    Drive-Away Dolls Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Drive-Away Dolls Movie Review
    Shooting for Bottoms meets Pulp Fiction, this cheap, tonally awry, distinctly un-funny, try-hard, sack-full-of-dildos romp utterly misfires, clearly coming from the wrong solo Coen Brother, and both awkwardly and shamelessly wasting the talents of a couple of good actresses.

    Imaginary Movie Review

    by Mark Costello
    Imaginary Movie Review
    The mainstream horror rut continues as Blumhouse follows up its last dull, dreary, multiplex horror with… another dull, dreary, multiplex horror. Who’d have imagined that?

    The Beekeeper Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    The Beekeeper Movie Review
    Nuts and bolts Statham doing what he does best; it's trashy, it's hilariously OTT, but it's also a frequently viscerally satisfying piece of revenge action carnage. UPDATE - NOW ON SKY/NOW TV

    American Fiction Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    American Fiction Movie Review
    Sharply witty and sublimely satirical, and providing a much-deserved, tour-de-force lead for the excellent Jeffrey Wright, American Fiction is definitely worth catching whilst it's still on the Big Screen. UPDATE - Now on Amazon Prime UK.

    Napoleon Movie Review

    by Tom Davies
    Napoleon Movie Review
    At least avoiding the lowest-hanging fruit, Ridley Scott’s breathtaking command of scenes of historical warfare distract from but don’t negate the core problem with the depiction of the French emperor: that he is ultimately unknowable. UPDATE: Available now on AppleTV+

    The Holdovers Movie Review
    Commanded by a fabulously curmudgeonly performance by Paul Giamatti, his reunion with writer/director Alexander "Sideways" Payne makes for a surprisingly uplifting festive feast.

    Mean Girls (2024) Movie Review
    The film adaptation of the musical adaptation of the non-fiction book adaptation…who knew that being Mean was so lucrative? Thank god Tina Fey did, as her third go-round with the bitchy queen bees of North Shore High remains as viperous and hilarious as it was twenty years ago…

    Killers of the Flower Moon Movie Review
    One of Scorsese’s most expansive, both in its visuals and perspectives, Killers of the Flower Moon is a rare film. It’s an example of an old master reflecting on his own limitations and then pushing back against them - NOW AVAILABLE ON APPLE TV.

    Maestro (Netflix) Movie Review
    Bradley Cooper's sophomore symphony doesn't hit the raw, accomplished notes of A Star is Born, but is an impressively staged biopic nonetheless, with committed lead performances.

    Godzilla Minus One Movie Review

    by Tom Davies
    Godzilla Minus One Movie Review
    When we got arguably the best entry in the series with Shin Godzilla it was hard to accept any other version of the monster would be as thrilling or as surprising. That its immediate live action successor is a rival to those highs makes Yamazaki Takashi’s Godzilla Minus One a near miracle.

    May December (Sky) Movie Review
    Intricately layered and audaciously framed, Todd Haynes' Natalie Portman / Julianne Moore psychodrama may be a little too ambitiously avant garde for its own good.

    Jessica Yu's Fox/Hulu/Disney/Star comedy, Quiz Lady, enjoys a clever pairing of Awkwafina's trademark grumpy old woman schtick with an utterly against-type, deliciously OTT Sandra Oh.

    Fingernails (Apple TV+) Movie Review
    Christos Nikou's English-language directorial debut is an intriguing little sci-fi idea never quite done justice by its otherwise conventional romantic drama narrative, despite committed performances from its leads.

    Blackberry Movie Review
    What if this wasn’t a story about the heroic rise and tragic fall of the most popular mobile phone? What if this was a group of business illiterates serially failing upwards and, rather than an inspiration, we’re purely in it for the schadenfreude. That…could work.

    Fair Play (Netflix) Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Fair Play (Netflix) Movie Review
    Continuing a hell of a strong streak of movies on Netflix, Fair Play is another tremendous effort - and another impressive directorial debut - somewhat surprisingly delivering palpably intense thrills from what is, essentially, a sexually-fuelled exploration of cutthroat hedge management and gender politics.

    Reptile (Netflix) Movie Review
    Grant Singer's directorial debut will certainly garner him some well-earned attention, affording choice leading roles for Benicio del Toro and Alicia Silverstone, and unspooling a dark and twisty crime drama with surprising confidence.

    The Dive Movie Review
    Late to the party, we take a dive into a suitably nautical companion-piece to the similarly unbearably tense Fall, finding that this underwater two-hander at least manages to stick its landing.
