Sinners (2025)
98%
5/5
“It’s a film so viscerally shot and effervescent with a blistering, perpetual score by Ludwig Göransson, and sizzling cinematography by Autumn Durald Arkapaw you can almost smell the sex and sweat dripping from the ceiling of the juke joint.” –

3/5
“The Succession style scenario of a rich family with no morals may be a tad overdone at this point but the Alien inspired visuals of nature fighting back are wildly amusing and sets this fantasy-comedy-horror apart.” –

1/5
“Anderson is generally competent when it comes to memorable action sequences but with In The Lost Lands there’s far more emphasis on the dynamic between its two leads which unfortunately never really takes off.” –

4/5
“Drew’s radical approach to their coming-of-age trans story is dazzlingly self-assured. It’s a warts-and-all depiction laced with biting humour, sincerity, absurd silliness and rampant DIY creativity from all involved. ” –

48%
2/5
“The War of the Rohirrim is intermittently entertaining but stagnates due to an uninspired screenplay that plods along at a slow-pace and plays out mostly dispassionately. ” –

“A painstakingly crafted dark fairy-tale and psychosexual symphony of orgasmic breaths, howling winds and sweaty longing for flesh, full of exciting performances and deliciously macabre imagery. A feast for the senses.” –

“Tonally the drama and horror don’t entirely mesh... However, in Heller’s hands there is a great blend of laugh-out-loud irreverent humour and compassion to how she presents all the characters.” –

“Unhinged and truly memorable musical numbers are cross cut with homage to old-school horror and 1960s/70s style foot-chases, while there’s also satisfyingly grisly comeuppance for wicked lovers.” –
