Noelle
Noelle is an unsatisfying Christmas concoction made up almost entirely of pieces from other better holiday films
Amazing Grace
Provides a stunning portrait and insight into this deeply moving and extraordinary experience of faith and culture
His Dark Materials - Episode 1: Lyra's Jordan + Episode 2: The Idea of the North
His Dark Materials, in its first few hours, is a slow and adequate start to an ambitious new series for those who adore the fantasy genre
Ai-naki Mori de Sakebe (The Forest of Love)
Sono, along with editor Takayuki Masuda, can't quite find a balance between necessity and self-indulgence, ultimately plaguing this feature as a nonsensical collection of thoughts and ideas rather than a strong indication of conviction.
Watchmen - Episode 5: Little Fear of Lightning
Signals the half-way point in Damon Lindelof's Watchmen series and while the show still doesn't do a great deal to impress, it undoubtedly switches the pace to a more appealing and engaging story to what the viewer has seen so far
Jojo Rabbit
Jojo Rabbit is a visually beautiful, heartfelt and poignant look at the innocent casualties of war on three fronts: the manipulated, the freedom fighter and the victim. All crafted in an entertaining, comedic sensibility that has no restraint yet against all the odds curates a magically layered and dynamic feature
Fight Club - 20th Anniversary
The film remains a modern masterpiece and classic. A defining legacy that is still felt in recent times with it being brought back to cinemas for anniversary screenings and genre seasons and a passionate fanbase still lining up for more
Earthquake Bird
Those who manage to break through the boredom barrier of Earthquake Bird’s slow narrative will thoroughly enjoy the fantastic cinematography on offer as well as the performances from Vikander and Keough
Late Night
Late Night has a dazzling and effective provocation that surges in such a powerfully poignant manifestation of themes that surround acceptance
See - Season 1 - EP1: Godflame + EP2: Message in a Bottle + EP3: Fresh Blood
The first three episodes of See that Apple TV+ have launched is enough to build this world and characters correctly and for the time being; they are interesting enough to suffice
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
