CARNAGE

THE DESCENDANTS

“Maybe the finest performance of Clooney’s acting career”

LIKE CRAZY

“exciting young actors distinguish it from the average slush-fest.”

“From the most unique of directors comes an occasionally enjoyable but overall quite average action- thriller”

J. EDGAR

“Eastwood’s vast experience and yet another immense performance from DiCaprio mean this ambitious project is largely a success.”

“W.E.”

“Whilst not a terrible film, it’s hard to recommend something that is only half-interesting.”
