The Accountant 2 (2025) 78% 2.5/5 “The Accountant 2 is at best a serviceable thriller, one that winds the central murder story around one about cartels and human trafficking. ... There are moments to savour, ... but for the most part, it is a thriller that leaves you incredulous.” – South China Morning Post Apr 23, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% 2/5 “To his credit, there is something very watchable about Malek as the CIA analyst forced to go rogue for vengeance. It is just a pity the script wasn’t given a further polish.” – South China Morning Post Apr 16, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% 3/5 “In a world where movies based on video games do not often land, this one at least manages to level up.” – South China Morning Post Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% 3.5/5 “Warfare has to be one of the most authentic combat movies of modern times.” – South China Morning Post Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 2/5 “More bland than brave, this corporate-sanctioned, committee-made children’s film does not come close to achieving the classic status afforded its animated predecessor.” – South China Morning Post Mar 20, 2025 Full Review What Does that Nature Say to You (2025) 4/5 “Veteran Korean director Hong Sang-soo specialises in delicate character studies, but rarely has he found such a warm ray of humour as he does in his latest film, What Does That Nature Say to You.” – South China Morning Post Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 96% 3.5/5 “Linklater does a fine job of keeping the viewer engaged, despite the one-location setting. ... Blue Moon is an increasingly moving and melancholic piece, largely thanks to a tender and tragic turn from Ethan Hawke.” – South China Morning Post Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 4/5 “A science fiction parable, one that fits neatly alongside Bong’s earlier works Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017), Mickey 17 is a darkly funny look at humankind’s desire to conquer at any cost.” – South China Morning Post Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Dreams (2025) 82% 3.5/5 “Dreams will leave you dazed and disquieted, and is likely to rattle around your head for days after watching it.” – South China Morning Post Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Light (2025) 8% 3/5 “A film about dysfunction -- whether it’s in the home or a group like the United Nations, it’s a work that stumbles as much as it strides. But it’s a provocative and political piece, designed to make you look at the world in a way you haven’t before.” – The National (UAE) Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 2/5 “This newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about as emotional as a wet tea bag” – NME (New Musical Express) Feb 13, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% 4/5 “Sick, dark and laugh-out-loud nuts” – NME (New Musical Express) Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025) 83% 4/5 “For those who never saw Led Zeppelin live, the early concert footage alone is worth coming to see” – NME (New Musical Express) Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 2/5 “Despite Abbott putting in an adept performance while wearing some impressive prosthetics, there simply are not enough scares in this “like father like son” story to muster up a real nail-biter. It is a B movie all right – “B” for boring.” – South China Morning Post Jan 27, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 3.5/5 “Playing Dylan is Timothée Chalamet, who gives one of the best performances of his career. Hidden behind Dylan’s trademark shades, Chalamet is entirely at ease as the surly singer who increasingly finds fame an alienating experience.” – South China Morning Post Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% 3/5 “As in the first movie, there are respectful nods to Polynesian culture and mythology in a script that ripples with gentle humour.” – South China Morning Post Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 4/5 “Gladiator II arguably will not have the same effect [as the first film], but it is a handsome continuation of the story with some fabulously crafted set pieces.” – South China Morning Post Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 4/5 “Given how often a threequel flops, Paddington in Peru effortlessly rises above its peers.” – South China Morning Post Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% 4/5 “Didi is both charming and real – a killer combination. ... Wang’s directorial debut ... will leave teenagers and adults alike wincing at its observations.” – South China Morning Post Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Blitz (2024) 81% 4/5 “There is no doubt that placing a young black boy at the centre of the story shines a different light on the British second world war experience, and newcomer Heffernan holds the screen well.” – South China Morning Post Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% 4/5 “Neville’s film is so forward-thinking, it’s easy to forgive the more superficial aspects of the production” – NME (New Musical Express) Oct 21, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% 3/5 “The Apprentice excels through Strong’s showing as Cohn, a gay man in the midst of the AIDS crisis. From a cocksure player to an embittered shadow of his former self, it’s a brilliant, awards-worthy performance that outshines the film as a whole.” – The List Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% 3/5 “In essence this is just a re-run of the first movie, just in a slightly glitzier environment. Is it scary? Rarely, to be honest. But it knows how to twist the knife, at least” – NME (New Musical Express) Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Small Things Like These (2024) 94% 4/5 “Cillian Murphy again shows that less really is more in this expertly crafted minimalist drama.” – Total Film Oct 7, 2024 Full Review A Different Man (2024) 93% 5/5 “A brilliant exploration of beauty, artistry, and identity, driven by a wonderful Stan performance. Not to be missed.” – Total Film Oct 7, 2024 Full Review
