Review of Adoration (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 02 Feb 2010

But when he turns from intellectual debate to the way human beings actually speak and behave, you might feel that he'd be better off…

Review of Edge of Darkness (1943)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 02 Feb 2010

Perforated with plot holes, and disastrously unsure of its tone, it starts steadily and sombrely, before switching to a hysterical parody…

Review of Adoration (1987)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 02 Feb 2010

But when he turns from intellectual debate to the way human beings actually speak and behave, you might feel that he'd be better off…

Review of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

This desperate sequel - sorry squeakquel - is such a blatant cash-in that the producers might as well have gone straight round to young…

Review of Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

Grant and Parker... are so boringly civil that there must have been a marriage guidance counsellor standing just out of shot…

Review of St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

This contrived sequel is an interminable, headache-inducing time-waster that never picks up any speed, weighed down as it is by far too…

Review of Nine (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

Apart from a touching ballad performed by Cotillard, as Day-Lewis's wronged wife, you could cut out any of them without affecting the…

Review of Sherlock Holmes (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

The franchise has got itself two cracking characters and one enticing setting. Now all it needs is a half-decent story to go with them…

Review of Dogging: A Love Story (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

The cast members have enough charm to make you wish you were seeing them in a film that didn't seem like such a terrible, terrible idea…

Review of Sherlock Holmes (2011)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

The franchise has got itself two cracking characters and one enticing setting. Now all it needs is a half-decent story to go with them…

Review of Post Grad (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

It's not a bad topic for a comedy, especially in the current economic climate, but the film-makers don't have the faintest idea what to do with it…

Review of Nowhere Boy (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 05 Jan 2010

There's certainly the material there for a challenging coming-of-age drama, but Nowhere Boy is no more than a typical celebrity biopic, the…

Review of The Informant (2008)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 27 Nov 2009

It's certainly a novel approach, but it stops the story engaging us either as an espionage thriller or as a comic caper…

Review of The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 27 Nov 2009

So tedious and stupid that it makes last year's Twilight seem like Nosferatu…

Review of The Informant! (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 27 Nov 2009

It's certainly a novel approach, but it stops the story engaging us either as an espionage thriller or as a comic caper…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 27 Nov 2009

Prestigious and serious-minded, but it's still nonsense…

Review of Coraline (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 12 May 2009

It's easy to admire the film's psychedelic surrealism and its marvellous design, but it's not a great deal of fun…

Review of Chéri (2009)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 12 May 2009

The film works best when it's being a comedy of bad manners…

Review of Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 10 Feb 2009

By the time Cruz appears, Vicky Cristina Barcelona has delivered on those initial good omens: it's Allen's best film in at least a decade…

Review of Blood Diamond (2006)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 28 Jan 2007

DiCaprio deserves his Oscar nomination for the breathtaking intensity of his performance…
