Woman of the Hour (2023)
91%
3/5
“Woman Of The Hour isn’t the serial-killer thriller you’d expect, but more noble for it. Kendrick shows promise as a director, her lacklustre male antagonist hammering home this film’s purpose.” –

3/5
“Page shines bright in an otherwise formulaic story, but this is still a thoughtful, sensitive portrait of a young man coming to terms with his sense of self and the love he deserves.” –

Unicorns (2023)

3/5
“A compelling if formulaic star-crossed lovers’ narrative. Come for a wordless seduction, stay for the complexities of parenthood, drag queens and family loyalties that deserve more of your time.” –

The Idea of You (2024)

4/5
“Deceptively courageous and perceptive on parasocial celebrity culture — and on the fallacy that women have expiration dates — The Idea Of You has good, clean fun with two characters it’s impossible not to love.” –

“These teens may be a bit messy (who isn’t?) but it’s a joy to have Diablo Cody back to telegraph a new kind of adolescent horror, with a smile full of teeth.” –

Polite Society (2023)

4/5
“A spunky, spiky action comedy that lives on the charisma of its leading ladies and the innovative spirit of director Nida Manzoor. Sisterhood is eternal; weird movies must be protected at all costs.” –

Foe (2023)

3/5
“An emotional, if familiar, take on loyalty and technology in a world where love and survival feel near-impossible. Reid’s writing shines and there’s nobody better than Mescal and Ronan to broadcast heartbreak.” –

Sumotherhood (2023)
42%
3/5
“Deacon feels his way through a messy string of what might work nicely as sketch vignettes instead of an actual feature –but if you know who and what you’re in for as you part with your cash at the ticket counter, it’s hard to not crack at least one smile.” –

Saltburn (2023)
71%
4/5
“It’s in service of the dizzying adventure of a story, undoubtedly wrestling with class and deception as much as desire and the plain silliness of youth. It’s all there, but one of the greatest pleasures of Saltburn is just being invited to the party.” –
