Sophia Pande
A gem of a movie disguised as a film about “older” people

Sophia Pande
Made by the great Ridley Scott, the film portrays the dangers and beauties of space travel

The Force Awakens has taken its life from the imagination of the gifted writer/director and its new talents.

Sophia Pande
This year, the Kathmandu International Film Festival (KIMFF) may have surpassed itself

Mr. Holmes

#785 ( 4-10 December 2015 )
Sophia Pande
While it may not be set in Baker Street, it is an essential imagining and extension of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Spectre

#784 ( 27 November - 3 December 2015 )
Sophia Pande
A problematically long bore of a film that basically has several interminable, linked set pieces that do very little to enhance a plotless film.

Sophia Pande
A young female journalist embarks on an investigation to try and locate the whereabouts of Nimalarajah, a Tamil journalist who disappeared over seven years ago

The Salt of the Earth

#782 ( 6-12 November 2015 )
Sophia Pande
In the hands of a man like Sebastião Salgado, pictures can indeed become testaments written in light and shadow.

Diplomacy

#781 ( 30 October - 5 November 2015 )
Sophia Pande
A carefully crafted film that elucidates the usually clandestine meetings that must take place in order for reason to triumph over madness

Dior and I

#780 ( 16-22 October 2015 )
Sophia Pande
Dior and I is much more than just a film, it is a character study, almost anthropological examination of a very tight knit group of people

Sophia Pande
Do make an effort to see the film – it’ll have you in stitches

Highway to Dhampus

#778 ( 2-8 October 2015 )

Madeline Zutt
Jake Gyllenhaal's grisly performance in Nightcrawler is his best yet

Sarthak Mani Sharma
Hero abounds with unrealistic dialogues and actions

Queen of Earth

#775 ( 11-17 September 2015 )

Sophia Pande
The Fall provides no easy answers, no heroes or heroines, but just a lens into the world of people who try to track down killers

Sophia Pande
What a shame to have to waste such talent in such a mundane manner
