Amsterdam

"'Amsterdam' might encompass 15 years of history, straddle two continents and throw in innumerable subplots, but it becomes increasingly hard to shake the sense that you’re watching a very thin idea twiddling its thumbs (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"There is something weirdly heavy and foggy in 'Amsterdam' (...) There are some very good performances, and Washington has taken another step towards A-lister greatness (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Although stuffed with ambition and the occasionally arresting moment, this 1930s mystery flaunts a freewheeling spirit that far outpaces its convoluted story and dramatically thin protagonists" 

"Neither serious enough to be sharp satire, nor energetic enough to deliver exuberant farce (...) 'Amsterdam suffers from a surfeit of story detail without the vigour to whizz you through it (...) A tonally uneasy disappointment (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"It's a rocky, at times patience-testing ride, but 'Amsterdam' is ultimately worth the trip (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"With voiceover narration and Daniel Pemberton’s score delicately waltzing around each other, Russell energetically pinballs you through his story, much in the way 'American Hustle' did (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A star-studded new historical comedy that’s amusing at best, noxious at worst, and frantically self-insistent upon its own negligible entertainment value (...) David O. Russell is back"
