Lawless (2012)

  • Hillcoat, John
  • 2012, John Hillcoat, USA
  • 1 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.

Lincoln (2012)

  • Spielberg, Steven
  • 2012, Steven Spielberg, USA
  • 5 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.

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
  • 2 Comments

Petzoldโ€™s strong command of his craft is evident here in this measured and nuanced Stasi anti-thriller featuring a wary female doctor in โ€˜80s East Germany who desires to defect.

Hunt, The (2012)

  • Vinterberg, Thomas
  • 2012, Denmark, Thomas Vinterberg
  • 3 Comments

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

Amour (2012)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 2012, France, Michael Haneke
  • 3 Comments

Another astonishing Haneke film that deals with psychological and philosophical depth the realities of old age.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

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

Colourful characters adorn this emotionally restrained, but immensely quirky Wes Anderson dollhouse drama.

Tabu (2012)

  • Gomes, Miguel
  • 2012, Miguel Gomes, Portugal
  • 3 Comments

A masterfully thought-out and dreamlike meta-fiction by a remarkable talent of Portuguese cinemaโ€”it is both visually arresting and poetically told, and will leave you in a trance.

Rust and Bone (2012)

  • Audiard, Jacques
  • 2012, France, Jacques Audiard
  • Leave a comment

Audiard’s direction of his actors is excellent, but the film is marred by his weak handling of tone.

Three Sisters (2012)

  • Wang Bing
  • 2012, China, Hong Kong, Wang Bing
  • Leave a comment

The China that you wonโ€™t see, as Wang Bing observes with tenderness the daily lives of a young girl and her siblings in a poor rural village in Yunnan province.
