Ne Zha 2 (2025)
96%
“It should feel rushed or bogged down but it doesn’t, mostly because there’s a full-throated earnestness to the film and its themes. Well, that and it’s also just a blast to watch. ” –

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025)
88%
“Mad About the Boy works because of its bittersweet acknowledgement that life and its many curveballs are rubbish but inevitable, and just getting on with things is often all that we can do.” –

Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (2025)
75%
“Don’t Die is fascinating as a piece of failed propaganda. No matter what Johnson does or how hard he works to sell what he’s doing as some act of biological disruption, he can’t conceal the sheer sadness... over what his life was and has become.” –

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)
100%
“Would the film have been more effective as a short? Maybe, but how can you turn down the chance to spend more time with these characters and this beautifully rendered world?” –

Moana 2 (2024)
61%
“If Moana were to get a real sequel, one with a story developed for cinema from the ground up, things would feel different. As it is, what we have is so derivative and transparently corporate that it bums me out. ” –

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)
31%
“In many ways, Joker: Folie a Deux is a better film than its predecessor. It’s at least more willing to subvert expectations. Yet the weaknesses are unignorable and Phillips cannot help but shoot himself in the foot. ” –

Megalopolis (2024)
45%
“This film needed the Coppola of The Godfather and Bram Stoker’s Dracula or even the Coppola of One From the Heart, the man who was known for bringing clarity to chaos. In Megalopolis, he seems lost but refuses to ask for directions.” –

“Reijn acutely captures the dizzying, oft-regrettable but frequently rewarding experience of falling in lust. What is love? Not this!” –

Really Happy Someday (2024)
“Really Happy Someday is aptly titled. It’s a gently told but candid tale about the non-linear path towards happiness.” –

“For the devotees, By the Stream is another strong example of Hong’s technique and his variations on his preferred themes. For everyone else, well, you knew you weren’t going to like it.” –

The Last of the Sea Women (2024)

“A sturdy and impeccably warm documentary with a simple assignment: to show you the human cost of environmental disaster and to care about the marginalized communities most directly impacted by it.” –

Vice Is Broke (2024)
“Who better to tell the story of Vice than someone who was part of that life? Well, probably anyone else because at least they wouldn’t be so wedded to their own fantasy of a toxic brand.” –

Bonjour Tristesse (2024)
60%
“Chew-Bose has great potential, but most of Bonjour Tristesse feels like a misfire, albeit an earnest one. It’s pretty but in trying to expand upon the portrayal of a young woman’s emotional growth, it proves dishearteningly limiting in its ideas. ” –

It Ends With Us (2024)

“The roots of an honest story are here but misguided decisions smother them at every turn. A book this popular was never going to be allowed the benefits of a free-wheeling adaptation, regardless of how much it would have improved the narrative. ” –

Back to Black (2024)

“It’s cowardly in taking on well-documented truth, it’s clearly doing a nice PR clean-up for the living subjects, and it does a shoddy job of conveying the magnetism of a once-in-a-generation talent.” –

Bob Marley: One Love (2024)
43%
“All of the problems with One Love are rooted in its status as a byproduct of an estate’s demands, of the staid biopic genre that has become only more limited in scope thanks to studio and record label control.” –
