FILM REVIEW: How "Paddington 2" melted my cold, popsicle heart
The earnestness of Paddington 2 matches its inventiveness too: there's never, ever the cynical, lazy vibe of “Whatever, this is good enough for kids”. If you picture a Wes Anderson film with the deliberate, hilarious cruelty scrubbed away until it's a wholesome sheen, you're nearly there.

Film Review: The Stanley Tucci-Directed "Final Portrait" is not the Mum-core movie you want it to be
If I had to summarise Final Portrait in a word, it would be tedious. In many ways, this is fitting for a film about an artist creating an art.
