Cocaine Bear (2023) Review
Cocaine Bear promises ludicrous violence and self-aware humour, but loses track of what it needed to be: unapologetic and non-sensical.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Review
Quantumania tinkers with the idea of compelling time concepts, all of which feel wasted in yet another forgettable entry in the MCU.

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) Review
All Quiet on the Western Front fails to capture the horror and emotion of the 1930 original, deserving half of its nine Oscar nominations.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2023) Review
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story proves not all music biopics need to be faithful; they just need to be funny, heartfelt and aspirational.

Knock at the Cabin (2023) Review
Knock at the Cabin is certainly better than Shyamalan's most recent endeavours, but that doesn't mean it's any better than most films today.

Women Talking blends an unbelievable true story with an outstanding female ensemble to create a poignant, heart-wrenching vendetta.

Sharper (2023) Review
Sharper features plenty of style, but too much substance to the point where none of its revelations are neither surprising nor rewarding.

Infinity Pool (2023) Review
Infinity Pool dives into the ethics surrounding its central plot device, but instead gets lost in its own sexual, severe pleasures.

Alice, Darling (2023) Review
Alice, Darling is a taut thriller that highlights the lingering effects of abusive relationships and the importance of friendship.

You People (2023) Review
Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy carry this social commentary, joking about common tropes that wouldn't feel out of place in the early 2000s.

Pinocchio (2022) Review
Emotional vocal performances and a sublime balance of mature themes and childlike wonder make Pinocchio one of 2022's best animated features

Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023) Review
Ritchie and Statham reunite fivefold in Operation Fortune, an enjoyable though ultimately flawed popcorn flick.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Review
The Way of Water is visually avant-garde, but a superfluous runtime dampens any hope for what could have been a well-told familial affair.

In a more than pleasant surprise, Puss in Boots delves into the anxiety of mortality to produce the best Shrek movie in nearly 20 years.

Wednesday (2022) Series Review
Wednesday is one of Netflix's most charming and loveable experiences, managing to be spooky without being overly-ooky.

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) Review
The Banshees of Inisherin is a deep-rooted tragicomedy, a career-best performance by Colin Farrell, and the best film of 2022.

Glass Onion (2022) Review
Glass Onion may be slightly transparent, but its cast shine life and absurdity on the extravagance of the rich and famous.

The Fabelmans (2022) Review
The Fabelmans is one of Spielberg's best; a love letter to cinema that will bring a smile of unfeigned delight to the most apathetic viewer.

I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022) Review
A stunning performance by Naomi Ackie is sadly overshadowed by a movie that feels like a checklist of events rather than a cohesive story.
