Film Reviews

The third instalment in James Cameron's mega-hit blockbuster franchise is "197 minutes of screensaver graphics, clunky dialogue, baggy plotting and hippy-dippy new-age spirituality".

Timothée Chalamet is "captivating", alongside an "impeccable" Gwyneth Paltrow, in this "madcap" film about a young man who scams and steals his way to becoming a table-tennis champion.

The Shakespeare drama starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley has a stellar cast but is "exploitative" and lacks subtlety.

The musical adaptation's second and final instalment isn't likely to win any sceptics over – but it's consistently enjoyable, and sees Ariana Grande, in particular, "really shine".

The "virtuosic" One Battle After Another is "horrifying yet ridiculously funny". It's rare to see such an ambitious film work so smoothly.

Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera star in the true story of a heroic rescue which took place in California in 2018. The film is even more "visceral" than genuine news footage.

Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc and Josh O'Connor nearly steals the show in the "darkest" but also "most playful" instalment of the Knives Out franchise so far.

Sydney Sweeney's remarkable transformation into champion boxer Christy Martin can't fix the film's flaws nor distract from the star's real-life persona.
