2/5
Guns Up (2025) Laura Potier At just over 90 minutes, Guns Up still manages to drag, never committing to either heartfelt family drama or pulpy, over-the-top violence.

3/5
The Passengers (2025) Laura Potier Though its unsophisticated structure holds it back, The Passengers quietly resonates in our present moment of collective uncertainty and our search for meaning, reminding us that people are, and always will be, wonderfully messy.

4/5
F1 The Movie (2025) Laura Potier In a cinematic era awash with grim dystopias and brooding antiheroes, F1 is refreshingly earnest. It may run on familiar fuel, but it delivers an unforgettable ride.

The King of Kings (2025) Laura Potier The King of Kings may tell the greatest story ever told, but here, it’s told in the most forgettable way possible.

2/5
The Last Rodeo (2025) Laura Potier The film may look the part of a rugged, nostalgic Western, but the narrative scaffolding is too jumbled and self-indulgent to deliver on its emotional promise.

3/5
A-Town Boyz (2023) Laura Potier Less of a conventional documentary and more of a sociological meditation, Lau’s film leaves you not with resolution, but with the weight of these men’s lived reality.

3/5
Escape from Extinction Rewilding (2024) Laura Potier It doesn’t offer all the answers and sometimes glosses over the thorniest issues, but in a media landscape saturated with despair, its balanced emphasis on resilience, collaboration, and ecological possibility is a powerful reminder: the fight isn’t over.

The Wild Robot (2024) James Hanton Much like DreamWorks' other stellar 2024 entry Orion and the Dark, The Wild Robot treats its intended younger audience with the maturity and emotional intelligence they deserve, but for an even more spectacular result.

The Outrun (2024) James Hanton A stunningly filmed and incredibly powerful look at how addiction can tear you apart from the inside, and the difficulties involved in overcoming it. It is also a deeply respectful and moving portrait of rediscovering home.

4 / 5
Orlando, My Political Biography (2023) James Hanton By blurring the lines between Orlando and his interviewees, Preciado’s film almost resembles a fantasy in the way it elevates the voices and perspectives of the transgender and non-binary communities to fantastical heights.

Sorcery (2023) James Hanton Murray’s sombre, fascinating tale is less about a teenage girl looking for payback than it is about rediscovering native heritage in the face of colonisation, prejudice, and grief.

4 / 5
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) James Hanton A dieselpunk feast for the senses that puts as much emphasis on hearts and minds as things that go boom, this is a thrill-ride story to savour.

3 / 5
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) James Hanton Wingard and the MonsterVerse have nailed how to do the headline-catching, goliath fights. It’s everything else that still needs some work.

2/5
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Dallas King Never mind a death chill, Frozen Empire feels more like the death rattle for the franchise. The sad truth is bustin’ doesn’t really make us feel that good anymore.

4 / 5
Orion and the Dark (2024) James Hanton Kaufman has created a story about codependency, time, and fear that deals with the heavy stuff while never feeling like anything other than a family friendly adventure.

The Beekeeper (2024) James Hanton An appropriation of bee culture.

Ferrari (2023) James Hanton Some nice action sequences and a stand-out performance from Cruz aside, Ferrari barely makes it off the starting grid. Which is a shame, because at its brief, wonderful best, it can be a sight to behold.

Godzilla Minus One (2023) James Hanton Beyond doubt the best Godzilla movie since Ishirō Honda’s seminal first almost 70 years ago.

The Creator (2023) James Hanton Sincere in its execution and with at times a mystifying beauty, as well as some serious thrills, Edwards has yet again rewarded audiences with his leap of faith.

1/5
Expend4bles (2023) Dallas King The definition of Expendable is “of relatively little significance, and therefore able to be abandoned or destroyed.” It used to refer to the disposability of these guns-for-hire. Sadly now, it refers to the franchise as a whole.

Passages (2023) James Hanton A delicately, beautifully, and grippingly realised drama that uses sex in a refreshingly new way

Silent Roar (2023) James Hanton Filmed in 35mm, lending every shot an otherworldly and fuzzy feel as if the boundaries between one world and another are blending together, Silent Roar is a compelling experience that mixes the earthly with the magical.

Is There Anybody Out There? (2023) James Hanton A tear-inducing story of trying to find yourself in those around you and the barriers that can prevent you from doing so, Is There Anybody Out There? captures your attention and never lets go

4/5
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) Dallas King Ultimately it doesn’t quite match the dizzying heights of Fallout, in part to it being part of a bigger story. However, following Top Gun: Maverick, it is another huge win in Cruise’s seemingly one man crusade to save cinema.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) James Hanton In Honour Among Thieves, odd moments of sincerity largely crumble in the face of amusement and outlandishness [...] It is by tapping into the very soul of Dungeons and Dragons that this film manages to stand proud as a worthy namesake.

5 / 5
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) James Hanton Ultra-stylised... John Wick: Chapter 4 is the feather in the series’ cap; a breathtaking moving of the action movie goalposts not seen since Mad Max: Fury Road.

4/5
The Fabelmans (2022) Dallas King An apt pseudonym for one of the greatest storytellers the silver screen has ever known... obviously, not everyone can be “the next Spielberg”, but The Fabelmans will surely inspire any potential filmmakers out there.

3/5
Empire of Light (2022) Dallas King Empire of Light works best when it showcases the wonder of the silver screen, all of it captured through a rose-tinted lens thanks to Roger Deakins... it’s just a shame that this light is dimmed by an unfocused screenplay.

Wendell & Wild (2022) James Hanton Flawed it is, but Wendell & Wild is tonic for the soul of those who love watching stop-motion at its very best. A warming story of outsiders, identity and politics.

Violent Night (2022) James Hanton The script needs some work and there are too many characters, but Wirkola’s film has great fun turning Christmas on its head.

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) Dallas King A whodunnit that feels like Spring Breakers and The Bling Ring had a baby, then had Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None as its nanny.

Official Competition (2021) Dallas King A biting satire... an Oscar-worthy send up of Oscar-worthy films.

McEnroe (2022) Dallas King A fantastic, tell-all look back at, and celebration of, an indisputable icon.

3/5
The Innocents (2021) Dallas King Deeply uncomfortable viewing and as such is bound to elicit some strong opinions. For, despite the title and to quote a certain Queen of Pop, these kids are certainly “not that innocent”.
Posted Nov 13, 2022  Edit critic review
Deep Water (2022) Dallas King The result is an affair as dull and lifeless as one of the ex-lovers’ corpses floating in a river... if Indecent Proposal‘s Robert Redford walks up and offers you $1 million for one viewing of Deep Water, politely decline. It is simply not worth it.

Ambulance (2022) Dallas King In every way, this is the most Michael Bay film he’s ever done. Maximum Bayhem...

Broadcast Signal Intrusion (2021) Dallas King [the film] keeps the audience in the dark as much as it does its protagonist... The viewer inevitably grows more entangled in James’ investigation, and by extension becomes complicit in his increasingly erratic behaviours.

A Banquet (2021) Dallas King An intelligent, thought-provoking horror... Alexander delivers an astounding, star-making performance

3/5
Emily the Criminal (2022) Dallas King Emily the Criminal is a decent thriller driven by an interesting character, but from the faltering pace to the predictable plot, the story overall fails to match the intensity of Plaza’s lead performance.

4/5
Jackass Forever (2022) Dallas King It has felt like COVID-19 and the pandemic has spent the last two years punching us in the balls. Maybe that’s why it is so cathartic to experience the schadenfreude of watching someone else be punched in the balls repeatedly for 96 minutes.

My Old School (2022) Dallas King This documentary will have you shocked, stunned and sniggering like you used to at the back of the classroom. My Old School gets top marks. A class act.

Fresh (2022) Dallas King The ultimate meat-cute... Fresh is wild, wicked and deliciously entertaining. Just don’t see it on a first date, or else there likely won’t be a second.

Don't Look Up (2021) Dallas King Despite some clever gags... the film ultimately runs out of steam and fails to make a deep impact.
Posted Nov 12, 2022  Edit critic review
3/5
West Side Story (2021) Dallas King From a physical and emotional standpoint, the end result is not quite a rumble in the Bronx, more of a fumble in the asphalt jungle. As pure cinematic spectacle however, this version of West Side Story is still pretty finger-clicking good.

4/5
C'mon C'mon (2021) Dallas King This is Phoenix’s warmest and most giving performance to date... It is impossible to leave C’Mon C’Mon and not feel hopeful and uplifted by a genuinely sweet and heartfelt film.
Posted Nov 12, 2022  Edit critic review
3/5
House of Gucci (2021) Dallas King Much like Leto’s performance, House of Gucci is likely to polarise audiences. It is glamourous and gaudy but also tedious and tiresome and, for what is supposed to be a compelling crime story, the result is a confusing mess.

Petite Maman (2021) Dallas King Petite Maman is a little slice of cinematic heaven. C’est vraiment magnifique.

Last Night in Soho (2021) Dallas King Last Night In Soho is far from flawless, but it proves a fun and fascinating step forward in Wright’s oeuvre.

Antlers (2021) Dallas King The plot itself does little to provide the scares, and the entire film is completely devoid of tension and incredibly repetitive.
