★★★★ 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
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)
★★★★ The eccentric inventor and his loyal canine make their long-awaited return in this warm and charming caper that sees them come face-to-face with an old foe
The Piano Lesson (2024)
★★★1/2 Boasting a remarkably talented ensemble, "The Piano Lesson" is a largely impressive debut from Malcolm Washington, although I found the narrative to be less impactful than previous Wilson adaptations
