Going Viral (2024)
“All in all, Going Viral is a satisfying movie that doesn’t pander to a new generation, nor does it try too hard to pull the strings of those wishing they could go back in time.

A Very Flattened Christmas (2024)
70%
“A Very Flattened Christmas doesn’t really do much to subvert the expectations of a slasher movie and it feels like a lot of the comedy feels forced. ” –

Fox Force (2009)
“It just feels like that at the end of the day Tomboys/Fox Force is designed to shock its audience and the subtlety of its issues are lost as it tries desperately to get the right tone.

Jasper (2011)
“Nathan Hill may be a writer/director/actor with his heart in the right place, but it may help to tell the audience a little more about Jasper so they know whether they can laugh with him or at him.” –

Model Behaviour (2013)
“Model Behaviour may give audiences a solid albeit familiar movie, but it fumbles towards the end leaving them wondering exactly where the clues were for the ‘out of nowhere’ ending.

666: Seance Hour (2011)
“Séance Hour does have something there and although its plot is predictable, with a tighter script and editing it may have been a more satisfying watch.

Revenge of the Gweilo (2016)
“Watching Revenge of The Gweilo feels like it’s just trying to cash in on an audience they think is easily fooled.

Sleep No More: Director's Cut (2024)
“Whilst the story of Samuel and Beckett may be an engaging one, it feels like without any clear direction, Sleep No More pulls too many punches.

I, Portrait (2019)
“There are still the bare bones of what an audience may expect to see in such a movie as this, it just may take a little time or fast-forwarding to get to the plot.

Colourblind (2017)
“Colourblind may also be playing it straight, mimicking a ‘simpler time’ if a viewer were to be generous, but it feels like the plot is too thin to be stretched across the runtime of a movie.” –

Alien Love (2024)
45%
“For the director, it seems his ethos is that he should show his audience and not tell, something which is to be commended. Combined with the script, this often makes it feel like things are just happening and there isn’t enough to keep you engaged” –

Lady Terror (2023)
80%
“So, for all its effort and earnestness in bringing back something that Hollywood stopped making years ago, it’s just a shame that Lady Terror couldn’t be more fun and less eye-rolling.

Death After Dusk (2024)
100%
“Although it’s a shame that there wasn’t more of an objective view of what was needed in the final cut. A noble effort with some striking moments, Death After Dusk could be just the thing that Western fans are looking for.

Drifting Snow (2021)
80%
“Drifting Snow may also not be the kind of movie that an audience may want to sit down for on a lazy Sunday afternoon. However, despite a leisurely-paced movie with a pleasant setting, the themes of grief and loss may not gel with the scenery. ” –

Cats of Malta (2023)

“This makes Cats of Malta the kind of documentary that you can just sit back and enjoy as the participants reassure you that there is still good in the world.” –

Holy Irresistible (2024)
“Those with an open mind and a sense of humour are bound to find something they like in this funny albeit formulaic romantic comedy.” –

The Job of Songs (2021)
“The Job of Songs offers a far more melancholic look at Ireland than audiences may expect. Although perhaps that could be down to our expectations, looking in from outside at a tiny village full of happy little Irishmen.

This Much We Know (2022)
56%
“Whilst being a tribute to those who were lost and the ways in which death by suicide can affect so many people, This Much we Know won’t give any answers to why our loved ones may choose to take their own lives. ” –

Silent as the Grave (2023)
100%
“Fans of the noir genre will have fun with Silent as The Grave as they spot the usual cliches and tropes brought right up to date. However, even those with a passing knowledge will see the potential of a genre perhaps long forgotten to cinema.

Goodbye, Petrushka (2022)
94%
“The message at the end is a good one and something that romantic comedies may not often cover. The trouble is that in order to get there, the audience has to endure many cringeworthy moments which may leave them not caring so much about what happens.” –

Peppergrass (2022)
“Peppergrass made it out of the other side of the pandemic intact. Where other lockdown movies failed because of being caught in a panic, Peppergrass shows that competent filmmaking can work even in the worst of conditions.

Piglady (2023)
“If this aspect were removed, then Piglady would just be a more generic albeit enjoyable horror movie. The problem is that whilst it’s fleshing out its protagonist, it falls on the cliches of the gang trapped in a cabin in the woods.

Tonic (2023)
“With a cast of supporting characters from different walks of life, Tonic becomes a fleshed-out world that evokes the kind of crime drama that may not get made anymore.” –
