Love Actually (2003) 65% 3/5 EDIT “As far as frothy, feelgood stuff goes, Love Actually works on most levels.” – Total Film Nov 5, 2019 Full Review El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) 92% EDIT “El Camino is a carefully crafted gift to Breaking Bad fans.” – Esquire Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review The Adopted (2011) 45% 2/5 EDIT “The longer The Adopted runs for the lazier and more mawkish it becomes, ending at last on what has to be a very, very strong contender for the year's worst final shot.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011) 44% 2/5 EDIT “This is a muzzled beast of an epic, all its sharp, strange edges blunted, its askew angles righted.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review The Hunger Games (2012) 84% 4/5 EDIT “This is explicitly not a film about young love, or being torn between boyfriends...It's about being brave, and being alone, and having to grow up too soon.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review This Must Be the Place (2011) 66% 4/5 EDIT “It's a beguilingly strange, distancing, even discombobulating venture, at times gently lyrical, at others nightmarish.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Damsels in Distress (2011) 75% 3/5 EDIT “A rare, perplexing, rather joyous oddity.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review The Artist (2011) 95% 5/5 EDIT “There are scenes here with the potential to become genuinely iconic.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Your Sister's Sister (2011) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Huge, primal emotions - grief, unrequited love, the longing for family - are expressed here as the everyday, and it's in this that Your Sister's Sister finds its quiet power.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Magic Mike (2012) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Magic Mike is less strip than strip search, its aesthetic thrills giving way to a probing and deceptively simple study of characters wresting with their limitations.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review North by Northwest (1959) 97% EDIT “By seeming to acknowledge the insanity that surrounds him and taking droll pleasure in it, Grant implicitly allows the audience to revel in it too.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Perks hits on a kind of universal nostalgia for the teenage years...without blunting the sharp, dark edges it simultaneously imparts.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Playing outspoken, emotionally damaged young widow Tiffany, Lawrence is a firecracker, a powder keg, a force of nature.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review I, Anna (2012) 58% 3/5 EDIT “This is an unusual film, a visually bold film...that hits on some painful, largely unspoken truths about aging and isolation.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) 91% 4/5 EDIT “This is a heartfelt and smart-tongued micro sci-fi with a tone and voice entirely its own, faltering only in its half-hearted attempts to become an ensemble piece.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review The Queen of Versailles (2012) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Greenfield's affection for her subjects ensures that they never remain the victims of their own story for long - Jackie herself is ceaselessly likable despite her tone-deaf ditziness.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Robot & Frank (2012) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Robot & Frank nonetheless feels like a story in search of an emotional pay-off.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Simon Killer (2012) 77% 3/5 EDIT “[Simon] is an alienated and alienating character, and this chilling character study is near-impossible to love but easy to admire.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review The East (2013) 77% 3/5 EDIT “As it is, crippling plot holes and underdrawn characters may mean you're less than wholly seduced by The East.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) 78% 4/5 EDIT “The story is as simple as it gets, but this is closer to sense experience than narrative, the kind of pleasure that sweeps you up and sets you down somewhere new.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Dallas Buyers Club (2013) 92% 3/5 EDIT “It's a dated, often clumsy drama buoyed by two eminently fresh and graceful performances.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review No (2012) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Nonetheless, this is a rigorously drawn account of a remarkable coup that delves shrewdly into the machinations of political marketing.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2018 Full Review Compliance (2012) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It will leave you feeling traumatized and ugly and soul-sick, and so it should.” – The Arts Desk May 19, 2018 Full Review The Bling Ring (2013) 59% 4/5 EDIT “Coppola has captured this troubling moment of modern truth in a glossy, shrewd snapshot.” – The Arts Desk May 19, 2018 Full Review Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A passionate, wrenching and genuinely complete portrait of a human being in flux.” – The Arts Desk May 19, 2018 Full Review
