3/5
“The troubled romance between Maren and Lee is a highlight and the strong finale finally brings a bit of direction to the story, but it’s not enough to save this muddled film.” –

“Not just a howl of rage against the institutions that ignore the suffering of ordinary people, but a reminder of what has been lost along the way.” –

Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (2022)

2/5
“There is something interesting to be found in Iñárritu’s premise, in a world where journalism has become corrupted by the growing need to monetise in order to stay alive. But it is explored too rarely to really leave an impact.” –

“The film lives or dies by its lead performance, and Bill Nighy is on supreme form, burying his natural charisma behind a socially contracted politeness and the weight of decades of bureaucracy.” –

“Freshman Year, the debut feature from writer, director and lead, Cooper Raiff, shows promise with a distinctive perspective on the college/uni experience, but ultimately falls back on disappointing romcom clichés.” –

“The direction, and particularly the production design from Alain Bainée, are superb, bringing life to what could be a repetitive sequence of sketches. But the main trio's performances are the highlight.” –

4/5
“Gyllenhaal demonstrates impressive control for a debut director, instantly reassuring the viewer that she knows what she's doing. But she drops the ball at the end of this quietly heart-breaking drama, with the final 20 minutes begging to be cut.” –

“Kristen Stewart is a fantastic choice for this Diana, superb at conveying emotion through small expressions. She radiates charisma befitting the woman herself, with a little help from the luminous lens of Claire Mathon.” –

“Wright has always been quietly political, digging at small-town conservatism and the misery of conformity. This script, written with Krysty Wilson-Cairns, is his most explicit yet, resolving into a howl of despair.” –

“It's completely understandable for Sorrentino to dramatise the tragedy of his teenage years in this way, but it's hard to escape the feeling that The Hand of God would be more powerful if it was less faithful.” –

“With The Card Counter, Schrader returns to old archetypes and styles, but with less success. Isaac is captivating as he walks a line of methodical madness, but the rest of the film is too clumsy to match its early promise.” –
