	On Falling (2024)	Connor Lightbody	On Falling is no call-to-arms per se as it rebuffs any attempt to dramatically persuade audiences; it is instead a time capsule of how miserable life is within capitalism in its current form. Posted Mar 21, 2025 Edit critic review
	Baby (2024)	Connor Lightbody	Caetano’s direction is assured enough to sell it and the performances from first-timers Mariano and Teodoro are remarkably confident. Posted Oct 02, 2024 Edit critic review
	Seeking Mavis Beacon (2024)	Connor Lightbody	The film becomes less about Beacon or L'Esperance, remoulding itself as a coming-of-age picture for these women attempting to seek truth in the myth of their youth. Posted Sep 30, 2024 Edit critic review
	Rebel Ridge (2024)	Connor Lightbody	Pierre...is tremendous. Announces himself immediately as he sweatily, muscly, forcibly punctuates every scene, as formidable and imposing a presence on screen as he is star-makingly handsome Posted Sep 30, 2024 Edit critic review
4/5	Diego Maradona (2019)	Connor Lightbody	We see the rise, fall, the seediness and the heart of Maradona, captured meticulously as a tortured love story between a man, a ball and his own mortality Posted Jul 19, 2024 Edit critic review
2.5/5	The Batman (2022)	Connor Lightbody	For a film set deep in the depths of Gotham’s gritty underbelly, the script slowly descends into the chaotic silliness of the characters that it feels so desperate to shed Posted Jul 18, 2024 Edit critic review
3/5	The Greatest Hits (2024)	Connor Lightbody	with two magnetic leads...in Boynton and Min, [The Greatest Hits] is such a pleasant delight, that even if it doesn’t quite nail the harmony, it’s melody is rousing enough Posted Jul 18, 2024 Edit critic review
