“The Amateur has just enough brains to ruin the fun of a shlocky thriller but not enough to satisfy the Jason Bourne crowd...” –

Mr. Burton (2025)

3/5
“Presumably, the film didn’t want anything that interfered with its inspirational teacher narrative — To Sir, with Love with coal dust on top — but it forces Jones into a certain insipidness. ” –

The End (2024)

2/5
“Oppenheimer is up to something similar here — he’s transfixed by this family of American oligarchs posing for their family photo — but Lord, does the film luxuriate in its own moral superiority to these people.” –

Disney's Snow White (2025)
40%
2/5
“It’s Disney that has the princess problem... we must all sit by while it subjects them to pusillanimous, half-hearted deconstruction — royal but not entitled, blue-blooded but tilting towards social justice, imperilled but not in need of rescue.” –

“Fassbender’s crispness is the perfect foil for Blanchett’s immaculately dressed voluptuary: the two entwine in bed like snakes but you never doubt their devotion to one another.” –

The Monkey (2025)

3/5
“It’s an inventive enough anthology of gruesome deaths, but its sick-puppy humour is a game of dwindling returns, and the film’s sense of malevolence never rises above the level of grisly mischief. ” –
