Belfast (2021)

  • Others
  • 2021, Kenneth Branagh, UK
  • 13 Comments

It’s well-made, but underwhelmingly conventional and perhaps too prim and proper to suggest that it has any real interest in diving deeper into the dirty sociopolitics of the time, settling unfortunately for a more sanitised, autobiographical Oscar-baiting family picture.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Cry, the Beloved Country (1951)

  • Others
  • 1951, UK, Zoltan Korda
  • Leave a comment

It may sometimes feel protracted, but Korda’s bleak work about a black priest who tries to locate his estranged son in Johannesburg (shot on location) shows the fatalistic implications of apartheid at the personal level.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Baby Driver (2017)

  • Wright, Edgar
  • 2017, Edgar Wright, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

Edgar Wright’s engaging if offbeat heist film ticks like clockwork, and is accompanied by a terrific iPod playlist for a soundtrack.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

World’s End, The (2013)

  • Wright, Edgar
  • 2013, Edgar Wright, UK
  • 3 Comments

A meta-comedy that is conscious about its fun-ness, though not all of the gags hit the sweet spot in this final installment of Edgar Wright’s ‘Cornetto’ trilogy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Last Night in Soho (2021)

  • Wright, Edgar
  • 2021, Edgar Wright, UK
  • Leave a comment

Nightmares don’t get any more intense and slicker than in Edgar Wright’s latest genre-mashing effort—a fun, psychological thriller about a young woman who discovers that she can time-travel through her dreams.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Macbeth (2015)

  • Kurzel, Justin
  • 2015, France, Justin Kurzel, UK
  • 2 Comments

Feels modern in full-throttle blood-spurting style, yet also wholly in period with Shakespearean-speak – a violent, beautiful if occasionally emotionally distancing screen adaptation of the famous text.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Rescue, The (2021)

  • Others
  • 2021, Documentary, UK, USA
  • Leave a comment

The Oscar-winning directors of ‘Free Solo’ tackle with lucidity and suspense the incredible international rescue efforts of a group of Thai boys trapped deep in a flooded cave back in 2018.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Blithe Spirit (1945)

  • Criterion Collection, Lean, David
  • 1945, David Lean, UK
  • Leave a comment

Whimsicality meets witticism in this delightful supernatural comedy adapted by Lean from Noel Coward’s sensational record-breaking theatre hit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

American Honey (2016)

  • Arnold, Andrea
  • 2016, Andrea Arnold, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

There’s both a sense of energy and listlessness to the filmmaking, with a story or two waiting to pop out, but that never materializes through the course of this sprawling, ambitious road movie.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Last Duel, The (2021)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2021, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • 5 Comments

Truth is the weakest currency in Ridley Scott’s generally solid stab at a Rashomon-esque historical epic set in medieval France during the Hundred Years’ War. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
