★★★★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
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
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
