Monster (2019)

Rose Plays Julie (2019)
95%
“Rose Plays Julie provides space for a wistful and at times violent imagining of this different life, playing out as a sweeping, at times overwhelming, thriller without losing the trappings of an intimate confessional Irish drama.” –

Gemini Man (2019)

Black '47 (2018)

“Not only is Lance Daly's newest feature a rollicking western with fantastic action and excellent performances, it also demonstrates how a film's subject matter can add much-needed pathos and nuance to a genre. Colour me impressed.” –

The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
71%
“The real reason to watch The Secret Life of Pets is for the animation, with the beautifully sprawling vistas of Manhattan a wonderful reflection of the animals' idealised version of the city as their home and centre of their universe.” –
