The Naked Gun (2025) 87% EDIT “t’s a very, very funny film; so cheerful and light on its feet that it all but erases the outside world for 85 sparkling minutes, replacing it with a better one.” – New Statesman Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “This is a disposable film that makes you feel stupider and sadder the longer it goes on; not the worst film ever made, but one of the more demoralising ones.” – New Statesman Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Tornado (2025) 66% EDIT “The film looks and sounds like a better film than it is... Moments of beauty aren’t enough to make a film worth seeing, and there is something lacking here. Characters speak ponderously and act incomprehensibly.” – New Statesman Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% EDIT “Happily, Ballerina is superb -- a tight two hours of deeply stressful action, with a bodycount that must be in the triple digits before the first half hour is up.” – New Statesman Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% EDIT “Mad About the Boy is undoubtedly a good time at the cinema, and the script -- co-written by Helen Fielding, who was widowed in 2016 -- skilfully balances the comic and the tragic. ” – New Statesman Feb 13, 2025 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% EDIT “As undemanding viewing goes, We Live In Time has much to recommend it. The script is decent, the interiors mouthwatering; it’s nice to see two of Britain’s biggest stars in the same room saying mostly sensible sentences in their native accents for once. ” – New Statesman Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% EDIT “Powell and the howling, hulking twisters that careen about, ruining things, are two good reasons to see this film. Many viewers, I suspect, won’t find it as charming as the original, but it still offers a great ride.” – New Statesman Jul 17, 2024 Full Review The Bikeriders (2023) 79% EDIT “The film can’t dispel an ambient sense of its own pointlessness. Scenes don’t build towards anything, but shuffle decorously by. ” – New Statesman Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Treasure (2024) 41% EDIT “Neither Fry nor Dunham manage to disappear into their roles; and the film never really springs to life, plodding from moment to moment with leaden feet.” – New Statesman Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Theater Camp (2023) 86% 4/5 EDIT “It’s a zippy 90 minutes or so, and packed with jokes.” – Guardian Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Face Down (2023) 3/5 EDIT “The film skilfully shows how brutal acts rarely happen in a vacuum, but reverberate for many years, their darkness passed down the generations like a curse.” – Guardian Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Bawaal (2023) 21% 1/5 EDIT “So lacking in fun, pep, humour and charm that only its spectacularly poor taste stands out.” – Guardian Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023) 63% 3/5 EDIT “This is a film bursting with colour and movement, with talky, dramatic sections ceding to epic dance sequences involving hundreds of impeccably turned-out performers. ” – Guardian Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) 99% EDIT “The novel that Blume long prevented from being made into a film has finally received the big-screen treatment. The result, thank goodness, is lovely: tender, funny, at points very moving, and full of precise and careful performances. ” – New Statesman May 18, 2023 Full Review Over My Dead Body (2023) 2/5 EDIT “In the end the whole thing is quite depressing.” – Guardian Apr 18, 2023 Full Review Much Ado (2022) 83% 2/5 EDIT “This palpably low-budget effort brings many of the problems you might expect: dodgy lighting, dispiriting costumes and a washed-out palette. But there are other issues that can’t quite be attributed to money...” – Guardian Apr 17, 2023 Full Review Julia Scotti: Funny That Way (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The result is a film of real compassion, that will stay with you long after its (zippy) runtime is over.” – Guardian Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Radji (2021) 4/5 EDIT “By the time the community finally gets a verdict in its legal battle to preserve its right to cross the Sweden-Norway border, this is a film that ensures you really care.” – Guardian Feb 28, 2023 Full Review
