Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) 70% 3/5 “As a final crack of the whip, though, there’s not too much to complain about. ” – Scotsman Jun 28, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% 2/5 “Bailey may have a good voice, but she doesn’t have the requisite on-screen charisma to break through Rob Marshall’s leaden direction and the uncanny valley sheen of all the CGI-augmented action. ” – Scotsman May 24, 2023 Full Review Sisu (2022) 94% 3/5 “Although the film feels a little desperate to court comparisons with the John Wick franchise and Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, when it’s focused purely on delivering brain-off, Friday night action-movie entertainment it’s hard to resist.” – Scotsman May 24, 2023 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) 82% 4/5 “It’s wild stuff, but much like the film’s more psychedelic sci-fi elements, it works because of the effort that’s gone into creating rounded characters and a richly textured universe. ” – Scotsman May 3, 2023 Full Review Alice, Darling (2022) 84% 3/5 “Anna Kendrick does a lot of heavy lifting in Alice, Darling, a film that repeatedly threatens to veer off into thriller territory but ends up instead as an interesting if uneven character study. ” – Scotsman Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) 76% 2/5 “... All the tech advances in the world can’t hide the narrative tedium of watching Cameron’s yoked-together eco-fable unfurl over 190 minutes. ” – Scotsman Dec 15, 2022 Full Review Anonymous Club (2021) 86% 3/5 “Though it’ll mean more to fans than casual listeners, the way the film juxtaposes her [Courtney Barnett's] innermost thoughts with the promotional demands that come with releasing music that really connects with people is fascinating to watch.” – Scotsman Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Nocebo (2022) 74% 2/5 “Lorcan Finnegan fails to inject much tension or fear into its trauma-driven plot. ” – Scotsman Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Emancipation (2022) 45% 3/5 “Fuqua is also prone to action movie clichés, which are at odds with Smith’s admirable efforts to play Peter as a more complex man...” – Scotsman Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) 96% 4/5 “A film that’s bizarre, beautiful, really smart and full of heart.” – Scotsman Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Tori and Lokita (2022) 87% 2/5 “... The new offering from Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne sees them slipping into a mode of social realism that relies on the harsh injustices being highlighted to distract from some pretty melodramatic plotting.” – Scotsman Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Joyride (2022) 52% 1/5 “As director Emer Reynolds can’t seem to decide how much she wants to bum us out with depictions of mental illness, she... spends much of the film lurching wildly between overblown melodrama and cringe-worthy caper comedy.” – Scotsman Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Hit the Road (2021) 95% 4/5 “... The film invokes a low-level mood of paranoia and foreboding as it explores the mental gymnastics required to navigate life under a repressive regime. ” – Scotsman Jul 27, 2022 Full Review DC League of Super-Pets (2022) 72% 3/5 “Though the plot inevitably builds towards potential world-ending catastrophe, director Jared Stern delivers the same welcome irreverence he brought to The Lego Batman Movie...” – Scotsman Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Fire of Love (2022) 98% 4/5 “... The film has an elegiac quality, one that's beautifully and thrillingly reinforced by the majesty of everything they [Katia and Maurice Krafft] documented.” – Scotsman Jul 27, 2022 Full Review This Much I Know To Be True (2022) 100% 4/5 “Cave puts his more traditional songs aside to respond to Ellis’ wild energy. ” – Uncut Magazine [UK] May 19, 2022 Full Review “Does it work? Pretty much. Gary and Martin Kemp are almost convincing as Gary and Martin Kemp, and the strikes against the art of Ronnie Wood and the cross-generational celebrity emoting of Who Do You Think You Are? are well-aimed.” – London Evening Standard Jul 6, 2020 Full Review A Christmas Carol (2018) 52% “Classicists may quibble with the casting of Guy Pearce, but he's a fine actor, and just the man to lend existential impatience to the ice-hearted businessman.” – London Evening Standard Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin (2019) 89% “Werner Herzog makes a pilgrimage inspired by the adventurer.” – London Evening Standard Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation (2019) 86% “Some optimism is required to allow for the possibility that the chaos of Woodstock offered a template for anything, but, if you inhale deeply, the film just about achieves this microcosmic ambition.” – London Evening Standard Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Inside the Social Network: Facebook's Difficult Year (2019) 50% “Facebook exists in the margins of insinuation. The same thing is going on with this film. It is, to a large extent, a PR job.” – London Evening Standard Jul 16, 2019 Full Review 63 Up (2019) 98% “As much an examination of the prejudices and predispositions of Michael Apted as it is a reliable document of the lives in question, and the ways they have been lived. Still, it's a wonderful thing, this episodic reality, and it gets richer with time.” – London Evening Standard Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Deadwood: The Movie (2019) 98% “The final moments of the drama are a worthy conclusion... If it feels abrupt, but that is the nature of farewells.” – London Evening Standard May 31, 2019 Full Review Alastair Campbell: Depression and Me (2019) 100% “There is no panacea, but Campbell is generous with the revelatory honesty.” – London Evening Standard May 21, 2019 Full Review “What is it that they're revealing? The power of resilience, mostly, and that is worth celebrating.” – London Evening Standard May 8, 2019 Full Review
