Away (2019)
100%
4/5
“Away has the mild rush of a coming-of-age dream, the sort that lodges in your memory as symbolic and significant as you pass from one stage of life to the next.” –

Hard Truths (2024)
95%
4/5
“It’s a film of deep empathy, but a tough one, too. Leigh and his collaborators don’t have any easy answers as to why Pansy is this way, or if she’ll ever be different. What they leave us with is a character who’s richly and roundly drawn.” –

Anora (2024)

5/5
“It shouldn’t all be so funny, but it is, and it’s to Baker’s huge credit that he’s able to inspire laughs and huge enjoyment from this madcap story without leaving you feeling that the woman at the heart of this mess has been short-changed.” –

3/5
“It’s a film of bold ideas and moments of terrific atmosphere and visual power, but those strengths are often neutered by a lack of storytelling precision, with various strands coming and going. ” –

Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie (2024)
65%
3/5
“As history, I’d take this account with a pinch of salt -- it feels too enamoured by certain elements of its antihero’s story and blinkered to others -- but as an exercise in capturing the man’s self-engineered legend, it’s energetic and engrossing.” –

Bird (2024)
86%
4/5
“If ever a film puts its arm round a kid and says: ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got you’, that’s "Bird" and Bailey. She’s a character you feel Arnold would lie on railtracks to protect – and that’s a powerful, moving instinct to share.

About Dry Grasses (2023)

“About Dry Grasses is as serious as you’d expect from Ceylan, but there’s also a self-reflective, playful angle to this one, and a seam of black humour that’s been missing from his recent films. ” –

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

“It’s adventure, though, that everyone really wants from an Indiana Jones movie, and on that front it delivers... Add to that the rousing familiarity of John Williams’s score, and it all amounts to a comforting if not especially challenging reboot.” –

“This is a smart, meaningful first film, with nods all over the place to classics like The Shining and Rosemary's Baby, as well as more recent obvious touch points like Get Out. It's not all subtle, but then neither is prejudice.” –
