Goodbye June (2025) 65% 3/5 EDIT “If, on paper, it’s yet another ‘chaotic family reunite for the holidays due to ailing parent’ scenario, the whole shebang never feels tired. Perhaps that’s down to the enthusiastic, gung-ho energy of Winslet’s filmmaking. ” – metro.co.uk Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “A movie of big ideas, Eternity recalls the high-concept era of The Truman Show or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it’s really rooted in a classic, old-school love triangle.” – metro.co.uk Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 4/5 EDIT “The script may not go deep enough into Christy’s psyche, but Sweeney makes some powerful inroads. Sure, this is a showcase vehicle for her.” – metro.co.uk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 4/5 EDIT “Yes, the third act gets a little convoluted, but you’re powered to the finish by Glen Powell’s absolutely unstoppable star charisma.” – metro.co.uk Nov 12, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 2/5 EDIT “There’s absolutely nothing to engage you with this hollow, boring, airless, and sexless movie.” – metro.co.uk Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “... Owes a lot to the superior likes of ET and My Neighbour Totoro. Still, the climactic “magic of cinema” moment is a real skin-prickler and should ensure this story a future afterlife as someone’s favourite obscure childhood film.” – The Times (UK) Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Amadeus (1984) 90% 5/5 EDIT “It may be titled simply Amadeus but this hugely fun 1980s classic didn’t win eight Oscars for being a straight-up biopic. What made it an enduring cultural touchstone is the framing.” – The Times (UK) Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Dying (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “With the dedication “For my family. The living and the dead”, this isn’t misery porn, it’s unsentimental realism shot through with perfectly pitched gallows humour.” – The Times (UK) Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Gazer (2024) 81% 4/5 EDIT “...what makes [Gazer] so distinctive and exciting to watch, despite the meandering momentum, is that it’s so thrillingly independent.” – The Times (UK) Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Holy Cow (2024) 98% 4/5 EDIT “[Courvoisier's] vivid film is so alive you may believe you could even reach out and touch it — or eat it. ” – The Times (UK) Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 1/5 EDIT “The comedy is below par, the set-pieces distinctly unmemorable and the plot holes are gaping.” – Daily Mail (UK) Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Trolls Band Together (2023) 64% 2/5 EDIT “Aimed to appeal to parents who grew up on 1990s boybands, it features NSYNC’s first original song in 22 years. So, that’s a plus for some, right?” – metro.co.uk Oct 26, 2023 Full Review You Hurt My Feelings (2023) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The film is ultimately saved by a self-awareness of its own absurdly privileged viewpoint.” – metro.co.uk Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Joy Ride (2023) 90% 4/5 EDIT “The directorial debut of Adele Lim can be something of a hot mess, but that’s part of its charm. ” – metro.co.uk Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Smoking Causes Coughing (2022) 94% 4/5 EDIT “This brilliant oddity is truly a film like no other.” – metro.co.uk Jul 7, 2023 Full Review Elemental (2023) 73% 3/5 EDIT “A bit like Inside Out meets Zootropolis – but not as fully worked out as either – it’s a movie of lovely, radiant moments.” – metro.co.uk Jul 7, 2023 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Dead Reckoning Part One is this summer’s best action blockbuster and possibly the best Mission yet – and, yes I do say that every time.” – metro.co.uk Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) 51% 2/5 EDIT “Dominique Fishback totally outclasses her infantile dialogue...” – Metro Newspaper (UK) Jun 10, 2023 Full Review The Flash (2023) 63% 4/5 EDIT “We’re all feeling a bit multi-versed out right now in the wake of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. But The Flash still speeds along nicely – no mean feat when it’s 2 hours 25min long.” – Metro Newspaper (UK) Jun 10, 2023 Full Review The Boogeyman (2023) 60% 2/5 EDIT “The Boogeyman disappoints with standard scares and nonsensical rules.” – Metro Newspaper (UK) Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Master Gardener (2022) 71% 2/5 EDIT “The atmosphere is initially alluring yet, as the violence begins, this becomes not the film you'd naturally expect or desire — a stiff, stilted drama.” – Daily Mail (UK) May 26, 2023 Full Review My Name Is Happy (2022) 3/5 EDIT “... A tough, intimate, and painful watch. ” – Daily Mail (UK) May 26, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% 4/5 EDIT “The new Little Mermaid is no classic but it's a dependable half- term treat... or rather feast, given that it runs for almost an hour longer than the original.” – Daily Mail (UK) May 26, 2023 Full Review Fast X (2023) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Seeing what outrageous outfit he’ll wear next is the movie’s greatest pleasure. Otherwise it’s just an eye-wateringly expensive exercise in wheel-spinning. Let’s hope part 2 fully kicks the fun into gear.” – Metro Newspaper (UK) May 18, 2023 Full Review Book Club: The Next Chapter (2023) 46% 2/5 EDIT “What should be an empowering big screen moment for a female ensemble cast whose average age is 77 is sadly let down by the lazy, by-the-book script.” – Metro Newspaper (UK) May 18, 2023 Full Review
