Who'll Stop the Rain? (1978) 81% EDIT “Who'll Stop the Rain is a suspense-adventure movie given greater weight and complexity by undertones of moral questions which, if unsolved, are at least raised.” – Berkeley Barb May 12, 2021 Full Review We Were Here (2011) 100% EDIT “This powerful, affecting film should help ensure that by remembering the past we will not be condemned to repeat it.” – The Arts Desk May 27, 2020 Full Review Love, Gilda (2018) 89% EDIT “The result, like much of Radner's comedy, is entertaining, appealing, and more soft-centered than challenging or acerbic.” – Slate Sep 20, 2018 Full Review A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018) 67% EDIT “There's a sense that the filmmakers have bitten off more than they can chew by trying to cram both the biography and the panoramic overview into one feature.” – Slate Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Entourage (2015) 32% 3/5 EDIT “If you're prepared to sit back and enjoy the limo ride, Entourage is enjoyable on its own terms as entertaining, breezy escapism.” – The Arts Desk Nov 22, 2017 Full Review Dear White People (2014) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Dear White People embodies the virtues of the truly independent film, substituting strong writing, good performances from a largely unfamiliar cast, and a fresh, distinctive vision for the blockbuster's hefty budget.” – The Arts Desk Nov 22, 2017 Full Review Rosewater (2014) 76% 3/5 EDIT “On the whole Rosewater is an auspicious debut, but I suspect it has taught Stewart that when it comes to movies, as opposed to journalism, a little blatant emotional manipulation is no bad thing.” – The Arts Desk Nov 20, 2017 Full Review A Little Chaos (2014) 47% 3/5 EDIT “Even audiences who don't come expecting nail-biting action may find the pace is overly languorous and the drama somewhat meandering.” – The Arts Desk Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Dior and I (2014) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Anyone who enjoys seeing the process behind creating a beautiful object and a peek into a rarified world should find Dior and I a good fit.” – The Arts Desk Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Love & Mercy (2014) 90% 4/5 EDIT “As with all such biopics of artists, it helps to be a fan of the work, but Wilson is a sufficiently sympathetic central figure and the story compelling enough to appeal beyond aficionados.” – The Arts Desk Jan 1, 2016 Full Review Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) 91% EDIT “[Birdman] perches adroitly between dark humour and darker despair and injects a familiar story of mid-life crisis with fresh vitality and emotion thanks to vivid flights of an intensely cinematic fancy.” – The Arts Desk Jan 2, 2015 Full Review
