Kidulthood
The fact is, while Kidulthood tries to be raw and gritty, it’s really just a mish-mash of events that’s missing characters that you genuinely care for or even begin to understand.
Sunset Boulevard
Tears away at the curtain that keeps reality away from fiction.
Roman Holiday
Mixes the romantic comedy formula of an unlikely couple slowly falling in love with some classic slapstick to create a movie that’s tough not to be delighted by.
Tropic Thunder

Sukiyaki Western Django
Although something of a confusing and befuddling mess, Miike’s foray into the Western genre, Sukiyaki Western Django is another showcase for his playful and often gory style.
