Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 3/5 “ The story is cluttered, the tone is muddled, and the pacing is off. Again, that doesn't make the film a disaster. In some ways, the identity crisis is what makes it worth seeing. ” – BBC.com Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 2/5 “This series of unfortunate events raises more questions than it answers.” – BBC.com Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% 3/5 “Despite all this Moana moaning, though, it's still a high-quality piece of work: a hurtling Disneyland rollercoaster ride that small children, especially, are bound to enjoy.” – BBC.com Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 4/5 “What really separates Eggers' Nosferatu from the flock is how deeply it explores the images and themes of vampire lore. There aren't many Dracula films that give you so much to sink your teeth into.” – BBC.com Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 3/5 “It doesn't take flight. It doesn't have the terrific jokes, the startling twists or the stunning dance routines that might have cast a spell on you, and it's weighed down by under-developed subplots... as well as by its own sense of self-importance. ” – BBC.com Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 4/5 “Paddington in Peru offers a fun and lively hour-and-three-quarters in the cinema, and that's not to be sniffed at, but it comes across as the solid third part of an established franchise rather than a stellar pop-cultural phenomenon in its own right. ” – BBC.com Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Blitz (2024) 81% 3/5 “The film is interesting and informative, but all those bomb blasts don't leave you as shaken as they should.” – BBC.com Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 2/5 “Depending on how you look at it, this demythologising exercise is either daring or it's irritatingly smug, but it's definitely not much fun. ” – BBC.com Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% 3/5 “Craig's soul-baring, skin-baring turn aside, Queer is a proudly artificial curio, from its anachronistic placement of Nirvana and Prince songs on the soundtrack to its use of studio sets that look like they've been painted by Edward Hopper. ” – BBC.com Sep 4, 2024 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 81% 4/5 “The Room Next Door isn't a weighty philosophical work – as mature as it is, it still has glimmers of cheeky humour and campy melodrama. But it develops into a sweetly heartfelt reflection on ageing...” – BBC.com Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Wolfs (2024) 67% 3/5 “A throwback to the days when Hollywood stars didn't all play superheroes, and could be spotted in bromantic comedy thrillers instead, Wolfs is reminiscent of Midnight Run and 48 Hrs. ” – BBC.com Sep 4, 2024 Full Review The Order (2024) 92% 3/5 “That is, he's a cop-movie cliché, but Law's fiery glaring and swearing make him fun to be around, anyway. ” – BBC.com Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 4/5 “Reijn's raw, jagged, indie-style film has all the scenes you would expect if Babygirl were a standard Hollywood neo-noir thriller but each time Reijn explores the undignified reality behind the glamour. ” – BBC.com Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% 3/5 “Knight has written countless lines of spikily witty, quotable dialogue, and it's never a chore to watch a beautiful actor wearing beautiful outfits in beautiful Paris locations. ” – BBC.com Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 4/5 “The nicest surprise is that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is that rare thing, a big-budget comedy which is actually funny. ” – BBC.com Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 75% 3/5 “As cluttered as it is, though, Blink Twice is stylish and savage enough to gain a cult following. And it is undoubtedly the work of a skilled writer-director, rather than an actor who is having a go at directing. ” – BBC.com Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 4/5 “[Álvarez] has triumphed with a clever, gripping and sometimes awe-inspiring sci-fi chiller, which takes the series back to its nerve-racking monster-movie roots while injecting it with some new blood – some new acid blood, you might say.” – BBC.com Aug 14, 2024 Full Review The Kingdom (2024) 100% ““The Kingdom” is a rivetingly credible and vivid portrait of organized crime in an area with a long tradition of banditry.” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Oh Canada (2024) 64% ““Oh, Canada” is adapted from “Foregone,” a novel by Russell Banks, and it leaves the viewer with the strong suspicion that Schrader struggled in vain to fit all of the key parts of the book into his film. ” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 3/5 “Twenty-eight years on from the release of Jan de Bont's Twister, Hollywood's powers-that-be have decided that this lucrative piece of intellectual property should be taken out for another spin, but they haven't done anything surprising with it.” – BBC.com Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) 65% 2/5 “The plot is nonsensical, the grenade-dodging stunts are even more nonsensical, and the internal logic is non-existent... But the film is fun enough in its chaotic, grungy, rough and ready way. ” – BBC.com Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 4/5 “Anora fizzes with energy and laugh-out-loud moments, but it isn't recommended for anyone with high blood pressure.” – BBC.com May 28, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% “The Apprentice is destined to be berated by many as too flattering or too unflattering, but it's a cleverly composed snapshot of its subject at a specific time.” – BBC.com May 22, 2024 Full Review Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024) 51% 1/5 “But a film – certainly a Western – needs to have a plot, a bit of credible characterisation, and a structure that preferably includes a beginning, middle and end. Horizon doesn't have any of those.” – BBC.com May 20, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 4/5 “The Substance comes to feel like a slow and superficial waste of an intriguing premise. But the delirious last half-hour makes it all worthwhile. ” – BBC.com May 20, 2024 Full Review
