ROB THE MOB is one of 2014’s biggest surprises
★★★★ Raymond De Felitta’s latest features a pair of impossible-to-resist performances from Michael Pitt and Nina Arianda.

★★★1/2 Eccentrically explores the complexities of a long term relationship and puts a bizarre, sci-fi-ish twist on the idea of couples therapy.
When it co-stars two Oscar nominees (Winona Ryder and James Franco), a thespian-turned-fashionista (Kate Bosworth) and noted character actors like Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption, Starship Troopers) and Frank Grillo (Warrior, The Grey).
★★★1/2 Zach Clark’s ability to present alternative worlds, in a manner that normalises their activities has always been the most appealing aspect of his work.
★★★1/2 A boy meets girl horror story masquerading as an art film, slipping right out of one nightmare, only to terrorize us with the next.
★★★ 13 Sins defiles the protagonist’s humanity the same way Saw does human flesh.
Michel Faber’s novel gets under the skin of an alien by delving into her psychology. In Jonathan Glazer’s transcendentally terrifying film, he uses visual abstraction to get under ours.
★★ The Luc Besson comeback blockbuster that’s not even 10% as smart as it thinks it is.
★★★ Striving for profundity with heart on sleeve and thought-provoking without ever probing deep enough, I Origins encourages us to think big and outside of ourselves, but wants us to fill in the blanks afterwards.
