Film Reviews
The Upside is occasionally funny and charming, but mostly wastes the talent of those involved, becoming a lackluster remake of the French film.
Backtrace is too ridiculous and underwritten to be a full-fledged crime thriller and too self-serious to be an enjoyable B-movie.
Rotoscoping hasn’t really been used in this way before. True, this feature from German-Iranian animator…
Much like the eponymous letters, The Aspern Papers is not worth divulging the contents of and would be better off remaining a secret.
It’s undeniably flawed, but considering its mindbogglingly low £2,000 budget, The Bastard Sword is an impressive achievement.
Storm Boy, an adaptation of a beloved 70’s Australian children’s book, succumbs to the powers of its own nostalgia.
The Pinch is occasionally funny, occasionally violent, and occasionally surprising, which makes for a just about passable watch.
Lukas Dhont’s directorial debut, Girl, is one of the year’s most irresponsible films, and could have a negative impact on younger trans viewers.
All the Devil’s Men is a montage of cheap jokes and even cheaper action sequences, offering nothing new to the espionage genre.
More so than the previous feature adaptation, Watership Down is a bold allegorical tale that is best kept from the eyes of younger viewers.
For viewers tired of the gloom and doom of most superhero TV series, Marvel’s Runaways is more than worth escaping to.

While not quite as offensive as Gotti, Speed Kills is just as disposable, with Travolta yet again starring in an incompetent and unimaginative feature.
Individually, scene to scene, Second Act has its highlights. But as a whole, the film simultaneously works and doesn’t work – the epitome of a mixed bag.
