Film Reviews
Reviews of all the latest film releases, from indie festival flicks to big screen blockbusters.
The Man Who Sold His Skin review – cutting satire of Western capitalism from a Global-Southern lens
A dissection of Western Capitalism with the same piercing satire that defined Parasite and Sorry To Bother You.
Gunpowder Milkshake review – a neon coat of paint can’t refresh such tired tropes
Even Karen Gillan and Lena Headey can’t save this film from tedium.
Encounter review – Riz Ahmed is magnetic in genre-defying thriller
Riz Ahmed continues his hot streak with yet another captivating performance.
Copshop review – cowboy Western meets criminal thriller
Gerard Butler and Frank Grillo face off in action romp Copshop.
Respect review – a biopic too scared of getting intimate
Skip this overly respectful biopic and put on one of Aretha’s albums instead.
The War Below review – the fascinating tale of the men who dug to victory
A World War I drama which spends too little time with its characters
Shang-Chi review – an entertaining but tainted Marvel first
Fantastic performances and mesmerising action are held back by frustratingly predictable flaws.
Candyman review – Nia DaCosta and Jordan Peele’s sequel is brutal and timely
An incredible and politically astute sequel to the 1992 original.

Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Ferguson reunite in Lisa Joy’s Reminiscence.
