Melania (2026) 8% 1/5 EDIT “To call "Melania" vapid would do a disservice to the plumes of florid vape smoke that linger around British teenagers. ” – Independent (UK) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Grenfell: Uncovered (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “This dynamic -- the film is more interested in apportioning blame than it is in memorialising the victims -- makes it feel raw, angry and urgent.” – Independent (UK) Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Mountainhead (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “It takes a decent chunk of its 109-minute runtime to warm-up, and there will be some for whom it is too merciless, but Mountainhead is an exquisite modern satire. ” – Independent (UK) May 27, 2025 Full Review NBC's Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony in IMAX (2024) 43% 2/5 EDIT “Too much filler, too little killer. And whoever decided to predicate the visual success of the ceremony on the Parisian weather displayed either intense hubris or a baffling lack of guile. ” – Independent (UK) Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Men Up (2023) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Optimum stiffness, Men Up seems to say, requires not just a pill but an open mind. The result is a sweet, if trivial, story of men standing firm in the face of adversity -- something that should warm all but the stoniest of cockles.” – Independent (UK) Jan 2, 2024 Full Review Wham! (2023) 89% 2/5 EDIT “Wham! inadvertently becomes a music documentary without much interest in music. Like the band themselves, this is a breezy watch, but if there's profundity beneath the perms and the cut-offs, the film struggles to find it.” – Independent (UK) Jul 13, 2023 Full Review Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (2023) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Selective Outrage has little emotional insight. And, save for a few moments of nervous tension, the live broadcast is as pre-heated as, well, airplane food.” – Independent (UK) Mar 6, 2023 Full Review The Menu (2022) 88% 4/5 EDIT “If the film’s raison d’etre is to show up the vapidity of modern art, then it produces no argument better than itself. Dumb but delicious, The Menu is a feast for the senses, if not the brain.” – Independent (UK) Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Ricky Gervais: SuperNature (2022) 31% 2/5 EDIT “The problem with SuperNature, as with much comedy these days, progressive or irreverent, is that it finds itself sucked into the self-referential death spiral of the culture wars. ” – Independent (UK) May 25, 2022 Full Review Greed (2019) 50% 2/5 EDIT “As Gordon Gekko might've been heard to whisper after a screening... Greed is not good.” – CineVue Oct 9, 2019 Full Review Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) 98% 3/5 EDIT “It is clearly intended as awards bait for its star, but is also perfectly satisfying as a slow-burn crowd-pleaser” – CineVue May 23, 2019 Full Review Mid90s (2018) 81% 2/5 EDIT “It is almost the definition of a minor film: low on plot, low on urgency, held together by little more than a sense of feeling and its A-list director.” – CineVue Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Patema Inverted (2013) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Patema Inverted has children in its lead roles but, putting that aside, it's a relatively standard science fiction movie.” – CineVue Mar 21, 2019 Full Review You & Me Forever (2012) 83% 3/5 EDIT “It's a fairly full-on look at the teenage desire for freedom, and is at its very best when it's challenging preconceptions headlong, on an intensely intimate level.” – CineVue Mar 20, 2019 Full Review Mary Queen of Scots (2018) 62% 2/5 EDIT “It's more disappointing than bad. A great cast and an interesting period of history wasted on a sombre muddle that wants to have both the gravity of Shakespeare and a fresh, dynamic perspective.” – CineVue Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) 36% 3/5 EDIT “There is something quite charming about the construction of Rowling's jokes, her touch for relationships, that feels organic and unexpected.” – CineVue Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Drive (2011) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Drive's rambling, at times confused narrative is electrified every so often by the kind of intense performance that even the Scorsese-directed Robert De Niro would be proud, courtesy of Gosling.” – CineVue Dec 1, 2018 Full Review Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 97% 3/5 EDIT “A feel-good sensation, because its subject was a feel-good sensation. There are few documentaries that feel like wholesome family films but this is one. Overly reverential perhaps, but... an uncynical tonic for a very cynical age.” – CineVue Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Super 8 (2011) 81% 3/5 EDIT “The trouble is that the answer awaiting at the end of Super 8 simply isn't very satisfying. But don't let that put you off, because the journey to get to this disappointment is a rewarding one.” – CineVue Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Ocean's 8 (2018) 69% 3/5 EDIT “A return, as best it can, to the low-stakes whimsy of the first movie.” – CineVue Jun 18, 2018 Full Review Book Club (2018) 54% 4/5 EDIT “Book Club is the best possible film that could have been made. It is utterly edgeless, without a real villain or character flaw in sight, but it is desperately sweet and, at times, much more naturalistic than most of its genre.” – CineVue Jun 9, 2018 Full Review On Chesil Beach (2018) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Put simply, the adaptation doesn't work and the movie is instantly forgettable.” – CineVue May 21, 2018 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Theron is predictably terrific, throwing herself into the central role with a commitment that has become her trademark. She reads the tragic darkness of Cody's script with a naturalism that smooths out its occasional, rather arch, edges.” – CineVue May 11, 2018 Full Review Blumhouse's Truth or Dare (2018) 16% 2/5 EDIT “Its antecedents are less from the Wes Craven school of putting sexy young folk in tremendous danger, and more from the Ryan Murphy kindergarten of appealing to mainstream audiences who don't actually want to be frightened.” – CineVue Apr 13, 2018 Full Review
