    Official Competition
    Detail is what makes Official Competition a joy to behold.

    Old Henry
    Although there is much to admire on a technical and craft level, the absence of storytelling innovation gives Old Henry the sleepiness of a familiar lullaby or nursery rhyme.

    Last Letter from Your Lover
    Amid lush period costumes, the chemistry between Woodley and Turner proceeds with gratifying slowness, each step down an irreversible path measured and counted.

    The Most Beautiful Boy in the World
    This documentary has value as a damning account of the film-world’s treatment of a child actor, yet as a piece of art and a personal portrait, its vagueness creates unease.

    The 8th
    Impressive scope, storytelling and sensitivity makes this a fine capture of Irish abortion rights history being made and the beautiful spirit of the campaigners who fought to push their country into the future.

    Proxima
    Winocour does brilliant work at enlarging the minute details that define the way the wind is blowing in this relationship.

    Military Wives
    The third act is bogged down with details of Kate’s backstory, and what should be a euphoric and cathartic finale is underwhelming.

    Chocolat
    It’s astonishing how early on in her career Denis had a handle on her distinct brand of visual composition. Hers is a genius for showing not telling, for laying out surfaces that are rich with implication and for conducting details until there is a heady picture that is minutely observant with a sweep that reaches from heaven to hell.
