The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% 2/5 “The film never hits the heights of charm for which it’s aiming. ” – Little White Lies Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% 2/5 “Malek’s icy performance does little to endear the viewer to Charlie, while his ultra-tactile relationship with his wife – presented in gauzy flashbacks – never feels entirely authentic.” – Little White Lies Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The Return (2024) 78% 3/5 “There’s something quite free and pure about this adaptation, with an unblinking, era-specific treatment of the male form.” – Little White Lies Apr 10, 2025 Full Review DIG! XX (2024) 100% 3/5 “This 20th anniversary refit/remaster of 2004’s cult rock-shock-doc Dig! proves that no amount of inadvisable retroactive tinkering can diminish the quality of a core product that’s this good. ” – Little White Lies Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Santosh (2024) 100% 3/5 “It’s a slow, detailed procedural, one which carefully draws you into its dismal intrigue – and it’s engrossing for much of its runtime. ” – Little White Lies Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% 2/5 “ It’s all very random and, in terms of its metaphorical intent, extremely strident, and eventually Green struggles to give Moretti an interesting motivation for his big return to the scene.” – Little White Lies Mar 17, 2025 Full Review All Happy Families (2023) 86% 3/5 “ The throbbing interpersonal strains intensify with a gentle logic, even if, tonally, the film does sometimes stray into a mid-tier streaming dramady serial at times.” – Little White Lies Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Tornado (2025) “Unfortunately the idiosyncratic touches have usurped rather than bolstered what should be robust, time-honoured noir framework, and we’re left with a film which leaves only a superficial impression and little sense of purpose.” – Little White Lies Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Guo Ran (2025) “Cinematically speaking, there’s nothing here that feels particularly new or innovative, but its intimate chronicle of a miscarriage – from first signs of blood spotting to returning home from the hospital in a daze – is both unique and necessary.” – Little White Lies Feb 21, 2025 Full Review I Am Martin Parr (2024) 90% 2/5 “The relationship between artist and subject when it comes to Parr is presented as deeply superficial.” – Little White Lies Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 3/5 “Elliot and his team deserve praise for making a stop-motion film that doesn’t lean on the usual array of snap-talking critters and easy-on-the-eye visual wonderment, and Memoir of a Snail is certainly a true original in its tone and execution.” – Little White Lies Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Vitrival - The Most Beautiful Village In The World (2025) “It’s a remarkably confident and polished debut, its characters richly drawn and its portrayal of village life lovingly authentic.” – Little White Lies Feb 7, 2025 Full Review The Fire Inside (2024) 93% 2/5 “Shields is a worthwhile subject and her accomplishments are incredible, but this film is perhaps one for underdog sports enthusiasts only.” – Little White Lies Feb 5, 2025 Full Review First Person Plural (2000) “Special mention must go to Rui Xavier’s cinematography which manages to feel but exacting and completely loose, framed and blocked to perfection, but also open to the actors’ random flights of fancy. ” – Little White Lies Feb 3, 2025 Full Review By the Stream (2024) 100% 4/5 “This is the breeziest, most overtly congenial Hong film for a very long time.” – Little White Lies Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Serpent's Path (2024) “It’s a singularly dismal affair, one that sits in a necessarily uncomfortable place between genre thriller and arthouse doodle. But this is another intriguing exercise in cultivating a tone of extreme unease and just sustaining it until the credits roll.” – Little White Lies Jan 24, 2025 Full Review I Am Nevenka (2024) 73% “It’s a trashy, tabloid-y film, but it’s a fine one, and a story that still needs to be told again, and again, and again.” – Little White Lies Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Here (2024) 37% 2/5 “... The film is so self-conscious in its pursuit of what is an essentially unattainable goal, that it all ends up coming across as re-fried soap opera.” – Little White Lies Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Emmanuelle (2024) 17% 2/5 “The film is not wanting for alluring, dramatic situations, but the filmmakers seem at best haplessly blind and at worst blithely dismissive of their potential. ” – Little White Lies Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Architecton (2024) 93% 3/5 “... There’s much ASMR pleasure to be gleaned from the ambient long shots of machinery layering up long, perfect lines of concrete for some upcoming blight on the landscape.” – Little White Lies Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3/5 “Maybe this reads like we’re making excuses, but it feels like the main issues with the film fall beyond Jenkins’ purview as a director...” – Little White Lies Dec 24, 2024 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) 48% 3/5 “It’s predictably rousing, and Tolkien heads will probably enjoy many of the callbacks to the original trilogy, but as a film in its own right, it’s all a little overblown and unnecessary.” – Little White Lies Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 3/5 “It’s all competently performed and executed, with loud booms of sound cued to each scene change as an attempt to ramp up the tension, and lots of behind-the-head tracking shots of cardinals anxiously pacing through corridors and stairways. ” – Little White Lies Dec 11, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 2/5 “Sure, Bob Dylan was no stickler for the truth when it came to concocting his own mythos, but at least through his sublime poetry he was able to revel essential, obscure truths about the world. James Mangold has yet to earn that right.” – Little White Lies Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Witches (2024) 88% 4/5 “So the film mutates a little bit from playful essay to necessary advocacy doc, yet in its final passages Sankey also manages to ingeniously thread the needle between her two subjects.” – Little White Lies Nov 22, 2024 Full Review
