High-Rise
Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise has an unsettling building, an assured Tom Hiddleston and too little dramatic momentum. The production design keeps rewarding attention long after the class satire starts repeating itself.

Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise has an unsettling building, an assured Tom Hiddleston and too little dramatic momentum. The production design keeps rewarding attention long after the class satire starts repeating itself.

Guillermo del Toro’s Gothic romance is worth seeing for its ruined mansion and forceful performances. The predictable plotting and overexposed ghosts limit the fear, but there is enough feeling beneath the decoration to make it matter.

Guillermo del Toro’s animated fantasy earns our affection through its troll designs and an engaging voice cast. The storytelling is familiar, sometimes thin, but the warmth makes it easy to recommend for family viewing.

A horse in a jumper, a glass house above Los Angeles, and six seasons that became as honest about depression, self-sabotage and the slow business of growing up as anything made with actors. The reviews that fixed its reputation were written on the first six episodes, which are the only ordinary ones.

In 1982 Jim Henson and Frank Oz made the first feature film in which not one living thing on screen is human. Every character is a puppet with a person inside it, every landscape was built, and the story of a cracked crystal and a race split in two is told almost entirely by how things look and move. The second in our series about films that tell a story the way only a film can.

Chris Morris spent three years finding out how young men talk themselves into murder, then made a farce about it that is funnier than anything the Pythons or Ealing produced and a great deal braver. The critics gave it a polite 74. We gave it 94, and we are not sure that was high enough. The second in an occasional series about films the critics got wrong.

Between Inception and Annihilation, the studios kept paying for original, adult science fiction at a mid-range budget, a generation of British and European directors took the genre seriously, and the spectacle got legible again. Twenty films from the decade, average Fi1m score 80, and the argument they add up to.

Twelve days, one house, black and white, the text as written and actors who had been reading the play together for years. The 2013 Much Ado About Nothing is neither filmed theatre nor a costume pageant nor a remix. It is the play as a house party, and it changes what a Shakespeare film can cost, look like and feel like. The first in a series about what happens when the stage meets the camera honestly.
