★★★★ 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
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
The Apprentice (2024)
★★★★ Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong excel in this shocking, yet entertaining, origin story for one of the most problematic public figures in modern political history
The Wild Robot (2024)
★★★★ Heart-warming, undemanding and visual stunning, Dreamworks'"The Wild Robot" is a fitting send off for the celebrated animation studio's in-house team
It’s What’s Inside (2024)
★★★1/2 This surprisingly engaging Netflix sleeper hit is a stylish black comedy that centres around an ingenious modern take on the classic body-swap trope
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
Speak No Evil (2024)
★★★1/2 A suitably unhinged James McAvoy relishes his villainous role in this entertaining and surprisingly funny remake of the considerably darker Danish horror from 2022
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
