Manadrome is is just too conceited in its ability to examine masculinity, and its confusing plot gets lost in desperate search of a more profound, philosophical meaning. It tries to make a lot of statements, but ends up saying very little. Review

Sean Penn and Aaron Kaufman's documentary about Volodymyr Zelenskyy is so ridiculously grovelling that it's barely watchable. Review

This 129-minute drama with an equally long title is neither particularly inventive nor subversive. This is a forbidden love story you’ve seen many times before. The sex scenes are credible and steamy, and strangely moving. Review

BlackBerry isn’t a celebratory movie, but instead a caustic comedy, often bordering on the farcical and absurd. Review

It is a well-intentioned but also highly romanticised documentary. It fails to denounce the big culprits, to hold big firms accountable for the damage they continue to inflict on our planet. This is more of celebratory than a denunciation piece of filmmaking. Review

Despite the effective script, the audacious, riveting topic and the dirty depiction of Iran (that you won’t anywhere else), Holy Spider is not a perfect film. Review

Despite the vintage cinematography and Colman’s performance, Empire of Light is not a masterpiece. A dull script, penned by Mendes himself, prevents both the romance and the racial issues from developing full-blossom. Review

This interesting little story makes multiple commentaries on female oppression, and it has a couple of clever twists. But it also has an extra dose of saccharine. The story often slips into cutesy melodrama territory. Review

If you don’t have much money, you should either keep your movie simple or find innovative solutions, instead of pretending that you are making a big blockbuster. The Last Queen is indeed an ambitious film, however it is barely audacious... Review

On the other hand, Hanging Gardens, lacks emotional vigour. The script often borders on the infantile, and the performances don’t always rise to the level of expectations required. As a result, the film often feels vapid and cold. Review
