The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% 3/5 “The unorthodox narrative and tonal whiplash of The Penguin Lessons make it an oddity. Nevertheless, the charismatic cast and the convictions of its sentiments make it an intriguing and ultimately life-affirming watch.” – Cinerama Film Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% 4/5 “Armed with the desire to replicate the experience of being in an active warzone, the result is stellar craft and uncompromising ferocity.” – Cinerama Film Apr 16, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% 3/5 “As an espionage thriller, The Amateur is fairly rote, but there’s excitement to be found as an examination of how a thirst for vengeance can challenge or destroy one’s humanity.” – Cinerama Film Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 2/5 “That the film is essentially about unicorns eating the rich is thoroughly appreciated, but not enough to save it from its tonal confusion and its general lack of individuality beyond the ironic central gimmick.” – Flick Feast Apr 2, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 2/5 “A Working Man is too scattershot to be compelling and too undercooked to be entertaining.” – Cinerama Film Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 1/5 “The Electric State is ugly, artificial content constructed by algorithms over sincerity, designed for bored consumers to slap on in the background instead of engaging with fun or rewarding cinema. The Russo brothers should be ashamed of themselves.” – Flick Feast Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 40% 2/5 “All in all, The Alto Knights fails to generate much investment beyond De Niro’s intriguing dual efforts.” – Cinerama Film Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 3/5 “Novocaine won’t redefine the genre, but this one is solidly fun as far as action comedies go. Inventively gory fight scenes and two fetching lead performances make this a breezy and enjoyable, if occasionally uncomfortable, picture.” – Cinerama Film Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 1/5 “Where the 1937 film reinvented what animation could achieve, this remake’s haphazard blending of live-action, mechanical storytelling, and revolting CGI generates weary discomfort over genuine enchantment.” – Cinerama Film Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 4/5 “Mickey 17 isn’t always airtight, but it confidently continues director Bong’s exploration of rich, socio-political themes. As idiosyncratic as ever, with a joyous leading performance, it’s a flashy, timely, reminder on the vitality of class solidarity.” – The People's Movies Mar 14, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 97% 3/5 “It may not reinvent the genre that it belongs to, but it’s nonetheless an easy-going crowd pleaser that’s sure to leave audiences tapping their feet along to its music and earnestness.” – The People's Movies Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Homegrown (2024) 2/5 “It’s a curious idea, particularly for those morbidly curious about the worst side of politics, but the end result comes across more like passive enablement than anything politically enticing.” – The People's Movies Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Stealing Pulp Fiction (2024) 1/5 ““Stealing Pulp Fiction” is one of the worst comedies of recent memory; a film that may incentivise you into following its putrid characters’ lead and stealing the digital print to spare innocents from its awfulness.” – In Their Own League Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Zero (2024) 50% 1/5 “Many cinematic thrillers have detailed the efforts to prevent an imminent explosion, but this is the first time I’ve been envious of the person strapped to the bomb.” – In Their Own League Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Sew Torn (2024) 95% 3/5 “Sew Torn is a delightfully idiosyncratic crime thriller that strings together compelling themes, humorously odd visuals, and a magnetic central performance.” – The People's Movies Mar 6, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 66% 3/5 “A fun, if superficial, underdog dramedy that laughs in the face of capitalist exploitation, it stays afloat thanks to its brisk craftsmanship and glowing central performance.” – In Their Own League Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Harvest (2024) 55% 2/5 “It’s a case of individual strengths that add up to an undercooked whole. With inconsistent craftsmanship and a protagonist who lacks any sense of agency, its otherwise admirable ambitions sadly go unrealised.” – The People's Movies Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Peacock (2024) 4/5 “Matthias is a lonely man who needs to make peace with himself before he can form legitimate connections in place of the fake ones he has amassed. It’s stunning work that’s wonderfully acted and full of ample thematic nutrition.” – In Their Own League Mar 2, 2025 Full Review Ghostlight (2024) 99% 4/5 “By using the theatre as a space for the characters to connect and face their strife under the guise of escaping it, “Ghostlight” becomes profoundly moving, and heartwarmingly sincere in its understanding of complex inner turmoil.” – In Their Own League Mar 2, 2025 Full Review Tornado (2025) 3/5 “A revenge story set to the backdrop of beautiful rural scenery, it juggles intriguing themes and exciting action thrills with agile skill.” – In Their Own League Mar 2, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 4/5 “A blistering film on resilience in the face of oppression, it juggles tragedy and power dexterously.” – The People's Movies Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% 3/5 “Proud of its absurdity, while also packing solid suspense and humanistic themes, it’s as gory and unruly as it is bizarrely humorous.” – Flick Feast Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% 4/5 “SING SING is not just a beautifully made, powerfully acted prison drama – it’s living proof of what can be achieved when we nurture compassion and creativity.” – TAKE ONE Magazine Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 4/5 “Memoir of a Snail proves a wonderful work of animation. Bleak and morbid in abundance, it uses its stellar animated craft to champion humanity and inner strength even in the face of a lifetime of trauma.” – Flick Feast Feb 15, 2025 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% 4/5 “The Seed of the Sacred Fig is absolutely nail-biting. Thrilling, horrifying and superbly acted, it’s as meticulously atmospheric as it is vocal in its political convictions.” – Cinerama Film Feb 12, 2025 Full Review
