Juror #2 (2024)

★★★1/2 It may be simple and understated but putting together this morally ambiguous courtroom drama is an impressive feat for the 94-year-old Clint Eastwood

Anora (2024)

★★★★ Mikey Madison is electric as the titular brassy, exotic dancer in Sean Baker's surprisingly farcical Palme d'Or winning romantic drama

Smile 2 (2024)

★★★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"

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

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
