This is a surprising and innovative British film that deserves your attention. It is funny and moving in equal measure and marks Charlotte Regan as a director to watch for the future. But I did find the inconsistency in the style to be irritating and frustrating. Review

I’m sure if all of the jokes landed for you it was a fire-hosing of comedy. As a movie for me, it certainly wasn’t a bust, and I would watch it again, but it felt like a good opportunity missed. Review

It’s Bond, Jane Bond. And Bond-lite at that. But I rather enjoyed this as silly and mindless entertainment. Review

This is a good old-fashioned kind of film. A biopic told in a linear and unflashy way. Review

The story is so wishy-washy and nondescript, it’s was difficult for me to get readily invested in it. Review

In the huge pantheon of ‘zombie’ films it’s difficult to create a film that genuinely stands out, but Boyle manages to do it with 28 Days Later. Review

It’s not a terrible film by any means. But it didn’t really grab me either. Review

There’s a lot to irritate you about this movie, but I’ve gone and given it three-and-a-half stars regardless. Because I really did enjoy the ride. This could have been a bit of a classic if some of the rough edges had been smoothed out. Review

This is a solid, well-made animated story that will keep the kids busy for an afternoon during the summer holidays. Review

It’s a classic film, and just SOOOOO good to see again on the big screen. Putting the rampant mysogyny to one side, its a comic treat that still delights nearly 65 years late. Review

This is a near perfect documentary, as you would expect with A24’s name on it. Review

It has a lot of positives (not least of which the stunning debut performance by Sophie Wilde). But it also has some very rough edges. Review

Grim stuff, but Nolan has produced a devestatingly brilliant overview of the controversial man’s life and work and this is a MUST SEE. Review

I normally feel a bit let down by thrillers, but this one exceeded my expectations. A well-crafted twisty-turny script that always keeps you guessing. Review

Solid and predictable, this doesn’t break any new cinematic ground. As a park-your-brain horror thriller, it might appeal late on a Saturday night with a curry and a few beers. Review

But to me, overall this comes around a par with Fallout and so a tad below my personal favourite Rogue Nation. Review

The problem with Pixar is that I expect brilliance and perfection, and – personally speaking – this really didn’t hit that bar for me this time. Review

It’s a solid and well-filmed historical biopic, bringing to life the music of a forgotten black classical composer. Review

Simply stunning. This is a must-see on the big screen, so if you haven’t yet, try to catch it fast before it slips through into the streaming universe. Review

No doubt about it, this is a solid action thriller. For me though, I slightly preferred the first film to this one. Review
