The Salt Path (2024)
4/5
“In the face of misfortune on this scale, it’s tempting to tune out and leave them to it, but Anderson and Isaacs are both so appealing in the roles that you can’t help becoming involved.” –

“...although there should be a moral in [the plot] somewhere, the result is so risible and Cage’s performance so ridiculous that all you can do is laugh.” –

Tinā (2024)

4/5
“It is certainly a tear-jerker. It’s not going to surprise you by taking off into uncharted narrative territory but it’s the kind of tear-jerker which never loses touch with reality.” –

National Theatre Live: Dr. Strangelove (2025)
3.5/5
“Filmed theatre is a strange hybrid. No matter how artfully it’s shot, it leaves you feeling rather remote from the action. Nonetheless, Strangelove is, in essence, so overblown that theatricality is all part of the experience.” –

“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.” –

“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.” –

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.” –
