Here's what our critics had to say about recent releases:
Spring Breakers
Peter Bradshaw said: Spring Breakers is [Harmony] Korine's most technically competent and fluent movie … Korine has given us a violent pulp true romance … a preselected, pre-auditioned representation of youth and beauty … There is an undeniable directorial strut in Spring Breakers. Where, precisely, he is strutting to is another question. read more
A Late Quartet
Philip French said: A subtle, intelligent picture with a suitably resonant title, it quietly observes the internal dynamics of the Fugue String Quartet, an internationally acclaimed musical group founded and based in New York that has been playing around the world for 25 years … Their unity is expressed in the music … but all this is to be disrupted, the quartet challenged both singly and as a group … A movie with clarity and grownup complexity. read more
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Peter Bradshaw said: Somewhere in the dark heartland of America there is a great yearning for these quirky-icky fables … Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton play Cindy and Jim Green, a couple longing for kids, but infertile … There is something so glutinous, infantile and regressive about this film. read more
Papadopoulos & Sons
Philip French said: Written and directed by a Greek Cypriot, this flat, feelgood family story transposes the cliches of Zorba the Greek to the present day. read more
Thursday Till Sunday
Philip French said: This promising debut is a deceptively uneventful Chilean road movie in which the break-up of a middle-class marriage is seen through the eyes of the sensitive 10-year-old Lucía as she accompanies her parents and seven-year-old brother on a long weekend drive north from Santiago. read more
Yurt (Home)
Peter Bradshaw said: An architect, suffering pangs of ill-health on a camping holiday that almost amounts to a breakdown, seeks solace by revisiting the countryside of his childhood, but he is – predictably – disturbed to find that it is changing, and his unease is greater than ever … An exercise in technique – but not much else. read more
