Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Kelechi Ehenulo On the surface, Multiverse of Madness is a notable step up from the first film. But the momentum doesn’t hold throughout.

3.5/5
Last Night in Soho (2021) Kelechi Ehenulo You admire Last Night in Soho for its unbridled fun and bravado - a feeling worth watching for. But when it comes to placing it amongst Wright's best, it falls short.

4/5
No Time to Die (2021) Kelechi Ehenulo Given the difficulty at play, what No Time to Die encompasses is a welcomed return to form, re-establishing the essence of the tried and tested formula, but also dares to push Bond into new territory.

4/5
Zola (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo Not every story can translate in the manner Zola does, and Bravo's film proves to be an unapologetic wild ride that's willing to delve into the dark quarters of society.

Soul (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo With all its wonders and beauty, Soul is a significant step forward in representation, but also takes some steps back.

4.5/5
Nomadland (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo In the natural ebb and flow of life, what [Nomadland] represents is an open road slice of Americana, driven to poetic, profound, and empathetic levels by a tour-de-force masterclass by Frances McDormand.

4/5
Another Round (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo It's not as hard-hitting as The Hunt, but in deceptive fashion, Vinterberg has created an unconventional crowd pleaser.

Ammonite (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo A solid yet unspectacular film by Francis Lee, rescued by some flawless performances by Winslet and Ronan.

3/5
I Am Samuel (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo It's a story that needed to be told. At times, it is soulful and simplistic. But in its attempts to build an encapsulating picture of its subject matter, I Am Samuel sadly doesn't go far enough.

Relic (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo As feature-length debuts go, Natalie Erika James weaves together an ambitious project with a strong eye for thematic context. But missed opportunities means not all its concept hits the mark.

3/5
Kajillionaire (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo Not all of Kajillionaire's oddball mechanics worked. But true to Miranda July's style and vision, it is uniquely her.

4.5/5
Wolfwalkers (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo Full of spirit, guile, and wonder, it playfully re-invents the formula and renders that beauty into an endearing, epic and wonderfully enchanting spectacle.

4/5
Shirley (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo There's a method to the madness, and Decker crafts a film primed for multiple watches. It's unpredictable. It doesn't make it easy. But captivating, nevertheless.

3.5/5
The Painter and the Thief (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo It may be style over substance, but the experimental feel it captures means in its own absorbing way, it finds itself to be a unique conversational starter.

3.5/5
Mogul Mowgli (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo It's an exceptional performance by Riz Ahmed. Through rhyme, reason, grit and determined flow, the film falls on his shoulders and rises to the occasion with a flawless display that will rank alongside as a career-best.

4/5
Tenet (2020) Kelechi Ehenulo TENET falters to crystallise all its sophisticated and complex mechanics, but as an enthralling piece of cinema where imagination meets scale and ambition, it is the epitome of Nolan at his best.

4.5/5
The Irishman (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Reiterating my love of Scorsese, it's his ability to experiment that makes him a compelling director. Every film he directs is worth the time, and The Irishman lives up to that billing.

4/5
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Under any other director, this could have been a misguided misstep. But here, as a fitting tribute to Fred Rogers' legacy, with all of its quirky ingenuity and resolute application, just illustrates how truly special this film is.

Just Mercy (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Just Mercy may rely on formulaic structures and predictability to illustrate its point, especially in its highly charged final third, but it is hard to walk away from this film without being moved.

1/5
Wounds (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Honestly, you could search for answers within this film, but you won't find it - the plot is the equivalent of a Where's Wally joke.

3/5
Color Out of Space (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Depending on your mood, Color Out of Space will either be an entertaining yet manic escapade of fun or a disappointing adaptation of Lovecraft's source material.

4.5/5
Waves (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Waves simply cannot be viewed as a passive, cinematic experience; Its upfront, rollercoaster refusal to entertain that perspective just highlights how uniquely rare it is to watch a film that purposely leaves a profound effect on you.

2.5/5
Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Miles Davis was a complex, 'larger than life' personality, and the documentary makes an admirable effort to summarise his life, it just deserved more than this footnote summary.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo As one of the best films of the festival, The Last Black Man in San Francisco reminds you why cinema was invented. With sincere, heartfelt moments that run the spectrum, Talbot's direction is a stellar debut that leaves you breathless.

5/5
Knives Out (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Rian Johnson's Knives Out is an energetic blast, not only a landmark undertaking in skill, craft, nuance, and entertaining hilarity but makes a confident and exceptional call to be considered as one of the best films of the year.

The King (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo For all of its ominous and operatic performances, it's the supporting cast that gives The King its watchable credibility.

The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo ...to give [Armando Iannucci's] latest film credit, he delivers something that is a departure from his previous venture for something that is genuinely from the heart.

Bad Education (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo ...as a slice of compelling entertainment, Bad Education brings out the best in Hugh Jackman, and given its timely relevancy, it goes to show how America still has some learning to do.

Lucky Grandma (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo Praise must be given for its attempted approach to do something different with the genre...But in the end, it's a broad stroke commentary that runs out of steam, resulting in an underwhelming film despite Tsai Chin delivering a career best.

4/5
I Lost My Body (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo There's no doubt that this is a film with a soul. With its 'leap of faith' analogy into the unknown, it's an artful reminder of embracing change and resiliency that accompanies heartbreak and joy.

It: Chapter Two (2019) Kelechi Ehenulo It Chapter Two is a faithful and satisfying conclusion we deserve. It was always going to be a challenge to re-capture lightning in a bottle knowing the bases it had to cover. But it embraces all of its craziness (faults and all)...
