Shadow (2018)

  • Zhang, Yimou
  • 2018, China, Zhang, Yimou
  • Leave a comment

A return to form in some ways, Zhang’s monochrome martial-arts drama is visually gorgeous but not always compelling.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Other Side of the Wind, The (2018)

  • Welles, Orson
  • 2018, France, Netflix, Orson Welles, USA
  • Leave a comment

Superbly-edited and exuding a sense of ‘new wave’ energy, Welles’ previously incomplete film before his death is now complete (or not?) in this strange, kaleidoscopic but rather uncompelling work. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

BlackKklansman (2018)

  • Lee, Spike
  • 2018, Spike Lee, USA
  • 2 Comments

A return to sterling form for Spike Lee, this is one of the year’s most powerful films, and it’s very funny too.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Yomeddine (2018)

3 stars

This Egyptian drama has an enriching human story to tell, but the execution is unfortunately sappy and slight.

Tel Aviv on Fire (2018)

  • Others
  • 2018, Israel
  • Leave a comment

3.5 stars

This delightful award-winning Israeli film scores with its unique portrayal of Palestinian-Israeli tensions, one that is marked by dramatic pretence and cold humour.

Jinpa (2018)

  • Tseden, Pema
  • 2018, Pema Tseden, Tibet
  • 1 Comment

3.5 stars

Tibetan filmmaker Pema Tseden explores karmic guilt and moral redemption in this slow but compelling arthouse work.

Giant Little Ones (2018)

  • Others
  • 2018, Canada
  • Leave a comment

3.5 stars

A youthful and nuanced exploration of teenage sexual identity and emotional intimacy that freshly tries to skip past clichés.

Hereditary (2018)

  • Others
  • 2018, Ari Aster, USA
  • 1 Comment

3 stars

Not even Toni Collette’s arresting performance or the film’s excellent craftsmanship can save this rather uncompelling and overrated horror-mystery.

Pluto Moment, The (2018)

  • Others
  • 2018, China
  • Leave a comment

4 stars

6th Generation Chinese filmmaker Zhang Ming tackles modern loneliness and ennui with quiet artistry in this remarkable drama about a film crew trying to make a picture but becomes lost (in all senses of the word) in the process.

Zen in the Ice Rift (2018)

  • Others
  • 2018, Italy
  • Leave a comment

3.5 stars

Capturing teenage angst and emotional uncertainties with aplomb, this under-the-radar Italian LGBT film is easy-going and will appeal to the wider audience.
