Robin Hood

The latest stab at one of England's favourite folk heroes is a deliciously punked out, hyped up, super-charged action flick...Hook into the crazy swing of the film and you're in for a sweet ride.

Why Stop Now?
myfilmblog
Kam Williams
Delivers just enough laughs to remain recommended, despite the fact that this hard to pigeonhole head-scratcher would have benefited from making a total commitment to either comedy or a drama.

Emma.

Alvaro Corujo
Anya Taylor-Joy establishes herself (if she hadn't already) as one of the most promising actresses of the moment. With a photograph taken in the slightest detail, you will love Emma from the very first moment. [Full review in Spanish]

The Gentlemen
nostagefright.net
Alvaro Corujo
Leaving aside the story about the marijuana boss played by Matthew McConaughey (love u), I want to focus on Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell. Both are superb, eclipsing the rest of the cast and, at times, the film itself. [Full review in Spanish]

Tigertail

Alvaro Corujo
Tigertail reminds me a lot of Master of None although, logically, from a more dramatic point of view. Although the movie is entertaining, Yang is much better at comedies than dramas. [Full review in Spanish]

Tomorrowland is an imaginative spectacle which delivers a world more memorable than the story told within it.

Life

Life seems to refuse to accept its identity as a sci-fi horror film but provides a thrilling, disturbing, claustrophobic space tale.

[Screenwriter] Knight should be remembered at year's end for not only telling a compelling story, but for delightfully smart and witty dialogue that never feels unnatural in the actors' mouths.

The story is always interesting, yet is harmed by its willingness to stoop to soap opera level.
