Movie reviews of Garry Arnot

Achieves shockingly smart satire as well as shuddering trepidation... Review

Frenzied, frenetic and full mouthed in the best possible way. Review

Oldroyd’s uses his experience to spin a boldly beguiling twist on the historical drama genre... Review

Has a fascinating character study at its abnormal heart, but traps Maureen in tiresome non-thriller of a tale. Review

Undeniably daring cinema, with adventurous director Jenkins presenting a conventional coming-out, coming-of-age story... Review

Playfully continues the slab-saga with child-like energy, style and dashes of underlying substance... Review

Despite its flaws, it succeeds in bringing the relatively unknown story to our attention... Review

The conversations are both poppy and corny... Review

Tells a heartrending story with maximum impact. Review

John Michael McDonagh is a terrific writer and injects his sadistic sense of humour into a sub-genre that it has become difficult to find originality in. Review

Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman impressively refrain from overdoing the sentimentality, delivering knockout performances... Review

The fractured friendships of the foursome are fascinating to see again. Review

A solid and worthwhile page-to-screen adaptation, but relies on its strong central performance from Emily Blunt... Review

The passion within the brilliantly joyous project is palpable both in front of and behind the camera... Review

Enough vim and vigour in the visuals and directorial prowess to carry the story through to the bitter end. Review

Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence have the quality and presence to ride the narrative wobbles... Review
