Reviews

Restore Point

Sci-fi detective story with worldbuilding more impressive than its narrative ambition

The Origin of Evil

Entertaining cuckoo in the nest thriller ultimately plays it a little safe

Late Night With The Devil

David Dastmalchian delights in this devilish late night TV horror

All Souls

Slightly generic but enjoyably tense single-night thriller

Dune: Part Two

A staggering spectacle of space, sand and slaughter

The New Boy

Australian dreamlike drama fails to contend with the topics it sets itself

Monster

Hirokazu Kore-eda returns with a fascinating, multi-layered approach to a seemingly simple story

Lisa Frankenstein

Delightfully weird spin on a classic tale

Lovely, Dark, and Deep

Creative horror can’t see the forest for the trees.

The Hug and Pint

DeWolff

Bewildering Dutch psychedelic rock band leave the crowd howling for more

Safari Detective

Warm-hearted family adventure with a hint of a harder edge

Spaceman

The most disappointing Spaceman since Babylon Zoo

A Million Days

Occasionally clunky but ultimately rewarding high-concept sci-fi chamber piece

Damsel

A girl vs. dragon action fantasy that outstays its welcome almost immediately

Origin

A well intentioned but messy evocation of the writing process

The Invisible Fight

Blissfully silly but way too long multi-genre mash-up

Banel & Adama

Impressive, impressionistic, and haunting character study with no easy answers

Drift

A tale of trauma and brutality told with restraint, delicacy, and the potential for hope

C Turtle
Expensive Thrills

A blistering debut effort from a chaotic group that deserve your attention

Disco Boy

Gorgeous and dreamlike drama sees two men with differing ideas of freedom be forever changed through one violent moment
