A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

10 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Michael Sarnoski's Quiet Place prequel 'A Quiet Place: Day One,' isn't just about survival, it's about living. Sure, it follows the moment that the people-hunting aliens from the later films crash landed on Manhattan Island, so we g... Read the full review »

THX 1138 (1971)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Just like Star Wars, George Lucas' debut feature 'THX 1138,' drops you in the middle of a perfectly realised alternate world, explains very little, and has its audience simply catch up to what's going on. But, far more than a simple... Read the full review »

Inside Out (2015)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Most Pixar films use a high-concept idea to explore something about our real world, but few are as obviously allegorical as 'Inside Out.' The story is about an eleven year-old girl called Riley navigating a move to a new town and sc... Read the full review »

Pickpocket (1959)

6 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Robert Bresson's 'Pickpocket,' is about a thief (Martin LaSalle) who repeatedly convinces himself that his actions are totally acceptable. He argues to a Police Inspector that some people with exceptional skills should be exempt from... Read the full review »

12 Angry Men (1957)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: When a piece of art is deemed especially significant, it doesn't automatically mean it's going to be engaging. After all, there are some occasions when I've watched a classic film or listened to a classic album and, even if I can res... Read the full review »

Back to Black (2024)

7 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Well would you look at that. Another music biopic everyone hates that I actually quite like. Sure, like most films of the genre, 'Back to Black,' tells its story completely chronologically, so it's hardly groundbreaking in its deliv... Read the full review »

Robot Dreams (2023)

8 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: Like the recent 'Past Lives,' Pablo Berger's new animation 'Robot Dreams,' is a beautifully honest film that rejects the idea of fate or destiny in favour of a story about the importance of finding and holding onto our meaningful rel... Read the full review »

Civil War (2024)

9 / 10

WHAT I LIKED: It would be possible to depict a modern-day American 'Civil War,' in many different ways, but Alex Garland's new film is simply devoted to translating the indiscriminate horror and insanity of war to its audience. That may be well-wo... Read the full review »
