Alex Garland’s directorial debut is arguably the year’s most thought-provoking science-fiction film – polished, compelling and intelligent.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gravity (2013)

  • Cuaron, Alfonso
  • 2013, Alfonso Cuaron, UK, USA
  • 6 Comments

The vision and genius that director Cuaron and cinematographer Lubezki bring to the table is sensational, creating one of the best space movies ever, even if it is light on narrative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Children of Men (2006)

  • Cuaron, Alfonso
  • 2006, Alfonso Cuaron, UK, USA
  • 6 Comments

Alfonso Cuaron’s masterwork is one of the great dystopian movies of our time, unfortunately underseen and underappreciated by many.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

  • Boyle, Danny
  • 2008, Danny Boyle, UK
  • 8 Comments

One of Boyle’s finest works in terms of craftsmanship and storytelling, and also a sensational (in both good and bad ways) and exceptionally entertaining film.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

28 Days Later… (2002)

  • Boyle, Danny
  • 2002, Danny Boyle, UK
  • 5 Comments

Fresh yet derivative, the offbeat quality of Boyle’s ‘zombie’ film pulls it through.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

127 Hours (2010)

  • Boyle, Danny
  • 2010, Danny Boyle, UK
  • 1 Comment

Not for the faint-of-heart, but Boyle mostly succeeds in taking a true story with the thinnest plot and making it fairly exciting.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

They Shall Not Grow Old (2018)

  • Jackson, Peter
  • 2018, Documentary, New Zealand, Peter Jackson, UK
  • Leave a comment

Conceptually and technologically, it is breathtaking to behold, but the experience of seeing it is at best ambivalent, and at worst problematic.

⭐⭐⭐

Sunshine (2007)

  • Boyle, Danny
  • 2007, Danny Boyle, UK
  • Leave a comment

Despite a poor third act, Boyle’s sci-fi-thriller manages to work out in some way.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trance (2013)

  • Boyle, Danny
  • 2013, Danny Boyle, UK
  • Leave a comment

Boyle’s latest might just be too trippy and heady for mainstream audiences, but it is an assured effort that will bound to get people talking.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
