3/5
Wicked (2024) Charlotte Harrison It certainly is immersive, the set design and costumes are beautiful. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are fantastic leads... But, where I get unstuck is the story and some of the dialogue.

3.5/5
Gladiator II (2024) Charlotte Harrison Denzel Washington especially seems to be having a blast, hamming it up panto style as a plotting Iago-esque figure who steals every scene he’s in -- no mean feat considering how clunky the majority of the dialogue is. Solid, if overly broody.

4/5
Conclave (2024) Charlotte Harrison The cinematic equivalent of sitting in a comfy leather tub chair, with a whisky on the rocks in one hand and a cigar in the other, a well-crafted drama with thriller and mystery elements. Entertaining, suspenseful and thought-provoking.

3.5/5
Paddington in Peru (2024) Charlotte Harrison Whilst the jungle adventure is entertaining, it doesn’t provide the joy or laughter that we get from the community of Windsor Gardens. It’s not Paddington 2, but then, really, few things are.

3.5/5
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Charlotte Harrison Whilst often exhilarating and with some impeccable action sequences, the whole affair feels a tad bloated and – at times – a little dull. Less furious onslaught and rather mild fury with a side of pontification.

The Garfield Movie (2024) Charlotte Harrison A total misfire that's even worse than you might think.

Passing Strange The Movie (2009) Charlotte Harrison A joyously sprawling concert, with heart and jokes and soul, this show is a very welcome wonder.
Posted May 24, 2024  Edit critic review
IF (2024) Charlotte Harrison Undercooked yet overbaked, it's not fast-paced enough for kids nor witty enough for adults.

Hoard  (2023) Charlotte Harrison A hauntingly vivid mediation on love, loss and longing.

When Harry Met Sally... (1989) Charlotte Harrison There are some films where, once you think of them, you’ll feel an urge for a rewatch. When Harry Met Sally is most definitely one of them.

The Marvels (2023) Charlotte Harrison The Marvels deserved more love than it got and is one of the more accessible, you don't *need* to have watched all/any of the other films to enjoy this science fiction romp following three super women as they team up to save the universe.

Suncoast (2024) Charlotte Harrison A really charming coming-of-age story made all the more heart-rendering considering this is writer-director Laura Chinn‘s fictional account of her life in the early 2000s...

Upgraded (2024) Charlotte Harrison This is one to check out ASAP...
Posted Feb 15, 2024  Edit critic review

Posted Feb 09, 2024  Edit critic review
The Kitchen (2023) Charlotte Harrison Speaking of science fiction, but through a much smaller, almost social realist lens, comes a story of fatherhood and love for the community...

The Creator (2023) Charlotte Harrison Few films in 2023 were in possession of world-building as good as this...
Posted Jan 26, 2024  Edit critic review
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Charlotte Harrison With a runtime like that, I understand why you may have been loathe to see it in the cinema. But you’ve really got no excuse now.
Posted Jan 26, 2024  Edit critic review
Men Up (2023) Charlotte Harrison A sensitive and tender exploration of masculinity & societal expectations.
Posted Jan 16, 2024  Edit critic review

3.5/5
Eileen (2023) Charlotte Harrison The result is an unsettling feel-bad almost-psychological thriller with gothic undertones, driven by two stunningly sensuous performances by actresses at the height of their powers.

Theater Camp (2023) Charlotte Harrison Heart-warming and utterly delightful.

Wish (2023) Charlotte Harrison Wish doesn’t necessarily shine incandescently, but there’s enough of a glow that it’s worth giving a go.
Posted Nov 22, 2023  Edit critic review
Studio 666 (2022) Charlotte Harrison A fun and immensely likeable romp.

4.5/5
May December (2023) Charlotte Harrison May December is lightly told yet packed full of punch; intimately profound, bitterly funny and bitingly sad. An essential watch.

Saltburn (2023) Charlotte Harrison As the window between cinema and v.o.d release gets shorter and shorter, if you’re still yet to see this delicious chaos from Emerald Fennell – now’s your chance.

5/5
All of Us Strangers (2023) Charlotte Harrison I’ve not cried as much at a film as I did with this one. It’s such a tender and carefully told tale of loneliness, of love and loss and longing.

3.5/5
Chasing Chasing Amy (2023) Charlotte Harrison The final product is a personal essay on how important one film can be to someone. What it may lack in a critical voice, it makes up for in abundance with the passion and joy it feels over its subject matter.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) Charlotte Harrison A film with universal appeal, for both kids and those who are kids at heart.

3.5/5
Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) Charlotte Harrison All-in-all, this is a sugary cinematic treat and an excellent addition to the (much-needed) growing number of gay romcoms.

2/5
Haunted Mansion (2023) Charlotte Harrison The really frustrating factor here is that it feels like such an own-goal that should have worked, but really doesn’t.

5/5
Barbie (2023) Charlotte Harrison By the end of Barbie’s 114 minute runtime, which flies by, your face will ache from the laughing and smiling but your heart will hurt from the hurting and raging.

Sicario (2015) Charlotte Harrison Taylor Sheridan has written some of the most underappreciated crime movies of the 21st Century, a run that kicked off with this film.
Posted Oct 10, 2022  Edit critic review
About Time (2013) Charlotte Harrison I’ve got quite a low-tolerance for Richard Curtis movies and am firmly in the anti-Love Actually camp. This one, however, is my kryptonite.
Posted Oct 03, 2022  Edit critic review
Wedding Season (2022) Charlotte Harrison It may tick all the tropes of the romcom bingo card, but when it does it this charmingly – who are we to complain?!?
