Maggie Moore(s) (2023) 51% 3/5 “The talented cast suffers from underwritten characters that just about get by on charm, while a pervasive cartoonishness means nothing carries much weight and the film, while watchable, will likely be quickly forgotten.” – Radio Times Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Revoir Paris (2022) 94% 4/5 “Paired with Efira's spare, haunted performance, the narrative builds to become a moving celebration of the strength that can be found in shared human connection.” – Radio Times Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Fatman (2020) 44% 2/5 “We've had Bad Santa, but Fatman is often just plain bad.” – Radio Times Apr 3, 2023 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) 90% 5/5 “Berger stages the film's battle scenes in ways both epic and intimate, reaching new levels of horror with each charge across the blasted landscape.” – Radio Times Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Where Is Anne Frank (2021) 76% 5/5 “Folman employs a range of styles that bitter-sweetly immerse us in her imagination and deadly reality, and the result is both vibrant and desperately sad. ” – Radio Times Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Rumble (2021) 47% 3/5 “Silly, unsophisticated, big-hearted fun.” – Radio Times Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Encounter (2021) 55% 4/5 “Encounter may not always feel original, but it grippingly captures, deliberately or otherwise, the paranoia and strangeness of our conspiracy-drenched times.” – Radio Times Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Misha and the Wolves (2021) 86% 4/5 “There is a sense that the director is only scratching the surface, but the film is unceasingly engaging and provocative...” – Radio Times Oct 7, 2021 Full Review Here We Are (2020) 100% 5/5 “Nothing feels forced or false, and when tears flow at the end, they're fully earned. An unmissable gem.” – Radio Times Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Reunion (2020) 91% 3/5 “Although the shattering climax is as confusing as it is shocking, the striking visuals ensure that Reunion lingers long after the end credits.” – Radio Times Aug 12, 2021 Full Review The Croods: A New Age (2020) 76% 4/5 “The jokes come thick and fast, and you're left hoping for more stories about this entertainingly quirky brood.” – Radio Times Jul 15, 2021 Full Review The Comeback Trail (2020) 33% 3/5 “After a promising start, though, the initially witty material becomes increasingly thin, relying on the starry cast's energy to prop it up.” – Radio Times Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Rams (2020) 91% 3/5 “While the film moves at a pace that could be too leisurely for some, director Jeremy Sims convincingly captures the farming backdrop, and his film's tenderness and charm prove irresistible.” – Radio Times Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021) 63% 3/5 “The film is undeniably well made, and features some eye-catching New Mexico scenery (standing in for Montana), but it is sadly minor, forgettable fare.” – Radio Times Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Black Bear (2020) 89% 3/5 “However, the actors all offer precise, well-observed performances, with Plaza disgorging painful depths of emotion with a frightening, Gena Rowlands-like intensity, and she keeps you riveted throughout.” – Radio Times Apr 21, 2021 Full Review Greenland (2020) 77% 4/5 “The film's strength lies in its intimate approach - we stay close to the family as they travel through a disintegrating landscape of givers and takers - and it is the human focus, rather than the special effects, that ultimately keeps you gripped.” – Radio Times Feb 11, 2021 Full Review The White Tiger (2021) 91% 4/5 “Directed with energy and handsomely shot, The White Tiger is a bracing and at times confrontational movie. It loses some momentum in the middle, but rallies for an unnerving climax.” – Radio Times Jan 21, 2021 Full Review Limbo (2020) 93% 5/5 “The result is one of the best films ever made about the refugee experience.” – Radio Times Nov 21, 2020 Full Review Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020) 91% 4/5 “Jingle Jangle isn't perfect - its plot holds few surprises and its tone is uneven - but succeeds, nonetheless, as an entertaining and good-natured fairy tale that should delight viewers of all ages.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2020 Full Review The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) 89% 3/5 “Sorkin captures the period and issues well, while being alert to connections with our own fractious era, and the fantastic ensemble keeps you engaged when the writer's verbosity begins to become wearing.” – Radio Times Oct 13, 2020 Full Review Come as You Are (2019) 94% 4/5 “Though not perfect, this warm-hearted tale of friendship and shared humanity is a fun ride worth taking.” – Radio Times Aug 19, 2020 Full Review The Jesus Rolls (2019) 20% 2/5 “A curate's egg, let down by juvenile humour, a pungent whiff of self-indulgence, and a dark turn that almost sends it careering off the road.” – Radio Times Aug 19, 2020 Full Review How to Build a Girl (2019) 79% 4/5 “The film doesn't dig very deep, but it is big-hearted fun, with a protagonist you'll love.” – Radio Times Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% 4/5 “Sombre and sensitive, Hittman's film offers a searing, outraged indictment of a world where women still have to fight for control of their lives and bodies, without ever resorting to polemics or political grandstanding.” – Radio Times Aug 19, 2020 Full Review A Monster Calls (2016) 86% 4/5 “This is a true must-see for adults and older children alike.” – The National (UAE) Jan 11, 2017 Full Review
