Michael Inside (2017)
While its tough subject matter may be a hard ask for audiences outside Ireland, where it should find an enthusiastic reception, this is a film shot with integrity and heart.

A suitably abrasive study of one of British pop's spikiest characters.

The Book of Henry (2017)
A nervy, willfully preposterous study of motherhood and loss, "The Book of Henry" recklessly shifts between tones and genres, never predictably but rarely satisfyingly.

Baby Driver (2017)

Despicable Me 3 (2017)
Whether it's the tiresome use of 1980s pop songs on the soundtrack or the endless gibberish of the Minions, this sequel makes a lot of noise without delivering much heart or humor.

The end of the world can't come soon enough in Transformers: The Last Knight.

That Good Night (2017)
So effortlessly good is Hurt ... that he rather outclasses the rest of this somewhat workmanlike picture.

The Chinese Widow (2017)
A well-meaning, flat film which also feels somewhat unfinished - although there's not much in here to suggest that a further reworking is merited.

My Pure Land (2017)
A feminist perspective and a novel location add a new angle to a story which, in many ways, follows a classic Western format.

The Last Photograph (2017)
Although the story deals with emotionally wrenching themes, there is a coolness here which keeps us at arm's length.

Our Time Will Come (2017)
A film marked by strong performances - leads Zhou Xun and Deanie Ip in particular - and a poignant resonance which rings through to the territory's travails today.

Australia Day (2017)

Madame (2017)

Nowhere To Hide (2017)
One thing is bruisingly clear throughout Nowhere To Hide: war turns lives on a sixpence and the poor, as ever, are the first to lose what little they have.

Ali's Wedding (2017)

All Eyez on Me (2017)
It is hard to really get a sense of the rapper as a character, so armoured is he by the crackling forcefield of anger which builds exponentially along with his success.

Hampstead (2017)
Watching it is akin to witnessing Maggie Smith's The Van slowly rear-end Richard Curtis's Notting Hill: a cringing slow-mo car crash best viewed between your hands.

Ellipsis (2017)
Ellipsis' banter, almost-romantic friendship, and assemblage of offbeat altercations keep to a well-worn path, even if the film is staged and shot with energy and affection.

The Mummy (2017)
Even Dwayne Johnson in the sequel of the 2009 reboot, The Scorpion King is more fun than this.

My Cousin Rachel (2017)
Weisz shows her Oscar-winning talents by hitting precisely the right notes throughout My Cousin Rachel: from warmth to guile to chilly practicality.

Directions (Posoki) (2017)
A bleak insight into modern-day Bulgaria.

It Comes At Night (2017)
The tension is beautifully modulated and powerfully deployed in It Comes At Night, the expert sophomore feature from Krisha writer-director Trey Edward Shults.

Wonder Woman (2017)
37
A teasing, tricksy, hugely entertaining, in some ways old-fashioned divertissement - although for 'old-fashioned', you could say classic, with a post-modern twist.

Churchill (2017)
Too ponderously paced and conventional to make much of an impact.

The Summit (La cordillera) (2017)
Although Ricardo Darín supplies the necessary world-weary gravitas as Argentina's untested leader, director Santiago Mitre fails to bring this ambitious endeavour to life.

You Were Never Really Here (2017)
A brutal, unforgiving 21st century Taxi Driver with an awards-worthy performance from Joaquin Phoenix as a hammer-wielding, blood-soaked avenger in search of salvation.

Makala (2017)
Makala takes the observational approach to the hardships of Congolese life, charting a tough but insightful journey.

There are plenty of elements to admire in Amant Double but the endless twists and revelations grow tiresome.

Djam (2017)
As ever, Gatlif can't be faulted on energy, and world music lovers will relish the fairly diverse examples of a specific music genre.

In the Fade (Aus dem Nichts) (2017)

Zombillenium (2017)
Laugh-out-loud moments are about as common as heartbeats in this tale of the industrious undead.

12 Days (2017)
Should be shown on screens large and small wherever quality docs find a home.

I Am Not a Witch (2017)
The film crafts a framework of superstition and ritual, onto which is hung a vividly realised, if somewhat enigmatic portrait of a child's life.
Posted May 26, 2017

Filmworker (2017)
An inability to crack the movie's central mystery -- why abandon your dreams to help facilitate someone else's? -- leaves the project feeling a bit like a missed opportunity.

A Gentle Creature (2017)
The film never regains its delicate balance between women's drama and parable of nationhood; but it remains a fascinating failure.
