★★★1/2 The long-running Kaiju series once again unleashes breath-taking spectacle and a gritty, post-war storyline, yet minor pacing stumbles and a diminished emotional core keep it from reaching the heights of its predecessor.
★★★1/2 Robert Pattinson's fascinatingly unhinged performance as Chris Hansen anchors this dark satire, which, even without a clear narrative focus, boldly probes the blurring lines between justice and media pageantry.
★★★ This effectively grisly body horror breathes new life into the usual comic book offerings, but despite a solid lead performance, clunky dialogue and unconvincing character arcs result in a messy introduction for the DC villain.
★★★★1/2 This epic stop-motion fantasy from Laika is not only a profound and mature exploration of grief, loss, and war, but also stands as the beloved animation studio's most ambitious and visually mesmerising masterpiece yet.
★★★★1/2 Julianne Moore's tour-de-force performance transforms a meek housewife into an outrageously committed method actor in Jesse Eisenberg's riotously absurd, razor-sharp tribute to the world of community theatre.
★★★★ McDonagh once again explores regret and morality in this dark but hilarious period caper, which, despite re-treading his past works, remains fresh thanks to its geopolitical backdrop and a transcendent performance from Malkovich.
★★★1/2 Tom Cruise leads an undeniably ambitious satire, where inventive production design and standout performances keep things lively, even as strange creative choices and a puzzling framing device leave the social and political themes falling short of the mark.
★★★1/2 Na Hong-jin's epic creature feature delivers some of the most electrifying cinema you will experience this year, though its relentless action and breath-taking cinematography are undercut by a bloated runtime and a wandering narrative.
★★★★ Zach Cregger plunges us into a blood-soaked survival horror that captures the pulse-pounding tension, atmosphere, and gameplay mechanics of "Resident Evil", delivering the most electrifying video game adaptation to ever to hit the big screen.
★★★★ Andrew Scott captivates as a meteorologist whose life-saving forecasts turn the tide of fate in this riveting World War II drama, injecting fresh energy into one of the most dramatised chapters in military history.
