Vice (2018) 64% 4/5 EDIT “An acting masterclass that neither pulls its punches nor sacrifices detail to pander to a mass audience, this is smart filmmaking from a director who gets better with every film - and a near career-best from Bale, which is saying something.” – Empire Magazine Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Tides (2017) 75% 2/5 EDIT “This kind of character piece needs to wield a microscope, not peer down reversed binoculars: otherwise why bother? You will, however, find yourself Googling canal boat holidays.” – Empire Magazine Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Assassination Nation (2018) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Like a real-life stroppy teen, Assassination Nation is pissed off with something new every five minutes - but there's style and sophistication here. The Trump era has its first dorm-room classic.” – Empire Magazine Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Peterloo (2018) 67% 4/5 EDIT “There are contemporary resonances for those who want them, but Peterloo succeeds on being an impactful recreation of a time and its injustices.” – Empire Magazine Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Mandy (2018) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A no-holds-barred ride into madness destined for a thousand midnight screenings.” – Empire Magazine Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Cold War (2018) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Pawlikowski is in complete control of the form, but this is no austere piece of work - he even finds time for a few good jokes. Accessible, humane and compassionate: what a treat this is.” – Empire Magazine Aug 28, 2018 Full Review The Festival (2018) 81% 3/5 EDIT “There are highs and lows here, with a fair amount of shoe leather required before you get to the good stuff. Pretty much like a real festival, appropriately enough.” – Empire Magazine Aug 15, 2018 Full Review A Prayer Before Dawn (2017) 92% 5/5 EDIT “For all the flying fists and the hero's nightmarish predicament, the notions of redemption examined here are plenty deep.” – Empire Magazine Jul 22, 2018 Full Review The Happy Prince (2018) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Even if his prosthetics make him look a bit like James May, Everett is near-flawless, and his film is a superb showcase for an actor whose celebrity has at times overshadowed his talent.” – Empire Magazine Jun 17, 2018 Full Review McQueen (2018) 99% 4/5 EDIT “A solid if, given its subject, oddly workmanlike doc, this makes a very good case both that the fashion world had a genius on its hands, and that they didn't have a clue what to do with him.” – Empire Magazine Jun 12, 2018 Full Review Redoubtable (2017) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Uncertain whether or not to lampoon or truly lay into Godard, in the end this biopic falls between two poles: ironic, given its subject is one of the most decisively committed filmmakers ever.” – Empire Magazine May 9, 2018 Full Review That Good Night (2017) 48% 3/5 EDIT “A former bon viveur with an acid tongue and a fondness for the kind of hats and scarves only the seriously arty can get away with, Hurt is pretty much playing himself.” – Empire Magazine May 9, 2018 Full Review Faberge: A Life of Its Own (2013) 2/5 EDIT “All the same, in these austere times, seeing well-offs enthusing over their latest status object will stick in many viewers throats.” – Total Film May 3, 2018 Full Review Death Wish (2018) 17% 2/5 EDIT “This is a film too embarrassed to be what it is. And shorn of capes and costumes, vigilantism is pretty ugly.” – Empire Magazine Apr 9, 2018 Full Review Thoroughbreds (2017) 87% 4/5 EDIT “What a calling card for Cory Finley, and this could be the last outing for its leads before superstardom beckons.” – Empire Magazine Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Dark River (2017) 81% 3/5 EDIT “This is a wilder, bigger thing than just another farmyard sink drama. There may be little you haven't seen elsewhere, but there's no denying the skill here.” – Empire Magazine Feb 21, 2018 Full Review Loveless (2017) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Come for the near-endless rows that convincingly carry the venom of a collapsed, resentful marriage; stay for the extended critique of Russia's contemporary spiritual vacancy.” – Empire Magazine Feb 7, 2018 Full Review The Mercy (2018) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Despite the hint of a stiff-upper-lip kind of reserve, this is astonishingly brutal. And Firth's performance makes this dark, dark story land.” – Empire Magazine Feb 5, 2018 Full Review 1918: Journey's End (2018) 91% 4/5 EDIT “An outstanding cast savours performing a play that has stood the test of time. Avoiding sentimentality, this is a valuable rejoinder to those who would sugar-coat mass slaughter.” – Empire Magazine Jan 29, 2018 Full Review The Final Year (2017) 83% 3/5 EDIT “As a document of what were likely the waning days of American empire, and the curious priorities its agents chose during them, this is fascinating.” – Empire Magazine Jan 17, 2018 Full Review Menashe (2017) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Doubling as a fascinating look at a subculture that is normally sealed off from the rest of us and a gently amusing comedy of manners, this manages to say an awful lot by, paradoxically, saying it endearingly gently.” – Empire Magazine Dec 7, 2017 Full Review The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) 79% 5/5 EDIT “Working as a profound meditation on karma, predestination and guilt and a proper scary movie, this is near career-best work from all involved. Be warned: this is tough stuff.” – Empire Magazine Oct 31, 2017 Full Review The Ritual (2017) 74% 3/5 EDIT “It may not rise above skilfully delivering horror tropes, but connoisseurs will eat up its refusal to wink at them.” – Empire Magazine Oct 9, 2017 Full Review Wind River (2017) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Taylor Sheridan's flair for creating heartland epics is undimmed, but it's hard not to wonder what someone with more directing chops, and the will to hit the accelerator, would have done with it.” – Empire Magazine Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Final Portrait (2017) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Sensibly dramatising a few representative days rather than Giacometti's whole life, this may seem slight, but there's a lot to dig into here - and Rush hasn't had a showcase this good in years.” – Empire Magazine Aug 10, 2017 Full Review
