I Saw the Light | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | Hiddleston's singing and playing is to be admired, but there is a dull two hour film wrapped around it. Even the inevitable tragic ending left me cold, and it doesn't take much to get me crying at films. What a shame. | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 8 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Inferno | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | Even by the relatively low bar of the previous two films, this one does fall short. I guess if you can say that the book was better, in this of all cases, than this really isn't a very good film. | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 8 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Knight of Cups | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | The film meanders along and it seems as if the protagonist doesn't change. His journey of self-discovery doesn't go anywhere. You're left feeling as if you've witnessed something beautiful but empty. Perhaps it is a critique of Hollywood after all. | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 8 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Lady Bird | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | There is something for all ages to identify with and you will find yourself torn between the generations, but ultimately feeling great affection for all of the characters. This film is a success because of the exceptional writing from Greta Gerwig. | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 16 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Love, Simon | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | On the one hand this is a blandly suburban middle-class mainstream film, but on the other, it has made an effort to have a diverse cast and of course, crucially, it is a major studio release tackling a young gay love story. It's also really enjoyable. | 8.5/10 | 10 | 8.5 | 10 | false | 15 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Mute | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | I see it as a positive that films like this can be released and they won't please everyone, but are at least experimental and interesting. I would encourage people to give it a chance, particularly if you have enjoyed modern-day twists on noir. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Okja | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | Although I really liked 'Okja', it did get a little too sentimental and manipulative for my tastes. Visually, it is a huge treat and the central performance by Seo Hyun is exceptional. I'm a proponent of this type of bold, risk-taking film-making. | 8.5/10 | 10 | 8.5 | 10 | false | 15 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Pete's Dragon | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | I found this to be a magical film, with endearing central characters. It held the attention of my 6 yr old throughout and I was more of an emotional wreck than he was. Recommended for adults and kids alike; if you want to be left with a warm glow. | 7.5/10 | 10 | 7.5 | 10 | false | 13 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Professor Marston & The Wonder Women | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | This film must be praised for its mostly positive depiction of a polyamorous relationship and for exploring unknown aspects of Wonder Woman. The costumes, hair and make up and the acting are exemplary. It makes a great companion piece to the Jenkins film. | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 14 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Rough Night | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | I was pleasantly surprised by this film and I ended up laughing a lot more than I thought I would. With great cameos from Ty Burrell and Demi Moore, this was an enjoyable experience. I recommend for groups of girls who want to have a fun night out. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Stronger | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | Not a terrible film, but not a particularly amazing or memorable one either. It is definitely saved by its performances and occasional interesting cinematography/editing. A solid addition to a genre of film that I generally do not like. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 12 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Sully | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | Hanks will always be able to lure me to the box office, with his humanity, humility and humour. Eastwood as director, on the other hand, must do better. This film is hampered by odd choices, which left me frustrated and ultimately cringing. | 6.5/10 | 10 | 6.5 | 10 | false | 11 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
The Big Sick | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | In some ways this love story feels old-fashioned - but it is also modern, by touching on Islamophobia. Nanjiani playing himself provides integrity and while there is high drama or perfect comedic timing at times, it is character-driven at its core. | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 14 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
The Circle | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | Unfortunately, this film will prove largely forgettable. It has botched what could have been interesting concept with convoluted plotting, ridiculous character development and melodramatic dialogue. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 6 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
The Edge of Seventeen | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | The film has a zingy script and fantastic performances from all of the acting talent involved. Still only 19, Steinfeld is now building on the promise of her Oscar-nominated turn in 'True Grit.' It's exciting to discover a fresh female voice in film. | 8.5/10 | 10 | 8.5 | 10 | false | 15 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
The Huntsman: Winter's War | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | This film is perfectly entertaining enough to while away an evening, if you are into the fantasy genre. It also stands for something more important than the sum of its parts - that THREE fantastic actresses can dominate a blockbuster movie. | 6.5/10 | 10 | 6.5 | 10 | false | 11 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
The Legend of Tarzan | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | The climax is hilariously ridiculous, but I found the film, as a whole, enjoyable and entertaining. | 7.5/10 | 10 | 7.5 | 10 | false | 13 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
The Mountain Between Us | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | Beautiful people, beautiful scenery. It's hard to screw that up. But they really did. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 6 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Their Finest | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | A lovely film about film-making and women's changing roles during WWII, which is sure to melt the most cynical of hearts. I certainly had something in my eye at more than one point. | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 14 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | I think I can sum this film up by saying; The Visuals = Good Bonkers, The Plot = Bad Bonkers. Believe me, it's all bonkers. It is garishly multi-coloured bobbins on an insanely huge scale. It is mostly entertaining and the visual feast is worth it. | 6.5/10 | 10 | 6.5 | 10 | false | 11 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
When Marnie Was There | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | There is a pervading sense of melancholy in this film, but you cannot help but be swept up in its stunning beauty. It is a totally immersive experience, like dipping your head into a watercolour painting and swimming about in it for two hours. | 8.5/10 | 10 | 8.5 | 10 | false | 15 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Wonder Woman | JumpCut Online | Fiona Underhill | This film is full of 'fish-out-of-water' humour which comes from a demi-god negotiating the world of men. It is also visually stunning and the action scenes are thrilling - coupling the world of superheroes with WWI works surprisingly well. | 8.5/10 | 10 | 8.5 | 10 | false | 15 | 19 | 2 | 1,710 |
Mulholland Drive | Junkee | Simon Miraudo | Mulholland Drive is maddeningly abstract and inscrutable on first viewing, but hypnotic and haunting on every viewing after. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 1,711 |

American Sniper | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | For all the talk of American Sniper's pro-war ideology, the most troubling aspect I felt was that the film doesn't appear to have an ideology at all. | C- | long_letter | null | null | false | 9 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | [Much] of the action... is a dog's breakfast of discombobulating editing. The film's final passages are such an aggressively hard to watch collision of excessive CGI and murky colour palate that it's hard to make heads or tails of most of it. | C+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 11 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Call Me by Your Name | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Yes, a lot of these elements can be universal, but it seems undeniable to me that a gay audience will bring something altogether unique to their viewing of such a film. | B+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 14 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Carol | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Carol is essential. It's the work of a premiere filmmaker whose talents only continue to grow. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Certain Women | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | [Kelly Reichardt's] look at the idiosyncratic relationships formed by those in this isolated region of the country is something that is rarely seen on screen. | B+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 14 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Deathgasm | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | [U]ltimately becomes a sad display of incessant bro comedy full of lazy writing. It mines for cheap giggles at gory sight-gags... | D+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 8 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Do I Sound Gay? | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | [G]ay male audiences especially may find a lot to take from this entertaining documentary. That's if they can get over their fears to watch it in the first place. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Ghostbusters | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | I found myself on the comedic wavelength of this new cast and giggling like mad throughout the majority of its runtime. | B+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 14 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |

Independence Day: Resurgence | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Independence Day: Resurgence is a wildly silly movie full of nonsensical logic, terrible exposition dialogue, and convoluted gobbledygook science. It also doesn't matter one bit, because this sequel to the 1996 blockbuster is a whole lot of fun. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Inherent Vice | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | [D]oesn't necessarily make for a good way to spend almost three hours of your day. Inherent Vice is ultimately akin to listening to a stoner tell a long, complicated story while you're staying clean. | C- | long_letter | null | null | false | 9 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Iris | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | It's hardly the most provocative documentary in the festival line-up, but it's such a delightfully fizzy one that it should be the perfect tonic after a long festival... | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |

Maleficent | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | As a film it is pretty bad: narratively confused, chock full of ugly visual effects, and populated with actors like Sharlto Copley and Elle Fanning, who are given little to do but walk around amongst green screens, looking lost. | D+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 8 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Mommy | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Recalling Andrea Arnold's similarly angst-ridden teen drama Fish Tank (2009), Mommy blazes across the screen thanks to Dolan's impeccable taste in pop music soundtracks and visual compositions. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Moonlight | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | We've seen movies and television about this sort of man before, and one of Moonlight's strongest assets is the way it refines this character type, subverting the narrative. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Oasis: Supersonic | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Using only archival footage and narration from those in and around the band, it chronicles Oasis' story in an entertaining fashion that doesn't shy away from the Gallagher brothers' brash and egotistical personalities. | B- | long_letter | null | null | false | 12 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Split | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | While individual scenes are occasionally thrilling in the moment, they don't hold much weight, and it ends with a whimper that suggests the director [...] hadn't really thought much beyond its admittedly nifty high-concept premise. | C | long_letter | null | null | false | 10 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Swinging Safari | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | It's vulgar and absurdly over-the-top. It's also really funny and a surprisingly refreshing summer tonic during Oscar season... | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Tangerine | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | At once both a radically high-octane slice of ingenious guerrilla filmmaking and also wonderfully simple, Tangerine is like a bolt of electricity that charges through the cinema and sets its audience on fire from sheer originality and foulmouthed bravado. | A- | long_letter | null | null | false | 15 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
The Bling Ring | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Coppola's unflinching portrayal is social commentary disguised as teen fantasy, superbly photographed by the late Harris Savides and with pitch perfect acting, especially from Harry Potter alumnus Emma Watson. | A- | long_letter | null | null | false | 15 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
The Look of Silence | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | It's absolutely devastating, as one would expect, but also a more appropriate elegiac than its predecessor. Any film with this many anonymous credits at the end has to ruffle some feathers. | A- | long_letter | null | null | false | 15 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
The Missing Picture | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | simply one of the finest documentaries I have ever seen ... This is an important, vital piece of filmmaking, and one that takes the artform to a new and altogether fascinating place. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
The Revenant | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | It's three hours of muddy, gruesome machismo dialled up to eleven and drowning in indecipherable grunts and growls, without anything to justify its existence beyond winning Leonardo DiCaprio an Academy Award. | C | long_letter | null | null | false | 10 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
The Russian Woodpecker | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | It'd be hard to believe if it wasn't so convincing and that makes the film a definite must-see. | B+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 14 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |

Tusk | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Is Kevin Smith's Tusk the worst movie of the year? Yes. I mean, probably. ... none have made me quite as angrily resentful of a filmmaker as this one did. | F | long_letter | null | null | false | 1 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |

Weiner | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Naturally, like all good attention-seeking egomaniacs with delusions of grandeur and infallibility, he had a camera crew following his every move.

X-Men: Apocalypse | Junkee | Glenn Dunks | Despite this large cast of appealing actors, very little has been done to allow audiences to relate to these 'mutants'. Instead, the film relies on the kind of whiz-bang destruction... | C | long_letter | null | null | false | 10 | 18 | 1 | 1,712 |
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (AVP 2) | JurgenFauth.com | Jurgen Fauth | Too underlit to qualify as splatter, too bloodless to qualify as fun, too unaware of its own idiocy to be enjoyed Grindhouse-style, AvP:R is a real education in the finer stratifications of badness. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 5 | 1 | 1,713 |
All Day and a Night | Just My Opinion Reviews | Brandon Avery | All Day and A Night shows the endless cycle of what a system of racism/white supremacy does directly and indirectly to Black Americans. Wanted more, but it was decent enough. | 6.5/10 | 10 | 6.5 | 10 | false | 11 | 19 | 2 | 1,714 |

Antebellum | KKFI-FM (Kansas City) | Russ Simmons | This well acted but enigmatic film doesn't make much sense until the final scenes when the film starts to look like a project that M. Night Shyamalan might have started...and rejected. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 1 | 5 | 1 | 1,715 |
