The Fabelmans (2022)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Steven Spielberg has always been fascinated by the innocence and insightfulness of children, so a film about his own coming of age was always going to be brilliant, but there's more to 'The Fabelmans,' than just that. It starts with... Read the full review »

Empire of Light (2022)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: The most engaging thing about Sam Mendes' 'Empire of Light,' is Olivia Colman's Hilary - not only because she's portrayed so well by an ever-perfect performance from Ms Colman, but because she's written as one of those characters who... Read the full review »

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: The way James Cameron is talking about the state of cinema, you'd think that his long-awaited sequel to 'Avatar,' might be the next Citizen Kane. But, judging by the first film's well-intended but bloated and heavy-handed tale of col... Read the full review »

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: "War isn't worth it," is the one obvious sentiment that almost all war movies carry, particularly those about the barbaric, senseless battle along the Western front of World War 1. What sets such films apart is the way they tell the... Read the full review »
