Back to Black (2024) 35% EDIT “This is a film that chooses to be mostly unconcerned with the devils that plagued Amy. As such it places her voice amongst the heavens without really depicting the hell she went through at times.” – Film Ireland Magazine Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Marriage Story (2019) 95% EDIT “The film falls into the trap of often mistaking arguments for drama... That said, here is a list of some of the film's many attributes. It's raw, honest, heartfelt, compassionate, sensitive, tender, touching, witty and charming.” – Film Ireland Magazine Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) 85% EDIT “Like the savvy reboot of Peter Rabbit before it, here lies a clever and cheeky live action aging up of a cartoon that moves Dora from pre-school appeal to something a lot more universal.” – Film Ireland Magazine Aug 22, 2019 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% EDIT “This handsome, thoughtful film is no jingoistic or romanticised account.” – Film Ireland Magazine Oct 12, 2018 Full Review A Simple Favor (2018) 84% EDIT “It garners lots of laughs but wow - it feels like a heavy dash of hard alcohol in a mocktail.” – Film Ireland Magazine Oct 5, 2018 Full Review Mindhorn (2016) 92% EDIT “This is a bravely unflattering and deft performance by Barratt, who injects a delicate balance of resilience, sadness and resentment into Thorncroft while still making us root for him as the ignominies mount up.” – Film Ireland Magazine May 11, 2017 Full Review Hail, Caesar! (2016) 86% EDIT “Even by Saturday night multiplex standards, the whole thing starts to feel frightfully slight. Amiable performances alone aren't enough.” – Film Ireland Magazine Jan 3, 2017 Full Review I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) 93% EDIT “What an unexpected and enjoyably unpleasant surprise this film is.” – Film Ireland Magazine Dec 8, 2016 Full Review
