Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “Hawke doesn’t quite disappear in Blue Moon, though that’s the cliché with these kinds of roles. But he is absolutely convincing – pathetic, funny, sad and self-aware.” – GQ Magazine [UK] Dec 11, 2025 Full Review I Swear (2025) 100% EDIT “In less capable hands, Davidson would feel like a caricature, but Aramayo manages to make his Tourette's tics clearly involuntary, playing both the funny and the sad bits beautifully. ” – GQ Magazine [UK] Nov 25, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “It is, to put it mildly, completely f---ing terrifying.” – GQ Magazine [UK] Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% EDIT “It’s not quite the silliest MCU plot ever, but nearly two decades into this whole thing, it’s one of the least engaging. It’s phoned in, like the writers have realised that plot is no longer what audiences are turning up for. ” – GQ Magazine [UK] Jul 24, 2024 Full Review The Mauritanian (2021) 75% EDIT “Without even attempting to assess the post-9/11 scars on the American psyche that enabled this kind of reprehensible behaviour, it catastrophically fails its audience.” – GQ Magazine [UK] Apr 3, 2021 Full Review The Speed Cubers (2020) 100% EDIT “The Speed Cubers, about competitive Rubik's Cube solving, is a surprisingly affecting look at a subculture for shy, mathematically inclined teens...” – GQ Magazine [UK] Aug 7, 2020 Full Review The Old Guard (2020) 80% EDIT “It does just enough to spark some interest in the future of this Netflix movie franchise. Just.” – GQ Magazine [UK] Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Cargo (2017) 88% EDIT “Amidst nearly relentless peril, directors Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke manage to carve out some deeply tender moments, putting an intriguing spin on the zombie genre at the same time.” – Radio Times Jun 13, 2018 Full Review
