Whatever it is, it is certainly not bland or monochrome.

Foy gives a brave, honest performance …

… a well-constructed cinematic ballad that manages to harmonise brutal genre trappings and audio with light and breezy NY rom-com aesthetics

… a feel-good movie that isn’t afraid to make the audience (and even its characters) earn those feels …

… a fun and heart-warming romp …

[Bryan Cranston] ... anchors a bold and powerful production which is well worth catching.

… the best way to enjoy this obtuse, bizarre Japanese cult classic.

... a film about an author in crisis — an artist searching for a new form but becoming trapped within his own imagery.

… dramatically inert yarn that progressively feels more and more like a slog.

Supermassive Games burst onto the scene in 2015 with their breakout hit Until Dawn. The premise was simple: experience a gory slasher flick as an interactive movie, controlling various characters

… deliberately controlled, almost austere.

Fatherland is not only about the past. It is a warning about the cyclical nature of history and the dangers of forgetting.

… there’s a winning earnestness radiating from its lead performers that smooths over the potentially-unintentional discomfort, tired rom-com tropes, and occasionally eye-rolling soundtrack.

… a confection of missed chances.

… spectacle without substance: a film that gestures toward scandal and intensity but offers little emotional resonance or intellectual insight in return.

The film’s greatest revelation is Sandra Hüller’s performance

… a stylised masquerade that invites the viewer to surrender to its strange, campy logic.

… lingers through its chilly precision and quiet menace.

... the perfect action RPG for the terminally busy, working parents or those who just prefer their dark fantasy experiences to be on the more casual side.

… the kind of film that’s difficult to shake.
