Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night Of Your Life (2025)
3/5
“Goldstein undercuts his hard nut persona with wry gags and absurd philosophical leaps. The tone can be uneven, but the concept is solid.” –

Sons of Ecstasy (2025)

“Some of the diversions work better than others (shout-out to the puppetry team), but there are still just enough gags that transcend stupidity for subversive insight. ” –

Your Friend, Nate Bargatze (2024)
“"Your Friend" uses observational humour, has no interest in culture wars, and is about clean as a contemporary comedian can be in 2024 -- it’s also consistently funny. Expect a slew of imitators in the next few years.” –

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)
100%
4/5
“Not quite on the level of the one previous Wallace and Gromit feature, the 2005 masterpiece The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but as an unexpected late addition to this far from Hollywood franchise it’s a welcome encapsulation of the project’s pillars.” –

“Carry-On does everything a decent Hollywood genre movie should: concise on the plotting, tense when time gets tight, and a showcase for star Taron Egerton.” –

Bread & Roses (2023)

“Recordings by the women, somewhat unevenly edited together, show the reality of conservative theological repression: no schooling for girls, no jobs for women, no public voice. The film plays as an act of resistance.” –

Killer Heat (2024)

His Three Daughters (2023)

“The storytelling is never schematic. The divide between the three women, and the uncertain bridging, feels lodged in the granular. That makes for an actor’s showcase, and all three leads deliver exceptional performances that are linked.” –

Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats (2024)

“Rogan cycles through all the predictable targets -- wokeness! gender! -- but his gags are neither illuminating nor original. His stage persona is of the bro happily talking nonsense that you shouldn’t take seriously. That he gets right.” –
