The Good Liar
While A Good Liar won't set the world on fire, it does craft a sly and prickly sentiment with delightful results
Ben-Hur - 60th Anniversary
Sixty years prior to today on November 18, 1959, cinema history was made with the release of the William Wyler directed and Charles Heston starring seminal-classic, Ben-Hur.
Honey Boy
a poignant exploration of trauma, abuse, and troubled parental relationships that feels both intensely personal and wholly unique to the mind of Shia LaBeouf in his recent career resurgence
Ford v Ferrari (Le Mans '66)
A furious and ferociously intense romp of an adrenaline-fuelled adventure, boasting a captivating story and two compelling performances from Christian Bale and Matt Damon as Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby, respectively
Meeting Gorbachev
Another stellar entry in the iconic filmmaker’s ever-growing filmography with a fascinating and informative insight into the trials and tribulations of Mikhail Gorbachev
Tenki no ko (Weathering with You)
Director and visual auteur Makoto Shinkai returns with Weathering with You, a beautiful tale of adolescent confusion and accepting one's responsibilities in the same level of jaw-dropping animation seen in his previous features
Lady and the Tramp
A dull and ultra-ordinarily flat venture that can not manage to convict on a sequence of substantial entertainment value throughout its one-hundred-minute running time
Bala
If this film does anything of merit, it is that it makes even the most confident-deprived person love themselves and, in an age of social media, that is all that matters.
Primal
Primal on paper is so crazy and nuts it should never work and, for the most part, it lives up to that expectation
The Laundromat
The Laundromat had all the potential in the world to be a truly phenomenal and explosive film, a way to tackle the complex themes of corrupt big businesses and tax evasion head-on, but what is created is less than the sum of its parts
Little Monsters
Brilliantly plays around with tone and the genre conventions of comedy and horror to a profoundly entertaining and effective degree
Dolor y gloria (Pain & Glory)
One of the most personal and intimate films of the year; it entrances audiences and is one of Almodóvar’s best in a glowing and ever-evolving filmography from the Spanish icon.
Last Christmas
Last Christmas is messy, incoherent and incapable of juggling its many ideas but is saved by its two extremely talented leads who give the film a beating heart
The Aeronauts
Tom Harper's feature is another emotionally-induced drama for the pair of both Redmayne and Jones, not only showcasing the pairs outstanding acting talents but sufficing as an intensely immersive and engaging feature
Midway
The visual prowess and scale are genuinely phenomenal to see on the big screen.
Harriet
Harriet is a competent film that does a decent enough job at looking at the story of Harriet Tubman but seriously hurts itself with some crazed filmmaking decisions.
Playing with Fire
Playing With Fire is cute and lighthearted — families will undoubtedly enjoy it — but it is destined to be forgotten in a genre filled with carbon-copy features that add just a bit more weight and layers.
Midsommar: Directors Cut
A more prolonged, more personal and layered horror that puts Aster — on his sophomore effort — in a category of greats within the genre.
The Peanut Butter Falcon
The directorial debut of Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz’s The Peanut Butter Falcon is a captivating and poignant portrayal of both acceptance and identity,
Fractured
A lifeless entity that offers little in anticipation and conviction.
