the parts that aren't. This is the magic of movies.

Douglas knows the territory well... he has perfected the iced stare to such a degree you worry in case the wind changes.

Aficionados of the whodunit won't be disappointed.

Offers a convincing demonstration of the theorem that good writing and sensitive performances can equal an engaging and nuanced piece of cinema.

Stiller, Paltrow, Murray and Luke Wilson needn't have bothered. Their characters are stuck in ruts.

The movie is peopled by characters without boundaries and the cast responds by turning in some of the most extravagant performances this side of I, Claudius.

The fat-is-gross non-PC running gag trips up after half an hour.

The consistent inventiveness of the visuals is matched by the white-knuckle excitement of the plot.

Se7en is filthier than a dead stray dog at the bottom of a New Jersey toxic waste dump.

e concept is inspired and the realisation, with its complexities and double takes and juxtapositions, never feels forced.

The balance between the individual and the bigger picture is perhaps the greatest strength of Homecoming.

Gwyneth Paltrow gives a brave, uncompromised performance that does not shrink from the self-possessed obsessions of a selfish mind.

Matt Damon's performance is deliciously low-key.

Joaquin Phoenix is utterly convincing in this role, conveying the longing and confusion with glimpses of the happier guy he could be.
