Four Mothers (2024)
90%
3/5
“In places, Four Mothers skews broad: one joke involving the word “pouffe” is eminently guessable. Yet it’s modulated by the sweetness in these performances, and by McArdle in particular, soft, rueful and armed with the most thoughtful writing here.” –

Screamboat (2025)

1/5
“One point in favour of these cheap-and-cheerless cash-ins: in an era of dead-eyed data scraping, they may yet radicalise a generation of sleepover attenders to pursue ways of toughening up copyright law.” –

The Woman in the Yard (2025)
42%
2/5
“For an hour or so, it’s intriguing; we don’t know where we stand exactly, and there’s an awful lot in the air. It settles shruggingly, however, and some of what is being juggled is revealed as decidedly secondhand.” –

Singham Again (2024)

2/5
“The sequels have got bigger and emptier; this one leaves us watching shopworn action tropes being wrapped in the flag of nationalism and listlessly if noisily tossed around.” –

Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (2024)

“What follows, as Mahendra pivots to coaching and nudges his wife towards the spotlight, is a small monument to partnership building.” –

Jawan (2023)
89%
3/5
“Jawan will prove no more enduring than Pathaan in the Khan pantheon, but it’s a semi-fascinating display of star power, and a rollicking (if bumpy) Friday-night ride.” –

The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933)
86%
“Individual scenes offer an early demonstration of the leading lady's tenacity, and you can always admire Asther's skilful, subtle tightrope-walking in a role that could so easily have slipped into stereotype.” –

The Pope's Exorcist (2023)

“Crowe is by far the film’s strongest suit, pre-empting (some of) our gigglier responses and mitigating against (some of) the material’s flimsiness.” –

Selfiee (2023)

“Another broad, sitcom-bright crowdpleaser, prone to abusing the wacky sound effect button, this latest Mehta comedy has nevertheless been packaged with a professionalism that’s hard to deny.” –

The Lady Eve (1941)
99%
“It remains one of the great, timeless screen romances - in part because it addresses, in smart, adult fashion, those issues that still threaten to deprive young lovers everywhere of the earthly happiness that is their right.” –

Redeeming Love (2022)
11%
2/5
“This movie thinly scatters a parable’s worth of plot across 134 minutes and resembles HBO’s Deadwood recut for Sunday-school purposes: pious, puzzling and punitive, with a sternly wagging finger never far from entering the frame.” –

The Drowning of Arthur Braxton (2021)

“The pacing proves sluggish, and the adaptation broadly unpersuasive: a fifth-former’s creative writing assignment, with clunky exposition and potential elements of autobiography that elicit sporadic cringes.” –
