Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)

3/5
EDIT
“ The novelty has slightly worn off, not least because Cameron retreads extremely familiar ground across 'Fire And Ash'.” –

The Wild Robot (2024)

4/5
EDIT
“This CG-animated film has a sumptuous, painterly quality that magics brushstrokes out of pixels. It’s delightful to gawp at, and makes the ideal canvas for the tech-meets-nature story.” –

Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024)
27%
3/5
EDIT
“There are plenty of elements that feel familiar... But it’s all assembled in a big-hearted, slickly put-together confection that entertains without outstaying its welcome, and delivers its uncomplicated messages without too much sentimentality.” –

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

4/5
EDIT
“The MCU’s self-appointed messiah might not have pulled off a complete course correction, but he delivers an action-packed, gag-stuffed crowdpleaser that gives the franchise a much needed lift. Jackman is worth his weight in adamantium.” –

2/5
EDIT
“Fins can’t really get more underwhelming as a Bridesmaids-meets-Jaws premise sinks in an unmemorable thriller.

Love Me (2024)

2/5
EDIT
“Writer/director duo Sam and Andy Zuchero take an admirably big swing with their feature debut Love Me, but it never engages emotionally in the way this kind of material needs to.” –

“This assured directorial debut from Anna Kendrick tells a shocking true-crime story with elan. Highly recommended, but of course, the choice is yours.” –

“Chris Pine’s directorial debut is a copper-bottomed misfire. Do yourself (and everyone involved) a favor by rewatching The Big Lebowski instead.” –

Wildcat (2023)
59%
3/5
EDIT
“Wildcat is a much easier film to admire than love. As it laudably diverges from the cradle-to-grave formula, it’s hard not to wish that its daring approach had resulted in something easier to invest in.” –

Pain Hustlers (2023)

2/5
EDIT
“Blunt’s performance is the main selling point in a largely ineffectual satire. In the opioid-movie space, Pain Hustlers does more pharm than good.” –

“A familiar story, sure, but Taika Waititi’s funny and feel-good underdog tale is extremely easy to warm to.” –

“Krieps is formidable in Viggo Mortensen’s gritty but beautiful frontier tale that subverts western tropes as readily as it embraces them.” –

“Miyazaki’s first film in 10 years proves that he’s still a master of the medium. And if it’s his last film, it’s a fine one to go out on.” –

“Jonathan Glazer’s haunting Holocaust movie explores everyday evil and proves the peripheral atrocities are impossible to ignore. A singular piece of work.” –

“There are enough crowd-pleasing moments to reward the faithful, Cumberbatch remains enjoyable in a role he’s played in five previous films (and a season of What If…?) and Gomez hints at a bright future in the MCU.” –
