Locked Down (2021)
41%
“Locked Down isn't a bad film, but, again, there is something slightly grim about watching other people Zoom their bosses during your own free time.” –

Coming 2 America (2021)
49%
“Sure, Coming 2 America is cheesy, formulaic and relies heavily on its predecessor's reputation. However, it's also occasionally heartwarming, full of joy and doesn't take itself too seriously.” –

I Care a Lot (2020)
79%
“Through half-concealed smiles when met with technically bad news and a fiendish glint in her eye, Pike has mastered the art of portraying the corrupt pretender, lulling audiences into a sense of sinister security as she enacts her evils.” –

Malcolm & Marie (2021)
57%
“Both actors do enough with the material to make you believe that something interesting might happen in Malcolm & Marie, but the trouble is that something never arrives.” –

Pieces of a Woman (2020)
76%
“Matha's story, with Kirby at the reins, is a powerful study of rebuilding after loss, continuing to march forward when all you want to do is yell into the abyss. Given the current state of the world, we could perhaps all learn from it.” –

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020)
97%
“There's no getting around the fact that Ma Rainey's Black Bottom feels like a play, but there was perhaps no more fitting way for Boseman to show the world the extent of his talent before he passed away.” –

Gemini Man (2019)
27%
“Let's be clear, Gemini Man is not a terrible film, but it's the kind of film that would probably be better received on flight than in 3-D at your local iMax.” –

The Lion King (2019)
51%
“While you can't fault Favreau's Lion King for its technical innovation and, yes, talking lions are still a thing of fantasy, it lacks the imagination of its predecessors.” –

Aladdin (2019)
57%
“Despite my blue Will Smith-fuelled reservations about the film, I was immediately transported to my childhood living room and began to lap up the buzz of the Kingdom Of Agrabah with the same enthusiasm of an easily amused four-year-old.” –
