  • Argylle (2024)
    Review preview for Argylle

    Argylle isn't a delicate or even restrained construction, thread-bare and candy-coloured to the point that if it were underwear it'd be both crotchless and edible.

    Andrew Robertson · 2 out of 5
    A reclusive author who writes espionage novels about a secret agent and a global spy syndicate realises that the plot of the new book she's writing is starting to mirror real world events, in real time.
  • As You Like It (2006)
    Review preview for As You Like It

    Much Ado About Nothing was like being given a surprise invite to a lavish summer party in Tuscany; this feels more akin to being trapped in a 'back to nature' weekend theatre workshop where the actors are having a lot more fun than you.

    Jeff Robson · 3 out of 5
    A banished duke and a young nobleman, Orlando, seek refuge in the Forest of Arden. The duke's daughter, in love with Orlando, pursues him disguised as a boy and devises a test for his love.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5
    An unlikely pair venture to the Indonesian jungle in search of gold.
  • The Help (2011)
    Review preview for The Help

    If you are willing to accept that this is an exploratory snapshot that seeks to confine itself to the times it is portraying and leave any consideration of modern-day echoes to the conscience of the viewer, this is a good story, well told.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3.5 out of 5
    An aspiring author during the civil rights movement of the 1960s decides to write a book detailing the African American Maid's point of view on the White families they work for.
  • Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
    Review preview for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

    So riddled with logic gaps, dumb character decisions and simple confusion about how we should view the entire conceit, that the actual genetic recreation of dinosaurs from 65 million years ago starts looking believable in comparison.

    Owen Van Spall · 2 out of 5
    When Owen and Claire return to Isla Nublar, they stumble on a conspiracy that threatens the Earth.
  • Jurassic World (2015)
    Review preview for Jurassic World

    It’s nonsense. Tolerable nonsense, but nonsense nonetheless.

    Jane Fae · 3 out of 5
    The addition of a new creature to the Jurassic World theme park leads to trouble.
  • Lady In The Water (2006)
    Review preview for Lady In The Water

    If you don't believe in parallel universes, fairy stories or the power of the puzzle, Story's story will leave you as cold as her skin.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    A lonely janitor struggles to save a lost fairytale creature.
  • The Lion's Mouth Opens (2014)
    Review preview for The Lion's Mouth Opens

    This is a straight forward an intimate documentary that quickly forges a connection between us and Palka.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4 out of 5
    Documentary following Marianna Palka as she confronts her risk of Huntington's Disease.
  • Love, Antosha (2019)
    Review preview for Love, Antosha

    The inevitable sadness is balanced by so much joy and energy that it's a delight to watch.

    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5
    A portrait of the life and career of actor Anton Yelchin.
  • Manderlay (2005)
    Review preview for Manderlay

    Be warned: this Great Dane backs up his satiric bark with a vicious bite.

    Anton Bitel · 4.5 out of 5
    Whether it is right to enforce democracy upon those who remain slaves.
  • Pete's Dragon (2016)
    Review preview for Pete's Dragon

    The candy-coloured elements of the 1977 original have gone but, perhaps inevitably for Disney, traces of sticky sentiment remain in this otherwise enjoyably earthy re-imagining.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3.5 out of 5
    An orphan boy befriends a dragon.
  • Rocketman (2019)
    Review preview for Rocketman

    Fletcher and his star Taron Egerton fling themselves flamboyantly into John’s life, riffing on events, giving them a surreal spin but always keeping how John is feeling about each moment front and centre.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4.5 out of 5
    A musical fantasy reimagining of Elton John's early success, addiction and rehab.
  • Spider-Man 3 (2007)
    Review preview for Spider-Man 3

    Whooshing between buildings at high speed over and over again feels like an overdose of Ritalin. The three-way baddie climax is nauseating, unexciting and full of contrivances.

    Scott Macdonald · 2 out of 5
    Spider-Man fights three villains, and himself.
  • Terminator Salvation (2009)
    Review preview for Terminator Salvation

    Terminator Salvation looks more towards its potential sequels than towards itself.

    Anton Bitel · 2.5 out of 5
    After Judgement Day, the last remnants of humankind battle for survival against the machines.
  • The Village (2004)
    Review preview for The Village

    Gentle, touching, amusing, terrifying, shocking and dramatic all rolled up into a beautifully shot and skilfully rendered film.

    The secrets and passions of an isolated community, trapped by the fear of mythical beasts.
