Dunkirk

For all the chaos going on, there’s very little in the way of exposition.

The Beguiled

Suffice to say that The Beguiled is a nifty little tale that isn’t quite a thriller, isn’t quite a wartime drama and isn’t quite an historical romance.

Rogue One

Whilst The Force Awakens excited us because it felt like Star Wars again after the prequels, Rogue One is exciting specifically because it dares to be different.

Testament of Youth

Words cannot describe just how incredible Vikander is in the lead role. The film takes the time to stick close to Vera during her solitary moments, and really lets us see inside her head.

The Imitation Game

Even when he’s having an in-depth conversation, his mind is elsewhere, either because of his obsession with creating his machine, or because of the secrets he’s being asked to keep.

Attack on Titan Collection II

Taking the action outside the city is a fantastic move, as it’s great to see how the soldiers have to use their omnidirectional gear differently when out in the open.

Attack on Titan Collection 1

The brilliant thing about Attack on Titan though is this: no longer has it set up the rules, than it breaks them. With impunity.

Canopy

I thought perhaps we’d have a kind of Enemy Mine thing going on, where two former enemies learn to trust each other and become brothers. Instead, Canopy simply became a film featuring two people stumbling through the jungle, seemingly without purpose.

The Book Thief

We’ve seen hundreds of films about the Second World War, usually focussing on those on the front line, or the millions of minorities who lost their lives under the Nazi regime, yet films focussing on the ordinary German civilians seem to be few and far between.
