The second coming of Trainspotting is a superfan-only affair, an inert nostalgia trip where the gang gets back together to do very little of note.
Split
M. Night Shyamalan’s latest is outlandish in premise and limp in execution.
Assassin’s Creed
ASSASSIN’S CREED is the latest in a lengthy list of failures in the realm of video game film adaption.
The Light Between Oceans
Despite generous performances by its leads, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS undermines its own capacity for complexity with flat characters and overreliance on pathos.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil offers flashes of brilliance doused by the disappointment of a missed opportunity, whilst laying the groundwork for important developments in the future of mainstream Bollywood.
Keeping Up With the Joneses
With its attractive cast and soft comedy of tired stereotypes, the new film from SUPERBAD director Greg Mottola has little new to offer.
Hacksaw Ridge
Depicting the service of a religious American pacifist in World War II, Mel Gibson’s new directorial outing is overtly beatific and brutal.
Bleed for This
Ben Younger’s by-the-numbers boxing tale sports a lacklustre script and a frustrating representation of its female characters.
The Girl on the Train
Even an admirable lead performance by Emily Blunt can’t make up for the lack of suspense or nuance in this GONE GIRL-esque thriller.
The Space Between
With haphazard plotting and characters, THE SPACE BETWEEN has little to offer beyond fetishised Italian landscapes.
