Frankenstein (2025)
85%
EDIT
“Oscar Isaac's performance is so gloriously overblown and big, he’s giving Elordi’s monster a healthy run for his money” –

One Battle After Another (2025)

EDIT
“Paul Thomas Anderson’s smart, comic, knotty, emotionally charged chase movie might just be a masterpiece” –

Caught Stealing (2025)

EDIT
“Might it be that in this somewhat unfamiliar genre, Aronofsky is, like Austin Butler's Hank, in surprisingly over his head?” –

American Fiction (2023)

EDIT
“I can honestly say that I haven’t laughed as much at a movie for months – no, years! – as I did while watching Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut, American Fiction. ” –

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)
86%
EDIT
“It’s not the most biting satire of the privileged and the pretty, but it nevertheless builds to an of-the-times conclusion that is nifty and satisfying.” –

Catherine Called Birdy (2022)
89%
EDIT
“It's about a spunky teenage girl in the 1200s who is navigating the classic stuff of teenage girldom: puberty, friendships, parents, and being married off to an old, rich and corporeally repulsive man in order to save her family from financial ruin.” –

Triangle of Sadness (2022)
72%
EDIT
“Östlund’s darkly comic film pulls approximately zero punches as it exposes the venality of the upper echelons of modern society, as you might expect. But rather than just point out their baseness, he’s going to make them – and us – suffer.” –

EDIT
“It might be a hard sell, but for those who can bear to think a little deeper about the nature of existence – and the end of existence – the rewards are rich.” –

Red Herring (2023)
EDIT
“Of course there’s pain, and fear, and deep, deep sadness. How could there not be. But not as much of it as you’d expect; maybe because Vincent isn’t facing it properly, or maybe, as he argues, because it’s not the kind of film he set out to make. ” –

Spaceman (2024)

“For whatever reason, everyone in this film seems to have been instructed to speak with the lethargic, hypnotic delivery of a depressed masseuse.” –

Drive-Away Dolls (2024)

“It almost feels uptight – nay, frigid! – not to roll with the rollicking mood; but what if you just don’t – just can’t! – find it funny?” –

The Substance (2024)
89%
EDIT
“In some sections the pace – like Elizabeth’s physical form, as she pays the corporeal price for abusing the experiment – starts to sag. The ending, when it finally comes, is drawn-out, but it is also outrageous and monstrous and gloriously silly. ” –

Maestro (2023)
78%
EDIT
“Maestro explores the nuances of the Bernsteins’ unusual relationship with a care and a thoughtfulness that is rare in the movies these days – and even more so in biopics, which so often feel compelled to swing for hagiography or hack job.” –

Piece By Piece (2024)

“It’s an efficient little movie that has plenty of dazzle and charm, even if the more nuanced, less plasticky version of the story stays firmly in the toy-box.” –

Nosferatu (2024)
85%
EDIT
“The vampire could pull out all the tricks in its scariness arsenal – and it does – and you will look at it with the impassivity of a six-year-old girl at the zoo, studying a silverback gorilla through the glass while licking a lollypop.” –

Babygirl (2024)

EDIT
“For an actor with a rep for doing buttoned-up, Nicole Kidman's portrayal of Romy’s sexual awakening is outrageously brave – I can’t help but take my hat (and only my hat) off to her.” –

28 Years Later (2025)

“This tightly constructed sequel though, with its energetic, fondly nostalgic direction and a reassuringly high-calibre cast, comes with new ideas and enough thought-provoking surprises to allow just a small amount of hope.” –

Strays (2023)
54%
EDIT
“Strays is not amazing. But that’s not to say it won’t find its audience.... Because isn't there, somewhere out there, a cabal of big-hearted teenage dudes just waiting to give this disgustingly loveable/loveably disgusting comedy a forever-home?” –
