The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% 4/5 “...[Steve] Coogan and the penguin are quite the double act here and it's a joy to watch them together.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Dog Man (2025) 80% 4/5 “Young kids will just lap it up and come back for more.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 19% 3/5 “If lots of cartoonish violence and lengthy fight scenes, with a bit of romance, fits your description of a good night at the movies, Love Hurts could make you very happy indeed.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 7, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 5/5 “It's rare that a film can be this funny while also heartbreaking, so kudos to Eisenberg for striking an impressive balance that augurs well for his future behind a camera. ” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 4/5 “It’s bear-illiant in many ways...” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) 98% 4/5 “While Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story doesn’t shy away from what might be called Reeve’s 'dark side’, it is clearly a labour of love. ” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 4/5 “The film is effortlessly claustrophobic, dreamily undramatic and all the better for it.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Oct 4, 2024 Full Review The Critic (2023) 52% 3.5/5 “The story rattles along after a slightly sluggish start and, despite only crumbs of character development and the odd dubious plot twist, it's an enjoyably cynical tale that's well told.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 3/5 “Patchy and occasionally fun, this sequel's taken too long to arrive and takes too few risks to really add anything of consequence to Tim Burton's much-loved 1988 original.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 3/5 “All in all, Deadpool and Wolverine is a step above a lot of superhero movies, though that is admittedly faint praise. Take it with some popcorn and a fizzy drink and you'll have some fun.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 3.5/5 “The performances are pretty solid and characters largely one-dimensional, but Glen Powell is pitch perfect as Tyler Owens. He really can do no wrong these days. Brewing up a storm, you might say.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) 67% 3.5/5 “Otherwise the story is straightforward – Axel could drive blindfold through the script without causing a scratch – but this is a well-paced action-comedy that’s got plenty of laughs and not even the hint of a surprise.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 2, 2024 Full Review The Beautiful Game (2024) 88% 3/5 “The Beautiful Game won't change the world - that stuff is left to things such as the real Homeless World Cup -- but it's a solid and entertaining film that should put a smile on your face.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Mar 29, 2024 Full Review The Miracle Club (2023) 68% 3/5 “To be honest, I was a little disappointed. It’s a solid tale about friendship, redemption and faith (or the lack of it), but nothing special.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Oct 13, 2023 Full Review A Haunting in Venice (2023) 75% 4/5 “An entertaining blend of humour and spooky moments.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Knock at the Cabin (2023) 67% 4/5 “Most of the film takes place in the cabin, which adds an extra layer of stress to proceedings. And it rattles along for a lean 100 minutes. Such brevity is rare in modern movies, and must be admired.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Tár (2022) 91% 5/5 “Cate Blanchett never ceases to amaze.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 12, 2023 Full Review Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical (2022) 93% 4.5/5 “Here's a slice of celluloid that’s certain to become a Christmas staple with immediate effect.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 28, 2022 Full Review Lightyear (2022) 74% 2/5 “If this is the film that made Andy fall in love with Buzz back in the 1990s (as claimed at the start), I'm beginning to reconfigure my attitude towards him. Young Andy's far too easily pleased.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jun 22, 2022 Full Review The Beatles: Get Back - The Rooftop Concert (2022) 100% 4/5 “This is an essential cinema experience -- especially if you're a Beatle fan.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 11, 2022 Full Review West Side Story (2021) 91% 5/5 “It's a stunning re-imagining and a testament to [Spielberg's] cinematic vision.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) 58% 4/5 “This is great fun.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Oct 15, 2021 Full Review The Last Duel (2021) 85% 4/5 “Both a reflection on patriarchal times past and a mirror to modern misogyny (it hasn't gone away, you know), it adds up to a compelling story.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Candyman (2021) 84% 4/5 “This is great fun, with an underlying message. There's a lot packed into these 91 minutes.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Sep 2, 2021 Full Review Censor (2021) 89% 4/5 “You don't have to be a fan of the slasher genre to enjoy this film, as it's more a psychological drama than a mere gore-fest.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Aug 20, 2021 Full Review
