Once Upon a Time in Ukraine (2020) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A Tarantino influenced Ukrainian western, with samurai, ninjas and plenty of action. It’s sometimes as disjointed as that sounds, but never less than a good time.” – HeyUGuys Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Kamikaze Hearts (1986) 4/5 EDIT “A fascinating blend of documentary and fiction that preserves a very specific time and place in the adult industry, anchored by the charismatic figure of Sharon Mitchell.” – HeyUGuys Oct 17, 2022 Full Review Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (2022) 69% 4/5 EDIT “Confrontational because it’s so persuasive, Nina Menkes’ documentary essay on the male gaze in movies will make you think about how you’ve watched films in the past and how you should watch them in the future.” – HeyUGuys Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Girl Picture (2022) 97% 3/5 EDIT “Excellent direction and performances lift, but can’t quite overcome, rote plotting in this familiar but very well made Finnish coming of ager.” – HeyUGuys Sep 26, 2022 Full Review Belle (2021) 95% 5/5 EDIT “A triumph of a release from All The Anime. An exhaustive, technically excellent, and beautifully presented package for one of Mamoru Hosoda’s best films to date. [Belle Limited Edition 4K Boxset review]” – HeyUGuys Jul 13, 2022 Full Review The Princess (2022) 62% 3/5 EDIT “The story is basic and the themes shouted at us, but there’s enough good, bloody, fighting here to entertain action fans.” – HeyUGuys Jul 4, 2022 Full Review Summer in the Shade (2020) 3/5 EDIT “A well told coming of age story with a very good performance from Niamh Walter. Unfortunately it sometimes gets lost in themes it doesn’t properly develop. A flawed, but promising, debut.” – HeyUGuys Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Thriller - A Cruel Picture (Thriller - en grym film) (Hooker's Revenge) (They Call Her One Eye) (1974) 56% 5/5 EDIT “An exploitation classic, given the best presentation it’s ever had, from the gorgeous packaging to the exceptional, given the source, image. An insightful commentary and an exhaustive slate of extras only make this release more essential for fans.” – HeyUGuys Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Hollywood Stargirl (2022) 94% 3/5 EDIT “This sequel addresses some of the problems of the first film, while delivering a similarly feelgood coming of age story, with another effortlessly charming performance from Grace VaderWaal at its centre.” – HeyUGuys Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Much Ado (2022) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Some aspects of the play don’t adapt well to modern day, but Hillary and Anna Shakespeare’s take on the archetypal romantic comedy is fast, funny and distinctly their own.” – HeyUGuys Apr 10, 2022 Full Review Shou hu fei long (Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon)(Nutty Kickbox Cops) (1990) 3/5 EDIT “A mixed bag of a film, but one thats still worthwhile for Sammo Hung fans, bolstered by another exceptional restoration and set of extras from Eureka.” – HeyUGuys Feb 22, 2022 Full Review One Shot (2021) 61% 2/5 EDIT “One Shot gets away with its single take illusion, but a lack of character and an uninspired story mean the action isn't especially interesting and the paucity of martial arts fails to play to Scott Adkins' strengths.” – HeyUGuys Jan 25, 2022 Full Review The Outsiders (1983) 71% 3/5 EDIT “This begins as a great film but, unfortunately, slowly gives way to ever weaker melodrama across its second half. Well worth it, though, to see the beginnings of so many notable careers and for Stephen H. Burum's cinematography.” – HeyUGuys Oct 29, 2021 Full Review The Gravedigger's Wife (2021) 96% 3/5 EDIT “A stark drama about the choices poverty forces on people, but the slow pace and a contrived third act mean it doesn't quite land as powerfully as it might.” – HeyUGuys Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Wild Indian (2021) 90% 3/5 EDIT “An outstanding performance from Michael Greyeyes can't quite compensate for the hollowness at the centre of this character study thriller.” – HeyUGuys Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Little Palestine: Diary of a Siege (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A moving documentary taking a uniquely close up look at day to day life for ordinary people caught up in conflict.” – HeyUGuys Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Mothers of the Revolution (2021) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A celebration as much as it is a reflection on the history of the Greenham Common peace camp. Informative, but the fact there is enough material here for a couple of films is a mixed blessing.” – HeyUGuys Oct 7, 2021 Full Review The Witches of the Orient (2021) 92% 2/5 EDIT “A sports documentary that has some interesting footage, but which could stand to focus more on its archive material, and boiling that down into a more focused story.” – HeyUGuys Jul 15, 2021 Full Review Jumbo (2020) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Undoubtedly an unusual love story, but intelligent filmmaking and a great performance from Noemie Merlant make it both credible and strangely affecting.” – HeyUGuys Jul 6, 2021 Full Review We Still Say Grace (2020) 3/5 EDIT “There's not much new here, but effective performances and a foreboding atmosphere mean this still chills efficiently.” – HeyUGuys May 6, 2021 Full Review Josie & Jack (2019) 2/5 EDIT “The actors do what they can with a flawed screenplay and underwritten roles, but their efforts are further blunted by dull and drab visual choices.” – HeyUGuys Mar 23, 2021 Full Review Mouthpiece (2018) 91% 4/5 EDIT “An original approach to a familiar story, with two brilliantly complimentary performances that add up to one great piece of character work.” – HeyUGuys Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Lucky (2020) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A powerfully political and highly entertaining slasher that will have its audience going over its themes and ideas long after the credits roll.” – HeyUGuys Mar 12, 2021 Full Review Justine (2020) 88% 3/5 EDIT “A well observed and acted relationship drama, let down by its lack of an ending.” – HeyUGuys Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Swallow (2019) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Thoughtfully shot and written, it leaves us on an uncertain note, but is all the more provocative for that.” – HeyUGuys Feb 17, 2021 Full Review
