“Larraín’s approach to the material is rich and intoxicating and altogether magnificent.” 5/5 – Guardian
“Kristen Stewart balances trepidation with determination in Pablo Larraín’s spaced-out fantasia.” 5/5 – Irish Times
“Spencer is a bold, compassionate, poetic riposte to standard royal biopics. It also confirms Kristen Stewart as one of the most exciting actors working today.” 4/5 – Empire Magazine
“Love Yourself Today is a film about pain, but also about healing, and redemption.” 4/5 – Independent.ie
“Spirituality, music, healing, and more collides on stage.” 4/5 – Entertainment.ie
“An inspirational experience that will leave the viewer wanting to punch the air.” 4/5 – Irish Times
“Oscar Isaac is magnetic in this powerful, politically charged drama.” 4/5 – Irish Times
“There’s a horrible, queasy urgency to this high-stakes game.” 4/5 – Guardian
“An ace in the hole from a filmmaker himself unafraid to gamble. The Card Counter’s pacing won’t be for everyone, but Schrader fans will be all-in on this gripping portrait of lament.” 4/5 – Empire Magazine
