Unfortunately, Garland’s latest project is also his weakest. Menis certainly a strong directorial achievement; Garland delivers some truly sickening moments of body horror that would make even the most ardent of Cronenberg fans squirm. It’s an effective potboiler, but Garland fails to give his central character any defining traits beyond trauma. Ha...
The Beach is one of the weirder films inspired by Garland. Based on Garland’s 1996 novel of the same name (adapted by screenwriter John Hodge), it was the first collaboration between Garland and Danny Boyle. Boyle would later employ Garland as his primary writer during an interesting moment in his career, in which he moved away from British crime d...
So Dredd automatically earns points for being infinitely better than the god-awful Sylvester Stallone version, which isn’t a high bar to clear. However, Garland is incredibly smart with how he chooses to adapt the source material. Dredd (Karl Urban) is a straightforward guy in a crooked world. He’s committed to justice, and despite his unflinching ...
Devs is arguably Garland’s most ambitious project. Over the course of eight episodes, the Hulu series explores Silicon Valley tech culture, objective realism, determinism, artificial intelligence, trauma, and consumerism. It thoroughly fleshes out both Sonoya Mizuno’s traumatized analyst and Nick Offerman’s version of Larry Ellison, as well as a gr...
The last third ofAnnihilation is perhaps the best thing that Garland has ever done. It’s a thoroughly weird, metatextual dissection of how nature goes through the cycles of life and death. Without hyperbole, it’s one of the most astounding science fiction movie endings since 2001: A Space Odyssey. The entire film is packed with creative uses of bio...
Big, bold, emotional, exciting, and messy; basically, Sunshineis a Danny Boyle movie. Boyle is one of the most exciting auteurs of his generation, and a spiritualist sci-fi film is definitely not what you’d expect from the guy who would win the Oscar for Best Director for Slumdog Millionaire a year later. Sunshine is a beautiful emotional journey. ...
Never Let Me Go is a great novel adapted by a great writer. Garland latches on to themes of mortality but attacks them through the premise of a coming-of-age love story. Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Ruth (Keira Knightley), and Tommy (Andrew Garfield) aren’t just facing their own potential deaths; they have to unpack all their illusions about adulthood. ...
One of the great directorial debuts of the past decade, Ex Machina finally earned Garland an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Ex Machina is a perfect isolation thriller. By confining the action to Nathan Bateman’s (Oscar Isaac) compound, he creates tensions and forces the viewer to pay close attention to all three main charact...
Garland’s most anarchic work to date, 28 Days Later is the most important zombie movie since George Romero’s original Night of the Living Dead. Too much of the film feels predictive now. Does the idea of not trusting whether someone has been vaccinated, isolated streets, and pillaged metroplexes sound familiar? Garland gives just enough detail abou...
