Films Reviews (By Enjoyment)

All other things aside, how did you feel for those two hours? Were you glued to your seat? Did the film speak to your soul? Was it upsetting, disappointing, or just plain boring? Were you even awake?

Marked out of 5.

SUS

SUS stands as an accomplished piece of drama which may be badly suited to cinema but deserves a gold star for effort at least

Familia Rodante

Familia Rodante leaves the audience in easy satisfaction, but with little left to chew on once the credits roll

Howl’s Moving Castle


Enjoyment score: Enjoyment Score

Last Days

Last Days is a somewhat indulgent artistic departure from the traditional forms of story telling

Night Watch

This is not the start of a Russian revolution

Oliver Twist

Roman Polanski shows us that life in Victorian Britain could be a harrowing struggle to a grim end indeed

The Business

Relatively low on sex, drugs and violence, The Business may disappoint some genre fans, but in doing so it achieves a kind of naive charm

Triomf

Shocking, dark yet distinctively compassionate, Raeburn assertively probes the counter-effects apartheid had on the white lower classes it was supposedly installed to benefit

Sky Blue

One of the reasons Sky Blue succeeds is due to the stately, unhurried way in which the plot unfurls

Mysterious Skin

Araki has abandoned his rough-around-the-edges exploitation style in order to give Mysterious Skin the dream-like textures and ironic juxtapositions of David Lynch

Greenberg

Ultimately, Greenberg will be judged on a script which, in its substitution of wispy idiosyncrasy for sharp, biting humour, may well see Baumbach win over the cynics

Tetro

Tetro may echo the themes of Francis Ford Coppola’s past masterpieces, but this is the return of an artist, not a legend
