The Human Voice (2020) 97% 5/5 EDIT “The scenes are beautifully curated, almost like they have come from the kitsch stylings of a Wes Anderson film, but with all the Hollywood glamour of the 1930s.” – Daily Express (UK) May 19, 2021 Full Review The Father (2020) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Truly, Florian has absolutely shown his might as a filmmaker, with his cast deserving every plaudit they get.” – Daily Express (UK) Feb 25, 2021 Full Review To Olivia (2021) 61% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is fairly brief, not even coming in at 90 minutes, which does not seem a fair enough amount of time to cover the events of those tumultuous years.” – Daily Express (UK) Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Greenland (2020) 78% 4/5 EDIT “All in all, this is absolutely worth watching despite, at first glance, it purely fulfilling all the stereotypes of a disaster film.” – Daily Express (UK) Feb 5, 2021 Full Review Twist (2021) 9% 2/5 EDIT “The moral of the story is skewed, and ultimately the film does not pack anywhere near as much punch as this story should.” – Daily Express (UK) Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Soul (2020) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Soul can remind us that being present with those we love, looking around at nature and the everyday turnings of our world is all we need to feel grateful for what we have, rather than focusing on that which we may have lost.” – Daily Express (UK) Jan 4, 2021 Full Review Saint Maud (2019) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Glass makes a stunning debut as she shows a woman escaping the shame of her past and dealing with the loneliness of her present by attempting to shape the future, with devastating consequences.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Kajillionaire (2020) 90% 4/5 EDIT “For those who love a quirky comedy, this is definitely one to see.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Decker's style of creating ominous tension while using soft focus lenses adds to the sense of danger and uncertainty which Shirley poses, almost as if trying to recreate one of the author's novels themselves.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Supernova (2020) 89% 5/5 EDIT “All in all, this simple, heartbreaking tale of love will leave you blubbering in your seat, yet hopeful of the way we, as mere humans in a vast supernova, are able to love.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Doctor Sleep (2019) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Eventually even the biggest Stephen King fans may find themselves checking their watch and worrying about whether they can make it to the Overlook without a loo break.” – Daily Express (UK) Oct 30, 2019 Full Review The Lighthouse (2019) 90% 5/5 EDIT “Leave two men on an island together, and things will likely become fraught very quickly - and this film takes that to a whole new level.” – Daily Express (UK) Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Benjamin (2018) 90% 5/5 EDIT “A hilariously knowing tale of love, identity, and monks.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 26, 2018 Full Review A Private War (2018) 87% 5/5 EDIT “While the idea of a biopic about a journalist may not appeal to many, A Private War does something spectacularly different with the genre which keeps the audience on the edge of their seats...” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Peterloo (2018) 67% 3/5 EDIT “There are some truly harrowing moments of shock, slightly sullied with some on the nose dialogue, but ultimately this story captures the political fever of the time and how that can so easily translate in a modern context.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Suspiria (2018) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria has turned the horror genre on its head, with powerful women at the centre of a suspenseful, twisted story.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Wild Rose (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Jessie Buckley gives a stand-out performance in Wild Rose, an identity story about choice, sacrifice, and knowing who you really are.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 17, 2018 Full Review They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Jackson's film is a true testament to those who fought valiantly in the war, and will do those who narrate and those to whom he dedicates his film, entirely proud.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 17, 2018 Full Review The Little Stranger (2018) 64% 4/5 EDIT “The film is subtle and slow moving, with director Lenny Abrahamson using a soft lens to give the period piece an air of Gothic mystery as the atmosphere grows more tense and unnerving.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 14, 2018 Full Review
