Die My Love (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love is a lot of things: moving, stylish, and frustrating as all hell. But it’s also just one thing: a singular performance of feral ferocity, complexity, and ultimately crushing sadness from a career-best Jennifer Lawrence. ” – Flickering Myth Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Retreat (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Part thriller, part damaged person’s journey-of-discovery, Retreat remains thoroughly engrossing throughout, even as it begins to unravel towards a messy end. ” – Flickering Myth Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% 2/5 EDIT “So much worse than simply being a self-fulling prophecy of a title, Regretting You exists somewhere between Friday night so-bad-it’s-good giggle and just being a downright dull.” – Flickering Myth Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 5/5 EDIT “Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein finds the auteur operating at the highest level, coaxing a revelatory performance from Jacob Elordi, and resurrecting a 200-year old tale by stitching it together as a melancholy gothic tome on love and loneliness. ” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Heel (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Good Boy is relentlessly bleak ‘fun’ and twisty-turny throughout, with Stephen Graham once again excelling in a role about adolescence of a different kind. ” – Flickering Myth Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “A muddled melodrama where the journey is so downright odd that it’s difficult to care about anything that’s going on.” – Flickering Myth Oct 12, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A top-tier Stephen King adaptation, The Long Walk strides out of the pack to become one of 2025’s biggest surprises. ” – Flickering Myth Sep 5, 2025 Full Review IF (2024) 51% EDIT “Go for the unicorns, dragons, and A-list cameos, but stay for the big beating heart and Cailey Fleming’s star-making performance. It will leave you glowing. ” – Flickering Myth May 28, 2024 Full Review Dark Harvest (2023) 67% EDIT “Despite some fleeting moments of pulpy-horror, Dark Harvest feels like a missed opportunity to create something that could have been cherished for Octobers to come.” – Flickering Myth Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire (2023) 22% EDIT “Excuses will be made that its the first of a two-parter, but you have to establish some connection to the story or the people populating it to ensure viewers will want to come back, and unfortunately Rebel Moon doesn’t come close to achieving that. ” – Flickering Myth Dec 16, 2023 Full Review Candy Cane Lane (2023) 45% EDIT “Candy Cane Lane is nowhere near five gold rings, but more like a solid three French hens, largely due to Eddie Murphy’s ability to deliver the laughs.” – Flickering Myth Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023) 83% EDIT “While average-Aardman remains better than most, Dawn of the Nugget still feels like Chicken re-Run, which will no doubt keep the kids quiet at Christmas time.” – Flickering Myth Oct 14, 2023 Full Review The End We Start From (2023) 89% EDIT “The End We Start From is kept afloat by Jodie Comer’s committed performance, but ebbs and flows on what is a disappointingly dull journey.” – Flickering Myth Oct 14, 2023 Full Review Cobweb (2023) 76% EDIT “Kim Jee-woon’s Cobweb is a meticulous joy buoyed by an infectious energy. Full of smarts, misdirects, and so many delightful giggles. A big recommendation.” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2023 Full Review The Book of Clarence (2023) 65% EDIT “A singular vision of an age-old sermon filtered through a modern lens, The Book of Clarence isn’t just a good book, it’s a great one.” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Eileen (2023) 81% EDIT “A superb the-less-you-know-the-better two-hander, with McKenzie and Hathaway delivering at opposite ends of the performance spectrum, Eileen is a short, sharp jolt of high-end trashy drama. ” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2023 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% EDIT “It’s cold to the touch and clearly won’t be for everyone, but The Killer finds Fincher back to his Vantablack best with a lean, meticulous, and intermittently cruel exercise in top-tier filmmaking.” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Monster (2023) 97% EDIT “One of the most real and affecting portrayals of friendship on film, Kore-eda’s Monster is a devastating secrets and lies parable, crafted by a master at the very top of his game. ” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% EDIT “Hit Man is smart without being smug, sparking with an electricity that hops between its superb ensemble, and is arguably funnier than almost every comedy released in 2023 combined.” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Memory (2023) 85% EDIT “Despite well-intentioned themes on the way society dehumanises those afflicted with debilitating illnesses, and Chastain and Sarsgaard convincing with their tender performances, Memory can’t escape from the fact it’s a painfully boring affair.” – Flickering Myth Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) 71% EDIT “Runaway rickshaws, rickety bridges, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge ensure that Harrison Ford hangs up his hat in whip-cracking fashion. So long, Dr. Jones.” – Flickering Myth Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Suzume (2022) 96% EDIT “Suzume works on multiple levels; as an eco-fable about not only our own personal legacies, but the one we leave behind for generations-to-come, or simply as a rollicking good action-adventure” – Flickering Myth Apr 25, 2023 Full Review The Lake (2022) EDIT “An enjoyable and slick enough slice of disposable monster mayhem, but had the potential to be so much more.” – Flickering Myth Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) 49% EDIT “Shazam! Fury of the Gods doubles down on the same charm which made the original soar and the resulting film is a sequel that’s easily the equal of its enjoyable predecessor.” – Flickering Myth Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Broker (2022) 94% EDIT “Kore-Eda has made another exquisite drama, one that evolves into something unexpectedly beautiful, with layered performances that work perfectly with the slow burn reveals of the plot” – Flickering Myth Mar 1, 2023 Full Review
