Goldbeak (2021)
2/5
“Goldbeak is an object lesson in how much the actual animation matters in these films. You can get away with stock characters and a plot we’ve seen before if the animation is charming and unique.” –

The Thicket (2024)

3/5
“It’s probably somewhat too stately. But it is an odd, mostly compelling yarn, and acted with gusto and shot with real physical commitment to the wide open spaces and raw chill of the elements.” –

Demise (2023)
3/5
“It’s a little like the great tragic operas: why moralise when it’s so much more fun to watch the world burn?” –

Fran the Man (2025)
2/5
“The location footage feels authentic and lived-in, in a way the plot doesn’t, though said plot might matter less if the characters were given a bit more room to charm and entertain.” –

“A little more craft on the storytelling side could have elevated this to something special a la Dungeons and Dragons from 2023, but it’s an enjoyable if hectic experience nonetheless.” –

“It’s a frequent complaint that a film is boring because nothing happens, but here is an example where the problem is things are just constantly happening, creating a kind of antics-fatigue.” –

Bloody Axe Wound (2024)

2/5
“You’re left with the sense that these ingredients, mixed slightly differently, could have added up to something rather more delicious, but as it is, your attention is drawn repeatedly to the artificiality of it all.” –

Like Tears in Rain (2023)
3/5
“More of a curio aimed at those who simply can’t get enough Hauer, than something that a wider audience could get a lot out of. It’s a shame as something really interesting could have been done with the archive, but what’s emerged is a bit of a DVD extra.” –

Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. (2024)

4/5
“As a thriller, this is not really thrilling enough. And as a biopic, it’s not necessarily representative of the spirit of the man. But it’s solid enough film even if it’s not particularly trendy.” –

“It's easy on the eyes in more ways than one, and while there's fun to be had with the meta conceit, it's not a taxing intellectual exercise.” –

Cara (2024)

“There are some decent PG-rated thrills and scares for the preteen audience, but adults are unlikely to find it especially convincing, with clunky dialogue and a generic score letting down a solidly traditional spooky mystery.” –
