Holy Motors (2012) 91% EDIT “A terrific performance by Denis Lavant binds Holy Motors together through its creative highs and lows.” – Digital Spy Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Eddie the Eagle (2016) 82% 4/5 EDIT “It gives a newfound appreciation of what [Edwards] achieved and turns his struggles into an amiable and enjoyable adventure.” – Digital Spy Jul 18, 2016 Full Review 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) 91% 4/5 EDIT “All you need to know is that you should see it as soon as you can. It's fantastic.” – Digital Spy Jul 11, 2016 Full Review Zootopia (2016) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Using the animal kingdom as a means to convey so much sense about our own contemporary world is a masterstroke which owes a debt to George Orwell.” – Digital Spy Jul 11, 2016 Full Review Creed (2015) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Simply put, Creed is a total triumph.” – Digital Spy Jul 11, 2016 Full Review The Brothers Grimsby (2016) 37% 4/5 EDIT “Grimsby is unashamedly crude and vulgar -- seriously, don't go expecting highbrow LOLs -- but outrageously funny as a result.” – Digital Spy Feb 24, 2016 Full Review The Dressmaker (2015) 60% 3/5 EDIT “It's a vibrant, dangerous tale of revenge dominated by a stunning, multi-layered performance from Kate Winslet.” – Digital Spy Nov 21, 2015 Full Review The Hallow (2015) 69% 2/5 EDIT “A script lacking in fresh ideas proves to be an insurmountable obstacle. For a film revolving around trees, The Hallow is sadly nowhere near barking enough.” – Digital Spy Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Sicario (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Smart enough to challenge your views, yet not too cerebral to alienate the mainstream, Sicario is a thoroughly engrossing watch that dazzles visually and connects emotionally.” – Digital Spy Oct 9, 2015 Full Review Macbeth (2015) 80% 5/5 EDIT “Spearheaded by Michael Fassbender's mesmerising lead performance, this tragic tale grips your senses from the beginning and never lets go.” – Digital Spy Oct 2, 2015 Full Review The Visit (2015) 68% 2/5 EDIT “The Visit doesn't contain enough mystery or thrills to be deemed a success...” – Digital Spy Sep 10, 2015 Full Review No Escape (2015) 47% 2/5 EDIT “For the bulk of No Escape's running time, there's every chance you'll yearn to escape the popcorn-encrusted cinema seat you're in.” – Digital Spy Sep 5, 2015 Full Review Pixels (2015) 18% 2/5 EDIT “At many times throughout this film, you'd rather be watching someone play a 106-minute game of Pong.” – Digital Spy Aug 12, 2015 Full Review The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Boasting powerful performances from its lead stars, wonderfully creative direction and a story that will have you howling with laughter and recoiling with horror, it's a film that really resonates.” – Digital Spy Aug 7, 2015 Full Review The Gallows (2015) 15% 1/5 EDIT “The Gallows is a terrible film. That is all you need to know.” – Digital Spy Jul 17, 2015 Full Review Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Let's just hope it generates a strong buzz, makes people realize that Heaven is a place on Firth and leads to audiences leaving the cinema beaming. It's that kind of movie.” – Digital Spy Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Terminator Genisys (2015) 26% 1/5 EDIT “Even McBain would turn this down.” – Digital Spy Jul 1, 2015 Full Review Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief (2015) 95% 2/5 EDIT “Bring me Louis Theroux! There are many moments during this disappointing depiction of Scientology where you may be crying out that very same plea.” – Digital Spy Jun 26, 2015 Full Review The Messenger (2015) 33% 3/5 EDIT “Only a partially successful venture due to a script lacking invention and narrative hooks, The Messenger is nonetheless a showcase for homegrown talent and particularly Robert Sheehan.” – Digital Spy Jun 25, 2015 Full Review Inside Out (2015) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Full of smiles and tears, much like childhood itself, Inside Out ticks so many boxes without ever feeling contrived.” – Digital Spy Jun 25, 2015 Full Review Manglehorn (2014) 50% 2/5 EDIT “Beyond showcasing Pacino's enduring skills and exploiting our weakness for injured animals, Manglehorn doesn't seem to have a purpose.” – Digital Spy Jun 24, 2015 Full Review Amy (2015) 96% 5/5 EDIT “An utterly heartbreaking and compelling experience...” – Digital Spy Jun 22, 2015 Full Review Maggie (2015) 61% 3/5 EDIT “A worthwhile stab at approaching the zombie subgenre in a character-driven, personal manner, Maggie lacks the substance to soar and occasionally plods along like a lethargic zombie.” – Digital Spy Jun 21, 2015 Full Review Accidental Love (2015) 9% 2/5 EDIT “It's so irredeemably bad that even Alan Smithee wouldn't touch it.” – Digital Spy Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Survivor (2015) 8% 2/5 EDIT “There's little to enjoy about this daft spy thriller beyond the sight of Pierce Brosnan looking vaguely like a Spanish pimp when he wears a pencil-thin moustache as a disguise.” – Digital Spy Jun 4, 2015 Full Review
