Cat Person (2023)
46%
“The film explores the reasons behind what becomes a pretty catastrophic failure in communication, and it does this with a great deal of humour and even some very well directed sequences that push the film into the realm of psychological thriller. ” –

Napoleon (2023)

“Scott's Napoleon is flesh and blood. He's also a walking signifier of self-belief, and the film eventually succeeds in transmitting that power.” –

The Eight Mountains (2022)
90%
“It's a bittersweet drama centring on two men who meet as children... It's about the innocence of youth giving way to the disappointments of adulthood, about the impact of overbearing fathers, about the struggle to find your own place in the world.” –

Saint Omer (2022)
95%
“It is Diop's layering, and deliberate blurring, of different mother and daughter relationships that underlines the film's central focus: maternal love, estrangement and resentment.” –

Petrol (2022)
100%
“[Petrol] has a poetic and sometimes surreal narrative style that conveys a vividly emotional take on the world; it reveals profound truths about the characters, even if the precise detail of their story remains slightly -- and deliciously -- cryptic.” –

The Innocent (2022)
98%
“The Innocent is the kind of breezy good time that's hard to find at the movies these days. It's not devoid of deeper meaning, but it's brimming, first and foremost, with a relish for storytelling that's playful and fun.” –

Nope (2022)
83%
“Peele's layering of themes and ideas, which don't always cohere but form a multifaceted and thought-provoking critique, takes second place to a popcorn thrill ride of high stakes and bruising action.” –

Juniper (2021)

“Juniper is a drama with black comic edges about a fragmented family, and the unexpectedly life-affirming influence of its particularly tetchy matriarch.” –

“Wright's two damsels in distress, caught in a twisted relationship across time, are vivid and captivating, but when the crimson curtains fall on their blood-soaked (mis)adventures, you wonder if they might have communicated something more.” –

Long Story Short (2021)

“Long Story Short is for audiences looking for redemption with their romance. It's a date night fantasy, in time for Valentine's Day, and thankfully, the film's lead actors are worthy avatars.” –

The Translators (2019)

Irresistible (2006)

“Writer-director Ann Turner has dealt with similar themes of fear, paranoia and seduction before, but Irresistible is her first tilt at a Hollywood-style genre film. It's an interesting try and the performances are good, but the suspense sags.” –
