3/5
“Directors Maya Cueva and Leah Galant offer a glimpse of a story that demands a greater and deeper focus. Nonetheless, On the Divide is a well-paced and riveting film about nothing short of life and death.” –

3/5
“Without an engrossing plotline, it's hard to see where the franchise will take us next, but this instalment is the escapist action film we all needed.” –

Shook (2021)

3/5
“A few truly tense scenes, a good central performance and an interesting blend of real life and digital experiences make Shook worth a watch, but it remains firmly in the camp of horror B-movies.” –

3/5
“Zanka Contact is a stylish and exciting watch, delivered with great acting and a catchy theme song, but its tonal shifts and messy plot mean that it never quite finds its feet.” –

2/5
“It really is the case of character development and context being sacrificed in place of jump scares and arbitrary exoticism in this scary but over-familiar horror.” –

The Brink (2019)
84%
3/5
“[The Brink's] observational style is undoubtedly problematic. Despite this, the film's behind-the-scenes focus on the rise of European fascism makes for important, if nerve-jangling, viewing.” –

XY Chelsea (2019)

2/5
“XY Chelsea commits neither to being a portrait of Manning nor to investigating the aftermath of her political actions. Instead it floats dreamily between the two, never quite getting to the bottom of the many questions it raises.” –

Tolkien (2019)

3/5
“Tolkien is a pleasant watch. Its earnestness might not be to all tastes, but perhaps that is a reasonable reflection of Middle Earth: a serious world in which romance and friendship are all that is left to believe in.” –
