When Marnie Was There (2014)

  • Others
  • 2014, Hiromasa Yonebayashi, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • 1 Comment

A tale about self-acceptance, this modest Studio Ghibli anime may take a while to get going, but it achieves some kind of emotional crescendo by its denouement. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Coming Home (2014)

  • Zhang, Yimou
  • 2014, China, Zhang, Yimou
  • 1 Comment

The plot may involve repetition, but the dramatic power of its execution sees Zhang return close to the form of his early 1990s works.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, A (2014)

  • Others
  • 2014, Ana Lily Amirpour, USA
  • Leave a comment

It frequently feels like a self-admiring work intoxicated with its own style and mood, but this chic arthouse vampire indie, shot in the Persian language, offers a taste of honey amid the spillage of blood.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Girlhood (2014)

  • Sciamma, Celine
  • 2014, Celine Sciamma, France
  • 1 Comment

Sciamma’s nuanced if immersive coming-of-age drama fizzles out somewhat by the end, but her strong compassion for her characters remains resolute throughout.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, A (2014)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 2014, Roy Andersson, Sweden
  • 3 Comments

It has its great moments, but Andersson’s ‘Living’ trilogy closes on a lacklustre and disappointing note.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Interstellar (2014)

  • Nolan, Christopher
  • 2014, Christopher Nolan, USA
  • 1 Comment

Bold and visionary science-fiction, Nolan explores the soul of humanity in his darkest, most ambitious film yet.

Red Amnesia (2014)

  • Wang, Xiaoshuai
  • 2014, China, Wang, Xiaoshuai
  • 1 Comment

An unconventional mystery-drama about the burden of personal guilt as Wang Xiaoshuai riskily pursues narrative fragmentation that ultimately rewards with a strong finale. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Tribe, The (2014)

  • Others
  • 2014, Miroslav Slaboshpitsky, Ukraine
  • 1 Comment

Polished yet brutally raw, this Ukrainian sign language film is an audacious piece of cinema. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Inherent Vice (2014)

  • Anderson, Paul Thomas
  • 2014, Paul Thomas Anderson, USA
  • 1 Comment

A hip, strange, stylish, oddball-ish attempt by P.T. Anderson to capture the drug-fueled exploits of Thomas Pynchon’s eccentric detective operating in the dirty, seedy 1970s.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

While We’re Young (2014)

  • Baumbach, Noah
  • 2014, Noah Baumbach, USA
  • Leave a comment

A drama-comedy that tells us painful truths about growing up (and old) through the kind of offbeat comedy that writer-director Noah Baumbach is synonymous with.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
