The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl (2017) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The farce is infectiously fun and visually joyous.” – Total Film Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Dennis Skinner: Nature of the Beast (2017) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Affectionate yet meandering, it lingers too long on minutiae. Still, Skinner is a funny, fascinating man, explored here with fervency.” – Total Film Sep 5, 2017 Full Review In This Corner of the World (2016) 97% 5/5 EDIT “An exquisite portrait of Hiroshima before the bomb that conjures a powerful sense of what - and who - was lost.” – Total Film Jun 26, 2017 Full Review The Salesman (2016) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Sparse and intricate, it's a study of judgement, of 'honour', of Emad's own fragile masculinity; one paralleled cleverly by his role in a production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.” – Total Film Mar 16, 2017 Full Review Precious Cargo (2016) 0% 1/5 EDIT “[A] contender for blandest heist movie ever made.” – Total Film Jan 2, 2017 Full Review The Killing$ of Tony Blair (2016) 73% 3/5 EDIT “It's slick and spirited but reveals nothing sensational, and is inevitably hindered by Galloway's ego -- his anecdotes and clunky one-liners only serve to weaken the polemic.” – Total Film Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Ivan's Childhood (1963) 100% 5/5 EDIT “No one paints a stark landscape like Tarkovsky, but we're not just talking surface beauty; the director shows a rare understanding of the consequences of combat.” – Total Film Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Exposed (2016) 8% 1/5 EDIT “A story which makes little to no sense, with huge sub-plots (all involving black or Latino characters) either abandoned or stitched awkwardly together.” – Total Film Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Central Intelligence (2016) 71% 2/5 EDIT “The leads have chemistry, but there's only so far they can elevate such obvious material.” – Total Film Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Traders (2015) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Takes a while to click, and there's a clunky voiceover, but this is an eye-catching debut.” – Total Film Jan 1, 2017 Full Review Johnny Guitar (1954) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Not too many westerns culminate in a six-gun showdown between two women -- but then Nicholas Ray wasn't your average filmmaker.” – Total Film Jan 1, 2017 Full Review The Wild Life (2016) 18% 2/5 EDIT “If you're old enough to read this then you're probably too old for this bright and child-friendly animation.” – Total Film Jan 1, 2017 Full Review Streetdance Family (2016) 4/5 EDIT “Cinemas are practically popping with hip-hop dance dramas, but this low-budget doc is the real thing.” – Total Film Dec 30, 2016 Full Review A Beautiful Planet (2016) 100% 4/5 EDIT “This is a short but overwhelming experience: a doc exploring not just Earth's magnificence, but how we take it for granted.” – Total Film Dec 30, 2016 Full Review Risen (2016) 53% 2/5 EDIT “It's a novel take on a Biblical classic, but CSI: Judea only lasts for about 30 minutes before Clavius discovers "Yeshua" (Cliff Curtis) alive and grinning.” – Total Film Dec 28, 2016 Full Review Reset (2015) 71% 3/5 EDIT “For dance fans this is a fascinating study of the time, effort and logistics that go into a big production.” – Total Film Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Operation Chromite (2016) 40% 2/5 EDIT “Entertaining in its own way, though probably not in the way intended.” – Total Film Dec 27, 2016 Full Review The Coming War on China (2016) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Interesting, but hardly subtle.” – Total Film Dec 5, 2016 Full Review The Heritage of Love (2016) 2/5 EDIT “Soaring strings and dramatic glances tell you they are in love, but director Yuriy Vasilev never really shows it.” – Total Film Dec 1, 2016 Full Review The Search for Simon (2013) 3/5 EDIT “There's a scrappy, amateurish charm to this sci-fi comedy, a story about a man (director Martin Gooch) who's convinced that his long-lost brother has been abducted by aliens.” – Total Film Dec 1, 2016 Full Review Bill (2015) 90% 3/5 EDIT “A Horrible Histories film by any other name, Bill sees the cast of the popular CBBC show unite for a daft, affectionate take on the rise-to-fame years of William Shakespeare.” – Total Film Oct 31, 2016 Full Review Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Scares are still rudimentary, but rooted in a sharper script.” – Total Film Oct 19, 2016 Full Review Kate Plays Christine (2016) 83% 3/5 EDIT “A surreal, layered look at the nature of truth.” – Total Film Oct 13, 2016 Full Review A Good American (2015) 80% 3/5 EDIT “A sensational claim, but it lacks hard evidence or opposing perspectives.” – Total Film Sep 27, 2016 Full Review K-Shop (2016) 75% 3/5 EDIT “It may not be the most subtle take on 'binge Britain', but first-time writer/director Dan Pringle has a gift for the gruesome.” – Total Film Jul 27, 2016 Full Review
