The Artist

The Artist
  • 4 stars)
  • 2011
  • France
  • 100 min
  • PG
  • Directed by: Michel Hazanavicius
  • Written by: Michel Hazanavicius
  • Cast: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo

This joyous, impeccably crafted crowdpleaser about the advent of the talkies melds the tried and tested plot of A Star Is Born to the comic exuberance of Singin' In The Rain, with the result that it is almost impossible not to fall for its charms.

Carnage

Carnage
  • 4 stars)
  • 2011
  • France/Germany/Poland/Spain
  • 79 min
  • 15
  • Directed by: Roman Polanski
  • Cast: Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C Reilly

A playground spat between two boys causes their parents to try to settle their differences. There's little attempt to disguise the film's theatrical origins, but it plays out at such a blistering pace and boasts such exuberant performances that it's hard not to give in to it. Fast, funny and filthy.

Martha Marcy May Marlene

Martha Marcy May Marlene
  • 3 stars)
  • 2011
  • US
  • 102 min
  • 15
  • Directed by: Sean Durkin
  • Written by: Sean Durkin
  • Cast: Elizabeth Olsen, John Hawkes, Sarah Paulson, Hugh Dancy

A young woman (Olsen) returns to the house of her sister (Paulson) after two years as a cult member. Olsen is breathtaking, but although Durkin is to be applauded for avoiding melodrama and pat resolutions, the film lacks intensity and could have used a little more narrative meat on its bones.

Romantics Anonymous (Les émotifs anonymes)

  • 2 stars)
  • 2010
  • France/Belgium
  • 80 min
  • 12A
  • Directed by: Jean-Pierre Améris
  • Cast: Benoît Poelvoorde, Isabelle Carré, Lorella Cravotta

Jean-René (Poelvoorde) is a pathologically shy chocolate factory owner, while Angelique (Carré) is a pathologically anxious chocolatiere; how will they even start a conversation, let alone reveal their feelings to each other? Despite likeable performances and some amusing moments, this is far more saccharine than bittersweet.

The Woman in Black

The Woman in Black
  • 2 stars)
  • 2012
  • UK/Canada/Sweden
  • 95 min
  • 12A
  • Directed by: James Watkins
  • Written by: Jane Goldman, Susan Hill
  • Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer

A young lawyer (Radcliffe) arrives at a remote English village to conclude the estate of a dead woman; cue lots of shoogly windows, creaky floorboards and slamming doors. Despite smart production choices of screenwriter and director, and a commendable performance by Radcliffe, the movie is dull, old-fashioned and decidedly short on terror.
