The Rule of Jenny Pen (2025)

★★★1/2 Geoffrey Rush's retired judge becomes the latest victim of John Lithgow's unhinged care home bully in this claustrophobic and upsetting New Zealand psychological chiller.

Black Bag (2025)

★★★★1/2 Human lie detector Michael Fassbender is tasked with finding a traitor within British Intelligence in this slick and sexy espionage caper from Steven Soderbergh.

A Minecraft Movie (2025)

★★ While it may appeal to the vast Minecraft fanbase, this cringey live-action adaptation is seriously lacking the creativity that has become synonymous with the record-breaking sandbox game.

Snow White (2025)

★1/2 Rachel Zegler gives it her all as the titular princess, but shoddy production values, an underwhelming love interest and a terrible Gal Gadot ultimately are the undoing of the latest Disney live-action remake.

Baby Invasion (2025)

★★★ The latest project by Harmony Korine is more of an attack on the senses than a narrative feature, as the experimental filmmaker comments on the blurred lines between video games and real life.

The Electric State (2025)

★★1/2 The latest big-budget release from Netflix fails to capitalise on its promising dystopian premise. Instead it lumbers along without really exploring its central themes surrounding humanity and our reliance on technology.
