Reviews

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Fun and Action Packed Monster Showdown

Imaginary

Another uninspired Blumhouse horror mines childhood trauma to no great effect

Eden Court

Made in Dagenham

Unequal pay fight makes excellent musical theatre

Concrete Utopia

Multi-faceted disaster movie is hugely compelling and often darky funny

chastity belt

Chastity Belt
Live Laugh Love

The Seattle band show that there can be depth in simplicity, even in advice from a motivational mug

The Sweet East

Overly arch and empty road trip provocation

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.

dewolff

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
