No Time To Die (2021)
It's extremely rare for a film of this scale to be this affecting.

F9 (2021)
It is undeniably a lot of fun and the villains, frankly, are the best bit.

3
A Quiet Place Part II (2021)
The film oscillates between several storylines and it is just as thrilling as the first. But it is also a blatant foray into franchise territory.

Black Bear (2020)
There's something promising lurking at the bottom of this murky soup of a psychological thriller.

5
The Mauritanian (2021)
Without even attempting to assess the post-9/11 scars on the American psyche that enabled this kind of reprehensible behaviour, it catastrophically fails its audience.

6
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
It's gloriously shameless in its silliness. It doesn't care one bit about your cynicism.

Corona (2020)
The film's message is important, but it would have perhaps been more powerful had it not been filmed with such haste.
Posted Mar 29, 2021
8
Locked Down (2021)
Locked Down isn't a bad film, but, again, there is something slightly grim about watching other people Zoom their bosses during your own free time.

Songbird (2020)
The second obstacle that Songbird stumbles over is the fact that the future it depicts feels increasingly unrealistic each day...

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
The overall mood is funereal, though most funerals are shorter than this. Stretched over four hours, Snyder's limitations as a visual stylist also become apparent.

Cherry (2021)
While some films are not the sum of their parts -- and Cherry is also that -- Cherry is more specifically not the sum of its remarkable Tom Holland performances.

Coming 2 America (2021)

I Care a Lot (2021)
14
Malcolm & Marie (2021)
Both actors do enough with the material to make you believe that something interesting might happen in Malcolm & Marie, but the trouble is that something never arrives.

15
Stardust (2020)
A film that, remarkably, seems to get incrementally more awful the longer it lasts.
Posted Jan 15, 2021

Pieces of a Woman (2020)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Wonder Woman 1984 doesn't just seem to be set in the 1980s, it gives every impression to have travelled from there.

The Prom (2020)

The Boys in the Band (2020)

Tenet (2020)

Project Power (2020)
It's a great setup, just a shame the rest of the film doesn't know what to do with it...
Posted Aug 17, 2020

The Speed Cubers (2020)
The Speed Cubers, about competitive Rubik's Cube solving, is a surprisingly affecting look at a subculture for shy, mathematically inclined teens...

Unhinged (2020)
It's sort of terrible, it's sort of obvious and I also sort of loved it.
Posted Aug 6, 2020
25
The Old Guard (2020)
It does just enough to spark some interest in the future of this Netflix movie franchise. Just.
Posted Jul 16, 2020
26
Everybody's Everything (2019)
Just like the music Lil Peep shared throughout his brief career, Everybody's Everything is meant to make you feel something.
Posted Jul 9, 2020
27
Irresistible (2020)
Much like how some films are greater than the sum of their parts, Irresistible is nowhere near as bad as the sum of its failures.
Posted Jul 2, 2020

Disclosure (2020)
Sit down and watch Disclosure. Find an evening when the idea of anger, in an era of rage, is not too much to bear.

The King of Staten Island (2020)
The King Of Staten Island isn't about to win any awards, but it's a warm comedy bath to luxuriate in, and that's no bad thing right now.

Becoming (2020)
The portrait of Obama in Becoming is a familiar one, but no less impactful.

Bad Boys for Life (2020)
What did you expect? It is ridiculous. It's meant to be.

To be clear up front: Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is not a bad film. It's fun! Sort of. It's satisfying! Kind of. It's... a bit all over the place.

6 Underground (2019)

Two of America's greatest storytellers have delivered the best documentary of the year.

Knives Out (2019)
To be frank, it works sublimely.

Frozen II (2019)
Throughout it's entirety, in fact, the plot is such that you can see the grouting, you can see the screenwriting glue between the much-mulled-over ideas.

Marriage Story (2019)

Very Ralph (2019)
The glimpse Lacy's film provides into the designer's everyday existence is as beguiling as it is inspiring.

Marriage Story (2019)
What a sledgehammer Baumbach has crafted.

Last Christmas (2019)
I will watch this movie for many, many holidays to come; a reminder that sometimes small acts of kindness can make patches of the world a bit more bearable.

Doctor Sleep (2019)
At no point does Doctor Sleep shame the legacy of The Shining. It's an interesting, if mostly conventional, continuation of the story. It only feels distantly related, though.

Gemini Man (2019)
Let's be clear, Gemini Man is not a terrible film, but it's the kind of film that would probably be better received on flight than in 3-D at your local iMax.

Joker (2019)

Judy (2019)
Zellweger's performance deserves a nod on sheer power alone.
