Argylle (2024)

3/5
“It's surprising then predictable, a slow-starter that still manages to incorporate everything you’d want and expect from a spy action comedy, forgetting to dial things down to let those bursts of brilliance land properly.” –

In the Land of Saints and Sinners (2023)
83%
2/5
“There are some enjoyable and appealing aspects to In the Land of Saints and Sinners. But, by the end, it just tries to pack in too much, when a simpler approach would have made it at least satisfying. Instead, it’s instantly forgettable.” –

Hajjan (2023)

“While the entire cast does an admirable job handling the proceedings, it’s the film’s young stars, particularly Alatawi, who shine the brightest.” –

“As The Iron Claw’s narrative flounders, Efron’s sincerity, earnestness and resilience ensure viewers continue to care deeply about how Kevin’s story ends. The result is one of the best performances of the year.” –

HWJN (2023)
3/5
“Once Hwjn has finally established its world, the story steams ahead thanks to the chemistry between Alem and Alkhadra. There’s a sweetness to their connection, especially since they both feel so alienated in their own worlds.” –

“Unsurprisingly, Cooper gives himself and his fellow actors plenty of room to showcase their talents. But while Cooper is impressive as the deeply-flawed yet undeniably gifted and inspiring Bernstein, it’s Mulligan who really shines.” –

The Killer (2023)

4/5
“While it doesn’t have the thematic depth or resonance to quite matchup to Fincher’s masterpieces Se7en, The Social Network and Zodiac, The Killer is undoubtedly a slowly engrossing and subversive take on the assassin film.” –
