Emily the Criminal (2022)

God's Country (2022)
God's Country, through Sandra's anger, is like dynamite - a fire travelling along a fuse in seconds that feel like a lifetime, until it ignites in an explosive gut punch.

It's a personal, entertaining and emotional tale that touches on many themes. However, while these themes are earnest, Sorrentino leaves them half-baked.

Beans (2021)
A coming-of-age film about children who are forced to grow up too fast in the face of an important, shocking and heavy part in Canada's history.

No Time To Die (2021)
While it's not perfect, it's a thoroughly enjoyable send-off for Craig's final turn as 007.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
For about one-millionth of the price, it would be a loveably awful student film that a teacher would give the lowest possible passing grade out of pity.

The Guilty (2021)
Gyllenhaal's performance is strong enough to compensate for the lack of on-screen action.

The intensely stylized depiction of schizophrenia and wacky cat depictions quickly grow tiresome.

The Harder They Fall (2021)
The Harder They Fall is very much a traditional Western, but it still adds just enough modern flair to feel fresh despite its devotion to the genre.

Army of Thieves (2021)
Army of Thieves makes a decent case for the zombieverse's potential.

Eternals (2021)
It's way too much character development for one movie - just imagine if we had met all of the Avengers at the same time

I'm Your Man (2021)
The film tells the complex love story between a humanoid robot and an ordinary woman, asking many questions about what it means to be human with depth, humour and wistfulness.

The Humans (2021)
It's always fun to listen to other people's problems to escape from our own, but what The Humans addresses creeps into our reality like the nightmares that keep us up at night.

Charlotte (2021)
Not shying away from the horrors and violence experienced under Hitler's antisemitic regime, the film is both a tragic and beautiful story about life, death and the art in between.

Petite Maman (2021)
Petite Maman is the definition of short and sweet, packing a wallop in just 72 minutes that most films can't do in two hours.

Laurent is honest, but also gentle in her treatment of her film's subject matter and themes of grief, trauma and sisterhood.

Maria Chapdelaine (2021)
With tranquil energy and a sweeping score, Maria Chapdelaine is a film full of love, yearning, and grief through the rosy-cheeked perspective of a girl coming of age.

Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021)
Fear Street Part 3: 1666 tones down the gore while upping the emotional stakes, making for a slightly flawed but very satisfying end to the series.

Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021)
If you ever wished Stranger Things were a little less '80s and a lot more disgusting, Fear Street hits the mark.

The Tomorrow War (2021)
As a film about time travel that offers thrills while actually making coherent sense, this alien invasion onto Amazon Prime is welcome.

Army Of The Dead (2021)
Even if there's far too much dimly lit zombie massacring, the film's raw materials are solid.

Bo Burnham: Inside (2021)
He does manage to articulate the loneliness, self-reflection and depression of the coronavirus era more vividly than perhaps anyone else so far.

[Wework] combines the deranged hubris of Fyre Festival, the sinister self-improvement philosophy of Scientology, and the sketchy economics of the dot-com bubble.
