Search: Starring Rebecca Hall

The Awakening is a film that will keep you guesing as multiple possible solutions to its puzzles appear and disappear.

The wide-eyed young girl Sophie, who possesses a wisdom and bravura beyond her years, is beautifully caught by newcomer Ruby Barnhill.

Craig Shilowich's careful scripting avoids all the usual mental illness cliches and hystrionics to help us sympathise with her even in her most unpleasant moments.

Plot black holes quickly emerge and start to suck all believability out of the film.

To pull this off requires a strong script and intelligent direction, and, surprisingly, this film mostly succeeds, despite occasional moments of ham-fistedness.

There's something increasingly bland and uninvolving about this Will Ferrell vehicle which, like him or loathe him, you've got to admit is a kind of achievement.

It’s Frank Langella’s towering interpretation of Nixon that eventually makes every other character real.

As much of a mess as the aftermath of its set pieces.

Video game storytelling has advanced quite a bit, to be clear, but as with so many things large chunks of Godzilla X Kong are trapped in the early 1980s.

The film is polished when it could have been sharp.

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.

Although the cast all appear to be having a whale of a time, it doesn't quite translate to the amount of laughs it ought to.

Thumbs up here for graphics that are colourful, inventive and always interesting.

Ambiguity lurks in the shadows and there's a doubling up and a doubling down.

Hall is one of the most capable performers of her generation and it's a delight to see what she can do with an intelligent script like this.

It wouldn't matter so much if Holofcener was seeking to undercut some of this privilege but what the film appears to be saying is that it's okay to be materialistic, as long as you occasionally wring your hands about it first.

Wishaw is an absolute wonder, delivering the conversational, sometimes stream-of-consciousness dialogue with a constantly engaging, almost hypnotic cadence.

Some films envelope you, others baffle you. The Prestige is a mixture of the two.

It may be an odd choice for a biopic but it is certainly a brave one

Starter for Ten is not searing drama, but it does make for a pleasant and worthwhile trip down nostalgia lane.

The Town sets aside stylish thriller tropes in favour of realism, which makes the action scenes a lot more visceral and the characters rougher round the edges.

The best movie this wonderful writer/director has made in a long time; funny, sharp, perfectly paced and rather gorgeously shot, with a quartet of cracking parts for excellent actors placed firmly at its centre.
