Sinners (2025) 98% 4/5 “It's an almost brilliant piece of work, but like the bullet-riddled bodies that pile up, there are so many nagging little holes here that meaning slightly drains away...” – London Evening Standard Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The End (2024) 56% 3/5 “The whole enterprise is weirdly compelling and oddly flat at the same time. And those tunes? Showstoppers? Not quite, although by the end, their deliberately old-fashioned hokeyness grows on you.” – London Evening Standard Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% 4/5 “Besides the unsettlingly claustrophobic cinematography, every second of dread comes with a muffled, discombobulating clatter of sound. And both lead actors are on cracking form.” – London Evening Standard Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 4/5 “Mickey 17 never seemed likely to be as good as Parasite. It just doesn’t have the same gravitas and edge, but with its maelstrom of nonsense and loveable stars on top form, it’s a rampantly fun cosmic caper.” – London Evening Standard Mar 8, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 5/5 “In the face of inhumanity, Salles’s film simply radiates love.” – London Evening Standard Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 4/5 “Besides more naked folk, there are plenty of other reasons to leave the kids at home; this looks like Nick Cave has crowbarred his way into Aardman studios and cursed the clay with a gothic, decidedly adult, cloak of doom. ” – London Evening Standard Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% 5/5 “There are hints of Hitchcock and Kubrick as this story inexorably unravels beyond the control of its players... this is unnervingly tense, properly intelligent, essential viewing.” – London Evening Standard Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 4/5 “Companion is a total hoot.” – London Evening Standard Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% 5/5 “We’ll only be on day three of 2025 when this is released, but we might be witnessing the film of the year already. Nickel Boys is that extraordinary.” – London Evening Standard Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 2/5 “Grant, to be fair, isn’t bad, but a film as unscary and frankly as tedious as this should never get a whiff of one of those golden statuettes. ” – London Evening Standard Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 93% 4/5 “However, what makes this wickedly entertaining is how ridiculously amusing it is, and how such an incredibly stupid proposition ended up being so watchable.” – London Evening Standard Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% 5/5 “It's a gloriously original tribute to anyone who truly dares to go their own way, but particularly the amazing women who do it under extreme fire.” – London Evening Standard Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 5/5 “Of course, it wouldn’t be a juicy ascendancy story without a steady flow of Machiavellian machinations and revelations, although they are delivered effectively here...” – London Evening Standard Oct 10, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 5/5 “Fargeat does grotesque deliciously, and in every way.” – London Evening Standard Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 5/5 “Alien groupies will be cock-a-hoop, as the metal-mouthed, acid-dribbling creature is as terrifying as it’s ever been. As will the gore-hounds... Álvarez does it all with mighty oomph and relentless, cold, hard menace.” – London Evening Standard Aug 14, 2024 Full Review I Saw the 온라인카지노추천 Glow (2024) 84% 3/5 “There’s a desperately important moral to this film... It’s a lesson told in a manner likely to elicit either declarations of “instant classic” or, over here in this seat, “swift turn-off”.” – London Evening Standard Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% 2/5 “Hardcore obsessives of the horror genre might gorge their hearts out on this, but for the fairweather fan the search for genuine scares continues…” – London Evening Standard Jul 9, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% 5/5 “While the gore flows as surely and freely as Maxine’s perverse ascent to the summit of the red carpet, West excels with some genuinely memorable cinematic flourishes... You’ll have never witnessed body parts tumble from a suitcase with such gleeful elan.” – London Evening Standard Jul 3, 2024 Full Review The Exorcism (2024) 27% 3/5 “A quick crick of the neck and a snapping, sideways smirk of pure evil; Crowe’s still got cinematic chutzpah. ” – London Evening Standard Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Swede Caroline (2022) 86% 2/5 “It’s supposed to look amateurish, but it feels like an amateurish attempt at pretending to be amateurish.” – London Evening Standard May 15, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 5/5 “This is sharper, slicker, more resonant than the first installment.” – London Evening Standard Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Wicked Little Letters (2023) 80% 3/5 “A cosy, bumbling farce.” – London Evening Standard Feb 21, 2024 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% “Walks, soars and gambols all over the competition. There’s no one quite as wondrous as Miyazaki.” – London Evening Standard Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Wonka (2023) 82% 5/5 “The morning after seeing it, this musical-phobic writer was loofah-ing in the shower and still gleefully singing, “Ooompa, loopma, doompety doo…”. So I'd say, mission accomplished.” – London Evening Standard Dec 4, 2023 Full Review The Bikeriders (2023) 80% “Jodie Comer roars into her first Great American Film Role. And in his finest effort yet, Mud director Jeff Nichols has given her quite the machine to ride on.” – London Evening Standard Oct 10, 2023 Full Review
