A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% “'Show don't tell' is about as vital a rule of cinema as it's possible to find. Minecraft doesn't so much flout that rule as it does build a wall of green blocks around it.” – Yahoo! Movies Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% “By allowing itself to fully break free of its chains, it pushes the killer robot concept to its ludicrous limit and beyond.” – Yahoo! Movies Feb 4, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 4/5 “"It’s the sort of hulking creative monument that Hollywood seldom has room for in the 21st century."” – Voice Magazine Jan 23, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4/5 “This sort of mature, knotty portrait of a complex icon is exactly what the biopic is all about.” – Voice Magazine Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% “It's a sexually-charged story in which nobody seems to be getting any sexual charge out of what happens.” – Yahoo! Movies Jan 13, 2025 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% 5/5 “All of human life is here in this film and it’s a joy to watch it flash by your eyes. It might just make you value your own life even more.” – Voice Magazine Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% “The problem is that Red One seems to either hate Christmas or fundamentally misunderstand it as a concept.” – Voice Magazine Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 3/5 “Wears the clothes of a political thriller underneath the billowing robes of Catholic traditionalism. ” – Voice Magazine Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 4/5 “"Dougal Wilson has decided not just to look after this bear, but to treat him like family. And in a world full of grey clouds, literal and metaphorical, that’s worth its weight in gold – or marmalade."” – Voice Magazine Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% “If you can’t enjoy Tom Hardy sitting in stony silence while his alien lover croons along joyfully to Space Oddity inside his head, then I don’t know what to tell you.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% “There must be a Venn diagram middle section of people who love both edgelord internet philosophy and visual nods to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, but you need a microscope to find it.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Oct 13, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “Fargeat’s movies are assaultive and guttural, delivering their messages with the fearsome aggression of a sledgehammer to the sternum.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Red Rooms (2023) 96% “An immersive journey into the very real grubbiness of the world we have allowed technology to build around us.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Sep 8, 2024 Full Review AfrAId (2024) 23% “Every line of dialogue is stilted, every theme is spelled out in laboriously literal terms, and the characters never feel even close to human.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Sep 8, 2024 Full Review The Echo (2023) 100% “This is a movie that rewards patient audiences, but represents something of a challenge to others.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% “This isn’t really a movie. It’s just a lame Reddit thread upvoted by Kevin Feige. Surely, after more than 15 years of cultural dominance, Marvel can do better than that.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% “If you ever stop to think for too long, the movie shakes you out of your seat with some of its bone-rattling spectacle.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Chuck Chuck Baby (2023) 100% “While I didn’t totally key into the film’s unique tone, I appreciated its commitment to crowd-pleasing joy and the weirdness of its world.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% “Something about Longlegs feels as forbidden and satanic as the characters’ occult interests, like it’s cracked open a door to let pure darkness leak out into the world.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 56% “This is a triumph for silly voices and route one slapstick.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 13, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% “This time around, MaXXXine wears its time period and genre like an accessory rather than an intrinsic part of its DNA.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Kill (2023) 89% “There are punches, kicks, shootings, bludgeonings, and more stabbings than a pin cushion factory.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% “Kinds of Kindness stretches its darkness to the point that it becomes mundane — perhaps deliberately — and more than a little boring — almost certainly not deliberately.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Something in the Water (2024) 48% “Something in the Water takes the sub-genre seriously and, as a result, it crafts something gripping, memorable, and genuinely thrilling. Even when the sharks aren’t circling.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jul 5, 2024 Full Review The Bikeriders (2023) 80% “This is a film fascinated by blowing away the acrid smoke, peeling off the denim jackets, and scratching at the fragile masculinity hidden beneath it all.” – The Popcorn Muncher (Substack) Jun 22, 2024 Full Review
