Search: Starring Liev Schreiber

There’s a specificity about the relationship between Cantwell and the Countess that makes it convince.

Anderson has absolute command of his craft and his cast are moulded to it.

Made wondrous by an inventive script.

Everything is fairly predictable and heavily signposted.

Good intentions and an interesting (though weird) core idea are not matched by the execution.

What Goon does well is action on the ice and banter.

The actors (or director) clearly only have half a clue what they're saying.

Although the acting here is uniformly good, both Schreiber and Tomei struggle to bring much life to characters whose encounters with struggle come so late in life that they seem singularly unengaged with the world.

Dominated... by a compelling, passionate, thoughtful and unforgiving performance from Denzel Washington.

Go in as a fan of Anderson's work and you will not be disappointed. Go in as a fan of film and you will likely be delighted.

A fluffy piece of nonsense that sidesteps more opportunities than it confronts.

A stunning doom-laden score manages to imbue even underwhelming moments with a sense of both unease and unexpected pathos.

Race is a complicated issue, and knowing the past, Daniels seems to say, is as important as making up your mind to act in the present.

Jonathan Demme directs with utter simplicity.

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

Visually and emotionally restrained, the Painted Veil shines with intellectual integrity.

Throughout, it’s uncomfortable viewing due to the sheer awkwardness of the subject matter.

Jake Schreier and scriptwriter Christopher Ford go well beyond the initial fun of the robot conceit to craft a thoughtful film musing on both the ageing process and our relationship with technology.

If it weren’t so po-faced it might pass as a bit of good, guilty fun.

When murder-most-foul becomes murder-most-samey, goose bumps flatten.

The drawing is good as the story scatters.

Spotlight does not fall into the trap of explanatory flashbacks. We do not need to see the protagonists' past because we can tell so much from what they are wearing.

Asinine and confusing.

It’s not a washout, it’s just a mixed bag.
