★★★ 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
Joker: Folie a Deux (2024)
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
Rebel Ridge (2024)
★★★★ Grounded by a star-making performance by Aaron Pierre, Jeremy Saulnier's slow burn indictment of corrupt small town America is an intelligent and tense action thriller.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
★★★ After an soulless opening, Tim Burton's long awaited "Beetlejuice" sequel springs back from the dead with a much improved second half loaded with fittingly ghoulish gags.
Blink Twice (2024)
★★★★1/2 Zoë Kravitz's bold and provocative debut feature is a glossy satire that turns gender politics into a darkly comedic and seriously effective thriller
Alien: Romulus (2024)
★★★★ Fede Álvarez's atmospheric "Alien" revamp manages to pay homage to every entry in the beloved horror franchise, whilst injected some fresh scares and ideas of its own.
Trap (2024)
★★1/2 Once highly touted, the prolific M. Night Shyamalan continues to frustrate as he once again fails to deliver on his latest original and initially promising story.
Kneecap (2024)
★★★★ The provocative Irish language rap group "Kneecap" have their origins explored in this fittingly hilariously and unrestrained tale of cultural preservation and freedom of speech
