In the Mood for Love (2000)
92%
EDIT
“Much of its charm comes from its own period setting of 1962. The rest of its considerable appeal comes from the absorbing performances of Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, the ravishing cinematography... and Wong's own cleverly understated screenplay.” –

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

2/5
EDIT
“You can round up the old gang for the first time in three decades, mix them up with the new gang who’ve been at it for the past seven years, but if you can’t give them all decent dialogue and a powerful story… well, it’s just not going to happen.” –

Lancaster (2022)
100%
4/5
EDIT
“As well as telling a fascinating story, they get the all-important tone just right, certainly marking the bravery and skill of the aircrew but also quietly acknowledging that the raids of Bomber Command remain a sensitive issue almost eight decades on.” –
