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

Sing Sing (2024)

★★★★ It may not have had the emotional impact I was expecting but this heart-warming true story is an undeniably inspirational exploration of art and redemption

Conclave (2024)

★★★★1/2 Edward Berger's gripping Vatican-based thriller is both dramatically and philosophically satisfying in its depiction of the political inner workings of the Catholic church

Nightbitch (2024)

★★★★ Amy Adams is excellent as an exhausted stay-at-home mother who slowly starts to turn into a dog in Marielle Heller's hilariously bonkers dark comedy

Wicked (2024)

★★★★ The long running Broadway production finally makes its cinematic debut in fittingly wonderful fashion with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande providing plenty of on-screen magic

Gladiator II (2024)

★★★ While I was somewhat entertained by the bombastic action set pieces, Ridley Scott's long-awaited sequel lacks the emotional weight that made the first film so iconic

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
