3/5
“The absurdities which result are intermittently entertaining, but the film’s first half has put us on the road to something much more involving, and I spent the rest of it wondering what might have been.” –

The Amateur (2025)

4/5
“Some of the script is too clever for its own good – so convoluted that you’re not quite sure where it’s going – but it’s fun and, at times, surprisingly poignant.” –

Small Things Like These (2024)

4/5
“The ending is a little too abrupt for a film put together with such subtlety. Much is left unsaid, but if the script had gone any further, it would have had to embark on a sequel. ” –

“DreamWorks has some wonderfully zany creations to its credit and the box-office receipts to back them up, but this one really strains the relationship. It’s exhausting.” –

In Vitro (2024)
3.5/5
“The second part turns into an extended chase sequence which is engineered to make the most of the bleak and lonely landscape surrounding the farm, and it has enough twists to delay your inevitable questions about the increasing number of loose ends.” –

“It’s a marvellous performance by Fiennes – measured out in stealthy silences and terse admissions, and Binoche matches him all the way.” –

“As thrillers go, this certainly has novelty on its side. Instead of guns and knives, the weapons of choice are wheelchairs, asthma puffers and a dementia doll.” –

“All up, the scene-setting is terrific. Las Vegas, too, is shown without its make-up – sunstruck and weathered, with a dull suburban fringe – but after we get the picture, the script doesn’t have anywhere much to go.” –
