La Bola Negra

La Bola Negra is a beautiful queer Spanish epic unlike anything ever made before it, and the ambition on display is complemented with the intricacy needed to place the film among the greats of the film epic...

Clayface

Clayface is lean, bloody and proud of both. DC Studios' body-horror origin story trades sequel setups for a standalone film told with conviction, and it proves the best thing DC can do right now is think...

Behemoth!

Behemoth! Is Gilroy writing and directing at his most polarizing, but also his most creative, writing a character that fits well with the strengths of Pascal as an actor, and it confirms the slow build of Andor was not a one-off but a sign...

Digger

Digger is a hard film to pinpoint, and our verdict lands uncomfortably in the middle, a film too intelligent to dismiss, but perhaps also too intelligent for its own good, more pleased with itself than its audience is, with a Tom Cruise...

Primetime

Primetime is ambitious and offbeat in the most positive sense of the word, bringing the most original angle of any top-five film of the year so far, a film that immerses the audience in the 2000s television aesthetic in the most...
