La Cocina (2024)
75%
2/5
“Unfortunately, La Cocina is well over two hours long, and the hectic rhythm the film strives for, occasional lulls aside, isn’t matched by any great degree of narrative momentum.” –

The Wedding Banquet (2025)

3/5
“This is a broader, more straightforward crowd-pleaser than the first Wedding Banquet, which typically for Lee retained a degree of melancholy and reserve. Sometimes the characters are made to spell out their feelings all too bluntly...” –

Clown in a Cornfield (2025)

2.5/5
“There’s nothing wrong with using a teen horror movie to comment on the generation gap, class relations and the decline of the US manufacturing sector. But it helps if the plot isn’t so cluttered with half-realised ideas...” –

Thunderbolts* (2025)
88%
3/5
“The writing is as formulaic as ever, and the stale jokes even comment on their own staleness... But it’s better-paced than latter-day Marvel movies tend to be, with some effective action sequences and not too many pointless subplots.” –

The Accountant 2 (2025)
76%
2.5/5
“...The Accountant 2 is a gift hamper intended to contain something for everyone. There are a handful of brutal action sequences, there’s the somewhat convoluted and murky plot – and then there’s a surprising amount of laidback buddy-comedy stuff...” –

“Statham’s furrowed-brow under-emoting is supposed to hold it all together, along with all the dramatic backlighting... But he’s visibly some way past his physical peak; certainly there’s no effort to persuade us that he does his own stunts.” –

Inside (2024)

“[Charles Williams'] style has a comparable heaviness, with pointed cutaways to symbolic objects, brief flashbacks to scenes better left to the imagination, and more brooding music than is needed.” –
