King of Comedy, The (1982)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 1982, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 4 Comments

De Niroโ€™s most wicked performance for a Scorsese picture, this is an incisively comical take on what happens when the determination to succeed in showbiz is taken to the extreme.

Behind the Candelabra (2013)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2013, Steven Soderbergh, USA

Brilliant performances by Michael Douglas and Matt Damon drive this lavishly-produced biopic on the famed pianist-entertainer Liberace.

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 2023, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 7 Comments

Scorseseโ€™s scathing work about the exploitation of the Osage tribe in the 1920s by conniving White men is both intimate and expansive at the same time, and so well-paced that it makes 3ยฝ hours feel like only two.

Goodfellas (1990)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 1990, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 19 Comments

Violent, intense, darkly comic and a tour de force experience, this is God-tier Scorsese and one of the greatest films about gangsters and organised crime ever made.

Zabriskie Point (1970)

  • Antonioni, Michelangelo
  • 1970, Michelangelo Antonioni, USA
  • Leave a comment

Tedious at times with an overbearing anti-Americanism, this was an experimental misstep by Antonioni who seemed to want to say a lot but achieved little in the process.

Past Lives (2023)

  • Others
  • 2023, South Korea, USA
  • 4 Comments

A confident debut feature as this poignant drama about two Korean childhood sweethearts who meet again as adults in New York will likely work the tearducts.

Asteroid City (2023)

  • Anderson, Wes
  • 2023, USA, Wes Anderson
  • Leave a comment

A more wistful film than usual by Anderson, who is back in fine form as we enter the world of a fictional play populated by a range of eccentric characters.

All About Eve (1950)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1950, USA
  • 2 Comments

Mankiewiczโ€™s enduring classic about the glamour of showbiz, warts and all, marked by loyal friendships and diabolical schemes, remains one of the wittiest and spriteliest of Classical Hollywood dramas.

Apollo 10ยฝ: A Space Age Childhood (2022)

  • Linklater, Richard
  • 2022, Richard Linklater, USA
  • Leave a comment

Thereโ€™s 1960s nostalgia overload in Linklaterโ€™s third animated feature, which is a mostly engaging take on the cultural phenomena surrounding the 1969 Moon landing, told through one boyโ€™s fantasy of becoming an astronaut.

Daughters of the Dust (1991)

  • Others
  • 1991, USA
  • 3 Comments

Itโ€™s hard to find a debut feature this dreamy and evocative, as Dash lends historical voice to her peopleโ€”the generations of Gullahs who lived on the South Carolina Sea Islands as they endured slavery and faced a modernising 20th century.
