4/5
Send Help (2026) Doug Jamieson A wickedly entertaining dark comedy that finds surprising emotional bite in its lunacy, and for anyone who has ever survived a toxic workplace, it hits especially hard.

4.5/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Doug Jamieson It is a film of ferocious intensity and unexpected tenderness, one that understands that chaos and grace are not opposites but uneasy companions.

3/5
Anaconda (2025) Doug Jamieson It's obviously not Oscar material, but it is a reminder that sometimes a movie can simply be a good time, and that has value too.

4/5
KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Doug Jamieson Pure pop cinema in the very best sense, it's vibrant, empowering, and impossible not to smile along with.

4/5
Sirāt (2025) Doug Jamieson A propulsive sensory overload that defies convention at every turn.

4/5
Pillion (2025) Doug Jamieson An unexpectedly tender, quietly provocative love story that refuses to sensationalise its subject matter while also refusing to apologise for it.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Housemaid (2025) Doug Jamieson A twist-filled, high camp psychological thriller that knows how to push the right buttons and revels in doing so.

3/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Doug Jamieson A reminder that spectacle can only carry a story so far. Cameron remains unmatched in his ability to create worlds, but this time, the narrative feels like it is treading water rather than forging something truly new.

4.5/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Doug Jamieson A character portrait that embraces contradiction, a period piece that feels startlingly current, and a comedy that flirts with tragedy without losing its sense of fun.

3.5/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Doug Jamieson Both a heartfelt crowdpleaser and a tearjerking romance, it finds emotional truth in a familiar melody.

3/5
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) Doug Jamieson Silly, sweet, and a little stuck in the past

4/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) Doug Jamieson In the end, 'Zootopia 2' succeeds by staying true to what made the original so beloved while expanding its world in meaningful ways. It is heartfelt, clever, visually gorgeous, and thematically rich.

3.5/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) Doug Jamieson Cemented by two stunning performances from its leading ladies, it is a stirring and often breathtaking conclusion, but not entirely a graceful one.
Posted Nov 18, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Doug Jamieson A glossy, high-energy caper that delivers what audiences came for: wild illusions, clever twists, a charismatic cast, and the kind of buoyant, popcorn-friendly fun that’s hard to resist.
Posted Nov 12, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Running Man (2025) Doug Jamieson Slick, loud, and visually charged, Edgar Wright’s new version feels both too much and not nearly enough. It moves fast but goes nowhere, repeating itself until its thrills run dry.

3/5
Eleanor the Great (2025) Doug Jamieson In the end, the film expectedly belongs to Squibb, whose presence alone turns what could have been a sentimental misfire into something genuinely touching. Watching her is a gift, and that’s always more than enough.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) Doug Jamieson Directors Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han Jin Kuang capture the sensation of childhood not through plot or dialogue but through textures, sounds and shifting light. The result is a sensory reverie that celebrates wonder and confusion in equal measure.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) Doug Jamieson Despite the pedigree of its cast and the boldness of its premise, the film feels like an overlong lecture disguised as cinema. Olivier Assayas crafts a chilly, cerebral portrait of modern power, but it’s a film easier to admire than to endure.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Adulthood (2025) Doug Jamieson It’s the kind of movie where you can see the ideas on the page, but none of them make it to the screen with coherence. Despite a promising cast, it stumbles from one misjudged scene to the next, lost in search of a rhythm it never finds.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Easy's Waltz (2025) Doug Jamieson It’s a modest Vegas fable about second chances and midlife drift, more diverting than dramatic, more charming than memorable. There are moments when its languid rhythm feels deliberate, even hypnotic, and others when it simply feels lost.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Sun Rises on Us All (2025) Doug Jamieson It’s uneven and occasionally overwrought, but Xin Zhilei's commanding performance elevates every faltering moment, reminding you that great acting can sometimes rescue an entire film.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Sacrifice (2025) Doug Jamieson A frustrating, tonally disjointed mess that mistakes noise for meaning and ends with one of the most baffling finales of the year.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Nouvelle Vague (2025) Doug Jamieson A movie bursting with style, wit, and cinephile glee, though one that occasionally confuses adoration for insight.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Bad Apples (2025) Doug Jamieson Anchored by a spectacularly unhinged performance from Saoirse Ronan, this is a wicked satire about the breaking point of a profession that demands infinite patience in exchange for none at all.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Scarlet (2025) Doug Jamieson As dazzling as it all looks, the beauty feels hollowed out by a story that can’t sustain its scale.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Swiped (2025) Doug Jamieson In the end, 'Swiped' feels like its own product: streamlined, focus-grouped, and instantly forgettable.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Tuner (2025) Doug Jamieson What begins as a modest character study about a soft-spoken piano tuner unfolds into a witty, quick-witted caper that hums with rhythm, humour, and invention
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Couture (2025) Doug Jamieson While the film doesn’t fully land its sprawling ensemble or emotional arcs, it succeeds as a textured portrait of the people hidden beneath the glamour.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Doug Jamieson The result is both gripping and funny, a mid-sized thriller powered by Bill Skarsgård’s magnetic central performance and Gus Van Sant’s playful sense of tone.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Hedda (2025) Doug Jamieson It’s campy, sexy and knowingly theatrical, carried by Thompson’s wicked charisma and DaCosta’s visual imagination.
Posted Oct 25, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Christophers (2025) Doug Jamieson The film is confined, conversational, and intellectual, yet occasionally too restrained for its own good.
Posted Oct 25, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Saipan (2025) Doug Jamieson It’s a film that may follow a familiar sports-biopic template, but it does so with intelligence, empathy, and a pair of powerhouse performances at its centre.
Posted Oct 25, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Motor City (2025) Doug Jamieson A pulpy revenge thriller that doesn’t care much for subtlety but absolutely thrives on mood and texture.
Posted Oct 25, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Eagles of the Republic (2025) Doug Jamieson The film’s ambition is undeniable, and its themes of artistic responsibility and moral compromise are timely and important. But those virtues only make its flaws more glaring.
Posted Oct 25, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Regretting You (2025) Doug Jamieson A tangle of soap-opera theatrics, tonal confusion, and an overabundance of tears, all performed by a talented cast doing their best to keep this mess afloat.
Posted Oct 22, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Primate (2025) Doug Jamieson An unapologetically wild and deliciously gory creature feature that blends animal-attack horror with home-invasion tension and just enough self-awareness to make it go down smooth.
Posted Oct 20, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Die My Love (2025) Doug Jamieson A haunting, hypnotic descent into postpartum psychosis, performed with blistering intensity by Jennifer Lawrence.
Posted Oct 19, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Bugonia (2025) Doug Jamieson A chilling satire that feels halfway between psychological thriller and absurdist comedy, dissecting the paranoia, disinformation, and class rage of the modern world.
Posted Oct 18, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Black Phone 2 (2025) Doug Jamieson A worthy sequel that wisely resists retreading the same steps. Instead, it widens the scope, deepens the lore, and hands the story to a new lead who brings fire and vulnerability in equal measure.
Posted Oct 15, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Doug Jamieson A film that’s as haunting as it is frustrating. You can admire its mood, craftsmanship, and one of the year’s best lead performances, even as you wish it had the courage to dig deeper.
Posted Oct 14, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
TRON: Ares (2025) Doug Jamieson The film mistakes visual polish for substance, as if an endless parade of glowing discs and shimmering code could make up for a lack of curiosity about the story it’s trying to tell.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Hamlet (2025) Doug Jamieson A modern tragedy that feels alive, relevant, and urgent, anchored by a shattering performance from Riz Ahmed.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Good Boy (2025) Doug Jamieson What begins as a haunted house story gradually transforms into something far more profound: a ghost story about grief, illness, and the unconditional love that binds two souls together until the very end.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Sound of Falling (2025) Doug Jamieson It is a difficult, sometimes alienating film, but also one of immense power, anchored by extraordinary performances and crafted with artistry that leaves you shaken.

3/5
Rental Family (2025) Doug Jamieson While the film itself occasionally falters, leaning too heavily on sentimentality and a loose, episodic structure, Brendan Fraser’s performance elevates the material into something quietly resonant.
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Doug Jamieson A stylishly empty vessel that coasts on atmosphere and Colin Farrell’s electric work, but never really convinces us it has anything deeper to say.
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
5/5
One Battle After Another (2025) Doug Jamieson It's bravura filmmaking at its most alive, where every frame feels electrified, every choice deliberate, every moment vibrating with purpose.
Posted Sep 23, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Smashing Machine (2025) Doug Jamieson A film that promises unflinching honesty but too often retreats to safer dramatic beats, landing as an ambitious yet frustrating entry in the sports biopic genre.
Posted Sep 21, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Arco (2025) Doug Jamieson Visually dazzling and conceptually ambitious, even if its story sometimes falters under the weight of its own ideas.
Posted Sep 18, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Poetic License (2025) Doug Jamieson A film that may superficially resemble countless midlife malaise comedies, but under Maude Apatow’s direction, feels fresher, funnier, and more poignant than its description might suggest.
