Departures (2025)
5/5
“This film feels like a Danny Boyle moment, injecting some much-needed dynamism into the genre. This is grass-roots cinema at its best. Stark, moving, edgy and drole, this is a genuinely exceptional feature debut.” –

3/5
“There’s certainly nothing offensive or dislikeable on show here, but there’s similarly very little to arrest our attention. It’s a nice way to spend a few hours, but so is going for a walk.” –

The Persian Version (2023)

3/5
“Colourful and vibrant, this beautifully revels in the charm of Persia, but is held back by dislikeable protagonist. But if you’re looking for a film that showcases all things Persian, this is definitely your film. ” –

What We Wrote Together (2024)
1/5
“There’s no tension, dilemma or character flaws, which means that this consists solely of three decidedly average millennials whingeing for 93 minutes. The script is inane, the direction bland and the cinematography is nothing beyond basic.” –

Elton John: Never Too Late (2024)

3/5
“If you’re a fan of Elton John, then this is a treat that gives a peak behind the curtain. But for those more casually acquainted with John’s work, this is a music-doc that doesn’t work very hard to convert new fans.” –

Who We Love (2021)
4/5
“At times funny, at others poignant, this is a totally necessary and thoroughly watchable teen-centric drama with a massive beating heart.” –

The Writer (2023)
2/5
“While it may be intellectually stimulating, it doesn’t quite work as entertainment. Its characters and plot are secondary to its philosophical musings, which feel more like the director’s manifesto than a piece of narrative storytelling.” –

Ganymede (2024)

2/5
“While Ganymede is able to capitalise on its metaphor and run with it, it doesn’t manage to sustain suspense long enough to keep us from chuckling about how ridiculous it all is.” –

Queer (2024)

3/5
“Though Daniel Craig revels in a career-best performance, he is underserved by Guadagnino’s unfocused reverie for Burroughs’ work. The result is a messy film that’s definitely artistic, but is only partially enjoyable.” –

My Old Ass (2024)

3/5
“Its performances are adequate while the script is light and sometimes funny. Its concept ticks away quietly in the background, almost secondary to the romance at the centre, but as light teen sci-fi goes, Freaky Friday it is not.” –

Upon Waking (2024)
2/5
“Where the bulk of the narrative is a contemplative character drama, its ending is a far-fetched genre movie that needs you to suspend your disbelief a LOT.” –

Barrio Boy (2023)
3/5
“There is certainly chemistry between its leads – and the camera is clearly in love with Quique too – but its edit is the film’s biggest hurdle, feeling clunky and actually unfinished. ” –

The Summer with Carmen (2023)

3/5
“This is a director playing with narrative and form, but that doesn’t quite cut it in terms of just telling us a good story. There’s no doubt this sweet, fizzy and sexy, but it’s about as satisfying as a lollipop.” –

One Last Night Of You (2024)
3/5
“Thoughtful and contemplative, this is an atmospheric drama that examines the joys of being alive, but as a romance it asks us to back away from the edge but doesn’t quite convince us why.” –

Misericordia (2024)
95%
3/5
“Guiraudie is trying to emulate the same style of his biggest film but without shedding the humour of the rest of his canon and, unsurprisingly, it doesn’t work. The result is half-tense, half-funny and only half-weird, making a film that’s only half-good.” –

Will & Harper (2024)

5/5
“While there is much discussion about how Harper has had to learn how to live as a trans person, we get to watch first hand as Will learns to be a good ally. It's this emotional journey that – like all good road-trip films – is the real heart of the film.” –

Power Alley (2023)
4/5
“It looks and sounds fantastic, popping from the screen with a sanguine brightness that’s symptomatic of an unjaded ingénue director. Halla’s voice is razor sharp, crafting a sports movie that’s more moral parable than anything to do with volleyball. ” –
