Drop (2025) 84% 3.5/5 “ The film throws in development after development, constantly raising the stakes with new threats. Despite the pulpy writing, Drop is surprisingly nuanced and underplays the action to help build the tension.” – Frame Rated Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 60% 2.5/5 “It’s neither a successful political thriller nor is it far too boring to be an action flick. It doesn’t even successfully portray an amateur tech guy entering the world of espionage. ” – Frame Rated Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% 2/5 “At some point, the film abandons the creepy tone and takes a cheap, obvious direction. If you’re someone who likes to guess the plot twist, the version in your head is likely more compelling than the choices Sodorski and Cave make.” – Frame Rated Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Sebastian (2024) 75% 3.5/5 “Somewhere, under the layers of trying too hard, Sebastian is a well-crafted movie about social media, sex, making art and embracing your true self. Sadly, any message gets lost in its directionless writing and lack of pace.” – Frame Rated Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 3/5 “Disney may have enjoyed better results if they’d allowed the filmmakers to execute their vision rather than compromising on the script in fear of straying too far from the safety of the original.” – Frame Rated Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% 3/5 “Opus frustratingly misses its biggest opportunities. A film about a group of culture commentators invited to a reclusive pop star’s compound should have been much more interesting than what is on offer here. ” – Frame Rated Mar 16, 2025 Full Review Sister Midnight (2024) 97% 3/5 “ The writing is frustrating in having such a smart set-up and ultimately undoing most of the hard work in the final act.” – Frame Rated Mar 13, 2025 Full Review One of Them Days (2025) 94% 3.5/5 “One of Them Days flies along at 100 mph the entire time, never stopping to catch its breath. Perhaps it would have benefitted from taking a moment to step back and sit in the joke rather than always having another situation and character ready to go. ” – Frame Rated Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 4/5 “The sincerity of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy makes it her best sequel yet. Some may miss the silly slapstick humour of past outings, but this feels like the right film for Bridget in this stage of her life.” – Frame Rated Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% B- “The Gorge is romantic, chilling, and thrilling despite the filmmaker’s best attempts to ruin it with clunky writing, overreliance on VFX, and an unfulfilling final act.” – Nerdspin Feb 13, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% 3.5/5 “Despite the short runtime, the movie manages to fully dive into the psychology of a woman struggling to find her place in a world that is moving too fast for her.” – Frame Rated Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% 3/5 “Considering how out there the plot is, Nightbitch holds back too much and doesn’t embrace its weirdness. It chooses to focus on ambiguity rather than completely letting go.” – Frame Rated Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Joy (2024) 91% 3/5 “While it was understandably softened for audiences, the women who sacrificed their hopes and their bodies to help millions of people achieve their goals of having children deserve more than a cosy Sunday night drama.” – Frame Rated Nov 10, 2024 Full Review Bird (2024) 86% 3.5/5 “Arnold should be lauded for her bold twist on the Ken Loach-style British social drama. However, the surrealist fairytale twist doesn’t elevate the key themes; instead, adding an emotional barrier.” – Frame Rated Nov 1, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 97% “It’s an empathetic and emotional tale about the guilt of becoming a successful third-generation immigrant, familiar love when you don’t always like each other, and the fact that looking at your history will never truly change who you are.” – That Hashtag Show Oct 26, 2024 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% 4/5 “The writing hits the perfect balance of never underplaying the horrors while not amplifying them, always leaving audiences with a hint of hope, even in the more devastating moments.” – Frame Rated Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% 4/5 “Instead of cutting it down to the crux, Hard Truths wants to explore the minutia of the family’s problems, wanting audiences to soak up every second of silence and awkward glance.” – Frame Rated Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Woman of the Hour (2023) 91% 3/5 “Anna Kendrick and screenwriter Ian McDonald struggle to balance depicting a true crime tale without sensationalising it. ” – Frame Rated Oct 21, 2024 Full Review All We Imagine as Light (2024) 100% 3.5/5 “The film is held together by the loosest of narratives with ordinary daily occurrences forming the big plot points. Kapadia’s screenplay smartly crafts organic, naturalistic conversations that feel unscripted, but don’t expect any big swings.” – Frame Rated Oct 20, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% 3/5 “We Live in Time is a glorified Hallmark movie that is sold by two charming performances. ” – Frame Rated Oct 19, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% 4/5 “Gabriel Sherman’s writing never managing to explore the psyche of these real-life figures deeply. Strong, Stan, and Bakalova could have easily sunk their teeth into funnier, darker and bolder writing than The Apprentice ultimately delivers. ” – Frame Rated Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Skincare (2024) 69% 3/5 “Skincare is a frothy, thinly written thriller that never lives up to its wild source material. The script might have been more effective if it had leaned into the comedic, satirical aspects rather than playing out like a bland yet good-looking thriller. ” – Frame Rated Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% 4/5 “Luca Guadagnino’s Queer demands audiences read between the lines and form their own narrative around the context. It won’t work for everyone, but it’s bold for a director at the top of his game to make a film this gutsy and unexpected.” – Frame Rated Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% 4/5 “Emilia Pérez isn’t afraid to go all out, which should be commended. Holding back on narrative threads may have been beneficial to the effectiveness of the storytelling, but Audiard should be praised for using the musical genre to say something. ” – Frame Rated Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Rumours (2024) 75% 2.5/5 “Audiences may walk away wondering how so many talented and well-known stars signed up for what comes across as a bad B-movie from 40 years ago. In the end, it’ll leave you wondering what the point of it all was.” – Frame Rated Oct 17, 2024 Full Review
