White Bird (2023)
76%
“With its message of how we must “use the light within ourselves to stop the injustices of today”, White Bird perhaps has even greater resonance now than it might have done back when it was first supposed to debut in September 2022.” –

“Come for the fly-on-the-wall look at a family unravelling, stay for the brilliantly conceived long-takes, clever misdirections and surprisingly deep and profound conversations and dialogue.” –

Daytime Revolution (2024)

“Essentially echoes Questlove’s Summer of Soul in presenting much of this as sometimes astounding and jaw-dropping “found-footage”, delivered chronologically with just the right amount of modern-day commentary from those who were there ” –

The Order (2024)
92%
“A potent cocktail of Hell or High Water, Blackkklansman and American History X, with a side order of cat-and-mousery that reminds one of Michael Mann’s Heat, Kurzel’s film grips early and easily keeps you engrossed until its final frames.” –

The Commandant's Shadow (2024)
92%
“While the detailing of “The Final Solution” is uncomfortable and sometimes disturbing viewing, it’s the recriminations and regrets (not necessarily from who you might expect) that really pack an emotional punch here.” –

You're Cordially Invited (2025)

“This somewhat unholy combination of Father of the Bride, Sweet Home Alabama and, um, August: Osage County certainly has its moments, but despite the undoubted charisma and game-ness of its two leads, it only registers as fitfully funny.” –

Problemista (2023)

“Bringing to life a colourful and chaotic, character-filled world that should appeal to those enjoy the films of Michel Gondry, Wes Anderson, Guillermo del Toro and Tim Burton, this also features deliciously dry narration by Isabella Rossellini.” –

Nightbitch (2024)
59%
“A darkly comedic cross between '80s werewolf movies, a Cronenberg-eseque body horror and the Charlie Theron-starring Tully, Heller’s tale is not only a thought-provoking meditation on the “brutality of motherhood”, but also a fabulous showcase for Adams.” –

Unstoppable (2024)
76%
“Yes, tropes and cliches abound, the schmaltz and cheese levels are high and there are a couple of strange jumps in time, but Unstoppable remains watchable because Jerome convinces us that his is a performance – and thus a story – worthy of your time.” –

“If you thought Nobody Wants This was the raciest religion-infused rom-com of 2024 or Nicole Kidman had cornered the cougar market, just wait until you see Nathan Silver’s provocative tale that’s more Harold and Maude than Family Affair’s Brooke and Chris.” –

“Yes, this feels like a lesser version of the criminally underseen Brian Cox-Kate Beckinsale drama Prisoner’s Daughter crossed with As Good As It Gets, but, as with In the Land of Saints and Sinners, Neeson wins you over with his vulnerability and nuance.” –
