Flow (2024)

★★★★1/2 This reflective journey of survival and friendship is beautifully realised thanks some innovative animation and truly astonishing visuals

Nosferatu (2024)

★★★★1/2 Robert Eggers' gothic fever dream marvellously revives the historic piece of German Expressionism by recapturing its unsettling atmosphere and constant sense of dread

Sing Sing (2024)

★★★★ It may not have had the emotional impact I was expecting but this heart-warming true story is an undeniably inspirational exploration of art and redemption

Conclave (2024)

★★★★1/2 Edward Berger's gripping Vatican-based thriller is both dramatically and philosophically satisfying in its depiction of the political inner workings of the Catholic church

Moana 2 (2024)

★★★1/2 The visually stunning Disney sequel manages to recapture the beauty of its Polynesian setting but suffers from re-treading familiar emotional beats as well as lacking a notable villain

Wicked (2024)

★★★★ The long running Broadway production finally makes its cinematic debut in fittingly wonderful fashion with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande providing plenty of on-screen magic

Gladiator II (2024)

★★★ While I was somewhat entertained by the bombastic action set pieces, Ridley Scott's long-awaited sequel lacks the emotional weight that made the first film so iconic
