    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
    The supporting cast is flawless, with a special mention owed to Brad Dourif as poor, doomed Billy Bibbit. But the script lacks the woozy, otherworldly subtlety of Kesey’s book, relying instead on pop psychology and finger-pointing: once again, it turns out women are to blame for pretty much everything.

    Dinosaur 13
    Using home-video footage and talking-head interviews, Dinosaur 13 dramatically depicts the thrill of archaeological discovery. But the overbearing soundtrack and shots of weeping palaeontologists do feel a touch manipulative.

    Summertime
    The film can feel truncated, as if only a longer film or TV series could do proper justice to the details of the story. But it’s a sensitive and moving tale nonetheless.

    The Congress
    Folman’s vision is just too personal and obtuse, and the result can feel rather like watching someone else drop acid, enjoying their giddy descriptions of all the pretty colours but unable to fully engage.

    Hell or High Water
    A film with a fistful of memorable moments—most of them involving Bridges hurling insults at people—but not a great deal new to say.

    The Reluctant Fundamentalist
    Riz Ahmed is superb as Changez (pronounced Chan-Gez, not like the Bowie song),

    Tokyo Tribe
    It’s a wild, at times exhilarating watch – but an exhausting one.

    The Idol
    If you’re a fan of the classic streets-to-stardom formula, this is a solid rendition.

    Starred Up
    It’s disappointing when Starred Up begins to lapse into soapy cliché.

    ID2: Shadwell Army
    The plotting may be a little ropey, especially towards the end. But ‘ID2’ has smart things to say about identity and social class, and strides confidently through the minefield of British racial politics.

    The Hunger Games
    This is a solid take on the material, but it could have done with a little less narrative incident and a little more cinematic sparkle.

    For Those in Peril
    There’s only so many times an audience will fall for the same manipulative editing tricks. Still, with fine performances and a rich sense of place, this is a promising start.

    Exposed
    Asking far more questions than it could ever answer, Exposed ends on a note so flat and predictable that it undermines all that went before. But there are strange and memorable moments here, and a mood of eerie foreboding that’s hard to shake.

    Milius
    The film does approach Milius with a certain reverence, but it can’t disguise the fact that he’s a troubling, divisive figure: bull-headed, almost cartoonishly macho, staunchly right-wing and dangerously self-obsessed.

    The Autopsy of Jane Doe
    Overall, this is an enjoyable, compelling small-scale shocker.

    August: Osage County
    If you enjoy improbable plot twists, overcooked dialogue and Hollywood legends champing on scenery, this adaptation is a highly entertaining slice of American Gothic.

    From Afar
    The photography is starkly lovely, the slow drip of information is smartly handled and the central performances are appealingly ambiguous.

    The Hole
    Dante plays the early scenes perfectly, racking up the clammy dread without tipping over into outright nastiness. But somewhere along the way, the tension dissipates.

    Lucy
    This ridiculous, highly watchable, at points startlingly psychedelic action thriller is probably Luc Besson’s best film since ‘Léon’ (which isn’t saying a great deal).
    • 64 Metascore

    Unbranded
    Greater conflict (or simply more probing interviews) might have made for a more gripping movie. But what’s here will delight anyone who dreams of living free, sleeping rough and scoffing beans around the campfire.

    The Frozen Ground
    This is an unambitious, old-school thriller, nothing more and nothing less.

    Iron Man 3
    It’s undeniably entertaining – and worth seeing for Kingsley alone – with the misfires never fully overshadowing the moments of glory.
    • 61 Metascore

    Elysium
    This is a messy, poorly structured film, riddled with plot holes and lacking any kind of satisfying conclusion.
    • 62 Metascore

    Godzilla
    It’s always fun to watch scaly, skyscraper-size behemoths lay waste to civilization, but a bit more human drama wouldn’t have gone amiss.

    Northern Soul
    Give Northern Soul its due: this feisty, frequently amusing chronicle of one young man’s journey through the dancehalls of Lancashire nails its time and place.... A pity, then, that the story is so tiresomely familiar.
    • 66 Metascore

    Alan Partridge
    The film has plenty to recommend it, thanks to a string of memorable one-liners and Coogan’s unmatched knack for skin-crawling physical comedy. But this is a long way from the back-of-the-net strike it should have been.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Tom Huddleston
    Focus
    The chassis may be slick and speedy, but under the hood Focus lives up to its Ford-produced namesake: sturdy but not exactly stimulating.
    • 67 Metascore

    Furious 7
    The sheer sense of ludicrous, punch-the-air joie de vivre is impossibly infectious.
