Iron Jawed Angels (2004) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Director Katja von Garnier's use of tricksy camerawork and modern-day music is rather jarring. But the script, if a little on the wordy side, is smart and sassy, and the performances are uniformly excellent.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2020 Full Review Koko-di Koko-da (2019) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Slickly made but wilfully obscure and odd, Koko-di Koko-da is the very definition of a Marmite movie: one that will fascinate and stimulate some, but frustrate and infuriate others.” – Radio Times Sep 16, 2020 Full Review All Stars (2013) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Thoroughly corny it may be, but this makes for decent, undemanding entertainment for younger kids.” – Radio Times May 7, 2020 Full Review The Fox and the Child (2007) 50% 3/5 EDIT “The photography is stunning, and the essential sweetness of the story should ensure that younger audiences at least are riveted.” – Radio Times Mar 30, 2020 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) 38% 3/5 EDIT “A visually spectacular and fun family film in which the fashionably frantic action sequences, though intense, are bloodless and invariably comic.” – Radio Times Mar 19, 2020 Full Review Midsommar (2019) 83% 3/5 EDIT “...the novelty of high-noon horror wears ripely thin and risible over an overlong running time.” – Radio Times Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It is perfect, however, for viewers who enjoy slice-of-life films about flawed characters you can't help but cheer on.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Klaus (2019) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Klaus is a pleasant and entertaining alternative to the usual saccharine seasonal fare.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Krampus (2015) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Still, it nicely blends horror and humour, delivers scary stuff at its best, and is well worth the watch if you're sick to the stomach of traditional Christmas slush.” – Radio Times Nov 5, 2019 Full Review The Pilgrim's Progress (2019) 60% 3/5 EDIT “This animated adaptation is basic but effective...” – Radio Times Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Abominable (2019) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Nevertheless, it's intermittently very entertaining and, for once, here's a film where the fact it doesn't live up to its title is a plus point.” – Radio Times Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Km 31-2 (2016) 57% 2/5 EDIT “Despite decent spooky effects, it never quite lives up to its early, creepy promise.” – Radio Times Oct 1, 2019 Full Review The Farewell (2019) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Thoroughly entertaining, this is a farewell well worth saying hello to.” – Radio Times Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion (2018) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Passable but patchy, this animated adventure wobbles between wryly amusing, laugh-out-loud funny and charmlessly frenetic.” – Radio Times Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Terra Willy (2019) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Sequences of chase and peril may upset more sensitive souls, but otherwise this enjoyable synthesis of Lost in Space, Wall-E and a touch of Tarzan is bright and breezy fun for younger kids.” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2019 Full Review Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) 78% 3/5 EDIT “[I]t's all slickly done, and a decent enough frightfest for fans of traditional scares.” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2019 Full Review UglyDolls (2019) 30% 4/5 EDIT “Certain scenes may scare more sensitive children but, on the whole, UglyDolls is cutely done, and it earns extra plaudits for being an animation for younger kids that attempts to address age-relevant issues of individuality.” – Radio Times Aug 16, 2019 Full Review Charming (2018) 22% 2/5 EDIT “Pitched at younger kids, Charming is watchable without exactly setting the world on fire. But it's a decent second stringer for when the A-listers have all been watched.” – Radio Times Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love (2019) 80% 4/5 EDIT “It's a superb documentary, and a great love story that will bring tears to the eyes of anyone ever touched by the man and his music. Keep your tissues handy.” – Radio Times Jul 27, 2019 Full Review Tell It to the Bees (2018) 49% 2/5 EDIT “The leads are decent, but the frequent bee close-ups seem superfluous, and whole thing reeks of an overwrought soap, and might be better suited to the small screen than the big.” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2019 Full Review We the Animals (2018) 92% 3/5 EDIT “But for anyone who saw and liked the indie likes of Mud, Mid90s and in particular The Florida Project, this is well worth checking out.” – Radio Times Jun 17, 2019 Full Review Late Night (2019) 80% 3/5 EDIT “An under-employed John Lithgow contributes some drama to leaven the levity a little. But this is essentially quality comic fluff to be relished and enjoyed when you just want something light and likeable to relax into.” – Radio Times Jun 10, 2019 Full Review Breakthrough (2019) 60% 3/5 EDIT “This Is Us regular Chrissy Metz makes her presence felt as the boy's mum, and Topher Grace and Josh Lucas bring modest star power to a slick if sometimes slushy against-the-odds drama that's perfectly watchable, whether you subscribe to its claims or not.” – Radio Times May 17, 2019 Full Review The Curse of La Llorona (2019) 26% 3/5 EDIT “A meatier script and more fleshed-out characters would also have helped raise the fright bar, but The Curse of La Llorona is still solidly watchable and succeeds in leaving a lingering impression.” – Radio Times May 3, 2019 Full Review Spy Cat (2018) 3/5 EDIT “File under school-holiday viewing for younger kids.” – Radio Times Apr 29, 2019 Full Review
