Companion (2025) 93% 3/5 “Regardless, Companion is a good time at the movies. It’s a little unsteady in places, but Hancock’s script is pleasingly sharp and witty.” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 3/5 “But Presence is still refreshingly original, even though its ending descends into needless melodrama and theatricality which feel somewhat out of place in a film that otherwise values subtlety. ” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 4/5 “It’s a story about America itself, a harsh criticism of what the country has perhaps always been, a place where dreams have an equal chance of dying as they do coming true. ” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 3/5 “The overall mood and atmosphere of Wolf Man works, as does the body horror. It’s achieved with practical effects and the result is pleasingly gnarly and hard to shake from the memory. ” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Get Away (2024) 74% 2/5 “There’s only so much the audience can suspend their disbelief, especially if there’s nothing to make us forget just how little sense everything makes. ” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% 3/5 “Even if his direction waivers elsewhere, Larraín proves he’s still an excellent actor’s director, nudging Jolie towards greatness. ” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 3/5 “Eisenberg mostly repeats his usual tricks both in front and behind the camera, but Culkin’s explosive, devastating performance carries A Real Pain.” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 88% 4/5 “It’s so much better than a film with a CGI monkey dancing on Regent Street has any right to be, but Better Man gets all of its emotional beats right without forgetting that same flair that made Gracey’s The Greatest Showman so likeable.” – Film Stories Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 85% 3/5 “Even with its flaws, Sonic 3 is a heartfelt, perfectly fine sequel. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3/5 “Mufasa doesn’t quite manage to break free from Disney’s usual style, but it’s certainly an improvement. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% 3/5 “Heller doesn’t quite commit to pushing her film further into a weirder territory that the premise teases though, yet Adams has rarely been better. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 93% 4/5 “Both Crane and Oosterveen aren’t afraid to expose their own imperfections, creating a memorable, moving documentary. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 4/5 “As he already proved with In The Heights, Chu directs the spectacle and musical numbers of Wicked with confidence and the picture practically leaps out of the screen.” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Layla (2024) 87% 3/5 “It’s charming and raises some interesting themes about queer identity and families, both chosen and biological, but the script could have done with another go to provide some more thematic clarity and smooth it out a little.” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 4/5 “Conclave is expertly directed, wonderfully acted and overall, just a bloody good film. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Your Monster (2024) 77% 3/5 “The finale is when things really click into place and the film cashes in on those promises of horror, but by then, it may be too little, too late. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% 4/5 “The film’s final act feels rushed, but Piece By Piece is endearing, playful filmmaking.” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Bird (2024) 86% 3/5 “Even if Arnold’s new approach doesn’t always come together, it gives Bird an exciting edge. It feels like we’re watching something unexpected and unique. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 4/5 “This isn’t a film that talks down to you, and it will likely reveal something more profound with each viewing. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 4/5 “I’d advise going into Heretic with as little knowledge as possible, because half the fun is experiencing the thrilling and weird ways the plot unfolds. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Woman of the Hour (2023) 91% 3/5 “Kendrick, making her directorial debut here, smartly doesn’t linger on the horrific murders Alcala commits, but she doesn’t shy away from them either. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% 3/5 “For the most part, Smile 2 is just a carbon copy of its predecessor, repeating the same beats and scares but with an increased budget.” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% 4/5 “The Apprentice won’t appeal to all and it doesn’t necessarily tell us anything we didn’t already know about Trump. It’s an engrossing character study of a man who took the opportunity to become the worst possible version of himself. ” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% 4/5 “There’s something appealing and impressive about a film that’s this honest and unashamed to be so romantic.” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Salem's Lot (2024) 46% 2/5 “Salem’s Lot – after the great big long wait for it – isn’t a great film, but if it was released 20 years ago, my teenage self would have been all over it.” – Film Stories Dec 19, 2024 Full Review
