If I Had Legs I'd Kick You2025
This movie had my misophonia firing on all cylinders. Rose Byrne delivers a powerhouse performance and the directorial choices are very interesting.

The Smashing Machine2025
Both The Rock and Emily Blunt deliver really strong performances but the film is loaded with biopic cliches and ultimately doesn’t feel like it adds anything unique or necessary.
Twinless2025
It’s weird, sad, funny and unpredictable. All the actors are great but Dylan O’Brien gives a masterful performance, James Sweeney is terrific, and Aisling Franciosi as Marcie is endlessly charming and incandescent.
Marty Supreme2025
Follows a familiar Safdie brothers formula seen in _Good Time_ and _Uncut Gems_ following an unlikable grifter in a fast-paced, anxiety-inducing adventure but it works. Timothée Chalamet gives a brilliant performance as Marty Mauser
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man2026
The problem with the Immortal Man is that by the creator’s own admission they wanted to make something that could stand alone outside of the series. Maybe it works as a standalone project but for the fans of the beloved series and its characters it feels like a complete disservice. It’s as though Steven Knight forgot what made the series so great because all of those elements were missing: great characters, family dynamics and memorable villains. This film had none of that. It felt hollow, empty, and a complete character assassination of Tommy fooking Shelby.
Better Man2024
A brilliant film. Robbie Williams I apologize, I was not familiar with your game but I am now. 98/100 A+.
Hamnet2025
Jessie Buckley is simply incredible and she has a way of making it all seem so effortless. My only issue is that for a film about unimaginable grief the pacing feels too fast. The thing about grief is that it sticks with you, it stops your world as the world keeps moving for everyone else. Hamnet is still an excellent film. 96/100.
Train Dreams2025
Train Dreams is a simple story told beautifully. It’s about the relentless progress of modern technology versus the simple, everlasting beauty of nature. It’s about life, love, and loss and the beauty in a simple life. It’s not the American Dream but perhaps it is much closer to the American Truth.
She Rides Shotgun2025
The story leaves something to be desired but it is a masterpiece of acting Taron Egerton is great but Ana Sophia Hegler who plays his daughter Polly is an absolute revelation in her film debut. She honestly deserves Oscar buzz if you ask me.
