Sinners (2025)
98%
3.5/5
“Do all the narrative and thematic threads come together? No. Sinners almost works better in parts than as a whole. But it’s always enthralling, as if you too is trapped in a spell, as if you’ve struck a bargain with the devil.” –

3/5
“Drop is certainly cheesy and outlandish at times, you’ll even roll your eyes once or twice. But like the most thrilling of those 90s thrillers, you’ll never be bored.” –

3/5
“Viola Davis is the dealmaker. Sure, she brings an extra dimension of emotional truth and groundedness to the character, but it’s not just that. It’s also what Sutton symbolises.” –

Disney's Snow White (2025)

2.5/5
“It’s too cheesy, too over-the-top and too visually flat while brimming over with hyperactive theatre kid energy that’s better suited for a Disney Princesses cruise ship show.” –

“Flow oozes with charm and playfulness, a delightful multi-generational film that captures a quiet grace missing from so many modern animated features obsessed with manic edits, flashing colours and cacophonous sound design.” –
