The Power of the Dog (2021) 94% 3.5/5 EDIT “A nuanced exploration of toxic performative masculinity and the repercussions of repressed sexual desire that will quite literally eat you alive.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Last Night in Soho (2021) 75% 3/5 EDIT “The movie loses its marbles... we become weary of and frustrated by our protagonist's misadventures.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Nov 28, 2021 Full Review Passing (2021) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film's monochromatic treatment deliberately blurs the colour lines and strengthens the message of racial ambiguity and authenticity, identity and privilege, and Hall executes the material thoughtfully and beautifully.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Nov 18, 2021 Full Review The Addams Family 2 (2021) 28% 2/5 EDIT “Frankly, this is quite a torture to sit through - and not in the intended Addams kind of way.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Pig (2021) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “Pig is a melancholic, thoughtful debut from writer-director Michael Sarnoski, and Cage's raw performance will make your heart ache and remind you how superb he can be with the right material.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Nov 5, 2021 Full Review All U Need is Love (2021) 1.5/5 EDIT “The juvenile slapstick scenarios, sexual innuendoes and cringey overacting are so dated, you may emerge from the cinema wondering if you are really living in 2021.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Nov 5, 2021 Full Review The Card Counter (2020) 88% 2/5 EDIT “It is so anticlimactic, you walk away feeling like you are the one who got played.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Respect (2021) 68% EDIT “Oscar winner Hudson brings the bombast, pathos and heavenly vocal chops in a winning powerhouse performance. It is a pity her star vehicle is hardly a showstopper and lacks soul.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Oct 14, 2021 Full Review The Last Duel (2021) 85% 4/5 EDIT “It is mostly riveting, but can feel rather repetitive at times.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Oct 14, 2021 Full Review The Boss Baby: Family Business (2021) 46% 3/5 EDIT “With its slapstick humour and zippy action, fans should enjoy this manic sugar rush that comes just in time before the end of the school holidays.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Reminiscence (2021) 37% 2.5/5 EDIT “This genre entry is disappointingly middling and ironically, unmemorable.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Old (2021) 50% EDIT “Shyamalan excels in creating and sustaining an unsettling atmosphere... However, Old lacks any emotional introspection about human mortality, save for a fleeting moment of reconciliation between Bernal and Krieps.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Free Guy (2021) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Very unexpectedly, this wildly enjoyable action comedy has turned out to be one of my favourite films of the year.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “Golding can carry a movie and he does have decent acting - and action - chops. Having said that, he also deserves a much better star vehicle than this.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jul 29, 2021 Full Review Gunpowder Milkshake (2021) 60% 3.5/5 EDIT “It is the chemistry and dynamic among the female cast that allows this sweet cinematic confection to go down so smoothly.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jul 21, 2021 Full Review Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) 25% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Looney Tunes brand of slapstick silliness should entertain the little ones, but adults may find such humour painfully unfunny, tiresome and dated.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jul 16, 2021 Full Review The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021) 25% 2.5/5 EDIT “In the end, this does make you wonder how Hollywood A-listers need to protect themselves better from such nonsense.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jun 24, 2021 Full Review F9 The Fast Saga (2021) 59% 3.5/5 EDIT “just when you think the Fast saga has used up everything in its tank, it looks like those wheels will keep on turning to the finish line.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jun 24, 2021 Full Review A Quiet Place Part II (2021) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “[A Quiet Place Part II] ends up treading a very familiar and formulaic path. It is still a nerve-shredding thrill ride of course.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jun 9, 2021 Full Review The Courier (2020) 85% 2/5 EDIT “The cast is fine, but the film never finds the momentum required to reel us in until consequences catch up with the characters and some entertainment value is injected at the end.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jun 9, 2021 Full Review Another Round (2020) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “As Another Round becomes a cautionary tale on the consequences of alcohol abuse, Mikkelsen's potent performance and the ultimately life- affirming message make it all very easy to knock back.” – The New Paper (Singapore) Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Cruella (2021) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “Watching the two Emmas deliciously trade barbs and play up their crackling rivalry is worth the ticket price.” – The New Paper (Singapore) May 28, 2021 Full Review The Woman in the Window (2021) 25% 2.5/5 EDIT “While the central mystery does keep one engaged, the build-up of unintentionally comical Hitchcock homages and cheap shocks ultimately pushes the film over the edge and out the window.” – The New Paper (Singapore) May 24, 2021 Full Review Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) 39% EDIT “Maybe I am just numb to the whole shtick, but the so-called twist ending is not as clever as it thinks, and certainly pales in comparison with the classic jaw-dropper from the first Saw film.” – The New Paper (Singapore) May 14, 2021 Full Review Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021) 63% 2.5/5 EDIT “Those Who Wish Me Dead feels like a 90s-era straight-to-DVD genre film, with standard thrills and spills and questionable plotting. Throw in sub-par forest fire special effects, and this fizzles more than sizzles.” – The New Paper (Singapore) May 14, 2021 Full Review
