The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% 3/5 “If you do pick up a penguin, you could do worse than experience Michell’s kind of spiritual and moral awakening. Still, the film is thankfully sharper and less cute than it initially appears.” – Empire Magazine Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 4/5 “One to sink your teeth into.” – Empire Magazine Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Woman in the Yard (2025) 44% 3/5 “It's well performed, and Collet-Serra knows his way around a beautifully timed scare, but what's most haunting is the sense that the same idea has been done better before.” – Empire Magazine Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 80% 2/5 “A curiously bloodless account of a real-life disaster that has moments of gripping tension punctuating long stretches of fatally understated business as usual.” – Empire Magazine Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 2/5 “It’s at its best when it’s an old-fashioned song-and-dance princess story, with Zegler and Gadot broad but effective, and at its worst in any scene involving the digital dwarves.” – Empire Magazine Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Marching Powder (2025) 33% 2/5 “It’s occasionally funny, but the moments of sincerity are undermined by the unformed sense of grievance and bitterness at the whole wide world.” – Empire Magazine Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Dog Man (2025) 80% 3/5 “It's all very, very silly. That, combined with the relentless pace, should ensure that it delights its target audience of under-tens, but the adults shouldn't fear this dog's bark too much.” – Empire Magazine Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Kinda Pregnant (2025) 29% 2/5 “A few moments of emotional honesty between mothers are the only bits worth watching, but they're too scant to save this mess.” – Empire Magazine Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 4/5 “Like Mickey himself, it’s goofy and a little inconsistent, but it’s also funny, thoughtful and more plausible than we might like. A charming space oddity for these unusual times.” – Empire Magazine Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 3/5 “Pacy and punchy, this is a promising first official outing for the new Captain America, even if some awkward and inconsistent moments hold it back from greatness.” – Empire Magazine Feb 12, 2025 Full Review William Tell (2024) 56% 3/5 “This old-fashioned tale of folk heroism and hardy underdogs benefits from solid performances and spectacular vistas, but it loses points for a sequel-baiting ending. ” – Empire Magazine Feb 4, 2025 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% 4/5 “Crowley, having nailed his casting, directs with a light hand and follows the emotion through, to good effect. It feels real, and honest, in a way that too few romantic films manage.” – Time Out Dec 13, 2024 Full Review That Christmas (2024) 67% 3/5 “The stories are all individually charming, but overly familiar animation and underwhelming character-design blunt the effect. ” – Empire Magazine Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Hot Frosty (2024) 74% 2/5 “With so-so performances and an immensely dumb conceit, this is snow Christmas classic. Still, it’s less naughty, more ice than we might have expected. ” – Empire Magazine Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 4/5 “Chu amps up the colour and spectacle to extraordinary, almost overwhelming heights, but the real magic comes from Erivo and Grande as the frenemies at the story’s heart. ” – Empire Magazine Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Small Things Like These (2024) 94% 4/5 “A deliberate film that uses small moments to examine one of the great questions of our time: how good people let bad things happen, and how we might push back against the dark.  ” – Empire Magazine Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% 2/5 “There's a little bit of heart here, in the story of two people who have lost faith in Christmas for very different reasons, but more often this feels engineered in a lab to provide seasonal spectacle.” – Empire Magazine Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) 100% 4/5 “It’s delightful to see these characters again, particularly the long-suffering Gromit, and if the jokes don’t come quite as thick and fast as before, the beating heart beneath the clay remains intact.” – Empire Magazine Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Never Let Go (2024) 58% 3/5 “As with many high-concept horrors, it falls apart as it grasps for an ending, but there's still enough dread, and three great central performances, to just about carry it through.” – Empire Magazine Sep 27, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% 4/5 “Smart, and sharp enough to balance the sweetness of its simple yet profound message. All we have is time, and this film reminds us, movingly, that it matters how we spend it.” – Empire Magazine Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% 3/5 “The result is likeable enough to win over a whole new generation, starting the endless cycle of reboot and rebirth over again. Let’s roll?” – Time Out Sep 18, 2024 Full Review The Critic (2023) 52% 2/5 “McKellen has fun as the bitter, biting Erskine, but the plot takes so long to come together that at times he's the only thing holding the audience's interest. ” – Empire Magazine Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Close to You (2023) 66% 3/5 “Director and star conceived the story and then the cast largely improvised the dialogue that drives it along. Sometimes that results in meandering or overblown moments, but the general thrust is powerful enough to carry it along.” – Time Out Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% 4/5 “Brimming with compassion and punctuated by humour, this is a moving look at prison and prisoners. It’s both infuriating and inspirational to see so much beauty in such a harsh environment.” – Empire Magazine Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Babes (2024) 88% 2/5 “We need more pregnancy movies, yes, but this bun could have done with a little longer in the oven.” – Empire Magazine Aug 5, 2024 Full Review
