The Miracle Club (2023) 68% 3/5 EDIT “ The script doesn't give these terrific actresses much to work with, but what they have they use to the utmost, particularly Linney. It's a gentle, unchallenging film with a good heart and the period detail is scrumptious.” – The Arts Desk Oct 13, 2023 Full Review The Dirties (2013) 83% EDIT “This is a film with a serious purpose, to try to understand why some people act out dangerous fantasies.” – The Arts Desk May 26, 2023 Full Review Hannah Gadsby: Something Special (2023) 93% 4/5 EDIT “The comic is perkier and more physical in performance than we've previously seen, while the show itself is less meta than previous hours -- but it nonetheless delivers a powerful comedic punch.” – The Arts Desk May 16, 2023 Full Review What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022) 71% 3/5 EDIT “These are played largely as clichés, but no less funny for it, while the biggest cliché of all works, not least because of the easygoing chemistry between Latif and James.” – The Arts Desk Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) 95% 4/5 EDIT “The animation style is warm and uses high colour, the film's visual richness giving the impression almost that we're stepping into a picture book. It's very appealing.” – The Arts Desk Feb 6, 2023 Full Review The Lost King (2022) 77% 3/5 EDIT “The Lost King isn't a memorable film but at its heart is a fascinating story not just of a king given his rightful royal burial, but of a woman who finally finds her voice.” – The Arts Desk Oct 11, 2022 Full Review McEnroe (2022) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Barney Douglas's film is clearly made by an admirer. But even if Douglas's eye isn't particularly critical, McEnroe's often is.” – The Arts Desk Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Ricky Gervais: SuperNature (2022) 31% 4/5 EDIT “There’s plenty to be offended by if you don’t see what the joke really is -- or its target -- but he’s an equal opportunities offender, at least. ” – The Arts Desk Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Barry & Joan (2022) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Barry & Joan is a delightfully quirky film, informative and funny, and capturing a couple of troupers who are two of our few remaining links to vaudeville. A must for anyone interested in the history of theatre and comedy.” – The Arts Desk May 6, 2022 Full Review The Lost City (2022) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Sandra Bullock is on terrific form in this rollicking romcom.” – The Arts Desk Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Marry Me (2022) 61% 3/5 EDIT “ Silverman is good value, while Lopez and Wilson are both extremely likeable, with real on-screen chemistry -- and Lopez can really bang out those lovesick ballads.” – The Arts Desk Feb 14, 2022 Full Review King Richard (2021) 90% 3/5 EDIT “It's an enjoyable appreciation of [Richard Williams'] role in their success but rarely poses any deeper questions that may discomfort those exec producers.” – The Arts Desk Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Bo Burnham: Inside (2021) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Some people perfected their banana loaf or sourdough bread during lockdown. Others tried to learn a new language or how to play an instrument. Bo Burnham produced this masterpiece.” – The Arts Desk Aug 2, 2021 Full Review Some Kind of Heaven (2020) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Oppenheim's subtle and enjoyable film allows us to deduce that, for some, their heaven is another person's idea of hell.” – The Arts Desk May 17, 2021 Full Review Coming 2 America (2021) 49% 2/5 EDIT “The story, in which loves conquers all, is entirely predictable.” – The Arts Desk Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Citizen Lane (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “This is a little-known story given its due prominence in O'Sullivan's lovely film.” – The Arts Desk Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Natalie Palamides: Nate - A One Man Show (2020) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Mixed signals are the whole point of this show, in which broad laughs are followed by gasps of realisation as Palamides takes a deep dive into issues of consent.” – The Arts Desk Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Days of the Bagnold Summer (2019) 93% 4/5 EDIT “It's a quiet treat of well observed domestic ennui, with an ace soundtrack supplied by Belle & Sebastian.” – The Arts Desk Jun 7, 2020 Full Review In Search of Greatness (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Polsky's film isn't, unlike its sporting subjects in their heyday, fast-moving or exciting, but what it lacks in pace it more than makes up for in absorbing content.” – The Arts Desk May 19, 2020 Full Review GBF (2013) 80% 3/5 EDIT “The film is cliché-heavy, yes, but GBF has some LOL moments and real heart, and gets its point across without too much Hollywood sentiment.” – The Arts Desk May 8, 2020 Full Review The Host (2020) 20% 2/5 EDIT “It takes several jarring switches of gear and direction.” – The Arts Desk Apr 21, 2020 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “Another enjoyable melding of fact and fiction.” – The Arts Desk Dec 16, 2019 Full Review John McEnroe: In the Realm of Perfection (2018) 90% 4/5 EDIT “It's an oddity but a fascinating one.” – The Arts Desk May 22, 2019 Full Review Mary Poppins Returns (2018) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Blunt makes the role of the magical nanny her own, and her Mary Poppins has a welcome touch less sugar and a smidgen more spice.” – The Arts Desk Dec 19, 2018 Full Review Peterloo (2018) 67% 5/5 EDIT “Despite its talkiness, Peterloo never drags in its two-and-a-half-hour length, and there are standout performances from Peake, Kinnear, Franklin and Johnson as the film moves inexorably to the shocking events of that fateful day in Manchester.” – The Arts Desk Nov 1, 2018 Full Review
