Warfare (2025) 93% 2.5/5 “You half expect Garland, Mendoza, and the cast to march on screen and start singing: “Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E! Forever let us hold our banner high! High! High! High!”” – Impulse Gamer Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% 4.5/5 “Flow is one of the most visually arresting films I have seen. As with the very best cinema though, its images continue to enhance its themes. ” – Impulse Gamer Mar 22, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 3.5/5 “I’m Still Here shows even the bleakest stories can be beautifully lined with optimism. ” – Impulse Gamer Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 3.5/5 “The film is worth seeing for the performances alone even if the story is not quite an affair to remember. ” – Impulse Gamer Feb 22, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 4.5/5 “A hilarious, insightful road movie that is buoyed by two excellent, contrasting performances. ” – Impulse Gamer Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 4.5/5 “Anora is a great showcase for actress Mikey Madison. She enriches scenes with dark humour and an expressiveness that underlines the deepest longing for human connection recently put on film. ” – Impulse Gamer Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Juror #2 (2024) 93% 4/5 “Juror #2 is one of the tightest thrillers director Clint Eastwood has made in years. Shame on Warner Bros. for not having any faith in its modest but dependable adult storytelling. ” – Impulse Gamer Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 2.5/5 “Gladiator II is bigger, louder, and more fragmented than its predecessor but not better. It looks strong but lacks emotion and concludes with a terrible finale.” – Impulse Gamer Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night (2024) 78% 2/5 “Its just not that funny and it doesn’t build enough suspense either. How could they waste Rachel Sennott's comic talents like that? ” – Impulse Gamer Oct 26, 2024 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 3.5/5 “Adam Elliot is pushing the boundaries of modern animation. This is a study of a life and how grief can stifle a person’s emotional development. ” – Impulse Gamer Oct 19, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% 3.5/5 “Megan Park’s second feature film is a short, sweet, and likeable coming-of-age story. What more could you ask for? ” – Impulse Gamer Sep 28, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% 1/5 “Francis Ford Coppola only had a concept of a plan. This is a poor film that fails to sustain its dramatic tension or fully utilise its rich cast.” – Impulse Gamer Sep 22, 2024 Full Review Kid Snow (2024) 2.5/5 “Phoebe Tonkin’s tough, resilient turn as Sunny is a highlight. Like its leads though, Kid Snow won’t stand toe to toe with its heavyweight competitors.” – Impulse Gamer Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% 3.5/5 “A highly confronting film that is impossible to ignore. Its worth seeing for Willa Fitzgerald’s visceral performance alone. ” – Impulse Gamer Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Fly Me to the Moon (2024) 65% 3/5 “Scarlett Johansson prevents this likeable, harmless, but frivolous film from cratering. ” – Impulse Gamer Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% 3/5 “There are many positives to draw from Civil War, a topical and highly suspenseful film. ” – Impulse Gamer Apr 27, 2024 Full Review Robot Dreams (2023) 98% 4/5 “For anyone interested in modern animation or seeking a film with feeling and humour this is one of the first movies of 2024 that is not to be missed.” – Impulse Gamer Apr 13, 2024 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% 3.5/5 “An enormously fun genre exercise where we care about the heroine’s survival amid many violent collisions. ” – Impulse Gamer Mar 16, 2024 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% 3/5 “While ambiguous and removed from characters and plot, the audio-vision enriches Zone's story in unique and unsettling ways. ” – Impulse Gamer Feb 24, 2024 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 93% 4.5/5 “As Poor Things suggests, people emerge in bizarre ways and Lanthimos’ own impulses reflect this strange, exciting, and memorable form. ” – Impulse Gamer Jan 9, 2024 Full Review Dream Scenario (2023) 91% 4/5 “Dream Scenario is a striking blend of fantasy, humour, violence, and cultural satire. ” – Impulse Gamer Dec 30, 2023 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% 3/5 “Strong technical elements and violent artistry salvage this uneven historical biopic of Napoleon Bonaparte. ” – Impulse Gamer Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 4.5/5 “The film is haunting and memorable, which considering the budget and talent is its own sizable achievement. ” – Impulse Gamer Nov 5, 2023 Full Review Dumb Money (2023) 84% 2.5/5 “Isn’t it time that Woodley received a role that is befitting of her strong emotional range and naturalism? She is completely underused here. ” – Impulse Gamer Oct 22, 2023 Full Review Scrapper (2023) 94% 3/5 “The presence of Lola Campbell is undeniable, and the story’s slightness makes it suitable for adolescents seeking a well-told coming of age story. ” – Impulse Gamer Sep 13, 2023 Full Review
