Imperium

This fact-based crime thriller was really well done across the board. Radcliffe was very convincing in the lead role, and Collette was a star as always. Devin Druid, who I loved so much in "Louder Than Bombs", also turned in a small but stellar performance. The direction was really tight, and the script was well paced and compellingly written. I enjoyed this a lot and wish it had gotten a wider audience. Recommended. 4/5

Miss You Already

Yes, this is a sentimental cry-fest, but it's beautifully acted with a solid plot. If you liked "A Fault in Our Stars", you'll like this lovely yet tragic film as well. 4/5

Gandolfini was so lovely & charming in his last role it just broke my heart - a wonderful rom-com with heart. 3.5/5

This psych thriller is wonderfully acted by Eddie Redmayne but nebulously scripted with an odd ending. 3/5

Mental

This had its moments but I found this comedy more annoying & off-puttng than endearing - it never rang true at all. 2.5/5
