Parthenope (2024) 46% 3/5 “These picaresque and picturesque adventures fail to coalesce into a movie. But it’s impossible to argue with Daria D’Antonio’s ravishing cinematography and an unexpectedly moving coda featuring Stefania Sandrelli as an older Parthenope.” – Irish Times Apr 30, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% 4/5 “The Norwegian writer-director Emilie Blichfeldt roasts conventional heroines and female beauty standards in this gruesome, hilarious reworking of Cinderella.” – Irish Times Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Fréwaka (2024) 94% 4/5 “...Fréwaka ambitiously mines Irish mythology and history for socially conscious spookery.” – Irish Times Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Verdigris (2023) 4/5 “This is a feature made with love and powered along by the tremendous performances of [Geraldine] McAlinden and [Maya] O’Shea.” – Irish Times Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Grand Tour (2024) 91% 5/5 “It is a film of many enchantments.” – Irish Times Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Holy Cow (2024) 97% 4/5 “An auspicious debut for everyone involved.” – Irish Times Apr 9, 2025 Full Review The Return (2024) 78% 3.5/5 “Uberto Pasolini’s minimalist adaptation of the gory closing chapters of Homer’s epic poem eschews witches, monsters and goddesses in favour of PTSD. There are no frills.” – Irish Times Apr 9, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 47% 3/5 “The moon is square and the action is so daft that it makes the Sonic the Hedgehog sequence feel like the work of Ingmar Bergman. Fair enough.” – Irish Times Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 83% 4/5 “Marc Evans’s film is a lovely thing...[Toby] Jones and [Leslie] Manville are predictably excellent.” – Irish Times Apr 3, 2025 Full Review La Cocina (2024) 75% 4/5 “Ruizpalacios’s thrilling, sprawling drama takes on late-stage capitalism, exploitation and the precariousness of immigrant life in extravagant style.” – Irish Times Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% 4/5 “The heavily decorated Misericordia...offers a heady and murky marriage of enigmatic motivations, sexual and otherwise.” – Irish Times Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 3/5 “The most distracting flaws are rooted in the problematic re-creation of animated material ... The permanent magic-hour lighting is hard to look at. Worst of all, the decision to “cartoonise” the dwarves alongside human actors is hugely problematic.” – Irish Times Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 2/5 “Too juvenile for 1990s nostalgics and too violent for tots, The Electric State keeps shifting tone in what feel like rug-pulls. The cartoonish bots are a poor fit for a sweary showdown. The plot is a mess of transhuman sci-fi goop.” – Irish Times Mar 14, 2025 Full Review The Damned (2024) 91% 3.5/5 “The Damned is powered along by suspicion, atmospherics and an unforgettable landscape. Young is a capable final girl, her fierceness tempered only by the hint of repressed romance.” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% 5/5 “The ever-reliable Dyrholm is both charismatic and curdling as the grubby matriarch. But most of the film is writ large and affectingly in Sonne’s agonised face. ” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Pepe (2024) 71% 4/5 “The cumulative effect of the speculative fantasy and hybrid presentation is profoundly sad, as a voiceless victim of the drug cartels meets a terrible fate in a strange land.” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Parachute (2023) 83% 3.5/5 “The weight of the subjects is counterpointed with good humour and common sense. The action is character driven, not issue led. It’s a heartfelt miniature, prettily shot by the cinematographer Kristen Correll.” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 3/5 “As with Kimi and Unsane, Soderbergh occasionally has more fun with the constraints than we do. There’s nothing as compelling or creepy as Kristen Stewart’s dance with the unseen in Personal Shopper.” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review The Colors Within (2024) 93% 4/5 “There are no big dramas, save for a call up to the office for skipping a school trip. Reiko Yoshida’s script instead foregrounds sincere friendship and the joyful mechanics of songwriting.” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 4/5 “Entertainingly punctuated by horror pyrotechnics and quick reprogrammings. We salute the costume and continuity departments (Betty Austin) on Iris’s consistently bloody frills as she runs, fights and reasons for her “life”. ” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review The Fire Inside (2024) 93% 3/5 “The Fire Inside has enough quality to please genre and sports enthusiasts even if it feels like an undercard fixture. For all the talent on both sides of the camera, the nuts-and-bolts script lacks innovation and the pacing neither bobs nor weaves. ” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 4/5 “Pitch-black humour occasionally punctures the misery of Elliot’s dark, antipodean fable. The jokes are quite angular. The number plate of the bus that takes Gilbert away reads YRUSAD. For all the gloom, this is a lovely, heartfelt creation. ” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Schmeichel (2025) 3/5 “Owen Davies’s engaging documentary portrait about the retired Danish footballer, who is currently touring as a musician, includes surprising details” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review The People's Joker (2022) 96% 4/5 “The DC Extended Universe should take notes. This legally challenged DIY parody is, hands down, the most innovative superhero film of the decade.” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Vermiglio (2024) 93% 5/5 “Mikhail Krichman, Andrey Zvyagintsev’s regular cinematographer, finds gorgeous snowy tableaux among the vertiginous heights. The mostly amateur cast are impressive, with Martina Scrinzi a heartbreaking standout.” – Irish Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review
