Good-looking but very, very violent war movie with a convincingly horrible depiction of life as a tanker during the dying days of the Second World War. In time-honoured style a green young recruit joins Brad Pitt's crew, loses his innocence, earns respect of his fellows.

Movie can't quite seem to decide what it wants to be - the characters are portrayed as brutalised victims, executing prisoners, and there's an extraordinarily long and uncomfortable sequence in which they avail themselves of the hospitality of some recently-liberated German women, but on the other hand it concludes with them heroically mowing down Nazis by the dozen. In the end it's not really clear whether Fury thinks that War is Hell or not, but David Ayer always tells this kind of guys-in-extremis story well.

Polished European genre movie is one of those films that suggests you can be a bit too thoughtful. Young man arrives on a remote island, uninhabited but for a dissolute old curmudgeon of a lighthouse keeper; he will be here for a year and is not delighted to learn that every night the place is swarming with fish-men wanting to kill him. He and the other man form an alliance, complicated by the presence of a female creature (hey, we all get lonely, I guess).

Ultimately yet another raid on H.P. Lovecraft, even down to some of the dialogue, but the movie cops out when it comes to the bleakness and existential despair. Not quite as weird as The Lighthouse, with which it shares a number of similarities, but still fairly hard work: it's fine to be high-minded and serious, but the glacial pace and lack of emotional range in this film is a problem. Looks good, but then again so what: it's a truly exceptional film that doesn't, these days. In the end it's okay but I was looking at my watch a lot towards the end.

"Two Days One Night, it’s perfectly directed. The way the Dardenne brothers frame her, making her kids’ bed before she goes and tries to overdose in the bathroom — it stays in that one shot. It’s this wide shot, handheld, which nobody does like the Dardenne brothers. I’ve tried to chase it; there’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like watching a scene unfold and becoming something you did not expect in the beginning of the shot. It’s like one shot can tell an entire three-course meal. Also, that movie is one of the few movies that made me uncontrollably sob at the end, because of her power, the sweetness of it. I can’t believe the sweetness; it made me so raw and vulnerable. It’s not just that it’s tragic. It’s such a small story, but I connect with it. I connect with needing people and needing for them to hear from you. I feel like getting heard at the end of the movie, or not getting heard, depending on how you look at it, is so unbelievably moving. Marion Cotillard is the god of our generation. Not a goddess, she’s god!"
