Movie reviews of David Nagle

Might leave you feeling mildly content without any bad side effects. But unfortunately there aren’t exactly any benefits either. Review

A movie that gleefully accepts the cliches of its predecessors and delights in subverting them. Review

It’s a very unstructured, rambling affair, where conversation dictates the flow. Review

Truly is an exceptional piece of visual art, but it’s held back by being more for the eyes than for the heart. Review

The arthouse sensibilities mixed with commercial appeal, the visual impact, strong performances and heart make up for the slightly unusual tone and sometimes weak script... Review

Tonya Harding might be the focus of this story, but really, this film’s all about Margot Robbie. Review

Becomes the right sendoff should this be Snyder’s last DC movie. Review

Without context, without anything meaningful to say, it becomes nothing more than exploitative. Review

For all its flaws, Three Summers ultimately gets by on its charm. Review

Plaza carries the film, bringing a perfect mix of blankness and intensity, of weirdness, desperation, light and dark to her character. Review

Beneath the energy and the flashiness, it’s just as dead behind the eyes as the first movie. Review

Coasts along on the chemistry of its main stars and the interesting moments are outweighed by the things you’ve seen before... Review

Concocts a number of beautiful, striking and haunting images, but the film doesn’t have the emotional impact that a subject of this magnitude should. Review

The best way to (steering straight into the metaphor) right the ship and sail off into the sunset. Review

Achieves that sequel rare trick of being just as good as the original. Review

A stunning debut and one of the scariest films you’ll see this year. Review

A wasteful multi-million dollar project that never truly gets off the ground. Review

What keeps the film alive are the performances of its central trio and the fact it still manages a surprise in its third act. Review

Israelite does a fine job of balancing the varied tones of the movie – from fun, to angst, to action... Review

A movie where even a critic stops taking notes because they’re so immersed. Review

The real complexity of the story on offer is obscured beneath a layer of saccharinity. But it’s a film that’s practically impossible not to cheer. Review

The questions that the movie could raise and address, but doesn’t, are far more interesting than the movie itself. Review

A unique story, a powerful, human and moving one that hasn’t been seen on the screen before. Review

For pure visual panache alone, Doctor Strange heads to the top of the Marvel class. Review
