How To Change The World
★★★★★, Canada, documentarySeptember 9, 2015

How To Change The World (2015)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★★
Jerry Rothwell’s inspirational documentary How To Change The World explores the birth of Greenpeace and the tumultuous sea-change it sparked in environmentalism.

Manglehorn
★★★★, USAAugust 7, 2015

Manglehorn (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
David Gordon Green’s Manglehorn is a surreal and painfully accurate portrayal of isolation that features the most essential Pacino performance in over a decade.

Camp Evil
★★, Belgium, horrorAugust 2, 2015

Cub / Welp (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★☆☆☆
In Jonas Govaerts’ Cub, solid filmmaking and worthy performances fold under the excessive weight of tropes and contrivances in this full-on descent into torture porn.

Song Of The Sea
★★★★, animation, IrelandJuly 10, 2015

Song Of The Sea (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
Beautiful, magical and affecting, Tomm Moore’s Song Of The Sea is a touchstone for the continued importance of mythology and traditional animation.

Read More
Les Combattants
★★, FranceJune 20, 2015

Les Combattants (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★☆☆☆
Apart from an engaging performance from Adèle Haenel, Les Combattants is a listless love story that never quite gets its feet off the ground.

Spring
★★★★, horror, Italy, UKMay 22, 2015

Spring (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
An intoxicating alchemy of Shelly and Linklater, Spring is a romantic cross-genre creature feature that is chilling, bold and beautiful.

Read More
Bande de Filles
★★★★, Female Filmmakers, FranceMay 8, 2015

Girlhood / Bande de Filles (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
Set to a pulse-pounding soundtrack, Céline Sciamma’s Girlhood encapsulates the careless, giddy energy of teendom.

Read More
The Salvation
★★, Denmark, westernApril 17, 2015

The Salvation (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★☆☆☆
A Danish Western with the magnetic Mads Mikkelsen, Kristian Levring’s The Salvation is gorgeous to look at but as hollow as a Ten-gallon hat.

While We're Young
★★★, comedy, USAApril 3, 2015

While We’re Young (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★☆☆
With While We’re Young Noah Baumbach hits you with everything and the kitschen sink in this incisive, funny but often distractingly clichéd comedy about the passage of time and the illusion of youth.

Read More
Altman
★★, documentary, USAApril 3, 2015

Altman (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★☆☆☆
Ron Mann’sAltman is a stoic by-the-numbers documentary celebrating the films of the great director, but offering little insight into the man behind the lens.

Wild Tales
★★★★, ArgentinaMarch 27, 2015

Wild Tales / Relatos Salvajes (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
Crazy, caustic, and ingeniously clever, Damián Szifrón’s Wild Tales is an excellent Argentine selection box of intricate short stories.

Read More
White God
★★★★, Hungary, London Film Festival 2014February 27, 2015

White God / Fehér isten (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
Fierce and unflinchingly brutal, Kornél Mundruczó’s White God is an unsettling Hungarian allegory brimming with passion, imagination and socio-political resonance.

Read More
The Duke Of Burgundy
★★★★, queer, UKFebruary 20, 2015

The Duke Of Burgundy (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
Evoking Lynch, Polanski and Buñuel, The Duke of Burgundy is a boldly unique film from an exciting British filmmaker; it’s quite mad, quite funny, and quite brilliant.

Kumiko The Treasure Hunter
★★★★, Japan, USAFebruary 20, 2015

Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter (2014)

By Dave O'Flanagan

★★★★☆
With a delicate, mesmerising performance from Rinko Kikuchi, Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter is a darkly comic tale of misadventure – tragic, odd and uplifting.
