Movies starring Ralph Fiennes

Schindler's List (1993)

195 mins Biography, Drama

I am half tempted just to tell you to watch "Schindler's List" rather than even attempt to review it because whilst I can put into words what I watched getting across how that affected me is not so easy. The thing is that I h...

Quiz Show (1994)

133 mins Drama

Based upon the true story of the quiz show scandal of the 50s, Robert Redford's "Quiz Show" is not only entertaining but also fascinating as it tells the story of Herbie Stempel (John Turturro) who ended up bringing down a qu...

The English Patient (1996)

Spider (2002)

98 mins Drama

Why does a movie reviewer write reviews, especially of movies they don't like? The answer is so that movie fans who find they have similar tastes will know whether or not a movie is for them. Sounds simple doesn't it but as a...

Red Dragon (2002)

124 mins Crime, Drama, Thriller

I was not a fan of "Hannibal", the movie was too different to the first movie with a different style and tone which made it frankly ordinary whilst the change in cast didn't help matters either. But the good news is that "Red...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

157 mins Adventure , Family, Fantasy

In my review of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" I mentioned that I struggled with the darker tone which director Alfonso Cuar�n delivered and I expected the next movie to be the same. Well "Harry Potter and the Gob...

The White Countess (2005)

135 mins Drama, Romance

Well what can I say about "The White Countess" other than right from the word go this movie was a slog, a beautifully shot slog with an appealing cast including the wonderful and sadly missed Natasha Richardson but still a sl...

The Constant Gardener (2005)

129 mins Drama, Mystery, Romance

I'm a Type 1 diabetic, not something I like but something I have to live with. But as a diabetic I know two things; one there will not be a week which goes past when there will be something in the press about a possible cure ...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

138 mins Adventure , Family, Fantasy

So Harry Potter number 5 or to give it its proper title "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and both surprisingly and unsurprisingly it is another brilliant movie. Surprisingly, well let's be honest how many movie fra...

The Hurt Locker (2008)

126 mins Action , Drama, Thriller, War

Oscar winning movie "The Hurt Locker" is a movie which is brave for being different; it looks and feels different to the norm but then manages to bring in some mainstream elements to make it a commercially acceptable movie. A...

In Bruges (2008)

107 mins Comedy, Crime, Drama

"In Bruges" didn't do it for me, I was not blown away by this movie like some people are but it was a lot of good fun. The double act of Ray and Ken provides us with so much humour as Ken can't but help be impressed by the ci...

The Duchess (2008)

110 mins Biography, Drama

The Duchess: Keira Knightley stars as Georgiana a distant relative of Princess Diana who suffered a loveless marriage...

Cemetery Junction (2010)

95 mins Comedy, Drama

I've always found Ricky Gervais's sense of humour to be an acquired taste and not really mine but I was pleasantly surprised when I watched "Cemetery Junction" because the collaboration of Gervais and Stephen Merchant has cre...

Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010)

109 mins Comedy, Family, Fantasy

Whilst the first "Nanny McPhee" movie worked I always felt it worked for a very specific target audience of young girls rather than for all the family. Thankfully that issue has been sorted when it comes to the sequel "Nanny ...

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

99 mins Adventure , Comedy, Crime

Technically "The Grand Budapest Hotel" ticks a lot of boxes, a heck of a lot of boxes. Visually it is undeniably stylish to the point it is hard not to be impressed by the craftsmanship of Wes Anderson and his cinematographer...
