4/5
“Good luck to any other action movie released this year as it's a strong possibility that Havoc has already delivered the best action sequences of 2025.” –

Warfare (2025)
93%
4/5
“To recommend Warfare is to put whoever you suggest it to through the most intense 90-minute cinematic experience of the year. It's a movie immaculately crafted to rattle you, both physically and mentally, in a way few war movies ever have.” –

Disney's Snow White (2025)
40%
2/5
“Despite the strength of Rachel Zegler's performance, Snow White ends up caught between trying to do its own thing, but not being radical enough to justify itself. It wants to be the fairest of them all, yet ends up being yet another disappointing remake.” –

“More than a decade into his 'retirement', Steven Soderbergh has delivered the year's first must-see movie in exceptional spy thriller Black Bag.” –

The Monkey (2025)

3/5
“It might not be this year's Longlegs, but it does showcase that Osgood Perkins has other sides to him which can only help him be a force in the horror genre for years to come.” –

Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
48%
2/5
“To damn it with faint praise, Captain America: Brave New World is serviceable, both in terms of its set pieces but also to the wider MCU, which is also the main problem holding it back.” –

“Presence is another formally inventive and unique offering from Steven Soderbergh that lingers longer than any traditional scare-fest would.” –

Better Man (2024)
88%
5/5
“A fantastic (and fantastical) spin on a classic rise-and-fall biopic where the fact that its subject is portrayed as a CGI chimpanzee – and everybody else is a human – is one of the least remarkable aspects of it.” –

2/5
“You don't even need Spider-Sense to know that Kraven the Hunter is not very good, ending the universe with a fitting whimper.” –

Nosferatu (2024)
84%
5/5
“Nosferatu ends up being an excellent blend of the folk horror of The Witch and the grander scale of The Northman. In finally realising his passion project, Robert Eggers has treated us all to the best horror movie of the year.” –
