Borat review: if you love the 1st movie you'll love it
If you thought it crass, vulgar and unutterably puerile, well - this one is a fair bit worse.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 21st October 2020Greed review
The main emotion when you leave the cinema at the end of Greed might well be surprise that there's not a posse of lawyers running in with an injunction on behalf of billionaire Sir Philip Green.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 21st February 2020Emma review
This is a truly sumptuous-looking film (whether the sumptuousness includes one entirely gratuitous shot of Johnny Flynn in the altogether, you'll have to decide for yourself).
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 14th February 2020Review: Emma
A sumptuous Emma... and she looks like she's a bit of a handful.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 5th February 2020Review: The Personal History of David Copperfield
This exuberant multi-ethnic version of David Copperfield sparkles with the spirit of Britain today... without abandoning its Victorian roots.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 24th January 2020Review: The Day Shall Come
I expected to laugh like a drain but instead, it was just an occasional gurgle.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 10th October 2019Horrible Histories: The Movie review
I liked a line about gladiators giving 'CX per cent'. But there's nothing here that hasn't been done before, more engagingly, by Monty Python and even the Carry On team.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 27th July 2019Wild Rose review
She lost out in a TV talent contest, but Jessie Buckley is having the last laugh with a barnstorming turn as a Glaswegian country singer who risks all to make it in Nashville.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 12th April 2019You'll be gripped by Fighting With My Family
A true story of a Norfolk lass who took on the big bad world of showbiz wrestling... and triumphed.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 1st March 2019Stan & Ollie review
It could be that this heartwarming film is more likely to be cherished by the over-50s, who will consider it a treat to join the trail of the lonesome pine.
