Havoc (2025)

4/5
EDIT
“...the plot feels somewhat overstuffed as it strains to cover a similar scale of narrative... It also means that the action takes a little while to arrive — but when it does, it lands like a nuclear missile.” –

“Compelling and excellently acted, September 5 is a shining study of journalistic integrity, even if it skips some of the bigger and more important questions raised by the event it documents.” –

4/5
EDIT
“An exploration of carnal desire that is at once fiercely erotic, nuanced and raucously funny, with Kidman charging into the breach, flaws bared, taking everything that Reijn hurls her way.” –

Twisters (2024)
75%
4/5
EDIT
“Where the film underserves certain characters, it more than delivers on action. The concept of upgrading a tornado may seem like a strange one, but the sequel pulls it off with visual flourishes that range from terrifying to outrageously good fun.” –

“More of a slow burn than a thrill-ride, this study of bygone motorhead mentality at its most visceral and violent is gorgeously shot — but only nicks the surface.” –

EDIT
“By stifling Hart’s seasoned comedy-fuelled charisma, this overly stylised crime caper is a turbulent ride. Stay for Mbatha-Raw’s righteous action skills, which should propel her to bigger and bolder things.” –

“With its woozy aesthetic and dynamic, beguiling cast, Priscilla is textbook Sofia Coppola: not breaking the mould, but a sublime continuation of her sad-girl sensibilities.” –

Genie (2023)

EDIT
“Critiquing the very thing it also sets out to do, Genie is the movie equivalent of a dog chasing its own tail, but is (barely) saved from the wrapping-paper pile by the amiable chemistry of its stars.” –
