Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg (2023) 88% “Telling extracts, read by Scarlett Johansson, are enhanced by an extraordinary cache of archive footage of Anita during her romantic encounters with various Rolling Stones. ” – Irish Independent May 30, 2024 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% 5/5 “La Chimera is a beautiful, haunting film, playful and melancholy, deliberately ragged around the edges.” – Irish Independent May 10, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% 3/5 “The effects in this film are astonishing -- when the apes speak, it does not seem surprising. But the relative absence of people becomes problematic, and a 144-minute running time stretches a slender plot to breaking point.” – Irish Independent May 10, 2024 Full Review Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024) 99% 5/5 “[A] fascinating documentary.” – Irish Independent May 10, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 82% 2/5 “Overall, The Fall Guy feels smug and self-satisfied.” – Irish Independent May 3, 2024 Full Review Unfrosted (2024) 40% 2/5 “It all gets a bit broad towards the end, as too many half-cooked ideas are thrown at the wall. But it has its charms and is sometimes genuinely funny.” – Irish Independent May 3, 2024 Full Review The Idea of You (2024) 81% 4/5 “Hathaway is a wonderfully relaxed and soulful central presence here, and her chemistry with Galitzine is delightful.” – Irish Independent May 3, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% 5/5 “Beautifully constructed by Guadagnino and his cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, Challengers is written like one of those hard-boiled 1930s screwball comedies.” – Irish Independent Apr 26, 2024 Full Review In the Land of Saints and Sinners (2023) 83% 3/5 “It’s a good laugh overall, and one of big Liam’s better action vehicles.” – Irish Independent Apr 26, 2024 Full Review That They May Face the Rising Sun (2023) 97% 5/5 “Pat Collins has made many fine films down the years, and surpasses himself with this elegiac adaptation of John McGahern’s final novel.” – Irish Independent Apr 26, 2024 Full Review The Sweet East (2023) 81% 3/5 “The Sweet East has a ragged charm but is a little too glib to be taken seriously as a political satire.” – Irish Independent Apr 19, 2024 Full Review The Book of Clarence (2023) 66% “In the end [The Book of Clarence can’t decide if it’s making fun of the New Testament or singing its praises. It has its moments though, and is led from the front by LaKeith Stanfield, a fine actor too seldom in the spotlight.” – Irish Independent Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Abigail (2024) 83% 3/5 “Abigail is purest schlock, and its makers would claim to know it: the tone is broadly comic, and Dan Stevens does a fine line in eye-rolling villains.” – Irish Independent Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% 4/5 “Back to Black resists pathos, and operatic flourishes, and seems like a genuine attempt to paint Amy not as a doomed heroine, but a person -- and a pretty extraordinary one at that.” – Irish Independent Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) 71% 3/5 “Animation aside, Jack Black's vocal energy has always been the secret weapon. He's on form here again, but with fewer jokes in his arsenal than usual, and Kung Fu Panda 4, while enjoyable, doesn't have the same exuberance of its predecessors.” – Irish Independent Mar 28, 2024 Full Review The Origin of Evil (2022) 92% 4/5 “Some currently fashionable split-screen effects are intended to keep you guessing till the end, and a subplot involving Stephane’s imprisoned girlfriend adds spice to this hugely enjoyable film.” – Irish Independent Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Mothers' Instinct (2024) 52% 3/5 “There’s a touch of the Douglas Sirks about Mothers’ Instinct, a glossy, goosebumpy thriller set in a plush 1960s American suburb.” – Irish Independent Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) 42% “[The problems] are threefold. Firstly, it adds nothing new to a flimsy formula, and neglects newer characters; secondly, it is paced as urgently as a snail’s funeral; and thirdly, its ancient villain is so unsatisfying I felt like booing it.” – Irish Independent Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Irish Wish (2024) 42% 2/5 “It’s silly, but entirely inoffensive.” – Irish Independent Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Drive-Away Dolls (2024) 63% 3/5 “Matt Damon shows up in an amusing cameo, Beanie Feldstein is very funny as a hot-headed lesbian cop, and Geraldine Viswanathan brings depth to a flimsy role. But ultimately, Drive-Away Dolls feels slight and derivative, a knock-off Coen brothers’ film.” – Irish Independent Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Monster (2023) 96% 5/5 “I love the way the story keeps you constantly thinking, and forces you to empathise with characters you might have been on the point of hating.” – Irish Independent Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World (2023) 97% 4/5 “Nina Hoss plays an odious Austrian multinational boss, and the whole thing is an uproarious hoot, though at almost three hours it might be a little long for some.” – Irish Independent Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Origin (2023) 81% 3/5 “Origin becomes a bit too didactic for its own good late on, but the theories it propounds offer fascinating insights into the roots of American racism.” – Irish Independent Mar 8, 2024 Full Review High & Low - John Galliano (2023) 87% 4/5 “[An] absorbing documentary.” – Irish Independent Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 3/5 “It all looks very nice, though deserts have a wearisome colour palate, and Mr Villeneuve fairly flogged the giant worms to death in the first one. It’s all a bit up itself, though Javier Bardem provides sly Life of Brian-style humour.” – Irish Independent Mar 1, 2024 Full Review
