Last Flag Flying | Limelight | Lynden Barber | Linklater's visual sense has largely deserted him here... or maybe it's just the damp weather blanketing most scenes. But the lead performances are exemplary and the emotional landscape they traverse is far from grey. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |

Military Wives | Limelight | Lynden Barber | Despite the formula guiding the narrative, it's hard not to divine a sense of duty to the real-life characters, which gives the women and their dilemmas a vivid presence on screen. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |

Sorry to Bother You | Limelight | Lynden Barber | It's not an easy watch, but it is memorable and compelling -- the rare film that comments on the peculiar details of a historical moment while we are still going through it and makes all too clear sense of it. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |
Thanks For Sharing | Limelight | Alice Tynan | Blumberg and his cast lift the slogan-heavy vocabulary of group therapy above stultifying clich, and instead craft an engaging portrait of support and companionship. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |
The Death of Stalin | Limelight | Lynden Barber | The film manages to be both scabrously funny and bone chilling as it nails Stalinism's absurdity and inhumanity. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |
The Old Man & the Gun | Limelight | Lynden Barber | Matching Redford for charm is Sissy Spacek as his love interest, the horse ranch-owning widow he 'helps' by the side of the road while trying to elude the cops on his tail. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |

The Trip to Spain | Limelight | Lynden Barber | I've no idea how the real Bryden and Coogan measure up against their fictional personae, but they paint a convincing picture of the former's happily married underdog vs Coogan's more egotistical, cynical playboy. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri | Limelight | Lynden Barber | While the film certainly has its fair spray of black comedy, not all of it that amusing, it turns out, to its benefit, to be far more morally layered, unpredictable and thoughtful than its marketing campaign suggests. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,763 |
