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.

Thelma (2017)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2017, Denmark, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • 2 Comments

Joachim Trier’s attempt at genre-type filmmaking doesn’t really break new ground in this straightforward Norwegian psychological drama centering on a young woman with hidden telekinetic powers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

A recovering drug addict leaves his rehabilitation centre for a day to visit his acquaintances in this restrained, melancholic if also warmly empathetic second feature by Joachim Trier.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Greengrass, Paul
  • 2018, Norway, Paul Greengrass
  • Leave a comment

This could be Paul Greengrass’ weakest picture in a long while—a less-than-invigorating work centering on the 2011 Norway terror attacks that struggles to get into any kind of momentum.

⭐⭐⭐
