This Is Me... Now: A Love Story (2024) 75% “[This Is Me...Now] is, in other words, bizarre. But it is never unwatchable – despite the lack of plot and its working assumption that we are all obsessed with J-Lo’s dating life.” – Irish Times Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson (2025) 2/5 “By fixating on the legal aspects of the story, the music industry which continues to make millions off Jackson’s tainted legacy is left entirely off the hook.” – iNews.co.uk Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy (2025) 1/5 “The accusations against Combs are serious and deserve a more thoughtful analysis than what’s on offer...” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Beatles '64 (2024) 95% 2/5 “Yet another starry-eyed documentary about the band has little to make it stand out in a crowded field.” – iNews.co.uk Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Midas Man (2024) 82% 3/5 “It’s a breezy watch with nothing insightful to impart... But it is guided by the implicit understanding that any project about the Beatles will inevitably find an audience – and that is an itch it undeniably scratches. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Lonely Planet (2024) 40% 1/5 “In Lonely Planet, the flayed cadaver of When Harry Met Sally is grafted to the freshly disinterred remains of Sofia Coppola’s Lost In Translation and sent shambling out into the world. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Will & Harper (2024) 99% 3/5 “Yet for all these quibbles, the interludes when Harper opens up are raw and devastating.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Kneecap (2024) 96% 4/5 “Hard-punching and cheerfully riotous, the film directs a well-placed kick at the nether regions to anyone who insists music, politics and cinema cannot mix. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Jackpot! (2024) 31% 2/5 “The film’s writer Rob Yescombe has a background in video games, and much of the story unfolds out like a cut Playstation scene that never gets to the point.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Sky Peals (2023) 100% 3/5 “Hussain extracts maximum value from the setting – a liminal zone where stopping off for chicken nuggets and a petrol refill comes with a side-serving of Kubrickian angst. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Fancy Dance (2023) 96% 4/5 “Erica Tremblay has a background in documentary-making and brings an unflinching eye to her depiction of life on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 28, 2024 Full Review A Family Affair (2024) 35% 1/5 “... Though A Family Affair shoots for laughs, it ends up in an uncanny valley of spooky sex and dead-on-arrival jokes.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Atlas (2024) 19% 3/5 “It’s an action film an AI could have scripted but you’d have to have a circuit loose not to get caught up in the high-octane silliness.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 28, 2024 Full Review Evil Does Not Exist (2023) 91% 4/5 “... A fraught study of a community besieged by the modern world and determined to resist it, whatever the cost.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 5, 2024 Full Review The Promised Land (2023) 97% 4/5 “Western fans and connoisseurs of mid-budget European cinema don’t typically have much on which they can agree. The Promised Land builds a bridge between the two and makes the crossing entirely worthwhile. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Lift (2024) 30% 2/5 “This Ocean’s Eleven knock-off has zero charm.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 12, 2024 Full Review The Beekeeper (2024) 71% 4/5 “Thirty years ago, The Beekeeper would have starred Jean-Claude Van Damme or Dolph Lundgren while the villain’s boots would have been filled by Rutger Hauer or Dennis Hopper if he had to pay for another divorce.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 84% 4/5 “For giddy gore-hounds, Roth’s Thanksgiving is a bloody feast to savour. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Sound of Freedom (2023) 57% 1/5 “It’s bizarre, unsettling and yet – in the filmmaking equivalent of turning wine to water – bracingly dull to boot. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) 99% 4/5 “Framed in a Polaroid-style Seventies haze, the mood is Classic Coke ad meets the Wonder Years, a sugary concoction that goes down perfectly. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 18, 2023 Full Review Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman (2023) 100% 4/5 “But where the film shines is in exploring the friendship between Bono and the Edge.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 21, 2023 Full Review 80 for Brady (2023) 59% 2/5 “It could have been one more late-career hurrah by Fonda and her fellow screen greats. Instead, 80 For Brady flubs the touchdown.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (2023) 46% 3/5 “Rock remains a live-wire at 58. Yet many of the jokes have a reheated, straight-from-the-microwave quality. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 5, 2023 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) 90% 4/5 “Berger’s evocation of war and its horrors ultimately connects not at an intellectual level but where it truly matters: in the gut.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Halloween Ends (2022) 40% 3/5 “If Halloween Ends is often sluggish and silly, Myers powers through the mediocrity one brutal swipe at a time.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 13, 2022 Full Review
