3/5
The Well (2025) Richard Crouse Although set in the future, The Well resonates with timely themes of ecological disaster, isolationism and polarization.

1.5/5
Mercy (2026) Richard Crouse A movie about AI that feels as though it was written by AI, the slick Mercy is a hacky, old school detective story with a technological twist whose high-octane imagery can’t disguise its fatal flaws.

H Is for Hawk (2025) Richard Crouse H is For Hawk’s unconventional grief drama requires patience from the audience. It is slow, but the emotional payoff—and some wonderful nature photography—gives viewers something to sink their talons into.

3/5
Honey Bunch (2025) Richard Crouse A gothic, unsettling study of devotion and sacrifice, Honey Bunch starts off odd and doubles down on its weirdness throughout its running time.

4/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Richard Crouse A mix of brutality and compassion, and laced with dark humour, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple finds empathy amid chaos. That it provides thrills—and one fiery, knock-out sequence… you’ll know it when you see it—is an added bonus.

4/5
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Richard Crouse Echoes of gritty 1970s cinema flow through Dead Man’s Wire, bringing back memories of classic character driven crime dramas like Dog Day Afternoon.

3.5/5
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Richard Crouse The Testament of Ann Lee is a historical musical, but it’s no Les Misérables or Hamilton. The music takes a turn from Broadway to traditional Shaker hymns that transcends theatricality to become a blissful display of faith.

3/5
Charlie the Wonderdog (2025) Richard Crouse The G-rated action is less frenetic than some recent animated offerings—I’m looking at you Minions!—but still high-energy enough to engage young attention spans.

3/5
Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Richard Crouse Three stories united by the theme of family dynamics, Father Mother Sister Brother may feel slow for viewers expecting family drama writ large, but the various awkward interactions on display will certainly ring bells for many theatre goers.

3/5
The Choral (2025) Richard Crouse The Choral is an old-fashioned diversion about music’s ability to bridge societal gaps, buoyed by a terrific lead performance by Ralph Fiennes.

3.5/5
Rosemead (2025) Richard Crouse Rosemead gives star Lucy Liu her first leading role in a drama, and she makes the most of it. Raw and ultimately harrowing, this downbeat drama features performance of her career.

3.5/5
We Bury the Dead (2024) Richard Crouse We Bury the Dead has some great and gory zombie moments for undead aficionados, but despite the gore, it’s the movie’s take on loss and grieving that sticks.

3.5/5
Anaconda (2025) Richard Crouse Anaconda is a silly but amiable and enjoyable story of following your dreams that lovingly pokes fun at the original 1997 movie, while simultaneously celebrating its cheeseball charm

3.5/5
No Other Choice (2025) Richard Crouse No Other Choice isn’t a delicate movie. It’s a hair overlong and delivers its message with the subtlety of a slap across the face, but the story’s unpredictability is very entertaining.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Richard Crouse Song Sung Blue is a conventional biopic about unconventional dreamers. When it’s a got a good beat, you can dance to it but when it shifts focus from the music it hits sour notes despite Jackman and Hudson’s best efforts.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Richard Crouse At 2 hours and 29 minutes Marty Supreme is an epic, Sammy Glick-style story of a guy who feeds off confidence and daring. A grand tale of aspiration and consequences, à la Boogie Nights and Goodfellas, it’s one of the year’s best films.

4/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Richard Crouse Visually spectacular, Avatar: Fire and Ash is packed with big action set pieces, smaller, more intimate family moments, and one, "I am Spartacus" scene, and a new, unsettling villain but otherwise recycles old ideas under the slick CGI veneer.

3.5/5
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) Richard Crouse Packed to the gills with silly visual gags and absurdist wordplay, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is aimed at kids and stoned adults.

Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Richard Crouse At a quick 95 gory minutes, Silent Night, Deadly Night is a naughty season treat for those with murder and mayhem on their Christmas list.

3.5/5
Dust Bunny (2025) Richard Crouse Dust Bunny trusts that kids don’t have to be molly coddled, that they can handle some darker themes, particularly when they are presented with a great deal of offbeat humor.

2/5
Ella McCay (2025) Richard Crouse A mix of family drama and political underdog tale, Ella McCay is a kernel of a good idea with a good cast wrapped up in an over-stuffed melodrama.

3.5/5
The Secret Agent (2025) Richard Crouse Richly layered with political commentary, absurdist humor and thrills, The Secret Agent is an entertainingly convoluted tale of resistance against Brazil’s authoritarian government circa 1977.

3.5/5
Merrily We Roll Along (2025) Richard Crouse Merrily We Roll Along feels lodged somewhere between a live stage show and a film. Still, while the grand overall effect of the Broadway show may get lost in the shuffle, it's a treat to get a close look at these committed performances.

1.5/5
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Richard Crouse After a strong start, it’s a shame the rest of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 relies on jump scares and toothless violence instead of the inventive horror of the first fifteen minutes.

3.5/5
Meadowlarks (2025) Richard Crouse Fueled by terrific performances, Meadowlarks is an emotional look at the devastating personal effects that came as a result of the Sixties Scoop, but is a hopeful, heartfelt movie, that suggests the fabric of family can be mended no matter how frayed.

4/5
Hamnet (2025) Richard Crouse Intimate and raw, Hamnet is an open wound; a profound portrait of heartache that is as uncompromising as it is emotionally involving in its depiction of a mother’s loss of a child.

3.5/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) Richard Crouse A mishmash of puns, old-school movie references and action delivered at a supersonic pace, Zootopia 2 threatens to careen out of control but strays on track to deliver a family friendly crime caper with plenty of laughs and heart.

3.5/5
Rental Family (2025) Richard Crouse Low key and heartfelt, Rental Family succeeds because of star Brendan Fraser’s innate ability to portray an expressive soulfulness without slipping into performative mawkishness.
Posted Nov 20, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Jay Kelly (2025) Richard Crouse Jay Kelly is not a Hollywood noir; it’s a Hollywood Melancholy. It’s slightly overlong, but in its exploration of what is important in life, and not just the life of a movie star, but all lives, it expertly rides the line between humor and heartbreak.

4/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) Richard Crouse Wicked: For Good is a heart wrenching conclusion to the story, powered by show stopping performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, emotional depth and big booming Broadway show tunes about friendship, identity, and sacrifice.

3.5/5
In Your Dreams (2025) Richard Crouse A story of a fractured family wrapped up as a surreal adventure delivers some kid friendly thrills, but at its heart is a grounded story of acceptance and the understanding that not every family has to be perfect

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Richard Crouse Despite a new crew of magicians added to the cast, there’s very little that feels new, fresh or magical about Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.

3/5
The Running Man (2025) Richard Crouse A survival thriller that puts a human face on the story’s themes of economic coercion, personal sacrifice and class Inequality, The Running Man is slick, high-energy satire laced grim social messages.

3/5
Christy (2025) Richard Crouse Part Star 80, part Raging Bull, Christy’s gritty, overlong, story of struggle and resilience is on the ropes, but is elevated by a transformative, knockout star turn from star Sydney Sweeney.

3/5
Nuremberg (2025) Richard Crouse Nuremberg is a handsomely mounted, old-fashioned drama that aims to comment on timely issues but its melodramatic presentation doesn’t deliver the emotional impact to accompany its warnings.

2.5/5
Die My Love (2025) Richard Crouse Jennifer Lawrence’s portrait of psychological collapse is raw and challenging cinema but as a vehicle for the performance Die My Love’s mix of reality and delusion falters.

3.5/5
Train Dreams (2025) Richard Crouse Train Dreams is a lovely, contemplative movie about the attempts to understand the ephemeral aspects of life. There’s no spectacle, no grandstanding, just intimate, poignant grace notes of one man’s existence.

3.5/5
Anniversary (2025) Richard Crouse Anniversary is a provocative, timely drama that swings for the fences, and while the portrait it paints of extremism is vivid, and in many ways uncompromising, it is the personal toll of the characters that unnerves.

3/5
Lesbian Space Princess (2025) Richard Crouse Like an extended episode of South Park, Lesbian Space Princess is fast paced, vibrant and packed with madcap humor and situations, but after the laughs it’s the film’s surprisingly sweet edge that lingers.

4/5
Nouvelle Vague (2025) Richard Crouse A love letter to Jean-Luc Godard and the French New Wave, and to storytelling and imagination. It stylishly captures the style and playfulness of the French New Wave, but more importantly, the spirit of change that fueled the movement that changed cinema.

3.5/5
Stitch Head (2025) Richard Crouse Stitch Head is a fun Tim Burton-lite animated monster movie with kid-friendly messages about embracing our differences, belonging and the courage to face fears.

Hedda (2025) Richard Crouse Hedda may not work for “Hedda Gabler” purists, but in its reinvention of the character for a new generation, star Tessa Thompson finds new aspects to a classic drama.

3.5/5
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Richard Crouse Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is a sombre movie that does rock out from time to time with some randomly inserted concert footage but it works best when it focusses on Jeremy Allen White’s terrific stripped-down performance as Bruce.

4.5/5
Blue Moon (2025) Richard Crouse Anchored by a tour-de-force performance from, Ethan Hawke, Blue Moon is a deceptively simple character study of an artistic genius who was equal parts brilliance and frailty.

4/5
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Richard Crouse A study of a relentless panic attack, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a vital, intimate, but difficult, watch featuring a career best performance from Rose Byrne who delivers a raw nerve of a performance that impresses and devastates.
