Shazam! (2019) 90% 4/5 EDIT “(Written by Sam Drayton Le Tissier) A much needed new light in the DCEU, Shazam is huge fun, and introduces us to a new hero and makes us excited to see where he goes next.” – HeyUGuys Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Minding the Gap (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “(Written by Andy Psyllides) A compelling and raw examination of three friends growing up and their world changing around them. Hypnotically and beautifully edited, this is a powerful and profound film.” – HeyUGuys Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) 68% 3/5 EDIT “(Written by Luke Walpole) Fun if not flawless, Detective Pikachu sews together visual wizardry with strong human elements, even if the storytelling lacks focus.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Little (2019) 46% 3/5 EDIT “(Written by Luke Walpole) Consistently fun and sharply acted, Little doesn't reinvent the wheel, but does make for a pretty smooth and enjoyable journey along the way.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Missing Link (2019) 88% 4/5 EDIT “(Written by Luke Walpole) Gorgeously animated, rousingly scored and featuring a gamut of game voice actors, Missing Link is stunning to behold, even if its pacing isn't quite as fluid.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound (2019) 97% 4/5 EDIT “(Written by James Kleinmann) You'll likely never hear a film in the same way again after watching this thrilling celebration of the craft.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood (2017) 85% 4/5 EDIT “(Written by James Kleinmann) A frank and revealing documentary which shines a light on the early years of Hollywood and has compelling themes which resonate in today's world.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Hearts Beat Loud (2018) 92% 3/5 EDIT “(Written by Greg Wetherall) A solid, well-intentioned thrum on the heartstrings, given warm overtones by some fine performances.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Extinction (2018) 32% 3/5 EDIT “(Written by James Perkins) A largely by the numbers sci-fi film that takes an interesting turn for its final act” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle (2018) 60% 3/5 EDIT “(Written by James Perkins) An interesting but ultimately slow sequel that somehow still manages to set up for a thrilling finale. Definitely for hardcore fans rather than newcomers.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Whitney (2018) 88% 4/5 EDIT “(Written by Greg Wetherall) A worthy and respectful exploration of a genuine worldwide superstar.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Tau (2018) 30% 3/5 EDIT “(Written by James Perkins) A promising sci-fi project that has real star power but still sadly fails to meet the deadline.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms (2018) 100% 5/5 EDIT “(Written by James Perkins) An intimate and beautiful tale of tragedy and maternal love that will bring audiences to tears” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Set It Up (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “(Written by Amanda Keats) A fun and endearing film that feels like both a throwback to the beloved rom coms of the 90s and something new, fresh and exciting.” – HeyUGuys Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) 42% 3/5 EDIT “(Written by Luke Walpole) Big, dumb, silly and striking, King of Monsters is not quite 'so bad it's good', but it's certainly a film which entertains in spite of it's manifold flaws.” – HeyUGuys May 29, 2019 Full Review The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018) 66% 4/5 EDIT “As absurd as its passage to the big screen, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is a visual and emotional triumph. Though there is unevenness in the mix, it remains a pure cinematic joy.” – HeyUGuys Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Disobedience (2017) 84% 4/5 EDIT “A strong and beautifully executed piece of cinema” – HeyUGuys Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Rian Johnson has made a film that will delight and divide fans in equal measure. It is a bold and brilliant new step for the saga, moments of inspired silliness, pure heartbreak and thrilling action.” – HeyUGuys Dec 12, 2017 Full Review The Snowman (1982) 80% EDIT “The Snowman is an absolute joy; it is as mesmerising, as surprising and as enchanting as it was all those years ago.” – HeyUGuys Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Jane (2017) 98% 4/5 EDIT “A film, and story, of how one woman created a scientific community with so much passion and lifelong dedication, that will undoubtedly make you feel a sense of admiration.” – HeyUGuys Oct 17, 2017 Full Review A Prayer Before Dawn (2017) 92% 4/5 EDIT “An explosive, hard-hitting assault on the senses.” – HeyUGuys Oct 16, 2017 Full Review Wonder Wheel (2017) 31% 4/5 EDIT “Kate Winslet is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking in the role, delivering one of the finest performances of her career, worthy of an eighth Oscar nomination.” – HeyUGuys Oct 16, 2017 Full Review Professor Marston & the Wonder Women (2017) 87% 4/5 EDIT “An immensely powerful and fascinating film which makes you profoundly respect the foremost female superhero in the world.” – HeyUGuys Oct 13, 2017 Full Review The Reagan Show (2017) 80% 4/5 EDIT “This documentary provides an entraining and thought-provoking look at an immensely important public figure.” – HeyUGuys Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Ingrid Goes West (2017) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Ingrid Goes West is not necessarily a profound movie. Nothing it says will appear shocking or unfounded in a post-Catfish age. But it is a starkly relevant and modern film, and through its sly commentary and bruising wit, it is telling all the same.” – HeyUGuys Oct 2, 2017 Full Review
