Baby Invasion (2025)

★★★ The latest project by Harmony Korine is more of an attack on the senses than a narrative feature, as the experimental filmmaker comments on the blurred lines between video games and real life.

The Electric State (2025)

★★1/2 The latest big-budget release from Netflix fails to capitalise on its promising dystopian premise. Instead it lumbers along without really exploring its central themes surrounding humanity and our reliance on technology.

Mickey 17 (2025)

★★★★ This zany sci-fi satire from Bon Joon-ho may prove to be too wacky for some, but the visionary Korean filmmaker's ability to seamlessly blend genres from scene-to-scene remains unrivalled.

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

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

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

A Complete Unknown (2024)

★★★★ James Mangold's unexpectedly enjoyable Bob Dylan biopic is brimming with captivating musical sequences, with a freewheelin' Timothee Chalamet inhabiting the legendary folk singer

A Real Pain (2024)

★★★★1/2 Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin are excellent as two emotionally conflicted cousins in this surprisingly powerful yet hilarious dramedy

Flow (2024)

★★★★1/2 This reflective journey of survival and friendship is beautifully realised thanks some innovative animation and truly astonishing visuals

Nosferatu (2024)

★★★★1/2 Robert Eggers' gothic fever dream marvellously revives the historic piece of German Expressionism by recapturing its unsettling atmosphere and constant sense of dread
