EDIT
“Lowery has crafted an intense and chilling examination of the power, permanence and everlasting pull of emotional bonds. Yet it doesn’t all gel satisfactorily with the arena sequences.” –

Ultras (2025)
4/5
EDIT
“Running at just under 90 minutes, the film Ekner has crafted not only examines the politics and socioeconomics of each country she visits, but also channels the atmosphere of each locale via potent vistas and exhilarating revelry.” –

How to Make a Killing (2026)

3/5
EDIT
“It’s a gross tour through the pursuits of the rich and famous, the problem is, it’s not that funny or compelling. Powell makes it watchable, even when you know where the film is heading. ” –

EDIT
“Instead of using talking heads for conjecture and opinion, it is Faithfull herself who is filmed admiring and lamenting her life. That is what sets this documentary apart as it delicately crafts intimate moments.” –

5/5
EDIT
“It’s essentially an odd-couple comedy wrapped up in a big warm hug of a science-fiction family film that asks big questions and never speaks down to its audience.” –

“Fennell reflects the eventual demise of these doomed lovers with painterly melancholy. This is a disquieting and highly stylised ghost(ing) story for a new generation. ” –

“Cooper’s kinetic camerawork and Matthew Libatique’s dynamic cinematography mirrors the exhausting balancing act of middle age perfectly fine without having to spell it out for the audience.” –

EDIT
“Wright may drop way too much into the mix with The Running Man but it’s a film that certainly goes for gold and nearly achieves it as an old school Hollywood blockbuster with modern sensibilities.” –

“Cianfrance takes a daring swerve away from his usual melancholic working- class love stories, such as the powerful anti-romance Blue Valentine, to deliver a comedy that delivers big laughs and the occasional thrill.” –

“With his Superman reboot, Gunn toys slightly with nostalgia (fans of the quadrilogy from the 1970s/80s will recognise some similar beats) but mostly this is a forward-looking superhero movie that manages to be both heartfelt and thrilling places.” –

“A beautiful sci-fi tragicomedy that grows in power the more you consider the ideas it presents. Cronenberg ponders on the contemporary world... with intellectual vigour, absurd humour and visual potency. ” –

“A pointed deconstruction of masculinity that simultaneously chomps down hard on themes of female loneliness, aspirations and lost opportunities in a world of male violence. It may also be the most romantic shark movie ever made!” –

“Gillies’s script asks compelling questions about the lengths parents will go to in order to protect their child but cementing together two genres is a difficult task and it’s one that doesn’t entirely work due to the screenplay’s shaky foundation.” –
