4	Saipan (2025)	Cara O'Doherty	Saipan is a film that is by turns funny, highly entertaining, emotional, and utterly compelling, with superb performances from Coogan and our own Hardwicke. Posted Mar 22, 2026 Edit critic review
5	Hamnet (2025)	Cara O'Doherty	Buckley's performance is on another level. It is a raw, visceral performance: one to be watched, admired, and studied. A devastatingly beautiful 5-star film, 2026’s cinematic standard has just been set. Posted Mar 22, 2026 Edit critic review
3	28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)	Cara O'Doherty	While it is never predictable and has some terrific performances, particularly by Fiennes, the violence is nasty. In a world full of monsters, the idea of humans being the bigger monster is hard to fathom. Can we not just go back to zombies eating people? Posted Mar 22, 2026 Edit critic review
4	Wuthering Heights (2026)	Cara O'Doherty	The film is pulsating, slightly savage, wildly sexy, and full of torment - just as Brontë intended it to be. Fennell is the first filmmaker to truly capture this. Some will complain. I say all hail this bold and delicious adaptation. Posted Mar 22, 2026 Edit critic review
4 Stars	The Last Journey (2024)	Cara O'Doherty	Tender, funny, and deeply moving - if you don’t cry watching this, you don’t have a heart. Posted Jul 11, 2025 Edit critic review
Four Stars	Superman (2025)	Cara O'Doherty	Gunn’s dedication to the comics means that he has made a film that features lighter moments, leans into some goofiness, but also bursts with warmth and heart, just like Superman should. Posted Jul 11, 2025 Edit critic review
5/5	Sinners (2025)	Cara O'Doherty	Dynamic and sexy, Sinners is a genre-defying masterpiece that pulsates with energy and life and pitch perfect performances. More please. Five stars Posted May 04, 2025 Edit critic review
