28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Jack King Fiennes makes it all sing, and it's impossible to imagine an equally brilliant version of The Bone Temple without him.

The Rip (2026) Jack King There are the movies that are factory-made to be little more than the cinematic equivalent of a dirty burger: hardly the most nutritious item on the menu, but by god, are they delicious. The Rip... is one of them.

Marty Supreme (2025) Jack King Across the board, Chalamet's performance showcases an actor in his absolute pomp. When he storms across the screen in that jittery, hyper-adrenalised manner that so often denotes a Safdie protagonist, you can't look away.

Blue Moon (2025) Ben Allen Hawke doesn’t quite disappear in Blue Moon, though that’s the cliché with these kinds of roles. But he is absolutely convincing – pathetic, funny, sad and self-aware.

Christy (2025) Jake Kring-Schreifels David Michod’s conventional but compelling biopic, which hinges on Sweeney’s nuanced, and physical performance. The movie wouldn’t be nearly as good or unnerving without her.

I Swear (2025) Ben Allen In less capable hands, Davidson would feel like a caricature, but Aramayo manages to make his Tourette's tics clearly involuntary, playing both the funny and the sad bits beautifully.

One Battle After Another (2025) Jack King Sean Penn channels Charlie Chaplin into a career-best parody of action man machismo. (He immediately joins Daniel Day-Lewis, Tom Cruise and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the canon of Great PTA Performances.)

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Iana Murray The most vital film of the decade.
Posted Sep 09, 2025  Edit critic review
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Ben Allen It is, to put it mildly, completely f---ing terrifying.
Posted Sep 02, 2025  Edit critic review
The Smashing Machine (2025) Jack King It's difficult to recall another time when the actor has been so outwardly vulnerable on screen. You often forget it's Johnson at all, in part due to the prosthetics behind which he is subtly masked, but also because he is so emotionally transformed.
Posted Sep 01, 2025  Edit critic review
The Naked Gun (2025) Jack King Director Akiva Schaffer, of the Lonely Island fame, has completely nailed it: the silly tone, the bawdry sense of humour, the surreal sight gags.
Posted Jul 30, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Jack King The first family's much-belated debut feels like a fine return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Posted Jul 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Jack King What it lacks in evolution, Rebirth makes up for in care, beauty and thrills. It's the best we could've expected from the seventh instalment in a franchise that should've died out 65 million years ago.

Grenfell: Uncovered (2025) Killian Faith-Kelly While keeping the stories of individual victims completely central to its focus, it zooms out from the tragedy to show that its true causes, and their implications, reach far beyond the wreck of a west London tower block.
Posted Jun 26, 2025  Edit critic review
28 Years Later (2025) Jack King This is not one of those cookie-cutter horrors where our characters are two-dimensional printouts on flimsy bits of cardboard, but fully fleshed out people who we care about, and feel for.
Posted Jun 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Back in Action (2025) Killian Faith-Kelly The film is bad. It's like The Incredibles if everything about The Incredibles was worse. But Jamie Demetriou is absolutely innocent. Let's hope the next thing he's in has a lot more of him.
Posted Jan 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger (2025) Killian Faith-Kelly It’s like the real story’s been passed through the filter of the child who tells his classmates he fought a dragon at the weekend. What’s most frustrating is that it doesn’t need to do this.
Posted Jan 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Carry-On (2024) Jack King Taron Egerton makes for a bloody good Bruce Willis, and Jaume Collet-Serra's film is a fun watch, too: it has a story that keeps itself moving, muscular action, and a smart, taut script whose characters we actually care about.
Posted Dec 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Conclave (2024) Killian Faith-Kelly It's silly. It’s fun! And it's allowed to be those things. Whether it means to be or not.
Posted Dec 03, 2024  Edit critic review
Hot Frosty (2024) Jack King Amid its galaxy-brained silliness is a genuinely beautiful message about the human experience, and how we never forget the people we loved. Christmas is for little else.
Posted Nov 18, 2024  Edit critic review
Gladiator II (2024) Jack King Stylish, sexy, and just a little homoerotic.
Posted Nov 12, 2024  Edit critic review
Will & Harper (2024) Killian Faith-Kelly Ferrell isn’t the most obvious candidate for trans rights advocacy... But this is perhaps exactly why his voice is such a perfectly potent one in making the case for supporting trans people.
Posted Sep 27, 2024  Edit critic review
Alien: Romulus (2024) Jack King It's more like a warp-speed remix, Álvarez the club DJ putting his own distinct touch on familiar bangers with the singular object of getting our blood pumping as quickly as possible.
Posted Aug 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Ben Allen It’s not quite the silliest MCU plot ever, but nearly two decades into this whole thing, it’s one of the least engaging. It’s phoned in, like the writers have realised that plot is no longer what audiences are turning up for.
Posted Jul 24, 2024  Edit critic review
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) Jack King Not only is it technically well-made, it makes you feel things, which is why people still go to the movies, by and large.
Posted Jun 27, 2024  Edit critic review
The Bikeriders (2023) Jesse Hassenger That interplay [between fantasy and reality], including Nichols’ ability to bring out the dusky beauty amidst all that noise and exhaust, holds The Bikeriders together when the story itself threatens to wander off into vague self-mythologizing.
Posted Jun 21, 2024  Edit critic review
Godzilla Minus One (2023) Iana Murray Despite the film’s charming background and ostensible small size, Minus One is tapping into the same thrills of blockbuster filmmaking with the support of hard-earned pathos.
Posted Jun 06, 2024  Edit critic review
The Apprentice (2024) Iana Murray Director Ali Abbasi certainly has guts -- his film is an unflattering portrait with a surprising, well-judged turn from Sebastian Stan at its centre.
Posted May 29, 2024  Edit critic review
Emilia Pérez (2024) Rory Doherty Rather than turning his story into farce, Audiard heightens all the sincere emotions to the point that expressing them as poppy earworms or electric dance numbers feels a natural fit.
Posted May 29, 2024  Edit critic review
Bird (2024) Iana Murray Keoghan is at his best when he acts small, and in Bird, he delivers a lived-in performance that’s low-key but no less textured and alive. It might just be his greatest performance yet.
Posted May 29, 2024  Edit critic review
Megalopolis (2024) Iana Murray Very little of Megalopolis makes sense, but it’s nonetheless fascinating to watch the story of a man playing god against all odds and witness Coppola attempt the very same. It is ludicrous and awe-inspiring. Most importantly, it is never boring.
Posted May 21, 2024  Edit critic review
The Kitchen (2023) Jack King The Kitchen is a good, timely film, but without Wright's concreting presence, you wonder if the foundations would be as brittle as the tower block in which it's set. Thank god they transferred him in.
Posted Jan 26, 2024  Edit critic review
The Holdovers (2023) Lucy Ford A bittersweet and funny drama, the kind designed for elevated family Christmas viewing and it's also pretty intimate, with rarely more than a few people on screen at the same time and its flashiest moments reserved for 70s-ifying its Boston set pieces.
Posted Jan 11, 2024  Edit critic review
Anatomy of a Fall (2023) Jack King The crowning example of the recent renaissance for the ‘90s-style legal thriller.
Posted Jan 11, 2024  Edit critic review
Wonka (2023) Lucy Ford It's the sort of movie that kids (and their parents) will remember watching at the cinema in years to come. And yes, it will give you a warm and gooey feeling, like Lindt chocolate at Christmas.
Posted Dec 08, 2023  Edit critic review
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) Jack King Maybe the fans are satiated by reams of lore, but we wanted blood. Even if it was a bit of a gory romp, that wouldn't do much to paper over the technical cracks, like some of its shoddy editing. Josh Hutcherson innocent, of course.
Posted Nov 10, 2023  Edit critic review
Bottoms (2023) Daisy Jones It’s confounding, haywire, absurd and spectacular... Bottoms has all the makings of a cult classic in the sense that it is beloved by many, and misunderstood or disliked by everyone else.
Posted Nov 09, 2023  Edit critic review
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) Jack King The movie whips past in a moment, a result of the combined pace of the dialogue and sets that shift and morph endlessly; it's like trying to keep up with a speeding hare on your hands and feet.
Posted Sep 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Dumb Money (2023) Patrick Sproull Despite The Big Short-ish pace and rapid-fire gags, there's a sadness hanging over Dumb Money.
Posted Sep 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Rotting in the Sun (2023) Jack King It's also sexy, which feels strangely unfamiliar despite the fact the sex scene is making something of a comeback.
Posted Sep 21, 2023  Edit critic review
The Killer (2023) Jack King Fincher deserved it all [appaluse] and then some for The Killer's dark, noir-ish, eminently watchable kill-fest.
Posted Sep 08, 2023  Edit critic review
Priscilla (2023) Jack King Elordi is quieter, subtler, as is Priscilla, but you never think he's not the King.
Posted Sep 08, 2023  Edit critic review
Past Lives (2023) Daisy Jones Aesthetically, too, the film is gorgeous -- like something you want to reach out and touch.
Posted Sep 08, 2023  Edit critic review
Ferrari (2023) Xuanlin Tham Ferrari regrettably splinters into two films. One is a genuinely hold-your-breath racing movie that viscerally captures all of motorsport’s inherently cinematic, spellbinding qualities. The second is a disappointingly muted interpersonal drama.
Posted Sep 01, 2023  Edit critic review
Choose Love (2023) Patrick Sproull It’s a bit like playing The Sims if you were only given access to the most boring options imaginable.
Posted Sep 01, 2023  Edit critic review
Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story (2023) Jack King It's Ford vs. Ferrari with a drive-thru's worth of corporate merchandising.
Posted Aug 18, 2023  Edit critic review
Barbie (2023) Lucy Ford Barbie is a movie about existentialism. It's about questioning who we are... Behind the glitter and the bleach-blonde bouffants, Barbie and Ken are on opposite but equal journeys to personal enlightenment.
Posted Jul 19, 2023  Edit critic review
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Hannah Strong This might not be the film that most audiences might expect from Scorsese, but at this stage in his career, it’s thrilling to see the master filmmaker continue to innovate and deliver the unexpected.
Posted May 25, 2023  Edit critic review
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Jack King [Guardians Vol. 3 is] the best Marvel since Avengers: Endgame. That may not immediately read as high praise given the dearth of quality in the interim, but the film has made one thing very clear: James Gunn really, really knows what he's doing.
Posted May 04, 2023  Edit critic review
Money Shot: The Pornhub Story (2023) Lucy Ford Money Shot is smart in overloading the front end of its documentary with the deeply unsexy reality of what it takes to get our rocks off.
