Search: Starring Vanessa Redgrave

If Emmerich doesn't quite hit all his targets dead-on, he should at least be commended for trying to take his career and chosen genre down a less obvious route while remaining crowd-pleasing.

You'll be lucky to see another film this year as absorbing and evocative as Atonement.

For better or worse, Antonioni’s got his master stylist hat on here, even if it sometimes obscures his vision.

The film also looks great, with a rich and varied colour palette and costume array, plus crisp camerawork from Barry Ackroyd combined with nifty editing.

The performances reflect Robbins' upbeat approach and are as enjoyable as they are inspired.

The writers, Michael (The Player) Tolkin and Bruce Joel (Ghost) Rubin are award winners. Why have they churned out a run-of-the-mildew script that makes Volcano read like a tight human interest item?

It’s a frenetic ride, but one that builds to a sombre climax.

Evening has all the advantages one might hope for. It's a shame, then, that it doesn't quite fulfill its potential.

Annette Bening plays a different character, raging against the truth, a bitch angel feeding her emotions.

The film has every quality of a personal story.

It is always wonderful when a film about a writer you admire produces sentences - be it in dialogue, commentary or excerpts you overlooked or forgot from the published texts - that are so poignant in the here and now and feel brand new.

Christopher Egan's achingly bad condescension to Hollywood's stupidest stereotype of the Englishman would be better suited to a Zucker brothers parody.

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.

Whether you’re a fan of the company’s work specifically or simply interested in the history of cinema, this portrait of its longest-lasting partnership will delight and entertain you.

The past and present are linked with only limited success.

This is very much an actors' film and the two leads are both on superb form.

Having laid the foundations for a tense, realistic thriller, using documentary footage wherever possible, Sean Penn blows it with unnecessary camera tricks.

A powerful, hard-hitting drama which simultaneously manages to be one of the funniest films of its era.

Truth be told, I wept buckets.

O'Toole is simply remarkable. He reinvents himself once again, stealing the breath away with his learned quicksilver wit and charisma.

Thought provoking and well acted.

A turgid, gelatinous epic that fails to find its feet until the tumultuous final reel.
