Sister Midnight (2024) 96% 3/5 “An over-eager, idea-stuffed debut that keeps you engaged with its surprising twists, but which nevertheless could have used a little pruning. ” – Empire Magazine Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 5/5 “Without being too grandiose, The Brutalist is what cinema is all about.” – The Curzon Journal Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 4/5 “Much of the film’s drama derives from its morally porous central relationship, its skirting around the question of who exactly has the power. ” – The Curzon Journal Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 88% 3.5/5 “ Better Man doesn’t feel as guarded, as micromanaged, as other films of its ilk. ” – The Curzon Journal Dec 17, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% 4/5 “It’s bracing to watch The Apprentice. This is an uncompromising movie defiantly working outside the system and answering to no one. ” – The Curzon Journal Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 75% 3/5 “The film is much like the social-media platforms whose parlance it has swallowed: a lacquered, curated irreality that’s fun to spend time with – but might just end up being very bad for you. ” – The Curzon Journal Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Sky Peals (2023) 100% 3/5 “Sky Peals builds tension effectively, but stops short of meaningfully engaging with its chosen (and very worthwhile) themes. Still, if it’s a creepy-mood piece you’re after, this fits the bill. ” – Empire Magazine Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Kensuke's Kingdom (2023) 97% 3/5 “Though low-stakes for an adventure film, this is nonetheless an engaging, found-family eco-fable that imparts an important conservationist message with considerable, at times impressionistic, style. ” – Empire Magazine Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 3.5/5 “It’s necessarily silly – the kind of dumb fun that has you rolling your eyes, but simultaneously outstretching your hand for more.” – The Curzon Journal Jul 16, 2024 Full Review The Nature of Love (2023) 92% 3.5/5 “The Nature of Love offers a well rounded, even-handed view of an amorous dalliance – from the fizzing endorphin rush to the inevitable comedown – that’s sympathetic to both parties.” – The Curzon Journal Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% 4/5 “Emma Stone has two Oscars and the world at her feet, but prefers to collaborate with Lanthimos on freaky curios that require her to fellate nightsticks as opposed to following a more conventional, A-list path. More power to her. ” – The Curzon Journal Jun 25, 2024 Full Review The Beast (2023) 86% 4/5 “What keeps all of the film’s sky-high concepts not only legible, but engrossing, is Seydoux; she is its grounding force, guiding us through the Dantean maze of mahogany-panelled ballrooms and neon-streaked dancefloors.” – The Curzon Journal May 29, 2024 Full Review Werner Herzog: Radical Dreamer (2022) 96% 3/5 “A watchable, if by-the-book, documentary. It’s only a pity that the conventional storytelling hems in such a deeply unconventional director. ” – Empire Magazine May 17, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% 4/5 “Challengers is full of games. Tennis games, naturally, but also mind games, power games, sex games.” – The Curzon Journal Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Anyone But You (2023) 54% 3/5 “I don’t need much more from these sorts of films than vague narrative coherence, chemistry between the leads and memorable set pieces, all of which Anyone But You has.” – The Curzon Journal Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Eileen (2023) 82% 2/5 “Anne Hathaway brightens this limp genre exercise that mistakenly prioritises B-movie thrills over more nuanced character interplay. ” – Empire Magazine Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Fingernails (2023) 60% 3.5/5 “A searching, gently melancholy romantic drama that recognises, when it comes to love, we are often left with more questions than answers.” – The Curzon Journal Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 4/5 “A sprawling, kaleidoscopic portrait of greed, violence and moral depravity.” – The Curzon Journal Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Fair Play (2023) 86% 4/5 “It’s an incisive study of workplace power dynamics. It’s a critique of the testosterone palaces that uphold the banking industry. It’s an investigation into a corrosive, self-worth-burning romance. ” – The Curzon Journal Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Revoir Paris (2022) 94% 4/5 “Devastating, yet ultimately rewarding, Paris Memories [Revoir Paris] offers an alternative to the usual socio-political consideration of a terrorist attack by drawing a humane, kaleidoscopic portrait of various survivors’ crisis responses.” – Empire Magazine Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% 4.5/5 “Barbie is a dazzling, frothy meta-comedy that’s very much in on the joke. Its varnished artificiality is a powder-pink Trojan Horse with which the film smuggles its very real commentary on gender politics.” – The Curzon Journal Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) 96% 4/5 “So masterfully constructed, so legibly established is the film that you never feel the sheer effort required to make it.” – The Curzon Journal Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Inland (2022) 47% 2/5 “It lurches erratically between genres and themes, resulting in a muddled story whose reach exceeds its grasp.” – Empire Magazine Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Full Time (2021) 98% 4/5 “That’s the stress-inducing nightmare of Full Time, a nail-biting domestic thriller that dramatises the mundane horrors of commuting as a means of exposing the precarity of the lower-middle class.” – The Curzon Journal May 23, 2023 Full Review The Eight Mountains (2022) 90% 3/5 “It’s overlong, and overfamiliar, but remains a nuanced dual character study.” – Empire Magazine May 12, 2023 Full Review
