★★★ Emily Blunt shines in Spielberg's latest science fiction spectacle. Yet, for all its grand ideas, the film stumbles, lacking a clear narrative thread, sprawling into an overstuffed, meandering journey that disappointingly often slips into tedium.
★★★ This might just be the most uninspired Star Wars theatrical outing yet, shuffling a flimsy script from scene to scene with the rhythm of a forgettable TV episode. Still, I found myself unexpectedly charmed by the titular duo.
★★★★ With Adam Scott's sceptical fish-out-of-water protagonist occupying a spooky Irish hotel room, Damian McCarthy's spine-tingling folk horror conjures up the scares and atmosphere reminiscent of a classic Hammer production.
★★★★1/2 In this feature-length follow-up to the cult web series, the Toronto due perfects guerrilla filmmaking, slyly weaving a witty time-travel tale with never-seen-before footage to create a wildly entertaining and hilarious adventure.
★★ With its whirlwind pace and a treasure trove of Nintendo easter eggs, this sequel is sure to dazzle younger fans, yet it never quite crafts the epic, galaxy-wide adventure that made the original game legendary.
★★★1/2 Though it may not match its predecessor's originality and shock value, this fun comedy-horror sequel cranks up the gore and lore as our blood-soaked bride battles yet another sinister clan of wealthy cultists.
★★★★ Brimming with wit and warmth, this visually stunning and hilarious adaptation of Andy weir's epic space odyssey soars through the cosmos on the irresistible charisma and magnetic energy of Ryan Gosling.
Final 98th Oscars Predictions
★★★1/2 Charli XCX commands the screen as she playfully skewers her own "brat movement" and the quirks of modern pop culture, yet despite its flair and humour, this music mockumentary never quite lands its sharpest blows.
★★★ This bananas creature feature may be instantly forgettable, but there is undeniable fun in watching a frenzied chimpanzee tear through his hapless victims with ruthless and bloody efficiency.
