Filth (2013) 66% EDIT “James McAvoy has pulled off a performance so searing and intense that he manages to imbue this drug-addicted, racist sociopath with just enough vulnerability to make the movie work.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Saving Mr. Banks (2013) 79% EDIT “No wonder Mary Poppins needed a spoonful of sugar. This is a dark film that tells the heart-breaking true story behind one of the great characters in children's movie history.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Philomena (2013) 91% EDIT “Give Dame Judi the damn Oscar” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014) 88% EDIT “Enticed by the prospect of buried treasure, Kumiko sets off on an ill-fated odyssey in search of the loot.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) 92% EDIT “This might just be Wes Anderson's best film; it's certainly his most thrilling. The cult director has bolstered the whimsical humor with a raucous crime caper and it's a riot.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Fury (2014) 75% EDIT “Anyone who thinks this movie is rollicking good fun belongs on some kind of watch list.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Foxcatcher (2014) 88% EDIT “Carell is good in a brooding, atmospheric movie but Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo turn in career-best performances.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review The Fear of 13 (2015) 94% EDIT “It could only make sense in the twisted world of American justice. A death row prisoner's life was saved because he wrote to a judge begging to be executed.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Sherpa (2015) 98% EDIT “The Sherpas hit the cutting room floor in most Everest movies. Not this time.” – The Daily Beast Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Elstree 1976 (2015) 81% EDIT “For hundreds of actors, bit-part players and costume-dwellers appearing in Star Wars in 1977 was the moment that would shape their lives-they were granted immortality.” – The Daily Beast Mar 3, 2019 Full Review Destination Unknown (2017) 100% EDIT “The enduring question: why me? Continues to hound those who escaped the Nazi death machine.” – The Daily Beast Mar 3, 2019 Full Review No Stone Unturned (2017) 79% EDIT “This extraordinary film offers renewed hope to the survivors and victims of terrorist atrocities that have been left unsolved by authorities.” – The Daily Beast Mar 3, 2019 Full Review The Venerable W. (2017) 100% EDIT “A heart-stopping look at a man who has helped to push a community to the brink of collapse through nationalism and anti-Islamic hatred.” – The Daily Beast Mar 3, 2019 Full Review Under the Wire (2018) 85% EDIT “A spectacular documentary that takes us inside a slaughter that killed at least 100 people in Homs, including one of America's greatest war reporters.” – The Daily Beast Mar 2, 2019 Full Review All the Gods in the Sky (2018) EDIT “It's 'The Secret Garden' on LSD, and-just a few minutes into this mind-bending character study-it's obvious that this is going to be a very bad trip indeed.” – The Daily Beast Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Putin's Witnesses (2018) 83% EDIT “An extraordinary documentary-using footage shot from inside the Kremlin-that explores Putin's uncompromising thirst for power.” – The Daily Beast Mar 2, 2019 Full Review The Raft (2018) 90% EDIT “An extraordinary demonstration of the human spirit-including sex, furious arguments and deep friendship.” – The Daily Beast Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Cam (2018) 93% EDIT “One of the hottest horror movies on this year's genre festival circuit.” – The Daily Beast Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Brexit (2019) 80% EDIT “Some of the glaring errors in an early version of the script-which was leaked to The Daily Beast last summer-have been cut, but there are plenty of inaccurate and downright misleading scenes in the final production.” – The Daily Beast Mar 2, 2019 Full Review
