Pride & Prejudice (2005) 87% 9/10 “Now, more than ever, audiences could do with some old-fashioned love stories. A time when dances were arranged for people to meet, marry, and settle down together. When the highest accolade a man and woman could hope for was marriage to someone nice. ” – CBR May 28, 2025 Full Review Betray: Thirst (2025) - - “Betray: Thirst is populated by stereotypes that do nothing to elevate the material. Too much screen time is wasted laying foundations for a drama that struggles to get going, leaving audiences disappointed as Betray: Thirst fails to fulfil its ambition.” – martincarr.co.uk May 6, 2025 Full Review Asian Persuasion (2023) - - “Asian Persuasion works best putting universal themes at the centre of the story. It helps that the ensemble is charismatic and committed to the material, but giving this story an emotional core that connects with audiences, makes it something special. ” – martincarr.co.uk Apr 2, 2025 Full Review The 4 Points (2025) - - “The 4 Points might not be a masterpiece, but all too often rough diamonds have redeeming features. When bullets finally start flying, and mic drop moments are busy making up for lost time, The 4 Points turns into the movie it should have been all along” – martincarr.co.uk Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Tombstone (1993) 76% 7/10 “Films that have a cult following are not always there to be revered, and sometimes, meeting your heroes can be disappointing. Such is the case with Tombstone, which might have a stacked cast of A-list character actors, but it also comes with drawbacks.” – CBR Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Breakup Season (2024) 94% “BreakUp Season is a rare uncut gem. An indie melodrama that brings together the perfect ensemble cast with a flawless script, then sticks the landing. Films like this make melodrama look easy and BreakUp Season has captured lightning in a bottle. ” – martincarr.co.uk Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Marriage Story (2019) 95% “As a painfully honest portrait of a relationship on the rocks inches from reconciliation, Marriage Story is a revelation, but films including The Worst Person in the World have done it better. ” – martincarr.co.uk Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Hustle (2022) 94% “It might not be up there with Uncut Gems or Punch Drunk Love, but Hustle almost makes up for cinematic black holes like Jack and Jill. ” – martincarr.co.uk Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Good Side of Bad (2023) - - “Adapted from the award-winning novel by Beverly Olevin, Good Side of Bad proves to be a unique adaptation. Tipping a hat to David O. Russell and Silver Linings Playbook, co-writer-director Alethea Root explores mental illness in this family melodrama.” – martincarr.co.uk Feb 1, 2025 Full Review The Sand Castle (2024) - - 9/10 “Elevated by audacious visuals and peerless cinematography from Jeremy Snell, the movie tackles the subject of mental health with compassion and care.” – CBR Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Kodachrome (2017) 74% “Kodachrome is something special. A road trip reconciliation movie about fractured relationships, that rests on the shoulders of an awesome ensemble cast, made up of Ed Harris Jason Sudeikis and Elizabeth Olsen.” – martincarr.co.uk Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021) 88% “Tick tick..Boo directed by Lin Manuel Miranda this adaptation of Jonathan Larson’s play is something special - featuring a tour de force performance from Andrew Garfield,” – martincarr.co.uk Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% “Emilia Perez, co-written and directed by Jacques Audiard, may have created Oscar buzz around Selena Gomez after the London Film Festival, but plaudits really belong to Karla Sofia Gascon.” – martincarr.co.uk Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) 98% 10/10 “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story should be seen by a big audience, because people will not only believe a man can fly, but they might just think he can walk again as well, because they've seen Christopher Reeve become a hero without a cape.” – CBR Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Voice of Shadows (2023) - - “Writer-director Nicholas Bain has created a supernatural thriller with buckets of atmosphere in Voice of Shadows. With a camera that verges on the predatory, it succeeds in capturing a sense of creeping dread that helps sell this tried and tested formula.” – martincarr.co.uk Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% 9/10 “Dog Day Afternoon may throw calculated criticisms at the invasive nature of television media and explore the nature of criminality, but remains a perfect example of cutting-edge '70s cinema for those who want to be reminded.” – CBR Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Seeking Mavis Beacon (2024) 76% “If nothing else, Seeking Mavis Beacon reveals an America coming to terms with a shifting cultural landscape, where gender and identity have moved on. A place where AI is quickly changing everything about the way we live our lives. ” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 23, 2024 Full Review The Gray Man (2022) 45% “The Gray Man may feel 15 minutes too long, but there is still much to enjoy. Chris Evans is having a ball, Ryan Gosling cements his reputation as an action star in waiting, while Ana de Armas matches her co-stars in the arse kicking stakes.” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 20, 2024 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% “The Killer possesses many of Fincher’s traits but falls short of being truly satisfying. Whether that is the intention or not, the detachment and indifference which goes hand in glove with this assassin, robs The Killer of something essential. ” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 20, 2024 Full Review The Weekend (2024) 81% “The Weekend is a simple story told with directness. Putting his own twist on culture clash dynamics, director Daniel Oriahi discusses allegiances to family, reflecting that back on the modern world, before embracing conventional genre tropes. ” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Woman of the Hour (2023) 91% “Woman of the Hour is a riveting and impressive directorial debut from Anna Kendrick. Shocking, self-assured, and introducing an actor with genuine potential behind the camera – audiences should be keen to see what she does next. ” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Annihilation (2018) 88% “Annihilation does everything it can to side-step mainstream expectations. Distributed by Paramount Pictures and streamed by Netflix, this hybrid tentpole sci-fi adapted and directed by Alex Garland reflects the changing face of cinema. ” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Will & Harper (2024) 99% “Will & Harper is unlikely to be life-changing, and those people who had issues with the trans community before will avoid it. However, the world is made up of choices and for those who choose to engage there is much to enjoy. ” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 5, 2024 Full Review The Family Plan (2023) 27% “The Family Plan has a right to be this good. Against all odds, this Apple backed action-comedy sticks the landing, not only making this one of the best Mark Wahlberg movies no one has seen, but also reminds audiences why he was Oscar-nominated. ” – martincarr.co.uk Oct 16, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% “With effective jump scares and flawless production design from Simon Bowles (Apartment 7A), that ensures Manhattan looks suitably war torn, A Quiet Place: Day One delivers the goods without feeling wildly inventive.” – martincarr.co.uk Oct 16, 2024 Full Review
