Sicario (2015)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2015, Denis Villeneuve, Mexico, USA
  • 1 Comment

Villeneuve’s film builds suspense like a worker laying bricks – slowly but surely, giving us a largely solid Mexican cartel infiltration thriller that packs a strong punch.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Inside Out (2015)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2015, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • 6 Comments

One of the very, very best in the Pixar canon, and that’s saying something.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Louder Than Bombs (2015)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2015, France, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • Leave a comment

There are richly-realised characters and performances in this layered drama about depression, centering on a family who can’t seem to communicate with each other, but it doesn’t quite come together in a resonating way by its denouement. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

  • Mascaro, Gabriel
  • 2015, Brazil, Gabriel Mascaro
  • 2 Comments

A man involved in Brazilian rodeo dreams of being in the fashion industry in Mascaro’s eye-opening, naturalistic work. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Trap (2015)

  • Mendoza, Brillante
  • 2015, Brillante Mendoza, Philippines
  • Leave a comment

Mendoza’s blending of documentary and fictional elements mostly works in this hard-hitting docu-drama about the survivors of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Thanatos, Drunk (2015)

  • Chang Tso-chi
  • 2015, Chang Tso-chi, Taiwan
  • 1 Comment

A layered, non-linear Taiwanese LGBT drama centering on the outsiders of society—their lives, struggles, and tragedies.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Junun (2015)

  • Anderson, Paul Thomas
  • 2015, Documentary, India, Paul Thomas Anderson, USA
  • Leave a comment

P.T. Anderson’s mesmerising hour-long shot-in-India documentary about the coming together of musicians to record an album is a musical dream transcending its raw, no-frills production.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Talvar (2015)

  • Others
  • 2015, India
  • Leave a comment

A polished if sometimes overly-dramatised ‘Rashomon’-style account of the infamous and haunting 2008 Noida double murder case that till today no one knows the truth to.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Anomalisa (2015)

  • Others
  • 2015, Charlie Kaufman, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

Charlie Kaufman’s quaint and surreal stop-motion animation won’t blow you away, but its mature themes of isolation and companionship largely resonate.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Body (2015)

  • Others
  • 2015, Malgorzata Szumowska, Poland
  • Leave a comment

This precise drama by one of Poland’s foremost female directors is wryly comic if also conceptually peculiar as it explores grief and the afterlife against a father-and-daughter narrative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
