Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
7.5/10	Bros (2022)	Damon Smith	Bros warmly embraces the cosy conventions of a boy meets boy love story and tempers emotional gooeyness with the acerbic wit of lead actor Billy Eichner. Posted Dec 17, 2022 Edit critic review
9/10	Living (2022)	Damon Smith	Living wreaks emotional devastation in the lingering silences between characters who have kept calm and carried on since the Second World War. Posted Dec 17, 2022 Edit critic review
7/10	Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)	Damon Smith	Black Panther: Wakanda Forever falls noticeably short of its predecessor in many respects except for an unnecessarily bloated 161-minute running time that could easily have trimmed with a few slashes of the title character’s vibranium-enriched claws. Posted Dec 17, 2022 Edit critic review
8.5/10	Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)	Damon Smith	Glass Onion is an ingenious, self-contained puzzle, which is both funnier and sneakier than its predecessor (and 10 minutes longer)... The script is as tight as the dashing blue cravat knotted around Daniel Craig’s neck. Posted Dec 17, 2022 Edit critic review
8/10	Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical (2022)	Damon Smith	Warchus reunites with composer and lyricist Tim Minchin and scriptwriter Dennis Kelly for a swashboggling, phizz-whizzing screen adaptation that retains the acidic tang of Roald Dahl’s beloved 1988 children’s novel. Posted Dec 17, 2022 Edit critic review
7/10	Violent Night (2022)	Damon Smith	The illegitimate love child of Bad Santa and Die Hard, which compels a hungover and disillusioned Saint Nick to dole out season's beatings when he should be delivering presents to sweetly slumbering children. Posted Dec 17, 2022 Edit critic review
7/10	The Silent Twins (2022)	Damon Smith	The Silent Twins is a surrealistic biopic that lives, breathes (and sometimes chokes) on director Smoczynska's audacious flourishes including a splashy Busby Berkeley-style fantasia replete with synchronised swimmers. Posted Dec 17, 2022 Edit critic review
8.5/10	Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)	Damon Smith	In this opening salvo of four sequels, [Cameron] expands digitally rendered horizons from bioluminescent forests to the moon's teeming oceans and resplendent atolls, providing audiences with a compelling reason to immerse fully in eye-popping 3D and IMAX.

7/10	Eternals (2021)	Damon Smith	The most emotionally intimate Marvel story to date... Posted Oct 24, 2021 Edit critic review
