The Social Network: Misanthropy Memoir
The figure is troubled; the movie is precise. It’s a tribute to patter more than to a man.
The 100 Best Movies of the 2010s
This decade saw new studios created and old ones bought. Here’s my pick for the 100 Best Movies of the 2010s.
Only God Forgives: Violent Delusion
Refn is suffering from a sex and violence delusion. After this, you might be too.
The Tree of Life: Memory Epic
An epic of intimate proportions. The most personal film of its decade.
Moonrise Kingdom: American Comic
Wes Anderson turns our lives into a perfect documentary of feeling. It’s not real, but it’s important.
Alien: For the Love of Sex Monsters
The horror here is disquietingly personal. A masterclass in turning style into story.
Lost in Translation
Coppola’s wry, magical opus. Maybe falling in love has never been like this, but you’ll believe that it should be.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The rare horror film that makes you afraid of your own life, rather than for it. A paranoia masterclass.
