Prometheus (2012)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2012, Ridley Scott, USA
  • 8 Comments

Ridley Scott sets expectations too high in this generally solid sci-fi epic let down by an unfocused screenplay and suspect pacing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Frances Ha (2012)

  • Baumbach, Noah, Criterion Collection
  • 2012, Noah Baumbach, USA
  • Leave a comment

Baumbach’s charming if at times elegiac black-and-white drama about self-discovery and acceptance features an indelible performance by Greta Gerwig.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Wolf Children (2012)

  • Hosoda, Mamoru
  • 2012, Japan, Mamoru Hosoda
  • 1 Comment

This beautiful Japanese animated feature by Hosoda is endearing, but it may feel a bit too lengthy at times.

Lawless (2012)

  • Hillcoat, John
  • 2012, John Hillcoat, USA
  • Leave a comment

Featuring an exceptional performance by Tom Hardy, Lawless is an assured and entertaining crime-thriller from John Hillcoat that is also very violent and bloody.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Lincoln (2012)

  • Spielberg, Steven
  • 2012, Steven Spielberg, USA
  • 3 Comments

Another commanding performance by Daniel Day-Lewis lifts this uncharacteristically slow-paced and talky Spielberg film from being too self-absorbed in its historical importance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Savages (2012)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 2012, Oliver Stone, USA
  • Leave a comment

Oliver Stone is back in business in this brutal crime drama about drug cartels that is also flashy and entertaining.

Barbara (2012)

  • Petzold, Christian
  • 2012, Christian Petzold, Germany

Petzold’s strong command of his craft is evident here in this measured and nuanced Stasi anti-thriller featuring a wary female doctor in ‘80s East Germany who desires to defect. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Hunt, The (2012)

  • Vinterberg, Thomas
  • 2012, Denmark, Thomas Vinterberg
  • 2 Comments

Drags a bit too long for its own good, but Vinterberg’s latest remains to be a fairly compelling drama with fine performances.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

  • Anderson, Wes, Criterion Collection
  • 2012, USA, Wes Anderson
