Search: Starring Joel Kinnaman

The ingredients are here, jumbled up, too confusing to fit the restrictions of a single screenplay

I'm surprised that there wasn't a tech on set who could have told people how electricity works.

This is at once a densely interlocking slice of Scandi-crime, an intense set of character pieces, and a poly-lingual indictment of a variety of shades of greed.

Though Kinnaman works hard in the role and does convince, it's the teenage Holland who steals the show.

Malick and his cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, if nothing else, deliver stunningly beautiful vistas and backdrops for his narratives and characters, yet like the characters, there seems to be something empty at its core.

Essentially, this is Gerwig's natural charm versus her character and script's lack of it.

Ditching the satirical elements for a more straightforward sci-fi 'issues' approach, Padhila goes for a more serious minded investigation of the man-machine control conundrum.

Pain has a price

In general, the action feels either overly restrained or pushed too far, with Adler rarely finding the sweet spot in between.

The film soundtrack contributes neatly to the sense of alienation; of setting apart from the hearing world, with background track alternating conventional melody with something far more ominous.

I didn't hate it, but if I wanted to watch more than two hours of the undeniably weird doing the inexplicable, The Sparks Brothers is also in cinemas.

Brilliantly paced and uncomfortable in all the right ways, Sympathy For The Devil is a triumph.
