Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
9/10	Tár (2022)	Victoria Luxford	Playing out like Black Swan at the other end of the success story, Tár is an engrossing movie that deserves the boost of a potential Oscar run. If nothing else, it cements Blanchett as one of the best on-screen storytellers working today. Posted Jan 23, 2023
7/10	M3GAN (2022)	Victoria Luxford	Entertaining enough to earn its place as one of 2023’s first breakout hits, and to make its title character the stuff of creepy legend. Posted Jan 23, 2023
8/10	The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)	Victoria Luxford	The film lacks is the ability to cast a more critical eye on its subject... (but) this is hardly the first biopic to play fast and loose with reality. Taken on its own merits, it is a fascinating rise and fall story with two magnetic leads Posted Feb 19, 2022
9/10	The French Dispatch (2021)	Victoria Luxford	Unlikely to turn Anderson haters into advocates, but it is a humble and affectionate ode to writers that opened up his world. Posted Feb 17, 2022
7/10	Last Night in Soho (2021)	Victoria Luxford	Wrestling with itself in terms of tone, it's an inventive but ultimately pretty standard spooky tale. Posted Feb 17, 2022
10/10	Dune (2021)	Victoria Luxford	Many people will encourage you to see new releases on as big a screen as possible. With a masterful spectacle like Dune, its practically a commandment. Posted Feb 17, 2022
8/10	Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)	Victoria Luxford	Thirteen years and twenty-five films in, one could be forgiven for dreading yet another destiny to fulfil, another climactic battle to win. However, (this film) gives us a reason to care, and enough breadcrumbs to prove there are exciting things ahead. Posted Feb 17, 2022
8/10	Miss Juneteenth (2020)	Victoria Luxford	The resilience is infectious, and (Beharie's) performance makes every small success enormously uplifting, even if the films third act offers some overly neat conclusions. Posted Feb 17, 2022
9/10	Rocks (2019)	Victoria Luxford	a celebration of female strength, told in a way that never comes close to being trite or patronising. Posted Feb 17, 2022
6/10	Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)	Victoria Luxford	Having already experienced a disappointing sequel (Bogus Journey was poorly received at the time), this threequel strives to give fans everything they could ask for... with a sweet message that couldnt be more needed at a time like this.
