Rental Family (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “An American impulse for neat endings and recognisable stories gets in the way, but Rental Family is still beautifully written and gives little windows into Japanese life.” – Little White Lies Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “The performances and dialogue around trauma are sincere, but undercut by a need for a neat ending and sequel setups.” – Little White Lies May 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Though the run time may seem excessive (two hours and 40 minutes?!), it is a testament to Chu and his team’s care that each musical number is carefully built up and celebrated with elaborate set pieces. ” – Little White Lies Nov 22, 2024 Full Review No Other Land (2024) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It is terrifying work, and briefly stepping into his shoes, the shaking camera blurrily filming the ground. ” – Little White Lies Nov 13, 2024 Full Review My Favourite Cake (2024) 100% 3/5 EDIT “My Favourite Cake is a slice-of-life film with considered dialogue and heartfelt performances that unravels a culturally specific repression...” – Little White Lies Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Banel & Adama (2023) 95% 3/5 EDIT “While beautiful, the impression left by Banel & Adama is confusing.” – Little White Lies Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Supernova (2020) 89% EDIT “Supernova is a film that many will cherish if audiences can be absorbed by the overt metaphors and can look beyond the Rich White Male vantage point.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Polite Society (2023) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Martial arts combatting marital annihilation makes for a winning combination.” – Little White Lies Apr 25, 2023 Full Review What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022) 71% 2/5 EDIT “This second-culture kid wanted more that this flimsy writing could offer.” – Little White Lies Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Hive (2021) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A succinct drama with limited scope, but respectful of its subjects’ intimacies.” – Little White Lies Mar 10, 2022 Full Review Wildfire (2020) 95% 3/5 EDIT “Valiant effort but the approach to political metaphor feels very two-birds-one-stone.” – Little White Lies Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Souad (2020) 89% 2/5 EDIT “Such casual, distant treatment of serious issues left me bitter.” – Little White Lies Aug 25, 2021 Full Review Blithe Spirit (2020) 28% 3/5 EDIT “Blithe Spirit is adequate, but ultimately as forgettable as Condomine's on-screen scribbles. Dan Stevens brings his best basket-case performance, but without more courageous, confident writing, the rest of this glittering cast is wasted.” – One Room With A View Jan 19, 2021 Full Review Luxor (2020) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Atmospheric and mystical, but drifts from the memory a little.” – Little White Lies Nov 5, 2020 Full Review The Secret Garden (2020) 66% 2/5 EDIT “The emotional emptiness of Jack Thorne's script is unworthy of the lush visuals and uplifting music from Dario Marionelli and AURORA. Even the addition of a lovable dog can't save it.” – One Room With A View Oct 27, 2020 Full Review Rose: A Love Story (2020) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Without a little more to anchor their tragic tale and make Rose distinctive, our insight into this fascinating, freezing landscape is limited.” – One Room With A View Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Bad Tales (2020) 47% 3/5 EDIT “The heightening abuse from the father shows an uncomfortable divide, not in class but in affection, which affects the children's fates. In this lies the most salient message, but it is lost in the mess of overdone, illogical cynicism.” – One Room With A View Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Monsoon (2019) 87% 4/5 EDIT “In under 90 minutes, this fleeting character study leaves a lasting, optimistic impression of love and friendship.” – Little White Lies Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Enola Holmes (2020) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A woman writing or directing could have been more daring and nuanced, but it is still smashing to watch Holmes fight for Louis Partridge's male damsel in distress and create her own iconic persona.” – One Room With A View Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Ava (2017) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Though the social politics can be hard to follow, Jabbari's performance is unforgettable, with hurt and rage emanating from her and multiplying as every slight chips away at Ava's sanity.” – One Room With A View Aug 24, 2020 Full Review The Old Guard (2020) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Prince-Bythewood actualizes a nuanced hero's journey led by women and gay characters that refuse to be buried. The otherwise cold atmosphere is warmed by its soundtrack and combined passion.” – One Room With A View Jul 14, 2020 Full Review The Washing Society (2018) 4/5 EDIT “Running like clockwork, the hands hidden from the customer are given centre stage in a beautiful translation of lived experience.” – One Room With A View Jul 7, 2020 Full Review Your Day Is My Night (2013) 5/5 EDIT “Your Day Is My Night is a cultural window with many dimensions, building empathy with viewers in this politically charged environment.” – One Room With A View Jul 6, 2020 Full Review
