Telegraph

"Unyielding and underdeveloped, like a semi-interesting draft for something John Updike decided against writing."  

"Astonishing wartime epic will take your breath away (...) Somehow, Spielberg and Hanks have surpassed the thrills of 'Band of Brothers' (...) As a testament to heroism, Masters of the Air is first-rate. (...) Rating: ***** (out of 5)"  

"The film that made Steve McQueen a superstar and revolutionised the car chase with its 10-minute split-screen, edge-of-your-seat race up and down the hills of San Francisco"

"Very dark and very British, with strong performances all round"

"Featuring a particularly strong central performance and great effects, the film has had an enormous influence on many subsequent sci-fi films."

"Laid-back caper movie, adapted by William Goldman from a Donald Westlake novel and directed with the lightest of touches by the perennially underrated Peter Yates."

"Tiny things happen oversignificantly in this indulgent British effort set in 1960s."  

"Director Vincente Minnelli brings his own palette to bear on van Gogh's artistic struggle and emotional isolation, yet the plot could do with more of a defined structure"

"It may not be truthful – but, my God, the result is thrilling."  

"A film of piercingly perceptive moments, even if, as some say of Haneke's own work, it is cold to the core"

"A fitting memorial to a great star – and leaves his image indelibly fixed on our imagination."  

"I’ve rarely felt more manipulated by a drama, and rarely resented it less. (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"  

"Gory, hammy fun."

"Forty-three years on, the Cassandra Crossing has aged as only a terrible Seventies movie can"  

"A dizzying collage of all the changes in London’s social and architectural fabric since light was first trained through celluloid."  

"It is an affectionate but inconsequential fairy-tale."

"The disinterring of corpses makes this film almost too ghoulish for its own good, but Iceland's top director Baltasar Kormákur wraps it up in his distinctive frostbitten style."

"It's so screamingly unfunny it verges on the surreal."

"Paolo Sorrentino’s film about a beautiful woman’s empty, frivolous life is aesthetically pleasing – but ultimately amounts to almost nothing (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"  

"No wonder Iran wants to lock up this brilliant dissident director (...) this tense political parable-thriller about state paranoia and misogyny (...) Rating: ***** (out of 5)"
