4/5
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Simon Miraudo It often makes the obvious joke and too often makes the obvious point, but it's so dark and odd and earnestly ambitious that I simply had to give it up.

3.5/5
Project Hail Mary (2026) Simon Miraudo There's something therapeutic about this gentle form of 'troubleshooting cinema', where in the end, the only tension is whether the film will end before it overstays its welcome.

4.5/5
The Plague (2025) Simon Miraudo A waking nightmare that plays on sense memory (of past cinema, and our own pubescence) to produce a wildly visceral reaction. And yet it's also surprisingly empathetic look at bullying and the physiological toll of being a pariah.

GOAT (2026) Simon Miraudo A beautifully animated if oddly serious and straight-ahead sports flick for kids.

4.5/5
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Simon Miraudo A magic trick of a movie that reminds you friendship is beautiful, permits are for cowards, and nostalgia for 2008 is an absolute minefield.

3.5/5
Pillion (2025) Simon Miraudo A prickly BDSM romcom that deftly navigates the nuances of a domestic dom-sub dynamic without kink-shaming.

4/5
The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Simon Miraudo The Voice of Hind Rajab reminds you that even in the safe haven of the call centre, even for us across the world, you are not spared the psychologically horror of 'knowing'.

3.5/5
We Bury the Dead (2024) Simon Miraudo A peculiar, singular and compelling take on the zombie genre that draws incredible tension from the lingering question: If not brains, what do the dead want from us? And what do they take from us, re-animated or not?

4/5
Saipan (2025) Simon Miraudo A fantastic climax to a ripping sports yarn about the mental game that's won and lost before you ever touch a football.

4/5
Mother of Flies (2025) Simon Miraudo With their witchy, curiously funny and often grotesque flicks, the Adams Family are making the only home movies I ever want to see.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Blue Moon (2025) Simon Miraudo Blue Moon adds a melancholy wrinkle to Richard Linklater's subset of hangout movies, elevated by Ethan Hawke's fantastic (and only briefly interrupted) film-length monologue as Lorenz Hart.

Sound of Falling (2025) Simon Miraudo In the unnerving Sound of Falling, you are the ghost.

The Rip (2026) Simon Miraudo I miss (the first half hour of) movies like this.

3.5/5
Hamnet (2025) Simon Miraudo A lush and lived-in production, and some very good performers help build towards an almost ecstatic climax.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
5/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Simon Miraudo Enormous and outrageous American saga about how weird, sad, ceaseless and exploitative it is to pursue an ideal of exceptionalism that only ever makes you king of your own cavernous existence.

4.5/5
No Other Choice (2025) Simon Miraudo Yet another deliciously twisted, dizzyingly inventive and unforgivingly pointed treat from the masterful Director Park, working with perhaps his best ensemble to date.

2/5
Sirāt (2025) Simon Miraudo An empty movie, signifying nothing, that at first appears to be a worse version of Paul Schrader's Hardcore before ending up a bad version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

4/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Simon Miraudo Always cool to see telekinetic space squids burst out of the water and spear techno-colonisers on their speedboats.
Posted Dec 19, 2025  Edit critic review
5/5
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Simon Miraudo If this is more accessible than anything he's done before, it's not because it's conventional: it's because it reveals something dark, terrible and universal, waiting deep within us all.

4/5
Sentimental Value (2025) Simon Miraudo You don't have to be an actor to survive this family, but it helps.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Simon Miraudo Not as deliciously fun to unravel (and maybe not intended to be) but definitely the most philosophically interesting of the series so far. Less concerned with fingering the culprit, and more interested in the question: Can they be saved?
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Lurker (2025) Simon Miraudo Creepy and cringe-inducing, Lurker stays grounded, even though a little hysteria wouldn't have gone astray.
Posted Nov 21, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Running Man (2025) Simon Miraudo Technically proficient, with a charming cast and a tangible sense of place through excellent production design. But we don't evaluate films with a Marking Key, and it's the intangibles like tone, shape and verve that keep this from really singing.

4/5
Cloud (2024) Simon Miraudo You don't just watch a Kiyoshi Kurosawa film. You willingly opt-in to adding new nightmare triggers.
Posted Nov 14, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Dragonfly (2025) Simon Miraudo A well-acted and involving film about the tattered social safety net, which sees director Paul Andrew Williams working again in the realm of horror, or at least, the realm of the horrible.
Posted Nov 07, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Familiar Touch (2024) Simon Miraudo Delicate and dance-like, tactile and sensual, Familiar Touch is an entrancing look at old age, sure, but also the pleasures of rhythm, routine and sharing personal space.

4/5
Twinless (2025) Simon Miraudo A strangely funny, emotionally involving and thrillingly sinister stew full of fantastic surprises, one of which is the breadth of Dylan O'Brien's range.

4/5
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Simon Miraudo A well-made thriller designed to make your knees wobble from two hours of cinematic edging.
Posted Oct 10, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Smashing Machine (2025) Simon Miraudo Less like Uncut Gems and more like Lenny Cooke, this melancholy fight film loses steam in the second half but is elevated by an uncommonly sensitive Dwayne Johnson.

4.5/5
V/H/S Halloween (2025) Simon Miraudo They finally did it. You maniacs, you made a perfect V/H/S anthology.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
5/5
One Battle After Another (2025) Simon Miraudo It may contain the single best movie moment of 2025, and it's a jittery, forced-perspective-car-chase-jump-scare seemingly shot from a helicopter. People should cheer.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Simon Miraudo A fascinating formal experiment, provided the experiment was to hide 20 minutes of a really vibrant and exciting movie inside an otherwise humiliatingly bad one.
Posted Sep 19, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Bad Guys 2 (2025) Simon Miraudo A charming, funny and compelling-enough (for kids) Mission: Impossible riff that also, inexplicably, has one of the most graphic open-mouth kisses ever committed to screen.

4/5
Lesbian Space Princess (2025) Simon Miraudo A dizzying and delightful animated comedy that's both exactly what it says on the tin, and also much more.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Splitsville (2025) Simon Miraudo A very funny, brute force satire about the fact there's no such thing as an evolved person.

Sorry, Baby (2025) Simon Miraudo A perfectly pitched drama from Eva Victor, who makes the most interesting choice at every turn.

The Naked Gun (2025) Simon Miraudo I laughed so hard I had to take a knee in the cinema.

3.5/5
The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) Simon Miraudo An amiable and 'ambient' comedy that warms the heart like a hot cuppa.

Future Council (2024) Simon Miraudo Very satisfying to watch these kids firmly plant their feet up the backsides of the obfuscating adults.

3/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Simon Miraudo Two things can be true: This is the best Marvel movie in years, and it deserves a maximum of three stars.

Friendship (2024) Simon Miraudo Absolutely psychotic.

Superman (2025) Simon Miraudo Movies are usually good when they're actually about something.
Posted Jul 11, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Pavements (2024) Simon Miraudo As idiosyncratic and ironic as the band, Pavement has found the perfect prickly partner in Alex Ross Perry.
Posted Jul 04, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Shrouds (2024) Simon Miraudo Cronenberg's most magnetic film in years: a brazenly personal (and often funny) admission that grief is horniness: an intense corporeal attraction to the dead. And both grief and horniness are love too. For him, that's actually kinda sweet.
Posted Jul 04, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
A Nice Indian Boy (2024) Simon Miraudo A sweet, gentle and often very funny rom-com with two hugely appealing leads and a hilarious turn from stand-up Zarna Garg.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
F1 The Movie (2025) Simon Miraudo I think it's a problem that Brad Pitt comes fourth in a ranking of this film's characters by charisma. But every problem has a solution, and F1's is Kerry Condon.

3.5/5
Dangerous Animals (2025) Simon Miraudo Jai Courtney has finally locked into what makes him most compelling and entertaining on screen: an amiable larrikinism that he can finely calibrate for comedy, heartwarming family films or, here, unhinged horror.
Posted Jun 13, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Mountainhead (2025) Simon Miraudo An enjoyably sick experience, watching four titans of tech hilariously mangle the English language and plot the world's end while still falling afoul of petty interpersonal rivalries.

2.5/5
Ballerina (2025) Simon Miraudo John Wick is opera. This is karaoke.

4/5
Bring Her Back (2025) Simon Miraudo Sally Hawkins shreds a loopy, dippy archetype and restitches it into an enervating movie monster, aided by three excellent young performers, in the Philippous' seriously impressive (and devastatingly sad) flick.
