G20 (2025) 58% 3/5 “Unburdened by narrative logic, there is a joie de vivre in the way Davis, 59, throws men over her shoulder, elbows them in the face and sprays them with machine-gun fire.” – Times (UK) Apr 14, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% 4/5 “This adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel about a serial-killing New York banker is almost 20 years old and has aged rather well. ” – Times (UK) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 80% 4/5 “After seeing it, I felt deeply lucky to be chained to a desk.” – Times (UK) Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% 4/5 “Directed with a characteristic lack of inhibition by Ken Russell.” – Times (UK) Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Dog Man (2025) 80% 4/5 “Hastings preserves Pilkey's key ingredients: lavatorial sniggers, winking details, a kid-made aesthetic...” – Times (UK) Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Luther: Never Too Much (2024) 98% 4/5 “This is a long overdue celebration of one of the greats of soul music, who died 20 years ago. ” – Times (UK) Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 3/5 “Well, the bad news is that Paddington in Peru isn’t as good as Paddington 2. The good news is that Wilson has made an entertaining and endearing yarn that is worth 106 minutes of your time.” – Times (UK) Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Juror #2 (2024) 93% 3/5 “If it’s a farewell from Eastwood it’s a flawed but absorbing one.” – Times (UK) Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 5/5 “Each change of tone is handled with sinuous ease by Baker, one of the best independent directors, who is finally getting the props he deserves.” – Times (UK) Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 4/5 “Grant has indecent amounts of fun with a script that somehow joins the dots between Abrahamic religion, Monopoly, Jar Jar Binks and the Hollies’ The Air That I Breathe and his two co-stars bounce off him satisfyingly.” – Times (UK) Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) 100% 4/5 “The fun, as ever, comes from a mix of familiarity and ingenuity. ” – Times (UK) Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% 4/5 “It is the animated Lego biographical documentary that we didn’t know we needed: this portrait of Pharrell Williams is an exuberant joy. ” – Times (UK) Oct 23, 2024 Full Review That Christmas (2024) 67% 2/5 “That Christmas is like a neutered Motherland, or Pixar but lobotomised and dressed by Boden.” – Times (UK) Oct 23, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 5/5 “This is a story that is perfectly weighted between bleak and warm, poignant and irreverent.” – Times (UK) Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% 4/5 “In an era when we are quick to admonish bad behaviour, it’s a reminder of the importance of asking why someone may be behaving badly.” – Times (UK) Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Elton John: Never Too Late (2024) 77% “This is intimate, consequential stuff, and with so much focus on his implosions you can see why John wanted to cede the limelight for part of the film to one of the few people above him in the rock pantheon: John Lennon. ” – Times (UK) Oct 14, 2024 Full Review The Mind Benders (1963) 4/5 “What a strange and unnerving film this is, buzzing with mental implosions, Cold War paranoia and patrician arrogance.” – Times (UK) Sep 25, 2024 Full Review The Critic (2023) 52% 3/5 “Vintage London theatreland is lovingly recreated, though, and the McKellen and Arterton show is a hoot.” – Times (UK) Sep 13, 2024 Full Review His Three Daughters (2023) 98% 4/5 “Written and directed by Azazel Jacobs, the film sometimes feels like a play. Is that a bad thing, though, especially when the performances are this good and the script so full of unsentimental poignancy? ” – Times (UK) Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% 4/5 “Asian-Americans are becoming more prominent in popular culture and Didi, a semi-autobiographical tale written and directed by the Taiwanese-American film-maker Sean Wang, is insightful on racial self-loathing as well as bigotry. ” – Times (UK) Aug 2, 2024 Full Review The Neverending Story (1984) 84% 4/5 “The effects look cardboardy by today’s standards but the puppets and animatronics are great, especially Falkor, the dog-like “luck dragon”.” – Times (UK) Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024) 27% 3/5 “The film will probably play best with 7 to 12-year-olds and its wholesome message about the importance of creativity is surely one we can all get behind. ” – Times (UK) Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Chariots of Fire (1981) 84% 4/5 “Never, with the possible exception of Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible, has running looked so cinematic.” – Times (UK) Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 4/5 “Ebulliently directed by Shawn Levy, this is a hyperactive cheese dream that brings together two of Marvel’s best characters and a supporting cast who will have nerds frothing at the mouth.” – Times (UK) Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 56% 3/5 “Yet it’s saved by the trademark mischief and exuberance of Illumination, the French animators who are as integral to the franchise as Steve Carell’s vaguely Slavic voice acting.” – Times (UK) Jul 12, 2024 Full Review
