Shadowbox (2025) “Bars are a recurring motif in Shadowbox/ Baksho Bondi, emphasising the loneliness and isolation of its characters. One of them will end up in prison by the end, as the recurring visual cannily foreshadows, but for now, they’re all trapped.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 93% “Hamlet is about people pretending to be something they’re not; but the GTA version is perversely revealing: we may not know what the actors look like until the very end, but we know what’s haunting them.” – Sight & Sound Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% “Playing Eddie and Venom, Tom Hardy wrings a surprising amount of sentiment from a performance that essentially involves talking to himself, and the film derives its tender tone from the notion that this partnership might finally have to come to an end.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% “History might keep repeating itself, but there's no reason for cinematic retreads to be this tiresome too.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Pathaan (2023) 82% “Pathaan sums up Shak Rukh Khan’s triumphant comeback in just two words: “Zinda hai (Still alive).” No amount of CGI-enhanced spectacle can match the sheer delight of watching real star power in action.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Tenet (2020) 70% “Orson Welles’ assertion that a movie in production is the biggest train set a boy could have is routinely borne out by Christopher Nolan films, in which planes are wrecked with giddy glee.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) 98% “By 2018, a franchise that began with Tom Cruise dangling from the ceiling of a Langley vault was dangling him off a 1,981-foot-high cliff, illustrating how Mission Impossible’s stunts have only gotten bigger, bolder and more bonkers. ” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Grindhouse Presents: Death Proof (2007) 67% “The two halves of Death Proof each conclude with a superb car sequence: one a crash, the other a chase; one at night, the other at daytime; one sickening, the other supremely satisfying.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Face/Off (1997) 93% “In John Woo’s Face/Off, the unhinged intensity of the actors’ performances and outlandish absurdity of its plot is matched only by the relentless excess of its action. ” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Sholay (1975) 94% “The film's most celebrated action sequence is as propulsive as the train it’s set on, as one outlaw shovels coal into the locomotive furnace to speed it up, while another picks off converging bandits. But its most indelible scenes draw out time instead.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review The Most Dangerous Game (1932) 100% “One stretch cuts between the actor's eyes and his point-of-view in tight close-up as he doggedly stalks his prey through the jungle, vision obscured by dense foliage. In another, the camera keeps pace alongside a pack of ferocious hunting dogs.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review The Bloodhound (2020) 93% “Director Patrick Picard hones in on the isolation at the heart of Edgar Allan Poe’s story.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Two Evil Eyes (1990) 63% “Two masterful horror directors spin Poe’s tales into an anthology of contemporary narratives that center men attempting to get away with murder.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972) 100% “Death and desire are inextricable in this clever reworking of Poe’s short story, which trades the first-person POV of a man ruing the growing blight upon his soul for a slasher thriller in which the identity of the perpetrator initially remains a mystery.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review The Masque of the Red Death (1964) 91% “For all its elaborate, theatrical staging and grand declarations, however, the film doesn’t lean into camp despite lines such as, “This is your day of deliverance, remember?” The result is more akin to that of Shakespearean tragedy. ” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) 89% “The sickening dread this film builds up during a climactic sequence is eventually subverted, but The Pit and the Pendulum still conjures up one last stomach-sinking image to sear into memory before it ends.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review The Tell-Tale Heart (1953) “Ted Parmelee’s Oscar-nominated short is just eight minutes long, but those are enough – the sensation of the walls closing in lingers long after.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) 100% “Adapting a story that hinges on the protagonist’s acute sound sensitivity into a silent film is tricky, but Jean Epstein’s work endures on the strength of its images alone.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review The Avenging Conscience (1914) “Its ending is bound to be fiercely divisive, but the silent film remains strikingly original for how it extends to its protagonist what so many in Edgar Allan Poe’s stories are denied: redemption.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review May December (2023) 91% “Mirror shots recur often in May December, a movie with characters yet so incapable of self reflection.” – Film Companion Mar 1, 2024 Full Review A Haunting in Venice (2023) 75% “Kenneth Branagh crafts a visually sumptuous horror story filled with characters who are spectres of their former selves. It's his best adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel yet.” – Film Companion Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Asteroid City (2023) 76% “Asteroid City, in which Wes Anderson’s troupe of characters struggle to reconcile the finiteness of life with the infinite mysteries of the cosmos they’re confronted with, is the director's funniest, most piercing movie yet.” – Film Companion Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Bones and All (2022) 82% “Desire and danger are two sides of the same coin in Bones And All, a blood-soaked romance that juxtaposes the yearning for touch with the craving for flesh. It’s a cannibal love story that tugs at the heart, even as its characters go for the jugular. ” – Film Companion Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Heart of Stone (2023) 31% “Heart Of Stone is zero-gravity filmmaking, the kind of movie that floats along amiably, an amusing two-hour-long flight in which nothing ever seems to land – not the emotions, not the punches, not the twists.” – Film Companion Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Air Doll (2009) 66% “Air Doll, directed by Hirokazu Koreeda and based on the manga Kuuki Ningyo, captures the loneliness of city life, in which dinners for one are routine and employees are replaceable.” – BFI Jul 29, 2023 Full Review
