Wilding (2023) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Though perhaps better suited as a series, with room to allow a gentler pace and wallow in the beauty of the recovering land, Wilding is nevertheless a delightful documentary that transfixes as well as tests patience.” – HeyUGuys Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Wish (2023) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Looking beautiful but tonally inconsistent, musically meh and generally lacklustre, Wish isn’t going to ascend to the giddy heights of the classics it references.” – HeyUGuys Nov 24, 2023 Full Review Trolls Band Together (2023) 64% 2/5 EDIT “The latest outing for the Trolls probably won’t win them any new fans but its inoffensive enough fare for a rainy day. The very definition of fine.” – HeyUGuys Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) 75% 5/5 EDIT “With its subversive narrative cleverly wrapped in a cloud of enemies to lovers candy floss, Red, White & Royal Blue's triumph is that this won't be the last time we will see a queer fairytale warming hearts and opening minds.” – HeyUGuys Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken boasts a strong vocal cast, a lovely fizzy soundtrack and a story that successfully centres a girl without diminishing the action. We would like to see what Ruby does next.” – HeyUGuys Jun 30, 2023 Full Review Asteroid City (2023) 76% 3/5 EDIT “A beautiful, frustrating outing in Andersonville. With a predictably game cast, keen ideas and a gorgeous aesthetic, this is a playful, if shallow, slice of cake.” – HeyUGuys Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) 51% 3/5 EDIT “With likable leads, coherent action and the requisite transformery blocks busting, this is a fun film free from the franchise's worst tendencies. However, it lacks the heart and focus of the Bumblebee film.” – HeyUGuys Jun 8, 2023 Full Review The Boogeyman (2023) 60% 3/5 EDIT “A well made, well-meaning, if familiar, loss inspired creepshow. With two impressive young women at its core, teen audiences could do worse than to make this their first big-screen scary movie.” – HeyUGuys Jun 3, 2023 Full Review Reality (2023) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Reality is a masterclass in filmmaking from Tina Satter, compounded by a sterling lead performance from Sydney Sweeney.” – HeyUGuys Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Rye Lane (2023) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Rye Lane is an essential film, a window into a glorious, endangered, corner of London and into the lives of two lost souls falling in like on its beloved streets. We fell in love, you will too.” – HeyUGuys Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Allelujah (2022) 38% 4/5 EDIT “If you can open your heart and mind to a flawed but thought-provoking feature with something to say about how some of us may spend our final days, Allelujah could be the film for you.” – HeyUGuys Mar 17, 2023 Full Review What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022) 71% 2/5 EDIT “With its tone-deaf narrative bordering on offensive, dialogue as clunky as Zoe’s twisted fairytales, and a surfeit of dangling plot threads the answer to the question this film’s title poses is…nothing. Love has nothing to do with this disappointing mess.” – HeyUGuys Feb 24, 2023 Full Review The Son (2022) 29% 3/5 EDIT “Despite the fine work from its cast (spotlighting Zen McGrath), Zeller's wayward focus detracts and dilutes the power this film always seems to be on the edge of unleashing. ” – HeyUGuys Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Magic Mike’s Last Dance has much of the gyratory spectacle without any of the gravitas of the two preceeding chapters. A dull, damp, passionless epilogue.” – HeyUGuys Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a heartfelt adventure caper that tackles anxiety with surprising empathy and wit. A few cast members should have been lost in the woods but overall this one’s a winner!” – HeyUGuys Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Spirited (2022) 70% 5/5 EDIT “Like being punched in the face with a candy cane; the sudden sugar rush of festive feels is sickly but irresistible. Spirited is a proper Christmas cracker and destined to become an annual rewatch.” – HeyUGuys Nov 18, 2022 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Deceptively simple, McDonagh's film unfurls beautifully to reveal a pitch black tragicomedy, a deliciously entertaining and terrible tale.” – HeyUGuys Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Emily (2022) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Emily Brontë is liberated by O’Connor’s interpretation, Emma MacKey’s passionate embodiment and Segal’s lens. This is a vital and powerful take on the mystery of her too-short life. It shines.” – HeyUGuys Oct 14, 2022 Full Review My Best Friend's Exorcism (2022) 50% 4/5 EDIT “This is a smashing film, with vulnerable performances selling the harder truths of teen life, frank depictions of sexual identities and enough silliness to buoy the whole thing along with aplomb.” – HeyUGuys Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Entertaining it might be but, despite sleek looks, Bullet Train meekly chugs along like a National Rail locomotive approaching fallen leaves on a tarnished track.” – HeyUGuys Aug 3, 2022 Full Review The Lost City (2022) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Full of personality and plenty of twists and turns to keep the predictable action skipping along, The Lost City is daft and delightful in equal measure; the perfect cinematic indulgence.” – HeyUGuys Apr 12, 2022 Full Review Belle (2021) 95% 5/5 EDIT “A remarkable film, epic in scale, deep in heartfelt emotion and rich in theme and immersion. See it on the biggest screen you can find because this film is one to treasure.” – HeyUGuys Feb 2, 2022 Full Review Being the Ricardos (2021) 68% 2/5 EDIT “Despite its promise and superficial beauty, you cannot lose yourself in such a contrived environment. Sadly, we didn't love Lucy.” – HeyUGuys Dec 8, 2021 Full Review Encanto (2021) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Encanto is a joy and its light deserves to be seen far and wide - the tears you cry will be happy ones.” – HeyUGuys Nov 24, 2021 Full Review The Addams Family 2 (2021) 28% 2/5 EDIT “Lifeless and flat, doing a disservice to the family name and the talent who voice them. WIthout glamour, wit or a hint of a soul. A void. Avoid.” – HeyUGuys Oct 8, 2021 Full Review
