Movie Reviews

Nick's Flick Picks - 5/10 by Nick DavisOne of the most emotionally shattering and formally inspired movies of the 1980s.
Filmcritic.com - 2/10 by David BezansonI would say it's one of the worst films ever made, but that would make it sound more interesting than it actually is.
User Review - 10/10 by Marco LChanged the way I looked at film, had never seen anything like it until then.
User Review - 10/10 by Mick HA visual treat, with one of the most well matched scores of any film I have seen - a fully immersive experience.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew RA unique vision of 80's England, culture, future and post-apocalyptic decay. Jarmans visual scope and construction of images is devastatingly powerful.
User Review - 10/10 by Tommaso dBest movie I've seen in 2008. Unique, it made me feel less lonely.
User Review - 10/10 by Thom BDerek Jarman's films are each unique, beautiful and jarring experinces. "The Last of England" is the best of an amzing lot by a grossly underappreciated filmmaker. R.I.P.
User Review - 8/10 by Wut SA stylistically sporadic film poetry depicting the violent subjective undercurrent of a radical-turned-intellectual (an elderly figure with pen & papers, narrating throughout the film) whose anger directs towards his country's constitution, rebuking its war decisions, economic structure, and social idealism as oppression responsible for national decay. As I interpreted it, the film is an exploitation of the movement's traumatic ineffectuality. The youths who exhibited violent resistances will find themselves in an irresolute void as time would reveal their tarnished cause. But all was not lost; what emerged for the radical veterans was an intense individualization derived from the intimate "way of life" they lived. And because of this unique dynamics between shame and distinctive splendor, the film times to times is able to match the solemnity of bleak masterpieces, despite its punk rock appearance.
User Review - 8/10 by David DBeautiful, despairing non-narrative film showing a post-apocalyptic England as the inevitable result of Thatcher's reign.
User Review - 8/10 by A RThis is one of those pure art films from which one can't expect things like linear narrative and engaging characters, etc. It does, however, convey a very clear theme of apocalypse and decay. It is a beautiful and terrifying collage of images that's wholly bewitching. Maybe you need to be on Jarman's wavelength to get it.
