A delightful, sharply played sequel that smartly turns Andréa into the impossible filmmaker. Its feature-length pacing is less nimble than the series’, but Camille Cottin and the still-pointed showbiz satire keep the reunion lively.
A pleasant, retro-leaning pickleball comedy whose best asset is the warm, funny partnership between Jake Johnson and Mary Steenburgen. Familiar gags and a weaker tournament plot keep its charm from fully paying off.
A tough, contained Jason Statham vehicle with satisfyingly physical fight scenes, but too little character, suspense or style to keep its maritime conspiracy afloat.
A capable comic cast finds occasional spark in a spa-resort farce whose dated sexual shorthand, forced escalation and abrasive central chaos leave its better premise underused.
A polished supernatural sequel with effective set-pieces and familiar franchise appeal, diminished by stale tropes and uneven supporting-character writing.
A strange, stylish mockumentary whose broad comic energy is grounded by Sian Clifford’s mercurial performance and a surprisingly tender view of isolation.
A visually formidable but dramatically uncertain apocalypse drama, lifted by its cast and aerial imagery yet held back by vague threats, uneven pacing and jarring tonal shifts.
A bold dystopian-romcom hook and two appealing leads cannot overcome a muddled world, passive plotting and a shortage of both laughs and romantic urgency.
An engaging metafictional drama with rich dialogue and a pointed critique of artistic exploitation, Bitter Christmas is undermined by a wandering structure and an ending that feels insufficiently resolved.
A lively, sexually charged two-hander whose comic energy and lead performances overcome—though cannot entirely solve—an underdeveloped final mystery.
A polished, tense crime thriller whose well-worn mystery is made more compelling by a superb ensemble and credible emotional stakes.
A harsh, contemplative Robin Hood revision anchored by Hugh Jackman and tender ensemble work. Its refusal to deliver a conventional violent payoff gives the film moral focus, but may frustrate viewers drawn in by its darker set-up.
Ratings are presented on a ten-point scale. The written verdict, strengths and drawbacks explain the recommendation; a score alone cannot tell you whether a film fits your taste.
