5/5
“The hot Latin lovers have been replaced by pink snow, and the homoeroticism has been dialled down, but this is Almodóvar’s America and it’s a delight. ” –

4/5
“This enjoyable biopic offers a loving and affectionate portrait of Callas that never airbrushes her foibles. It’s likely to put Jolie front and centre in the Oscar race, too.” –

LOLA (2022)

2/5
“There’s much to admire here, but with Legge’s keen eye for the technical side of cinema stronger than his narrative impulses, LOLA ultimately has to go down as an ambitious failure.” –

American Fiction (2023)

4/5
“It's such an entertaining film that it's easy to overlook the fact that the comedy only works because it depicts structural racism in such an exaggerated black-and-white manner.” –

“Waititi's winning, winsome film is his most accessible and mainstream movie to date, Marvel aside, one that successfully mixes in funny jokes with zeitgeisty social commentary.” –

Joyland (2022)
98%
4/5
“Joyland’s quiet power comes not through melodrama, which Sadiq scrupulously avoids, but its deep affection for its characters. It’s a modern tale of changing gender roles and the patriarchal crisis that could just as easily have taken place in New York.” –

Le Prince (2021)
“Although uneven in pacing, Prince is a film that provides food for thought and uses the idea of art being about representation to play and bend archetypes.” –

The Stranger (2021)
“The Stranger shares not only a title with the famous Albert Camus work, but also its focus on a man immersed in an existential crisis when faced with the absurd.” –

Zátopek (2021)
“With a light-entertainment tone, a classical filmmaking style and impressive recreations of Olympic stadia, it aspires to be a Czech Chariots of Fire, but like so many of the runners on show, it can't quite make it to the finish line.” –

Out of the Furnace (2013)
53%
“This tale of brothers who can’t stay out of trouble trots out all the clichés of America in its economic malaise: the lack of blue-collar work, and every genre cliché of Westerns, brothers protecting brothers and the need to take the law into your hands.” –

Both Sides of the Blade (2021)

“The story is told in a choppy style, the messy editing reflecting the confused nature of Sara's state of mind, but it also means that the film itself is all over the place. Put together, it's hard to feel empathy with any of the characters.” –
