    At 86 minutes it absolutely whips along, but still finds time for dozens of moments of genuine beauty.

    Andrew Robertson · 4.5 out of 5
    A thief on a motorbike taunts the police in Rome.
  • Daughter Of Mine (2018)
    Review preview for Daughter Of Mine

    Beautifully lit, Daughter Of Mine conjures up a tremendous sense of place, all salt breezes, scrubland and golden sand.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5

  • Escape From LA (1996)
    Review preview for Escape From LA

    Degenerates into a haphazard mish-mash of special effects, action set pieces and largely pointless cameos.

    Keith Hennessey Brown · 2 out of 5
    By-the-numbers remake-cum-sequel to Escape from New York.
  • La Gioia (2025)
    Review preview for La Gioia

    This is a movie layered with meaning. A lipstick smudge turns into stigmata, a kiss can make you float and strangle you at the same time.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 5 out of 5
    Gioia is a high school teacher who has never known love beyond the suffocating grip of her parents, with whom she still lives. Her life shifts when she encounters Alessio, a student who uses his body as a means to get a few hundred euros to help his struggling mother.

  • The Indian Runner (1991)
    Review preview for The Indian Runner

    Jeff Robson · 3.5 out of 5
    A State patrolman tries to keep his troubled Vietnam veteran brother on the straight and narrow...
  • Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
    Review preview for Leaving Las Vegas

    Cage and Shue transform [their characters] into believable people you feel you could talk with - transcending the usual boundaries of the screen and your heart.

    Scott Macdonald · 5 out of 5
    A sensational, if doomed romance between a prostitute and a suicidal drunk.
  • Maria (2024)
    Review preview for Maria

    It is gorgeous, both to look at and to listen to. It's perhaps Larrain's most accessible film, though that's as much to do with its star as its subject.

    Andrew Robertson · 3.5 out of 5
    Dramatisation of the life of the opera singer Maria Callas.
  • Portrait Of A Lady On Fire (2019)

    On an isolated island in Bretagne at the end of the 18th century, a female painter is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman.
  • Quiet Chaos (2008)
    Review preview for Quiet Chaos

    With its simple plot and gentle pacing, Quiet Chaos relies on character and performance to keep viewers interested, and for the most part it pulls it off well.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    A bereaved husband decides to spend each day waiting for his daughter outside her school, discovering a new world in the process.
  • Respiro (2002)
    Review preview for Respiro

    You feel the heat of the rocks, the sensuality of cotton, the valiant isolation and the disregard of rules.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    Life on a rocky, sun bleached Mediterranean island is disrupted by an unconventional mother.
  • Rain Man (1988)
    Review preview for Rain Man

    This is not a great film. It is not a terrible film, either. It is a long film.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3.5 out of 5
    A man discovers his humanity on a road trip with his autistic brother.
