Wonderstruck (2017)

  • Haynes, Todd
  • 2017, Todd Haynes, USA
  • Leave a comment

A languidly-paced work that has a great concept exploring human connections across time, with some moments of sublime filmmaking, but Haynesโ€™ overall grasp of tone and thematic intent is a letdown.

Certain Women (2016)

  • Criterion Collection, Reichardt, Kelly
  • 2016, Kelly Reichardt, USA
  • 3 Comments

A triptych of stories of ordinary women in Montana, whose vulnerabilities and desires are given the quiet Kelly Reichardt touch in this slow and contemplative work.

Dark Knight Rises, The (2012)

  • Nolan, Christopher, Popular
  • 2012, Christopher Nolan, USA
  • 3 Comments

Despite being the ‘weakest’ installment of Nolan’s ‘Batman’ trilogy, you won’t see a more epic and satisfying finale than this.

Dark Knight, The (2008)

  • Nolan, Christopher, Popular
  • 2008, Christopher Nolan, USA
  • 5 Comments

Still the most accomplished superhero movie of the 21st century – a thrilling, endlessly fascinating treatise on good versus evil, and everything in between.

Batman Begins (2005)

  • Nolan, Christopher, Popular
  • 2005, Christopher Nolan, USA
  • 4 Comments

Perhaps the deepest film, philosophically speaking, of the trilogy, as Nolan delivers a compelling entertainer that asks not who but what Batman is.

Little Women (1994)

  • Others
  • 1994, Canada, Gillian Armstrong, USA
  • 1 Comment

This โ€˜90s adaptation of Louisa May Alcottโ€™s famous novel may be traditionally told, but it is perfectly cast and remains possibly the most endearing of them all.

Trial of the Chicago 7, The (2020)

  • Others
  • 2020, Aaron Sorkin, USA
  • 5 Comments

Sorkinโ€™s a reliable screenwriter but lacks an imaginative cinematic eye as a director, and it shows in this uneven, and at times, stilted dramatisation of a key case in 20th-century US legal history.

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Molly’s Game (2017)

  • Others
  • 2017, Aaron Sorkin, USA
  • 1 Comment

Aaron Sorkinโ€™s directorial debut doesnโ€™t break new ground, but offers familiarity including his penchant for rapid-fire conversations that are delivered with gusto by Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba.

Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, A (2014)

  • Others
  • 2014, Ana Lily Amirpour, USA
  • Leave a comment

It frequently feels like a self-admiring work intoxicated with its own style and mood, but this chic arthouse vampire indie, shot in the Persian language, offers a taste of honey amid the spillage of blood.

Beach Rats (2017)

  • Hittman, Eliza
  • 2017, Eliza Hittman, USA
  • 2 Comments

Hittmanโ€™s second feature is a naturalistic, and at times, sensual work about a young man seeking self-discovery through experimentation with drugs and sex with older men.
