★★★1/2 Having been put through an emotional wringer, Naomi Scott delivers one of the most stellar modern horror performances in Parker Finn's superior sequel to the 2022 hit "Smile"
Smile 2 (2024)
The Apprentice (2024)
★★★★ Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong excel in this shocking, yet entertaining, origin story for one of the most problematic public figures in modern political history
The Wild Robot (2024)
★★★★ Heart-warming, undemanding and visual stunning, Dreamworks'"The Wild Robot" is a fitting send off for the celebrated animation studio's in-house team
It’s What’s Inside (2024)
★★★1/2 This surprisingly engaging Netflix sleeper hit is a stylish black comedy that centres around an ingenious modern take on the classic body-swap trope
V/H/S/Beyond (2024)
★★★1/2 While it still suffers from the often problematic anthological premise, V/H/S/Beyond boasts the most consistent assortment of shorts the long running franchise has produced to date
Blitz (2024)
★★★★ It may lack the nuances of his more challenging previous works but Steve McQueen still manages to deliver a captivating wartime drama that is surprisingly old-fashioned
Joker: Folie a Deux (2024)
★★★ Phoenix and Gaga give it their all in this beautifully crafted sequel, which ultimately falls down as a result of its painfully thin narrative and contentious character arcs
Megalopolis (2024)
★★ Led by a perplexing Adam Driver, Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited passion project is a slapdash, self-indulgent mess that overstuffs its tedious narrative with decades' worth of ideas
Speak No Evil (2024)
★★★1/2 A suitably unhinged James McAvoy relishes his villainous role in this entertaining and surprisingly funny remake of the considerably darker Danish horror from 2022
The Substance (2024)
★★★★ Demi Moore gives a career-best performance in Coralie Fargeat's audaciously disturbing feminist body horror - not one to watch on a full stomach
