London Film Festival

Listen Up Philip movie review (London Film Festival)

Tue, Oct 21, 2014
12 comments

A celebration of male arrogance that pretends to be a condemnation. Because who wouldn’t love to spend 108 minutes with an insufferable egotistical “genius”?

Fury movie review (London Film Festival)

A particularly ugly iteration of “war is hell”… and I mean that as a compliment. This is a film that is deeply unpleasant and near genius.

I wasn’t sure what sort of a draw Jon Stewart would be at the London Film Festival, but there was a huge mob at the press screening of his film.

Men, Women & Children movie review (London Film Festival)

Jason Reitman is way too young to have produced a work of such fuddy-duddy handwringing over These Kids (And Adults) Today and how we play with our e-toys.

Remember this name: Jack O’Connell. He is magnificent in one of the most remarkable portraits of soldiering in recent memory.

The Dead Lands movie review (London Film Festival)

Mon, Sep 29, 2014

A tediously clichéd, overblown, badly acted action flick full of bloody movie violence dressed up in Maori drag.
