Thelma (2017) 92% 7/10 EDIT “It does go to some dark places and our heroine emerges as a yet another shining example of a feminist horror avenger, if not nearly as iconic as some that came before her.” – Starburst Nov 8, 2017 Full Review Strangled (2016) 82% 5/10 EDIT “While Strangled is an interesting, if highly disturbing story, it's let down a little by its script and style.” – Starburst Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) 90% 9/10 EDIT “Three Billboards is a wonderfully tragic comedy that gifts McDormand with an incredible character.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Jailbreak (2017) 67% 6/10 EDIT “Overall, Jailbreak is an impressive effort and will likely appeal to fans of the fight scenes in The Raid. Just don't expect to be as impressed by anything outside of the kinetic, expertly choreographed clashes.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review The Endless (2017) 91% 8/10 EDIT “There's a neat premise at the heart of The Endless and its characters feel real enough to keep you engaged even as the plot gets more peculiar.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Blade of the Immortal (2017) 87% 7/10 EDIT “Miike has his own wicked sense of humour and while there is plenty of stunning fight choreography; the real draw is Manji's relationship with the little girl.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Happy End (2017) 69% 7/10 EDIT “Fuelled by superb performances, particularly from old-timer Trintignant and teen Fantine Harduin as Eve, the film truly finds a heart when it puts these two contrasting faces together in a scene.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Good Manners (2017) 96% 8/10 EDIT “It's one of those films that needs to be seen to be believed. Dealing with desire and death, growing pains and inequality, Good Manners is truly unique and surprisingly touching come the finale.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review 78/52 (2017) 88% 6/10 EDIT “For everyone else who has ever thought studying film would suck all the joy out of actually watching films, stay well clear.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Pickups (2017) 60% 6/10 EDIT “While Pickups does have some interesting insights into the actor's process and the pressures of fame, its best in its most meta-moments but ultimately its ideas could have been summed up in a short.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Last Flag Flying (2017) 77% 8/10 EDIT “Frequently funny but with an undercurrent of raw sadness, Last Flag Flying reminds again just how great a filmmaker Linklater is, and shows that he has an exciting career ahead documenting the years beyond the joys of youth.” – Starburst Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Thoroughbreds (2017) 87% 6/10 EDIT “Perhaps a little too cold and calculated, Thoroughbreds is dark, but lacking in real bite. A fairly impressive beast then, but not a race winner.” – Starburst Oct 18, 2017 Full Review MFKZ (2017) 39% 8/10 EDIT “For every silly or sexist misstep, there's always a Shakespeare-quoting gangster round the next corner to slap a grin right back on your face. Mutafukaz is bound to be the coolest animation you'll see this year.” – Starburst Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Sicilian Ghost Story (2017) 91% 6/10 EDIT “Julia Jedlikowska is an excellent lead and shines as the determined teen. While her tale does meander, it is her experiences of first love that give Sicilian Ghost Story its hypnotic and tender heartbeat.” – Starburst Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Ingrid Goes West (2017) 84% 8/10 EDIT “Ingrid Goes West is bright, funny as hell and so full of contemporary razor-sharp insight that it will make many in the audience squirm. Fuelled by Aubrey Plaza's hysterical performance, it's almost #perfect.” – Starburst Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Allied (2016) 60% 5/10 EDIT “Allied wants to be a classic tale of war, deception and doomed love, but despite the calibre of all involved, it's simply a fitfully entertaining but oddly-plotted affair.” – Starburst Nov 29, 2016 Full Review Orange Sunshine (2016) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Orange Sunshine is a riveting documentary with an exciting, thought-provoking, tragic and hopeful story to tell. Sit back and enjoy the vibe.” – Starburst Oct 25, 2016 Full Review Dog Eat Dog (2016) 51% 4/10 EDIT “Unfortunately, all Dog Eat Dog reveals is a group of talented people with their best work long behind them.” – Starburst Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Prevenge (2016) 92% 6/10 EDIT “While perhaps serious in some of what it has to say about the pregnancy experience, as well as the state of the world we live in, Prevenge mostly sticks to dark laughs and does it well.” – Starburst Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Nocturama (2016) 82% 6/10 EDIT “Despite its contemporary relevance, it's a shame this didn't dig deeper and tackle the more precise, pressing issues France (and the rest of Europe) faces today.” – Starburst Oct 21, 2016 Full Review It's Only the End of the World (2016) 44% 8/10 EDIT “Dolan offers his cast no way of hiding, deploying a consistent set of stylistic techniques to enhance all these gut-wrenching performances.” – Starburst Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Trespass Against Us (2016) 56% 9/10 EDIT “It all boils down to the complicated relationships of fathers and sons, but with some riveting action and heart-tugging drama, Trespass Against Us ends up as thrilling must-see.” – Starburst Oct 21, 2016 Full Review American Honey (2016) 79% 8/10 EDIT “American Honey will frustrate some but as a time capsule and ode to youthful energy, it's priceless.” – Starburst Oct 13, 2016 Full Review Una (2016) 76% 7/10 EDIT “What could have been a sensationalist ripped-from-the-headlines expose of a disturbing relationship is handled tensely, but sensitively.” – Starburst Oct 13, 2016 Full Review The Handmaiden (2016) 96% 7/10 EDIT “Led by two fantastic lead performances, The Handmaiden is smart, sadistic and sexy as hell.” – Starburst Oct 13, 2016 Full Review
