Mrs. Lowry & Son (2019) 60% 2/5 “As impressive as Spall and Redgrave are, however, both individually and when in the throes of a heated wrangle of power and emotion, it's not quite enough to carry a whole film.” – CineVue Jul 2, 2019 Full Review Synonymes (2018) 87% 4/5 “As a film about assimilation, however, Synonyms truly succeeds.” – CineVue Jul 2, 2019 Full Review Astronaut (2019) 67% 3/5 “Astronaut is a sweet film that could have done with more fire under its belly earlier on.” – CineVue Jul 2, 2019 Full Review End of Sentence (2019) 91% 3/5 “Predominantly set against the backdrop of Ireland, this drama treads a familiar path, and yet still manages to engage with its assured performances and winning balance of heart and humor.” – CineVue Jul 2, 2019 Full Review Skin (2018) 76% 4/5 “Skin is a powerful, harrowing and deeply disturbing drama that excels with Bell at its fore. His performance is the kind that comes along to rarely.” – CineVue Jun 28, 2019 Full Review Schemers (2019) 43% 3/5 “Schemers is a charming low-budget slice of life that does what it set out to do -- and with an abundance of charm at that.” – CineVue Jun 26, 2019 Full Review Get Duked! (2019) 88% 3/5 “Set in the Scottish Highlands, this inspired mashup of comedy, thriller and social satire is an unexpected delight that really comes alive in its second half.” – CineVue Jun 26, 2019 Full Review Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) 68% 3/5 “Sure, Detective Pikachu is messy and predictable, but the fact that director Rob Letterman and his team embrace the inherent absurdity of the Pokémon franchise as a whole means it's a hoot.” – CineVue May 9, 2019 Full Review The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) 84% 4/5 “It may not be what everyone expects from a sequel to The Lego Movie, but in some ways that's the best thing about The Lego Movie 2. It presents something different, wrapped in a familiar outer core.” – CineVue Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) 88% 4/5 “The real success to Ralph Breaks the Internet is how, while having the most amount of fun possible, it's also able to be cleverly subversive and deeply rooted in its themes of friendship, and all the ups and downs that follow.” – CineVue Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Sleep Tight (2011) 91% 4/5 “A masterclass in suspense that's likely to send shudders down its baying audiences' spines.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review The Big Wedding (2013) 6% 1/5 “An all-star cast fall victim to a shallow, tasteless script.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review The Road: A Story of Life and Death (2013) 88% 3/5 “It includes some harrowing, touching and eye-opening material, shot carefully by Isaac and boasting an entirely complimentary, if slightly maudlin soundtrack composed by Lance Hogan.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Tiny Furniture (2010) 80% 4/5 “Through Dunham's spot-on, methodical compositions, each and every interaction between characters, each sly glance and body movement represent the varying characters' personalities and attitudes more than dialogue ever could.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Lovely Molly (2011) 46% 3/5 “Lovely Molly is an effective, yet unexceptional and shortchanging entry into the horror field.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review The Raid: Redemption (2011) 87% 5/5 “Hits hard due to its no-holds-barred coercion, unfaltering intensity and desire to do what most action films don't: surprise its audience from the opening moments to the final fade to black.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Sister (2012) 97% 4/5 “The performances, both from Klein and Seydoux are nothing short of exceptional. Each in their own noteworthy ways manage to navigate the concentrated fashion of the screenplay in tremendous, deeply praiseworthy manner.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Dr. Seuss' the Lorax (2012) 53% 2/5 “While director Chris Renaud's experienced animation-orientated eye may account for some of its successes, the final product ends up being detrimental to a beloved story, and is at best only intermittently engaging.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Either Way (2011) 3.5/5 “The performances delivered by Gunnarsson and Guðjónsson do wonders to create some particularly noteworthy moments of humour and heartache and its 1980's setting allows for a level of benevolence most films are lacking.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Fred Won't Move Out (2012) 71% 3/5 “A warm-hearted, tender portrait that avoids artifice.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Brake (2012) 46% 1.5/5 “As predictable and uninspired as thrillers come, falling foul to all kinds of clichés and the overdone tropes that reflect a formula that has become almost entirely redundant of spontaneity and notability.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Future My Love (2012) 63% 4/5 “It's always presented in a personal way that ensures it's as much understandable as it is thought-provoking.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review God Bless America (2011) 66% 2/5 “It's simply a rant stretched over an extended running time, lacking in characterisations, direction and audience repayment - aside from a few mild chuckles.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review First Position (2011) 93% 4/5 “First Position may be too slight, too sincere and too plain faced to truly invest in. But for those in need of something that bestows a voice both unto children with a clear focus and passion, it succeeds.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review V/H/S (2012) 56% 4/5 “V/H/S not only features some of the most imaginative horror films of our time, but also manages to present these as a collection that continuously defies out expectations and leaves us begging for more.” – HeyUGuys Aug 14, 2018 Full Review
