Search: Directed by Kevin Macdonald

Retains a tight grip on your imagination

A funny and attention grabbing portrait of a unique filmmaker.

Macdonald proceeds to let his narrative grind to a halt from which it never recovers.

A fascinating piece of work, mixing glamour and darkness and a lot of uncertainty.

The cinematic equivalent of coffee table literature.

It is a brave film that portrays Idi Amin not simply as a monster, but as a complex individual.

The film builds like thriller, its narrative supported by archive footage and interviews with Marzia and her fellow students.

The charisma of the interviewees is what makes the film interesting to watch.

Despite Rahim's excellent work, the real standout here is Benedict Cumberbatch.

While exposing fatal flaws in police handling of the incident, MacDonald is less interested in beating them over the head with hard facts than in remembering the human story and making a film that retains constant tension.

The producers have kept what was best about the original, added some interesting touches and resisted the temptation to pile on the contrivances and explosions.

Some of the best, most convincing climbing sequences ever filmed.

More than Aretha, more than anyone, she became the figure of change for the black community
