In a year when Pixar came roaring back to life with the box office phenomenon that was Inside Out 2, all eyes now turn to DreamWorks Animation and their adaptation of Peter Brown's beloved 2016 novel, The Wild Robot. As fate would have it, they've gone and delivered what might just be their greatest work to date. And it could be the film that finally delivers the studio's first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Heck, throw it in the mix for a Best Picture nomination too. Yep,...

There are passion projects and then there's something like Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis; a film the Oscar-winning director has been attempting to get off the ground since its conception way back in 1977 that's only now finally a reality after an investment of $120 million of Coppola's own money. Hats off to the legendary filmmaker for taking such a huge risk, but was it really worth it? At the age of 85, Megalopolis could very well be his final film. With a big swing of the bat for his swan song,...

Take two of the best actors working right now, pair them with the director of one of this decade's best romantic dramas, and throw in a gorgeous story that explores the power of love, the fragility of life, and the elusive nature of time and you have We Live in Time; one of the loveliest films you will experience this year. With a script brimming with warmth and authenticity, the film balances heartache and sadness with hope and humour. Perfectly led by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, it's...

After more than three decades of watching countless films every year, it takes quite a lot to shock and surprise this film critic. Then again, it's not every day something comes along like The Substance; Coralie Fargeat's disgustingly twisted, pointedly satirical, sickly comedic, and staggeringly entertaining body-horror that will either leave you fleeing for the exit or applauding with sheer joy. I was in the latter category. A biting indictment of Hollywood's obsession with youth and the way it discards women of a certain age, Fargeat clearly has a...

There is always trepidation when an actor transitions into the director's chair. That apprehension only rises when that actor is also responsible for co-writing the screenplay. With the tense, disturbing, darkly funny, and twist-filled nail-biter Blink Twice, Zoë Kravitz deftly proves she's both a writer and director worth watching and one with a sharp vision and something pertinent to say. Shrewdly influenced by Jordan Peele's Get Out, the #MeToo movement, and the horrors of what went down on Jeffrey Epstein's island, Kravitz delivers an unnerving psychological thriller that will keep...

Much like the unstoppable extra-terrestrial force at the centre of this space saga, the Alien franchise is a monolith that simply refuses to die. After Ridley Scott's Alien and James Cameron's Aliens set such a high bar for the sci-fi genre, nothing that's followed has captured the same magic. Scott tried valiantly to resurrect the series with the ambitious but anarchic Prometheus in 2012 and the gnarly but generic Alien: Covenant in 2017. After mixed reviews and so-so box office results, it was clear the time had come for some fresh blood. While...

For the first time since 2012, the world is only being served one film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe this year. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing will depend on your feelings towards the MCU's dominance of cinemas around the globe for much of the last decade. But even the most ardent Marvel fan would admit Disney pulling back on the reins was necessary after 2023 saw a tepid reaction to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the undeniable disaster that was The Marvels. Enter...

You've likely heard a lot of extremely hyperbolic buzz surrounding writer/director Osgood Perkins' atmospheric thriller Longlegs. Some have called it the scariest film of the decade. Others have said it's the 21st century's version of The Silence of the Lambs. And some have even called for it to dominate next year's Academy Award nominations. Hype can be a terrible thing. Thankfully (or, at least in my opinion), this is one film that lives up to its reputation. Deeply unsettling with a slow-burning aura of dread hovering over practically every single frame,...

Let's get one thing straight; if your only exposure to auteur of the absurd Yorgos Lanthimos is Poor Things and The Favourite, you may not be a fan of his latest work. If you're well-versed in his other films like The Lobster, Killing of the Sacred Deer, and Dogtooth, the twistedly weird and entirely confounding Kinds of Kindness should be in your wheelhouse. After his previous two films achieved mega awards season success (five Oscar wins from 21 nominations) and a collective $200 million worldwide box office take, it feels like Lanthimos has made...

When John Krasinski made the curious decision to set 2018's A Quiet Place some 400 days after an alien invasion wiped out much of the human population, you could practically smell a prequel brewing in the distance. While the 2018 sequel opened with a prologue set during the alien's arrival, a stand-alone spin-off beckoned, sans Krasinski in the director's chair. It's always a risk when a franchise passes its reins over to a new filmmaker. Thankfully, A Quiet Place: Day One is in the capable hands of writer/director Michael...
