Films starring Brie Larson

Just Mercy

By Hannah Strong

Destin Daniel Cretton’s biopic of wrongly incarcerated death row inmate Walter McMillian plays it a little too safe.

review

Unicorn Store

By Josh Slater-Williams

Brie Larson directs and stars in this enjoyably idiosyncratic comedy about realising your childhood dreams.

review

Captain Marvel

By Hannah Strong

Brie Larson is great as Carol Danvers, but we’d hoped for slightly more from Marvel’s first female solo superhero movie.

review

The Glass Castle

By Emily Bray

Director and star of the delightful Short Term 12 return with an underwhelming epic of intergenerational family discord.

review

The myth of diplomacy is the key ingredient of a hot lead salad in Ben Wheatley’s wickedly funny pistol opera.

Kong: Skull Island

By Adam Woodward

Tom Hiddleston on Apocalypse Now, ‘Heart of Darkness’, and great blockbusters.

review

Room

By David Jenkins

Brie Larson shines in this deceptively life-affirming drama about a young mother forced to raise her son in isolation.

Short Term 12

By Adam Woodward

A barnstorming performance from Brie Larson elevates this bittersweet foster care drama.
