Warfare (2025)

3.5/5
“A taut, stressful and immersive experience, with some great, lived-in performances. And just like Civil War, it doesn't need to be didactic in its (otherwise very clear) messaging. ” –

“Paul Schrader's ambient excursion into the psyche of a self-mythologising (and self-loathing) artist is equal parts enigmatic and revealing.” –

“A mostly fun and kind-of interesting sci-fi flick that is neither wacky nor punchy enough to leave the kind of mark we'd expect from Bong Joon-ho.” –

4.5/5
“An absolutely fantastic political (yet nakedly personal) drama. This kind of movie comes from a sort of evergreen cinematic stock that never goes out of fashion. Walter Salles and the actors playing the Paiva family make it thrum with movement and life.” –

Presence (2024)

3/5
“Arguably, removing the fourth wall and giving us a second-person POV is the essence of all cinema, not just this haunted house flick, but there are still some novel interventions and ideas from Soderbergh here.” –

Companion (2025)

4/5
“A fun and spiky comic-thriller with plenty of novel ideas and a spectacular lead performance from Sophie Thatcher. Thankfully, the film's success doesn't hinge on whether or not you know the premise going in; Companion is built to last.” –

“A sensual, textural film about the unrequited loves, and lives, of two Indian nurses. Director Payal Kapadia honours and echoes a couple titans of international cinema here: Wong Kar-wai and Abbas Kiarostami.” –

“A withering black comedy that's more arch (and surreal) than, say, any of Armando Iannucci's recent political satires, and is benefitted by Maddin and company's phantasmagoric approach.” –
