The Last Showgirl (2024)

★★★★ Gia Coppola's beautifully understated homage to the Las Vegas working class sees Pamela Anderson deliver a career best performance in a rare, but refreshing, dramatic role

8

The Monkey (2025)

★★★1/2 Osgood Perkins abandons the serious tone of the Stephen King short story in favour of a more comedic and off-kilter approach that boasts some unforgettably excessive deaths

9

Nickel Boys (2024)

★★★★ RaMell Ross' dauntless creative approach to adapting the Pulitzer Prize winning novel achieves a devastating level of immersion never before seen when exploring African-American trauma

13

Heart Eyes (2025)

★★★ Without breaking new ground in the genre, this Valentine's Day slasher proves to be an entertaining date night movie that effortlessly combines gory kills with cheesy rom-com clichés

2

Wolf Man (2025)

★★★ Leigh Whannell's psychological interpretation of the classic movie monster provides a fresh perspective, but ultimately falls short due to a lack of scares and originality

2

September 5 (2024)

★★★★ By shifting perspective to the journalists who frantically covered the 1972 Munich Massacre, "September 5" manages to capture the dedication and ethical ambiguity of those who broadcasted the tragedy to the rest of the world

2

The Brutalist (2024)

★★★★1/2 Adrien Brody delivers a soul-crushing performance as a struggling Hungarian immigrant in Brady Corbet's powerfully brutal dissection of the American Dream

9

Companion (2025)

★★★★1/2 This hilariously dark and unpredictable feminist thriller will keep you guessing 'til the very end despite revealing its biggest twist way too early

7

Flight Risk (2025)

★★ Despite a promising setup, not even a scene-chewing, villainous turn from Mark Wahlberg can help get Mel Gibson's tonally incoherent airborne thriller off the ground
