It was cool to see a young Jeffrey Wright in a breakthrough performance, but Julian Schnabel’s biopic never truly clicked with me despite its star-studded cast – kind of staid and unexpectedly boring.

Native Son 1951
The back story of Richard Wright adapting his novel for a French director working in Argentina with an English-speaking cast is more interesting than the movie itself, but it’s still worth a look.

The Limehouse Golem 2016
There's a potentially interesting story here, unfortunately let down by clumsy, awkward storytelling and serious pacing and tonal issues.

You Were Never Really Here 2017
Joaquin Phoenix once again shows his versatility in this excellent understated performance in Lynne Ramsay's "post-violent" thriller. The character of Joe is nuanced and full of unresolved mental trauma, with the director excellently showing his brutality alongside his fragility.
