It’s Only the End of the World (2016)

  • Dolan, Xavier
  • 2016, Canada, France, Xavier Dolan
  • Leave a comment

Not exactly a rewarding film, but this intensely bleak and implosive drama makes a fine point or two about the state of dysfunctional, incommunicable families.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Jason Bourne (2016)

  • Greengrass, Paul, Popular
  • 2016, Paul Greengrass, USA
  • 1 Comment

Not one of Paul Greengrass’ most coherent thrillers, but this belated reunion with Matt Damon remains compelling and makes a semi-solid case for continuing sequels.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Salesman, The (2016)

  • Farhadi, Asghar
  • 2016, Asghar Farhadi, Iran
  • 1 Comment

A lesser effort by Farhadi in the bigger scheme of things, but it is no less an intricate drama on the vulnerabilities of human relationships.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

After the Storm (2016)

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 2016, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan
  • 1 Comment

Not one of the master’s finest, but Koreeda’s subtle touch continues to bring warmth and insight to the complexity of modern family relations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Paterson (2016)

  • Jarmusch, Jim
  • 2016, Jim Jarmusch, USA
  • Leave a comment

Jarmusch’s understated film about a bus-driving poet is both a charming and tranquil experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yourself and Yours (2016)

  • Hong, Sang-soo
  • 2016, Hong, Sang-soo, South Korea
  • 1 Comment

Another light and whimsical entry into the Hong Sang-soo canon, and as usual, musing on the intricacies of romantic relationships.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Personal Shopper (2016)

  • Assayas, Olivier, Criterion Collection
  • 2016, France, Olivier Assayas
  • 5 Comments

Olivier Assayas’ beguiling take on the ‘ghost story’, made with a blend of sensuality and tension, and backed by a stirring turn by Kristen Stewart.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Hail, Caesar! (2016)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 2016, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • Leave a comment

A light-hearted romp in the park that is true to the Coens’ off-kilter style, even if it doesn’t hold a candle to some of their finer works.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
