Hidden Figures (2016) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Hidden Figures is engaging, entertaining and enlightening -- but by playing fast and loose with historical fact, it risks blunting some of the story's eye-opening emotional force.” – The National (UAE) Feb 23, 2017 Full Review Live by Night (2016) 35% 3/5 EDIT “With veteran cinematographer Robert Richardson behind the lens, the film looks fantastic. The period sets gleam with a dreamlike Hollywood sheen. But more grit could have been poured into the mix.” – The National (UAE) Feb 1, 2017 Full Review Solitaire (2016) 3/5 EDIT “This lengthy, dinner table scene forms the movie's claustrophobic centrepiece - the tension and humour steadily ramped, with mature pacing, until an inevitable emotional explosion moves the movie forward to it's final third.” – The National (UAE) Dec 14, 2016 Full Review Halal Love (2016) 3.5/5 EDIT “While the theme may be nothing new, it's the fanciful and funny way writer-director Assad Fouladkar slyly explore a series of interwoven everyday stories -- four couples seeking a love that is, indeed, "halal" -- which breathes fresh life.” – The National (UAE) Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Bridge of Spies (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The master of multiplexes certainly found a fantastic tale for his 31st feature.” – The National (UAE) Feb 19, 2016 Full Review Black Mass (2015) 74% 3/5 EDIT “What we're left with is a gripping mood piece without a payoff, a film lacking the dramatic or emotional intrigue we associate with mob movies -- and that remain necessary to any film.” – The National (UAE) Oct 7, 2015 Full Review The Intern (2015) 59% 2/5 EDIT “The pairing of these two talents should never have been frittered away on such an inconsequential and lightweight conceit.” – The National (UAE) Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Vacation (2015) 27% 1/5 EDIT “The silly season of summer sequels and reboots turns up its most barrel-scrapingly bad offerings yet.” – The National (UAE) Aug 13, 2015 Full Review Paper Towns (2015) 58% 3/5 EDIT “The lead performances are commendable, there's a genial chemistry between the three male friends and most of the jokes work.” – The National (UAE) Jul 30, 2015 Full Review La Sapienza (2014) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Layered with reels of swirling shots of Rome's most beautiful buildings -- all crucially shot from the ground upwards, staring at the heavens-- La Sapienza is visually stunning.” – The National (UAE) Jun 5, 2015 Full Review American Sniper (2014) 71% 4/5 EDIT “This film demands to be seen and is rightfully sparking debate -- but doesn't tell the full story.” – The National (UAE) May 31, 2015 Full Review Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet (2014) 64% 4/5 EDIT “Allow yourself to be swept along with it, don't dig too deep and you will find that it is a genuinely effective combination of words, pictures and music.” – The National (UAE) May 8, 2015 Full Review
