★★★1/2 Tom Cruise leads an undeniably ambitious satire, where inventive production design and standout performances keep things lively, even as strange creative choices and a puzzling framing device leave the social and political themes falling short of the mark.
★★★1/2 Na Hong-jin's epic creature feature delivers some of the most electrifying cinema you will experience this year, though its relentless action and breath-taking cinematography are undercut by a bloated runtime and a wandering narrative.
★★★★ Zach Cregger plunges us into a blood-soaked survival horror that captures the pulse-pounding tension, atmosphere, and gameplay mechanics of "Resident Evil", delivering the most electrifying video game adaptation to ever to hit the big screen.
★★★★ Andrew Scott captivates as a meteorologist whose life-saving forecasts turn the tide of fate in this riveting World War II drama, injecting fresh energy into one of the most dramatised chapters in military history.
★★★ Though it doesn't quite recapture the original's enchanting magic, this belated sequel delivers the cosy, seasonal delight fans of the cult 90s hit crave, with Bullock and Kidman once again lighting up the screen as the Owens sisters.
★★★1/2 Gregg Araki crafts his most inviting, laugh-out-loud film yet, as Olivia Wilde commands the screen with a fearless performance in this sharp, satirical dive into modern art and society's shifting attitudes towards sex
★★★ Ridley Scott infuses this bleak post-apocalyptic drama with visual splendour, yet rather than venturing into new realms, the legendary director merely treads familiar ground, recycling the shadows of countless dystopian properties that proceeded it
★★★ I admire Schoenbrun's sharp exploration of gender and sex tropes in horror films, and this meta-slasher dazzles with its striking visuals, yet I found myself drawn more to the eerie atmosphere and lingering ambiguity of their earlier work.
★★★★ Bursting with wily humour, timeless Looney Tunes slapstick, and a surprising amount of heart, this inventive, live-action and animation blend proves it was well worth the wait after its long time on the shelf.
★★1/2 The majority of this tired and formulaic sixth instalment in the once chilling horror franchise relies on cheap and predictable scares before finally embracing its silliness by balancing campy supernatural fun with absurd logic.
