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

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

Rebel Ridge (2024)

★★★★ Grounded by a star-making performance by Aaron Pierre, Jeremy Saulnier's slow burn indictment of corrupt small town America is an intelligent and tense action thriller.
