The Times Kevin Maher

Guadagnino is also on the form of his life, directing with assured style and structure, and offering a lovely closing device that asks us to relax, calm down and remember that it’s all just playtime. Read full review

It takes a lot of hard work and the perfect alignment of movie stars to make something this god-awful. Read full review
