Conclave Review
Conclave is shaping up to be one of the strongest movies of this year! We caught an early screening of it, so check out our review before it hits cinemas this January!
Die In A Gunfight
If this pops up on Netflix and autoplay cues it up, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. But this isn’t a film to seek out.
PIG
No rage here - Cage brings a tremendous performance to bear in a story that at once warms and breaks your heart.
Forever First Love
Serviceable but unessential viewing, Forever First Love struggles to define its place.
Joe Bell
Joe Bell does everything right in portraying grief on screen - it’s just a shame that focus is pulled from the tragedy.
Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Shang-Chi is a welcome big screen gem from Marvel, that will breed excitement for where the MCU goes post-Avengers.
Candyman
Despite not quite hitting the heights of the likes of Get Out, Candyman is cleverly executed and is a standalone piece of art that is though provoking and open to interpretation.
Reminiscence
A film you don’t need to reminisce on.
Respect
Respect delivers a potent telling of a musical legend, perfectly embodied by Hudson.
The Ice Road
The Ice Road is confusing, full of ridiculous product placement, and produce with all the zest of a lime you cut in half and left in the fridge for the next 8 weeks, but there’s an indescribable nugget of honesty and truth in it that is nevertheless endearing.
Snake Eyes
Snake Eyes is oddly better than expected.
OLD
OLD feels just that from the off, but miraculously the patina of age falls away as the story gets underway proper, and Shyamalan gets engrossed in telling an intriguing, if not overly thrilling, story.
Jungle Cruise
Jungle Cruise is overly long and has some lacklustre elements without a really iconic hero performance, but it’s a welcome return to the adventure genre.
Nine Days
Nine Days is a must-see, beautiful film.
Space Jam: A New Legacy
Space Jam: A New Legacy is disappointing. By the original for your kids instead.
Gunpowder Milkshake
Gunpowder Milkshake is an inventive, beautifully shot action film grounded in female empowerment but ultimately a hell of a lot of fun.
Black Widow
Black Widow feels like the Marvel of old. Moments of ambition are evident, and some interesting new characters take centre-stage, but for Natasha Romanoff this is a send-off that feels like too little, too late.
Fast and Furious 9
Fast and Furious 9 doesn’t reinvent the franchise wheel, but delivers exactly what you expect from the series - fast cars, an ever more unbelievable set of skills for a group of LA-based mechanics, and a bunch of gruff machismo couched in innumerable utterances of the word ‘family’.
Envoy: Shark Cull
Good idea, poor execution.
Spirit Untamed
Spirit Untamed is a great kids film in time for the school holidays.
In The Heights
In The Heights will bring you nothing but joy - a gorgeous cinematic experience that you should seek out ASAP.
