BRIAN VINER reviews Tom Cruise's latest film Digger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At the end of last week's world premiere of Digger – which was also the Royal Film Performance – many of us headed for the exits so perplexed by what we'd just seen that it didn't seem especially odd, when we got there, to find that we weren't allowed to leave the cinema. Digger is so bizarre that I wasn't alone in wondering whether we were all caught up in a brazen piece of performance art, barricaded into the Odeon Leicester Square as an unwitting part of the narrative. In fact, the explanatio
BRIAN VINER: Brad Pitt and his faithful hound share the limelight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A caption at the start of the survival thriller Heart of the Beast reads: ‘Somewhere in Alaska.’ We don’t need to know exactly where, just as we don’t need to know who, why, what or when. A hard-as-nails former Special Forces soldier played by Brad Pitt forges through an unforgiving wilderness with his loyal hound. That’s pretty much all there is to David Ayer’s film. Nothing more is required. We are, in fairness, fed morsels of a backstory. Pitt’s character is called James Belmont and his belov
BRIAN VINER reviews Sense and Sensibility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sense and Sensibility (Focus Features, PG) Sense And Sensibility, Jane Austen's first completed novel, was published 215 years ago this autumn. That seems like an anniversary worth celebrating, but does the latest screen version, starring Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones as Elinor Dashwood, one of Austen's most admirable heroines, do it justice? Not in my book. Georgia Oakley's film is gorgeous on the eye and blessed with some fine performances. However, in trying to present to a modern audienc
BRIAN VINER: Ronan's top of the class as a tortured teacher (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A satirical black comedy, Bad Apples is all the more mischievous for being played dead straight, above all by the superb Saoirse Ronan as a teacher at the end of her tether. The film is inspired by a Swedish novel and directed by a Swede, Jonatan Etzler, but he has set it in a West-of-England primary school where Maria (Ronan) feels that teaching is her vocation but doesn't have a clue how to deal with the unruly Danny (Eddie Waller). He is a damaged, angry 11-year-old whose insolence and disobe
BRIAN VINER reviews Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom There are plenty of contenders for the title of Britain's greatest-ever fictional hero. Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Miss Marple, Doctor Who … it's a crowded field. But only one contender is entirely at home in an actual field, setting a high baa for all the others with his charisma and irrepressible sense of adventure. Yes, Shaun is back, leading the Mossy Bottom flock on yet another improbably nutty escapade, brilliantly rendered in stop-motion clay a
