There’s a certain kind of film that doesn’t just show its heart but wears it so openly that you can feel the pulse between the frames. Tinā, the hugely impressive directorial debut of writer/director Miki Magasiva, is one such film. It is a story of loss, faith, music, and cultural identity that lingers not because it reinvents the coming-of-age or underdog formula, but because of how fiercely it believes in what it’s doing. Messy in moments but quietly profound in others, Tinā is an earnest, deeply moving, and emotionally...

In a year already flush with high-concept genre films, Warfare lands with a kind of blistering clarity that is difficult to ignore. Directed by former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza, in collaboration with Alex Garland, the film is a nerve-fraying, pulse-rattling war drama that deliberately forgoes conventional storytelling for an immersive and, at times, punishingly authentic battlefield experience. It is an experiment in form and endurance, one that asks the viewer not to follow a story so much as survive it. To watch Warfare is to feel ensnared in...

The high-concept techno-thriller Drop is a hugely entertaining little film that thrives on tension, taps into modern anxieties with unnerving precision, and banks much of its emotional weight on a magnetic central performance from Meghann Fahy. It’s a sleek, often pulpy ride, and while it doesn’t always land its punches with grace, it knows how to keep its audience clutching the table—be it with sweaty palms or out of secondhand awkwardness. Balancing dread with slick visual flair and just enough character intrigue to stay invested, Drop falls somewhere between...

Death of a Unicorn is sadly one of those films that seems to promise more than it can deliver. On the surface, it's an enticing idea—a quirky, darkly comedic narrative involving a magical unicorn, strange visions, and an exploration of moral boundaries. The premise suggests a blend of satire, fantasy, and family drama that could’ve offered something unique, even genre-breaking. However, despite a few glimmers of potential, the film ultimately falls short, stumbling under the weight of an overcomplicated plot, uneven performances, and a tone that can't quite...

After three years of being the internet's favourite punching bag, Disney's live-action reimagining of Snow White is finally here. From the "controversy" of casting a Latina in the role of someone traditionally described as having “skin as white as snow" and the backlash surrounding its leading lady's "woke" criticism of the original animated film to the use of CGI characters instead of live actors for the Seven Dwarfs and the opposing political views of its two stars, this film has caused Disney marketing execs to pull their hair out...

It's been almost 25 years since Renée Zellweger turned the star of Helen Fielding's bestselling novel into one of the most undeniably endearing, endlessly lovable, and perpetually chaotic heroines of the rom-com genre. Two Oscars and a career of numerous ups and downs, Zellweger returns to her most beloved role in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth and purportedly final instalment in the long-running series. This latest chapter is both a poignant evolution for Bridget and a warm return to the humour and romantic misadventures that made the...

Steven Soderbergh’s Presence is, in many ways, a fascinating experiment. A haunted house story stripped down to its most minimalistic form, the film toys with perspective, atmosphere, and psychological unease rather than overt scares. The result is a film that is as intriguing as it is frustrating, a cerebral ghost story that doesn’t always land its punches but lingers in the mind nonetheless. Presence is undeniably unique, though whether that uniqueness is rewarding or alienating will depend on the viewer. The film follows the Payne family—Rebecca (Lucy Liu), her...

Stephen King adaptations come in all shapes and sizes. Some are sprawling prestige dramas (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile), others lean into psychological terror (Misery, Gerald’s Game), and then there are the delightfully deranged oddities (Creepshow, Maximum Overdrive). Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey, based on King’s 1980 short story of the same name, falls squarely into that final category—a gleefully twisted, blood-soaked horror-comedy that embraces its B-movie roots while showcasing Perkins’ signature eerie, off-kilter style. It’s at once one of the funniest and most gruesome King adaptations in years,...

Every so often, a film emerges that feels like a jolt of electricity—equal parts unsettling, hilarious, and unexpected. A genre-blurring dark comedy/sci-fi thriller, Drew Hancock’s Companion, is one such film. It’s a story that traverses the absurd and the emotional with a uniquely audacious tone, delivering a movie that manages to thrill, shock, and amuse. With a stellar cast led by Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, Companion stands out as a bold, inventive effort in modern genre cinema. A gleefully deranged genre mash-up that starts the year in style,...
