Minding the Gap (2018)

3/5
EDIT
“...Liu and screenplay writer Martyna Majok (with Barry Jenkins as a producer) have given us a strangely watered down version of Lish’s harrowing, vivid story. Perhaps it’s better to see the film before reading the book.” –

Bugonia (2025)

4/5
EDIT
“Yurgos Lanthimos’s gripping black comedy Bugonia...is marvellously deranged, taking a conspiracy theory to its logical, or illogical, conclusion. ” –

Mr. Blake, at Your Service! (2023)
80%
3/5
EDIT
“Its goofiness works, some of the time, partly because of Malkovich’s French, which is fluent yet delivered in a halting drawl with an English/American accent so bad it’s almost good.” –

Can I Get a Witness? (2024)

3/5
EDIT
“In spite of excellent performances from the two leads, Sandra Oh and Keira Jang, it fails to come to life and has a clunky, didactic feel, though it looks very pretty.” –

Sorry, Baby (2025)
97%
3/5
EDIT
“Its silly humour can be irritating, as can the dialogue, and it’s not as incisive as Girls, Fleabag or I May Destroy You, with which it has some themes in common. But it addresses, in an unusual, off-beat way, a serious subject...” –

Unmoored (2023)
3/5
EDIT
“Caroline Ingvarsson’s debut feature...is big on atmosphere but leaves too much to the imagination, skimming over the surface of the book, which is well worth reading, and extracting only bare, unsustaining bones.” –

Late Shift (2025)

“Although the final scenes are too neat and sentimental,...the image of Floria in her blue uniform, pushing her trolley up the ward, her phone trilling, remains indelibly powerful.” –

Goebbels and the Führer (2024)
4/5
EDIT
“The film does make its point with a rather sledge-hammer effect, but it’s fascinating to see how obsessed Hitler was over waging war and how unenthusiastic the German people were about the idea of conflict.” –

“...the dialogue doesn’t shine, sentimentality is dangerously near the surface and Moth’s character, in particular, seems one-dimensional, although Isaacs and Anderson are both impressive and locations...are beautifully shot by Hélène Louvart. ” –

Four Mothers (2024)

“...it’s warm-hearted and charming in a lukewarm way, but although it’s based on Darren Thornton and his co-writer brother Colin’s experiences with their own mother, who had a degenerative disease, it’s not particularly engaging or convincing.” –
