Alien

In the wake of the huge commercial success of Alien, almost all attention has perversely focused on the provenance of the script (was it a rip-off of It, the Terror from Beyond Space? Of Van Vogt's fiction? Was former John Carpenter collaborator Dan...

Before Snowfall (For Snoen Faller)

Shot in four different countries, this ambitious debut from director Hisham Zaman is a memorable achievement. Unfolding a coming of age drama, this beautifully crafted "road movie" explores the oppressive power and weight of cultural tradition. In a...

Dallas Buyers Club

Rating: 4/5

It’s getting difficult (enjoyably so) to keep track of the many shades of life Matthew McConaughey is hell-bent on exploring these days. Conveniently – and a touch calculatingly – they’re all on display in the stirring ‘Dallas Buyers Club’, a one-sto...

12 Years a Slave

Rating: 5/5

With the release of ‘Django Unchained’ and now this more restrained slavery-era biopic, much has been made of America’s post-Obama willingness to ‘face up to its own past’. But, like Quentin Tarantino before him, British artist turned director Steve...

The Lego Movie

With one obvious exception, toy stories do not have the luckiest big-screen pedigree: the results are often either sugary cartoons for undemanding kids or noisy blockbusters for brain-dead teens. If the producers of ‘The LEGO Movie’ had taken either...

Nymphomaniac: Part One

Rating: 4/5

Lars Von Trier’s wild, sprawling ‘Nymphomaniac’ is an orgy of the sublime and the ridiculous. It exists in two versions of differing lengths and explicitness. This is the first episode of a shorter, cleaner version (still, it’s unlikely to play in Du...

Nymphomaniac: Part Two

Only Lovers Left Alive

Rating: 3/5

Jim Jarmusch's smacked-out vampire movie 'Only Lovers Left Alive' starts with a close-up of a seven-inch single spinning on a turntable. Which is apt, as this slim, dreamy film demands that you kick back and slip into its slow, deadpan groove if it's...

Stranger By the Lake

The Book Thief

Rating: 2/5

Narrated by Death himself (solemn-voiced Roger Allam) but, alas, not adapted by him, this sumptuous, faintly unrealistic version of Markus Zusak’s best-seller bypasses wartime horror at every juncture. Angelic orphan Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) arrives i...

Dr Strangelove: or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
