As it is a straight historical documentary, I’m not sure it delves into facets of human life quite as much as the other docs in this category do. But it is nonetheless fascinating to watch. Review

But as an intimate portrait of the love between a father and his daughter, this has little to beat it. It certainly moved the illustrious Mrs Movie Man to tears while watching it! Review

It’s spectacular indeed, but other than the spectacle there is not that much additional content. As such, it feels a bit of a one-trick-pony. Review

Hats off also to the photography in this one, which is on a par with a David Attenborough production. There are fine shots of other wildlife in the forest, some great aerial drone footage and some incredible footage of locals foraging: hanging off precipices by home-made vine ropes. Review

Told as 5 separate chapters, each pursuing a different style of animation, this is a wildly inventive ride through the angst of being a sexually inquisitive/frustrated teen. Review

The animation style is quite ‘blocky’ and crude but some of the sequences are remarkably well done. Review

The artwork of the countryside the characters (by Charles Mackesy) is just superb. Moreover, the story is chock full of really deep and positive mental health messages. Review

Another well-directed and female-directed movie (and impressive in being Lila Neugebauer’s feature debut), this one feels like it’s an “always a bridesmaid, never the bride” film at the awards. But I found it an interesting, if slow, drama that pleased without totally exciting me. Review

The film must have been well received, since a sequel is in the works. For this is a cracking story of derring do on the high seas, this animation is highly recommended for a family watch. Review

This is a solid chapter in the whole ‘Rocky’ saga, which – given these films have been going for nearly 50 years – is pretty impressive. I’d certainly recommend it as a good night out at the movies, so hats off to Michael B. Jordan. Review

As a Rom-com it’s largely inoffensive and might satisfy those with a romantic bent who want to see how it ends (as if you didn’t already know!). But I found it bland and lacking in the ‘com’ aspect. Reece Witherspoon deserves better material than this. Review

A good communal watch, I went with three other family members and we roared in laughter throughout. Like a good teen slasher, it’s fun to see a bunch of random, unlikeable individuals exit (pursued by a bear!) It’s not bloody Shakespeare, but it was good for a laugh. Review

Deserving of its classic status, this Hitchcock classic was great to see on the big-screen again. Review

As for the recent Pinnochio, I recognize the technical skill employed in making this one, and enjoyed it to an extent. But I’m afraid I just got a bit bored by the end of it. Review

I can appreciate the artistry of both Bowie and Brett Morgen, the documentary maker, but as an overlong mind-bending kaleidoscope of Bowie this didn’t float my personal boat. But I can see as a Bowie fan why you might give this one 5 stars. Review

Will it win any Oscars? No. But as a fun night out for a couple at the cinema, it fits the bill. Review

This is a really solid Netflix film, telling a shocking true story… even more shocking when you get to the “factoids” presented in the closing titles. It’s worth watching as a wannabe actor purely for ‘that scene’ with Eddie Redmayne. One that would be fabulous to try to recreate to practise your craft. Review

I really doubt myself as a cinephile when the only one of Park Chan-wook’s films I’ve seen before is Stoker from 2013. This is something I need to remedy. But I thought this film was fabulous, and well deserving of a re-watch, when I might be able to get even more from it. Review

I’ve seen varied reviews of this movie, but I was really engaged in it and thought it was great. I was genuinely surprised that this was a “last year film” and just completely overlooked by the BAFTAs and Oscars. Review

Marvel seems to be on life-support if this is anything to go by. If, like Ant Man, it had tried to position itself at the comedy-Marvel end of the spectrum it might have succeeded. But, while there is still some comic moments in there, it is far more po-faced than even Ant Man and the Wasp. Dull, dull, dull. My recommendation: avoid. Review
