Cyrano
Cyrano is a workable piece, but could have used more visual ambition to mask some of the lacking music elements.
Uncharted
Uncharted is a good bit of fun as an adventure film, if a not so good adaptation of the games it’s based on.
Marry Me
Marry Me defies the odds and delivers a sweet, cliched bit of rom-com puff for the season.
Death on the Nile
A gorgeous, fun and flighty adaptation of one of the most famous murder-mystery novels ever written.
Blacklight
Better than some of Neeson’s recently laissez-faire fare, this actioner is still an unsubtle, poorly paced and ill-conceived deep state thriller.
Moonfall
MOONFALL is a crushing disappointment; a vapid endeavour that is entirely without effort or merit.
Hive
A brutal and gripping story of a Kosovan woman trying to survive the loss of her husband, and start a business in a village where women aren’t typically allowed to work.
The Hating Game
The Hating Game isn’t quite hateable (in fact, it’s quite enjoyable). It’s just utterly unambitious trash.
Parallel Mothers
A distinctly Amoldovarian film, giving us a look at the legacy of Spanish fascism, while also providing an emotional and thrilling drama.
Belfast
A beautiful movie, musing on the importance and extent of family.
Spencer
A captivating performance from Kristen Stewart anchors a beautifully presented, but ultimately heartbreaking tale.
The 355
Great action, strong characters and an intoxicating sense of fun make The 355 the perfect popcorn film to catch this summer.
The King’s Man
The King’s Man may be an origin story, but it feels like the freshness of this franchise dried up long ago.
West Side Story
West Side Story is fine, but entirely too safe to justify its big screen existence.
Red Rocket
Red Rocket is quality filmmaking, and is often funny enough to make you laugh out loud. But the pacing of the piece, coupled with a deeply troubling central relationship, scuppers its hopes for stardom.
King Richard
King Richard is surprising and fresh, and Smith is back on form as the father of the two most famous female athletes in the world.
Licorice Pizza
A joy to watch, this funny, romantic and beautiful film is a fantastic return of smaller budget adult fare that deserves a wide audience.
House of Gucci
House of Gucci is undeniably a good film; it’s just a little too bland, a little too safe, and a lot too long to be truly great.
Matrix: Resurrections
One of the strongest and wildest opening acts in recent times, gives way to a bland, aged actioner out of touch with modern times.
The French Dispatch
Anderson aficionados are unlikely to mark this as a high point in the auteurs oeuvre.
