One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 89% 4/5 “One to One goes further than fan service for Beatlemaniacs. It’s a document of a febrile time and a wake-up call for a fizzled revolution.” – Time Out Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Bring Them Down (2024) 90% 4/5 “Bring Them Down is as bleak and chilly as a winter’s night in the Irish hinterland, and every bit as bracing.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2025 Full Review I Am Martin Parr (2024) 90% 4/5 “If it leaves you wanting more, so much the better, for there is a wonderful body of work to explore.” – Time Out Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Joy (2024) 91% 4/5 “Suffice to say that McKenzie does Purdy proud, while Norton is generous enough to balance history by ceding the floor to his leading lady. As for Nighy, he damn near steals the entire film. ” – Time Out Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Starve Acre (2023) 83% 3/5 “Although Kokotajlo doesn’t feel entirely at home in the horror genre, he is clearly a talent to be reckoned with. Perhaps he’s at his best when working -- as he did with Apostasy -- with more personal material.” – Time Out Sep 11, 2024 Full Review blur: To The End (2024) 87% 4/5 “It swerves formal interviews in favour of moments of friendship, joy, melancholia and reflection that transcend the ‘for the fans’ framework of a typical album/tour film and becomes something more meaningful.” – Time Out Jul 11, 2024 Full Review A Forgotten Man (2022) 78% 3/5 “Few filmmakers have challenged assumptions about so-called Swiss neutrality during World War II so directly, and Frölicher’s story is the perfect thread to pull in order to unravel the myths that surround Switzerland’s wartime position.” – Time Out Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Smoking Causes Coughing (2022) 94% 4/5 “The portmanteau structure suits Dupieux’s demented sensibility, providing a wildly varied yet consistently entertaining dose of bafflement and bemusement.” – Time Out Jul 6, 2023 Full Review How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022) 95% 4/5 “A film that isn’t quite the call to action it might have been. Still, its message resonates – and its bomb-setting scenes are as nail-biting as cinema’s best bomb disposals.” – Time Out Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Utama (2022) 96% 4/5 “If you only see one film about Bolivian llama farmers this year, make it Utama.” – Time Out Nov 22, 2022 Full Review Midwives (2022) 100% 4/5 “Snow Hnin finds grace notes of optimism to offset the bitterness of the film’s backdrop... it makes Midwives a thoughtful, empathetic and powerful insight into the region – and its women. ” – Time Out Oct 4, 2022 Full Review McEnroe (2022) 93% 4/5 “The best sports doc since Senna.” – Time Out Jul 1, 2022 Full Review The Fam (2021) 94% 3/5 “Social worker-turned-filmmaker Fred Bailliff shows us the other side of the story: the care workers desperately trying to reconcile state-sanctioned edicts with the reality on the ground.” – Time Out Feb 22, 2022 Full Review The Green Knight (2021) 89% 4/5 “A tale told mainly via startling visuals requires an actor with a singularly expressive face, and Patel rises to the challenge. He strips away knightly courage to reveal the fear lurking behind every so-called 'hero'.” – Time Out Sep 29, 2021 Full Review Black Bear (2020) 89% 4/5 “From the (often extremely) raw materials of personal experience, Levine has alchemised an unflinchingly honest psychological drama, anchored by a riveting Aubrey Plaza.” – Empire Magazine Apr 22, 2021 Full Review 76 Days (2020) 100% 4/5 “Compelling and surprising, 76 Days is a seemingly apolitical yet oddly sanitised fly-on-the-wall documentary that puts you on the front lines of an eerily well-managed response to the coronavirus outbreak.” – Empire Magazine Feb 7, 2021 Full Review The Fight (2020) 99% 4/5 “Wisely focusing on four key cases, The Fight is a worthy attempt to document the ACLU's seemingly endless struggle to challenge the many constitutional violations of the Trump administration.” – Empire Magazine Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Arkansas (2020) 51% 2/5 “Feeling like a relic from the wave of '90s crime ensembles that followed in Tarantino's wake, Arkansas not only squanders some good talent, it's a tragic waste of a fine book.” – Empire Magazine Jul 14, 2020 Full Review The Wrong Missy (2020) 33% 3/5 “The Wrong Missy is a little hit-and-miss, but it's funny and inventive, and Lapkus is good enough to make the word "zany" tolerable again.” – Empire Magazine May 13, 2020 Full Review Undocument (2017) 4/5 “A significant addition to the growing number of urgent, timely films on the global migrant crisis.” – Time Out Dec 9, 2019 Full Review The Good Liar (2019) 64% 3/5 “McKellen and Mirren, sharing the screen for the first time, are exquisitely matched in this slight but enjoyable yarn, which is like watching two magnificent vintage cars in a road race, without minding too much who wins.” – Empire Magazine Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Meeting Gorbachev (2018) 86% 4/5 “Herzog and Singer have assembled a riveting and moving portrait of Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Soviet president and arguably the greatest living politician, guided by Herzog's mellifluous voice and gently probing interview style.” – Empire Magazine Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Werewolf (Wilkolak) (2018) 94% 3/5 “It takes considerable chutzpah to make a horror film set during the Holocaust, but there's nothing exploitative about 'Werewolf'.” – Time Out Sep 27, 2019 Full Review Nomis (2018) 14% 2/5 “At a time when television is easier to make than films, it's a pity that a quart of plot in a pint-sized pot is largely to blame for this muddled misfire, which wastes some promising ideas and an impressive cast.” – Empire Magazine Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Escape Room (2019) 51% 3/5 “A welcome addition to the small subgenre of horror films where people don't act stupidly under extreme duress.” – Time Out Jan 21, 2019 Full Review
