Mike Newell

Mike Newell's name appears in six separate pieces in the archive, and in all six it serves to weigh other films. Donnie Brasco is the measure for three critics: Andrew O'Hehir sees an unprejudiced outsider's view in it, Danny Leigh the moral murk of the undercover policeman, and Mark Kermode mentions it by way of its cinematographer. Jonathan Barnes describes his record as a thing flung from the lightness of Four Weddings and a Funeral to the hardness of Donnie Brasco. Philip Kemp takes Into the West, horses and all, for an instance of Ireland's risk of sentimentality. Five critics, six pieces. He is the director of all eleven works we hold.
