Review of Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 05 Aug 2018

This is busy stuff, full of knowing references to wider DC lore, and should please superhero nerds both big and small…

Review of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 19 Jul 2018

In fact, if you're not even slightly won over by its good humour and innocence, you might want to check your pulse. You could be dead…

Review of Marrowbone (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Jul 2018

Sergio G Sanchez's film shares the mood and visual aesthetic of other Spanish-directed horrors...and the creaky old house is as much a…

Review of Lost & Found (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 12 Jul 2018

Lost & Found rambles along aimlessly, sometimes sparking to life. But the link between its stories is tenuous and some are wildly implausible…

Review of Whitney (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 05 Jul 2018

Macdonald has managed to have his cake and eat it in the sense that he talks to Cissy and Bobby Brown and Whitney's brothers without…

Review of Mary Shelley (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 05 Jul 2018

Fanning seems stiff and miscast as the fearless Mary, and the portrayals of Shelley and Byron are frankly ridiculous…

Review of Leave No Trace (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 01 Jul 2018

Leave No Trace asks all sorts of interesting questions about the nature of society and the rights of the individual versus the supposed…

Review of Adrift (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 01 Jul 2018

Adrift is a little bit slushy during the couple's courtship, but really comes into its own once the weather turns bad…

Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 28 Jun 2018

Day of the Soldado looks like a shallow imitation of the original, and feels like a film in the midst of a profound identity crisis…

Review of Dublin Oldschool (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 28 Jun 2018

Tynan's film is laden down with aimless chatter, and its plot meanders drearily towards a country rave that seems curiously old-fashioned,…

Review of The Happy Prince (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 21 Jun 2018

The Happy Prince is surprisingly uncinematic, and even the light and colour of southern Italy are not capitalised on by Everett's direction…

Review of Ocean's Eight (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 17 Jun 2018

It is, though, perfectly enjoyable, and seems to suggest that women are much better team players than men, less likely to become distracted…

Review of Hereditary (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 17 Jun 2018

[Ari Aster] is too clever for his own good, and late on discards his duty to his story and characters in favour of shocks and effects that…

Review of Studio 54 (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 17 Jun 2018

Studio 54 only lasted 33 months but would become the stuff of legend, and Matt Tyraneur's documentary tells the club's story wonderfully well…

Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Jun 2018

While Fallen Kingdom gets a little too frantic and busy for its own good late on, it's a worthy addition to the franchise and will surely…

Review of McQueen (2018)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Jun 2018

The footage of his shows is breathtaking and one is struck again by his chutzpah, daring and sheer originality…

Review of All the Wild Horses (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 07 Jun 2018

Collisions, broken limbs, punctured lungs, mortally wounded horses - it's all part of the fun, and there's always the chance that your nag…

Review of My Friend Dahmer (2017)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 31 May 2018

The restraint with which Meyers handles his story deepens it, adding melancholy layers to Jeffrey's morbid dysfunction…
