- 1917 (2019) And here we come to the film that put Mendes back on the world’s radar. 1917 is a sort of one-trick pony, sure, in the sense that it relies on a single technical flourish to make all its moments land.
- Away We Go (2009) This film is the farthest that Mendes has ever stepped out of his comfort zone, and it is the most interesting part of his filmography.
- Skyfall (2012) What is there to say about Skyfall that has not been said already? After the failure of the much-maligned Quantum of Solace (which feels unfair in retrospect since the production of that film took place during a writers’ strike), the Craig-era Bond was in need of a refresh.
- Revolutionary Road (2008) This film has developed a reputation in cinephile circles for being one of the most depressing films of the late 2000s, and the idea of it is indeed very heavy.
