Blue Moon (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Those who associate Hawke with the action-film landscape of Training Day...will be astonished at the sustained introspection of this performance, itself a reminder of Hawke's own background as a theatre animal - albeit in plays, not musicals. ” – The Arts Desk Dec 1, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% EDIT “Bale so inhabits the character that we seem to be inside his increasingly deranged mind.” – Associated Press Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 3/5 EDIT “In some ways, it's astonishing: you never question for a moment the creatives' fierce commitment to honoring the vision forged onstage by composer Stephen Schwartz and book writer Winnie Holzman.” – The Arts Desk Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Wicked Little Letters (2023) 80% 2/5 EDIT “A splendid cast struggle to make something coherent out of Wicked Little Letters, the latest film from Thea Sharrock who not that long ago was one of the hottest theatre directors in town.” – The Arts Desk Feb 26, 2024 Full Review The Color Purple (2023) 81% 4/5 EDIT “The movie comes by its grace notes as honestly as it pays obeisance to life at its most grim. In all the ways that matter, The Color Purple once again is here.” – The Arts Desk Jan 30, 2024 Full Review Y tu mamá también (2001) 90% EDIT “While the film's focus is its triangle of ever-shifting intimacies, Emmanuel Lubezki's camera work makes Mexico a character in the movie, too.” – Associated Press Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Beau Is Afraid (2023) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Some trips are worth the destination and, running a fully felt three hours, this film is one of them.” – The Arts Desk May 23, 2023 Full Review Allelujah (2022) 38% 3/5 EDIT “Those of us of a certain vintage will delight in an array of talent, young and old, in the service of a defining figure in English letters whose twilight years find his anger, and affection, jointly intact. A hearty allelujah, indeed, for that. ” – The Arts Desk Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical (2022) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Matthew Warchus's screen iteration of his Roald Dahl-inspired ongoing London hit is an entirely separate triumph in and of itself, smartly adapted and ever so slightly reconceived so as to sneak the occasional nifty political reference.” – The Arts Desk Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Bones and All (2022) 82% 2/5 EDIT “A film that, for all its graphic evisceration, is notably gutless. ” – The Arts Desk Nov 29, 2022 Full Review All My Friends Hate Me (2021) 89% 3/5 EDIT “The antithesis of the warm-and-fuzzy gatherings proffered onscreen over the years by the likes of Kenneth Branagh and Richard Curtis, Andrew Gaynord's film directing debut is compulsively watchable, in an increasingly grim way.” – The Arts Desk Jun 10, 2022 Full Review The Humans (2021) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Karam never loses sight of this family, who are seen to exhibit a decay mirrored in the physical disrepair around them.” – The Arts Desk Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Limbo (2020) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Throughout it all, the British Egyptian El-Masry is a marvel, never once overplaying his hand or italicising the role for effect.” – The Arts Desk Aug 2, 2021 Full Review Off the Rails (2021) 33% 2/5 EDIT “While no one would cite Mamma Mia! as a paragon of writing for our time, it at least makes sense within the particular world it describes. That's more than one can say for this collaboration between Jordan Waller and Jules Williamson.” – The Arts Desk Jul 26, 2021 Full Review French Exit (2020) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Pfeiffer's command of the material is so complete that she keeps you on side even when the material itself gets derailed.” – The Arts Desk Jul 19, 2021 Full Review In the Heights (2021) 94% 5/5 EDIT “The spirit of the film - sweet-natured but never syrupy - is in the commingling of people that itself is moving to behold at a time when we have been so long separated from the social whirl.” – The Arts Desk Jun 22, 2021 Full Review Rare Beasts (2019) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Piper makes a commendably edgy debut as writer-director onscreen while affording herself a stonking star part.” – The Arts Desk May 21, 2021 Full Review Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation (2020) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Throw in footage of film adaptations of their work, ranging from A Streetcar Named Desire... and much more, and you have a riveting mosaic of two men marginalised by society who came to occupy pride of place in the cultural zeitgeist.” – The Arts Desk May 17, 2021 Full Review Moxie (2021) 70% 3/5 EDIT “A teen comedy with a thematic difference, Moxie has enough memorable moments to firmly establish comedian Amy Poehler as a director worth reckoning with in what is her second film...” – The Arts Desk Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Sequin in a Blue Room (2019) 93% 3/5 EDIT “And just as I was tiring of another lingering close-up of Sequin in the shower, I noticed something else: the extent to which the water droplets after a while could serve as a visual equivalent for the young man's tears.” – The Arts Desk Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Six Minutes to Midnight (2020) 36% 2/5 EDIT “It's been some while since I've seen a movie so fully squander a fascinating real-life subject.” – The Arts Desk Apr 2, 2021 Full Review To Olivia (2021) 61% 2/5 EDIT “If it's true that we all become stories in the end, let's hope they end up better told than this one.” – The Arts Desk Feb 22, 2021 Full Review Penguin Bloom (2020) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Two genuinely lovely performances elevate an often-simplistic tale in Penguin Bloom...” – The Arts Desk Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Blithe Spirit (2020) 28% 2/5 EDIT “A muted Arcati only serves to expose the gathering hysteria around her, as ramped up in a final reel in which Elvira devolves into a simpering psychotic and Charles gets sectioned.” – The Arts Desk Jan 16, 2021 Full Review I'm Your Woman (2020) 82% 2/5 EDIT “The long-delayed ending settles for the preposterously sentimental, even as the movie as a whole rewrites a time-honored dictum whereby ignorance turns out to be tedium, not bliss.” – The Arts Desk Dec 14, 2020 Full Review
