• The Revenant is a very visual film, a technical marvel and a feast to the senses. Inarritu’s long-time collaborator, Lubezki has always brought out the holistic, spiritual soul of his films.

  • Spotlight is an important film, especially at times of cynicism around the profession of journalism. It is a non-showy paean to print reportage as much as it is a deeply affecting human drama.

  • Trumbo may not dig deep – for all its pleasures, the film doesn’t linger. But it does a fine job of picking up a remarkable real life story of an unlikely hero and telling it with a filmic aura it deserves.

  • It’s the kind of stuff you might have sort of accidentally enjoyed at a pre-teen phase of your life but now only have contempt for simply because you have evolved. If you have a choice to make this weekend at the movies, stay away from this one.

  • Even at its finest moments, The Finest Hours is just unexceptionably plain and too traditional to surprise us…

  • Room is a superbly made movie about the bleakness that accompanies the loss of childhood.

  • The big twist in the last 30 minutes is almost bizarre. It doesn’t add up and nearly undoes the good job its done in parts until then. In a sudden turn of events, it becomes a slasher movie. And as a viewer, who was hoping to see a horror film that rises beyond the generic, we feel cheated.

  • The premise of The Hateful Eight is similar to the filmmaker’s own Reservoir Dogs .

    It is also similar in many ways to a lot of other films of different genres. But that’s Tarantino, a fan with a mental library of movie myths. And as always, he makes something original and wildly entertaining out of it.

  • The most intriguing aspect of The Danish Girl is that it is much more about that love story than it is about Lili’s road to self-discovery.

  • The film does that successfully creating a wondrous, immersive world with round-headed kid characters. It’s a cheery, old-fashioned cartoon film. Adapted from the original comics that appeared in a gag-a-day format in the newspapers, it’s refreshing to see gags on the big screen. But for the adult audience, is it engaging enough?
