Rating T-Meter Title | Year Review
4/5 93% Good Time (2017) This eyes-open-to-the-world NYC crime thriller is cocky, grubby and electric.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 25, 2017
3/5 75% The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) There's precious little warm blood pumping through this beautifully crafted but clinical film.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 24, 2017
4/5 72% The Beguiled (2017) An exquisitely crafted drama of seduction, survival and sexual awakening.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 24, 2017
4/5 95% The Other Side of Hope (Toivon tuolla puolen) (2017) A deeply humane film, as well as a quietly hilarious one.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 22, 2017
4/5 89% The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017) There's great energy to this film: quick dialogue, snappy performances and a lived-in feel.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 22, 2017
3/5 79% Okja (2017) The creature effects are charming, but the pig-chasing antics and cartoonish corporate nastiness that dominate much of the film become seriously grating.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 19, 2017
3/5 28% King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (2017) It's patchy and chaotic - but also an energetic spectacle. ‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 10, 2017
1/5 8% The Last Face (2017) Sean Penn's pompous, ethically bankrupt humanitarian aid drama would surely have worked better as a charity single.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 8, 2017
2/5 40% Whisky Galore (2017) This creakily old-fashioned remake of the 1949 Ealing comedy never finds its feet.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted May 2, 2017
3/5 48% The Promise (2017) You have to swallow some inadequacies to get the most out of The Promise. It is appealingly photographed and boasts some stunning location work, yet it's also saddled with the tone of a biblical epic, invisibly watermarked with the label important. ‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Apr 21, 2017
3/5 86% LA 92 (2017) Works hard to give a sense of what it must have been like on the ground.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Apr 18, 2017
3/5 46% Going in Style (2017) All three stars deliver exactly what you expect from them -- nothing more, nothing new -- but their onscreen familiarity is a strange comfort in itself.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Apr 11, 2017
4/5 72% The Sense Of An Ending (2017) This is a mature film that asks us to bring a lot of ourselves to it.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Apr 10, 2017
3/5 57% Mad to Be Normal (2017) Tennant's performance is strong, and he gives energy to a script that jolts in different directions looking for focus. ‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Apr 3, 2017
5/5 92% A Quiet Passion (2017) It's rare to see a film that makes such subtle sense of an artist's life and mind.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Apr 3, 2017
4/5 91% The Olive Tree (El olivo) (2016) Commentary on a changing Europe underpins 'The Olive Tree', but the human relationships are most poignant here.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Mar 13, 2017
3/5 97% The Salesman (Forushande) (2017) Charged, intelligent but not entirely satisfying.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Mar 13, 2017
4/5 78% Viceroy's House (2017) Clumsily fuses political drama with romantic melodrama.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Feb 27, 2017
4/5 57% Trespass Against Us (2017) The accents may not be perfect, but the sparring between father and son, with violence just underneath the surface, is convincing.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Feb 27, 2017
4/5 93% Fences (2016) Washington is very good, but it's Davis - hurt, proud, determined - who's the star of this show.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Feb 6, 2017
4/5 78% T2 Trainspotting (2017) It has just enough of those two ingredients that made the first film such a gem: style and soul.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Jan 20, 2017
4/5 72% Sing (2016) The animation itself might not be the most inventive out there (this isn't Pixar), but where Sing soars is in its one-by-one attention to its ensemble of beasts and its obvious passion for music‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Dec 21, 2016
3/5 17% Assassin's Creed (2016) The relentless gloom can feel oppressive, but there's plenty of ambition here, especially in the layered storytelling and woozy sense of time and place, with plenty of soaring aerial shots that nod quietly to the all-seeing eye of a computer game.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Dec 20, 2016
4/5 85% Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) A punchy standalone action tale about a spunky Rebel Alliance resistance group.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Dec 13, 2016
3/5 91% Uncle Howard (2016) A testament to lives cut short and stories half-told.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Dec 13, 2016
4/5 100% Things to Come (L'avenir) (2016) It echoes Hansen-Løve's previous films in her delicate approach to the passing of time and her sensitivity toward life's expectations and disappointments.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Nov 23, 2016
4/5 96% Moana (2016) There's not a prince or potential husband in sight; Moana's future is entirely defined by her leadership and ability to fend off the mansplaining know-it-all Maui. As messages go, we'll take it.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Nov 23, 2016
4/5 100% The New Man (2016) A playful, painful film, artful and honest.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Nov 14, 2016
2/5 82% Indignation (2016) A mildly interesting coming-of-age tale, nothing more.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Nov 14, 2016
4/5 96% 13th (2016) The film is both a powerful work of history and a lucid argument for change.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 30, 2016

Read More | Posted Sep 26, 2016

Read More | Posted Sep 19, 2016
4/5 90% The Clan (El Clan) (2016) Pablo Trapero recalls the case in gruesome, macabre detail, exploring it with energy and elan.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 13, 2016
4/5 95% The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years (2016) A sparky, moving and funny film about John, Paul, George and Ringo, whose own youthful words provide the film's best moments.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 13, 2016
3/5 77% Chuck (2017) One for forgiving fans of macho nostalgia fests.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 6, 2016
5/5 100% One More Time With Feeling (2016) A deeply personal film, uncomfortable to watch at times. ‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 6, 2016
3/5 89% Frantz (2017) Slightly over-polite, but the sense of festering postwar anger and pain is strong.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 6, 2016
4/5 87% Hacksaw Ridge (2016) There aren't many shades of grey in 'Hacksaw Ridge', but it follows through its purpose with vigour, confidence and swagger‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 6, 2016
4/5 93% La La Land (2016) Breaking into song and dance can be both deadly serious and a whole lot of fun.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Sep 2, 2016

Read More | Posted Sep 2, 2016

Read More | Posted Sep 1, 2016
4/5 88% The Childhood of a Leader (2016) This is not always a subtle film, but its spooky mood leaves a strong impression.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Aug 15, 2016
4/5 93% Swallows and Amazons (2016) It's a charmingly old-fashioned family adventure - one that you can imagine several generations of a family gathering to watch on a rainy grey Sunday afternoon.‐ Time Out
Read More | Posted Aug 15, 2016
4/5 25% Suicide Squad (2016) A twisted B-side to some of the slicker comic book movies. ‐ Time Out

Read More | Posted Jun 29, 2016
4/5 93% Notes on Blindness (2016) The depiction of early 1980s Britain - dark, rainy, almost entirely brown - is especially vivid. ‐ Time Out
