Matrix, The (1999)

  • Popular
  • 1999, Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, USA
  • 12 Comments

A landmark โ€˜90s sci-fi masterpiece with that rare combo of style and substanceโ€”two decades later, it loses none of its sobering philosophical inquiry.

The great Jacques Audiardโ€™s first English-language film entertains with strong performances by Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly, tackling the Western genre with rare wit and verve.

Stoker (2013)

  • Park, Chan-wook
  • 2013, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

A disappointing effort by Korean auteur Park Chan-wook – an unfortunate case of too much style and too little substance.

Dementia 13 (1963)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 1963, Francis Ford Coppola, USA
  • 1 Comment

An early horror B-movie by Coppola, produced by Roger Corman, with effective mood-setting but an undercooked story.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2017, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 7 Comments

It doesnโ€™t quite top the religious experience that is the 1982 film, but Denis Villeneuve and DP Roger Deakins have created a visually and thematically expansive arthouse blockbuster that deepens the mythology of its universe.

Arrival (2016)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2016, Denis Villeneuve, USA

You are in the hands of a consummate filmmaker bringing both science-fiction and humanistic elements seamlessly together in a film that is one of 2016โ€™s finest.

Sicario (2015)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2015, Denis Villeneuve, Mexico, USA
  • 3 Comments

Villeneuveโ€™s film builds suspense like a worker laying bricks โ€“ slowly but surely, giving us a largely solid Mexican cartel infiltration thriller that packs a strong punch. ย

Prisoners (2013)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2013, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 11 Comments

Denis Villeneuve’s assured direction and Roger Deakins’ evocative cinematography elevates this seemingly generic suburban mystery-thriller into something that will shock and haunt you.

Soul (2020)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2020, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • 6 Comments

It doesnโ€™t always cohere with a creative concept that sometimes overreaches, but this is Pixar at its most existential, exploring the meaning of life at the crossroads of passion, purpose and living.

One of the very, very best in the Pixar canon, and that’s saying something.
