The Return (2024) 78% “Binoche is exquisite, as distinguished and affecting as ever, but her character is peculiarly inconsistent -- rather than, as in Homer, provokingly opaque. Fiennes, though, is magnificent.” – New Statesman Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Sebastian (2024) 75% “This is a film about sex work and what it means to take possession of your own story that makes others seem artificial.” – New Statesman Mar 31, 2025 Full Review The End (2024) 56% “In his documentaries, Oppenheimer grappled with dangerous realities; here, he manipulates unresisting puppets. His intentions could not be better... I was longing for the end, though, as soon as it started.” – New Statesman Mar 21, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% “The Rule of Jenny Pen (much admired by Stephen King, incidentally) is unlike other horrors or thrillers in the way it confronts the realistic, even humdrum, fears of ageing.” – New Statesman Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “Bong is celebrated for his abrupt shifts in tone, finding comedy in horror, but this turn defeats him and undoes the whole movie.” – New Statesman Mar 5, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% “t is a tremendously controlled and inward performance by Torres... Her face holds the whole film. ” – New Statesman Feb 18, 2025 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% “The Seed of the Sacred Fig is not subtle, but it is nonetheless an immense achievement, revealing how different this revolt -- the Jina Revolution -- has been.” – New Statesman Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% “It’s a tour de force, another product of Leigh’s method of protracted workshopping and improvisation before the shoot (14 weeks of rehearsal, followed by a six-week shoot in this case). Pansy is as much her creation as Leigh’s, if not more so. ” – New Statesman Jan 24, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “Like it or not, it’s a towering achievement: to be seen.” – New Statesman Jan 21, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% “A Real Pain is only the second film Jesse Eisenberg has made as writer and director as well as actor, but it’s a masterpiece already.” – New Statesman Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% “Guadagnino, whose stock-in-trade is love-rapture, didn’t want to make a story about unrequited love. Yet that is precisely the bitter subject of Queer the novel.” – New Statesman Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% “Conclave has now been brilliantly translated to the big screen. It’s high entertainment, all components expertly marshalled. ” – New Statesman Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% “There’s no Crowe, but in every other way it follows the template remarkably closely. Short report: it’s a triumph, therefore. Loyalists rejoice: it is chock-full of fighting once again.” – New Statesman Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% “[Paddington in Peru] is enjoyable enough. But it is no match for its predecessors.” – New Statesman Nov 7, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% “You may think that you know enough already, and never want to watch a film about Trump. The Apprentice, though, deserves to be seen. It’s genuinely clarifying.” – New Statesman Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Timestalker (2024) 87% “Unlike the grounded Sightseers, this film has no real life, no shareable feeling: the subversion and deflation seem pointless, never funny. Why spoof a spoof?” – New Statesman Oct 10, 2024 Full Review The Outrun (2024) 82% “Ronan -- whose astonishing face at times resembles a carved, gothic Madonna -- is excellent throughout, always edgy, never making herself easily likeable, always isolated.” – New Statesman Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% “Perhaps it is not fair to judge on just one viewing. But unless it becomes a cult classic, treasured for its junkiness, that’s all most will be able to endure. For Megalopolis is a very silly story indeed, almost as dull as it is preposterous.” – New Statesman Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Firebrand (2023) 58% “Vikander gives her best performance since Ex Machina. She looks naturally so reserved and gentle, but this flawless, serene countenance masks great strength and resolve.” – New Statesman Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Widow Clicquot (2023) 80% “A dim, fawning account of the achievements of Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin (1777-1866), the original creator of the marque. ” – New Statesman Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Hollywoodgate (2023) 92% “Hollywoodgate is revelatory: truly brave film-making.” – New Statesman Aug 14, 2024 Full Review About Dry Grasses (2023) 92% “It would be a waste to see About Dry Grasses anywhere other than on the largest screen, in the darkest cinema. It not only repays the time, it makes a change of pace nothing less than a moral recalibration.” – New Statesman Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% “Clocking in at 165 minutes, the impact of Kinds of Kindness is cumulative and distinctly alienating, despite the various treats offered en route.” – New Statesman Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% “The film is set almost entirely in a three-day ice hockey camp for girls. Ice hockey! To non-American viewers, this is about as exciting and significant as competitive calligraphy. ” – New Statesman Jun 14, 2024 Full Review The Dead Don't Hurt (2023) 86% “Viggo Mortensen is an actor I’ll see in anything, but he has indulged himself here. Westerns are at best archaic. And actors need to be directed, not to direct.” – New Statesman Jun 5, 2024 Full Review
