Movie reviews:
TRANSCENDENCE
(US, 2014) Dir: Wally Pfister. Stars Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Kate Mara, Cillian Murphy, Paul Bettany. “ .. has all the audacity of Christopher Nolan’s Inception, without the credibility … ends up as a jumble of style over substance, leaving us feeling hoodwinked,” says Louise. “Fascinating as it is, Jack goes too far and builds a scenario that plays like a cross between mystical and magical, diluting the film’s provenance,” says Andrew.

Movie review:
2 AUTUMNS 3 WINTERS
(France, 2013) Dir: Sébastian Betbeder. Stars Vincent Macaigne, Maud Wyler, Bastien Bouillon, Audrey Bastien, Thomas Blanchard, Pauline Etienne, Jean-Quentin Châtelein. “A determined lack of formality gives the film its sense of immediacy and edginess, though this is largely wasted as spontaneity is largely absent. Story is not the mantra of emerging filmmaker Sébastian Betbeder – character is, and relationships,” says Andrew.

UPCOMING FILMS
[Coming in May, The Babadook stars Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman. "So much more interesting and idiosyncratic than most horror films, The Babadook is original and compelling, not the least for the extraordinary performance of Noah Wiseman as the 6 year old son, Samuel," says Andrew. "Creepy from the outset, Jennifer Kent’s debut horror thriller has plenty going for it, from the unsettling mood created to a standout performance by Australian actress Essie Davis," says Louise.]
