Matthew Goode

We hope we’re not going to piss off the fans...to flesh out a few things in Adrian Veidt’s past...he has a kind of private, now, and a public persona...And may or may not have American and German accents.

Amounts to little more than an austere and extremely prolonged episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

One of the most enjoyable films of the year to date, Scott Frank's The Lookout has all the good points and none of the bad of a screenwriter-turned-director labor of love.

No classic, but it does hold interest, in part by dealing honestly with the intriguing religious themes and in part for its fine cast.

Any film that depicts a 'superheroic' rapist-brute as a self-styled parody of America's 'true face' can hardly be accused of thematic squeamishness, and any film that sends readers back to the comic for Moore (and Gibbons) has served the public interest.

A patient and never less than gripping character study that serves as a reminder of the emotional intimacy achievable on film.

A humble riff on the well-worn coming-of-age film.

Park’s skills for surreal subjectivity and the mischievously weird certainly don’t hurt, but they can’t quite banish Stoker’s narrative speed bumps and draughts of cold air...

Serviceably dramatizes an important historical story while giving rising star Cumberbatch suitably juicy material.

It’s a story worth shining a light on, Gun a hero deserving of a movie-star moment. And yet this docudrama struggles to give feature-length narrative shape to the story in a way that brings it to vibrant dramatic life. 

Forgive me for suggesting that Conservative peer Fellowes—or, as he’s sometimes known, Julian Alexander Kitchener-Fellowes, Baron Fellowes of West Stafford DL—might consider Downton the cake he’s letting us eat.
