3.5/5
On The Rocks (2020)
A frothier joint than many Coppola fans will surely be expecting, but also quietly defiant in its own way, and performed with spritely glee by Bill Murray in particular.

Possessor: Uncut (2020)
A biotech Bourne Identity, with smatterings of body-horror and familiar tech talking points, Possessor succeeds because it's wearing Brandon Cronenberg's skin over them.

Beasts Clawing at Straws (2020)
A wonderful South Korean film that is more twisted and strange than you'd expect. A must-see for any fans of Tarantino or Coen Brothers movies.

976-EVIL (1989)
976-EVIL is a good, fun horror movie but not a great one and, looking back, is probably one of the last throes of a type of movie that was fast becoming out of style at the time.

Rebecca (2020)
If Ben Wheatley's Rebecca shows us anything it demonstrates his versatility, visionary flair and ability to do a period piece without breaking sweat

Mangrove (2020)
Music, dance, food and togetherness are crucial ingredients of a film that pays loving tribute to its real-life inspirations.

Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)
Not shocking and screams "been there, done that," this is a sequel no one asked for. Sadly this isn't as wild as the filmmakers thought it was going to be

The Kid Detective (2020)
A quick and quirky little adventure that proves there's still something to do in the world of noir mysteries.

This Rachel Talalay-directed film makes for a perfect Halloween viewing and a way to introduce a young viewer to their first "horror film"

Body of Water (2020)
A place that so often in movies has been one of calming, cathartic serenity becomes, in Body of Water, a vast, lonely space.

Wolfwalkers (2020)
A tale of sisterhood, friendship, and acceptance of that which is different, Wolfwalkers won't just make you feel good, it'll make you feel everything.

Shithouse (2020)
Shithouse gets the proud honor of being the first great romantic comedy of this decade.

Mogul Mowgli (2020)

Herself (2020)
It's not perfect, but it does exactly what it sets out to do and it does it well, and it's undoubtedly Lloyd's best work.

Supernova (2020)
As a high-quality drama, it's likely Supernova will cause stirs come awards season

Limbo (2020)
Its genre-melding central conceit never quite comes off in the way that it's aiming for.

It's a treat for those fascinated by bodily contortions and musical mania.

2/5
A turgid, dramatically inert thriller that makes those 90 minutes feel like 90 days.

Bad Tales (Favolacce) (2020)
Their playfully grim comedy never really comes off and the drama is simply too uninteresting. Beyond the obvious, they don't really have anything to say.

Cicada (2020)
Paints an effortlessly diverse picture of modern New York City through the prism of a sweet, authentic relationship blooming between two men.

Ultraviolence (2020)
There's no doubting the fire in this movie's belly and the importance of the stories it foregrounds.

Rose: A Love Story (2020)
A British chiller that packs a really satisfying punch, as long as you're willing to wait for it.

The Intruder (El prófugo) (2020)
Beyond a decent central performance and a glimmer of genre pastiche, there's very little for anybody to chew on.

4/5
The Salt in Our Waters (2020)
It's a nuanced depiction of people being forced to toss minor differences aside in favour of the bigger, unavoidable issues -- a lesson the West would do well to learn.

After Love (2020)
It's tough to complain too much about the supporting roles when the movie is such a powerful showcase for Scanlan.

Time (2020)
In recounting a singular, specific story, Bradley powerfully finds a voice in the crowd, and makes indelible those names who so often get lost in the numbers.

One Night in Miami (2020)
One Night in Miami is a terrific calling card for King as a director.

This is just bleak for the sake of bleakness.

Farewell Amor (2020)
It's a defiantly quiet and low-key character study, albeit one that could've done with making some of its points a little more loudly.

I Am Samuel (2020)
When the movie focuses on its two protagonists, it really works, but it feels like a missed opportunity to delve deeper into the big issues.

Siberia (2020)
It's like being sat next to the worst person at a party, who keeps telling you how much better Christopher Nolan movies are if you're high.
Posted Oct 21, 2020

Relic (2020)
As well as heralding a major talent in Natalie Erika James, Relic is a disarming horror story that'll get beneath your skin in the best and worst possible ways.

Hubie Halloween (2020)
Faeces, farts and a whole swag bags worth of immature fun, Hubie Halloween is Sandler at his best/worst.

The Lie (2020)
Talented actors can't save this frustrating script and lack of actual horror. Needed a bit more to make it impactful

Black Box (2020)
Intriguing and well-made, something kept this from being a great film, but it's one of the stronger entries in Welcome to the Blumhouse.

African Apocalypse (2020)
African Apocalypse wrestles with the savagery of western civilisation in uniquely disquieting fashion, while considering how the sins of the national past can be redressed today.

Scare Me (2020)
Scare Me understands the power of sound and the film's pared-back style gives its actors a chance to really play around and challenge themselves.

The Call (2020)
It works on some levels, with talented acting from Chester Rushing and Tobin Bell. But the forced nostalgia and cheap effects hinder the final product.

Enola Holmes (2020)
Any fan of Sherlock Holmes and detective mysteries will get a kick of out Enola Holmes and Brown's performance.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Sorkin is finally coming into his own as a director. Always strong with scripts, but this had everything you'd want from a courtroom drama.
