Twisters
(2024)
|
Ian Sandwell
|
Whether or not it lives up to it might depend on your personal connection to – and nostalgia for – the original movie. But Twisters still delivers where it counts with thrilling huge-scale set pieces which are very wet and very windy.

MaXXXine

It's probably best to just enjoy MaXXXine's wildest moments, along with Mia Goth's terrific performance, without digging too deep.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
(2024)
|
Ian Sandwell
|
For the most part, all Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F does with its numerous callbacks is remind you that you could be watching the far superior first movie instead.

A Family Affair

Rom-com fans will be left wanting with A Family Affair, although at least they'll discover strawberry-shortcake Oreos are a real thing.

A Quiet Place: Day One

|
Ian Sandwell
|
A Quiet Place: Day One is another excellent instalment in the franchise, delivering the tense set pieces you'd expect, but also with an emotional core that you might not.

Kinds of Kindness
(2024)

Ian Sandwell

Stick with it and you're rewarded with another movie that only Lanthimos could make, one that'll have you wincing, laughing and thinking – often all within the same scene.

The Bikeriders

It's the coolest-looking movie of the year, even if it slightly runs out of gas towards the end.

Inside Out 2
(2024)

Ian Sandwell

What the sequel does achieve is being a worthy follow-up that expands the world with brilliant tweaks to the concept, as well as delivering witty gags that simplify big ideas.

Brokeback Mountain

David Opie

Sure, there are happier gay films out now, ones that involve more queer talent both in front of and behind the camera, but here I am still, clinging onto this masterpiece like Ennis holding onto that damn jacket.

Hit Man
(2023)
|
Mireia Mullor
|
Fresh yet nostalgic, accessible even if incredibly complex, transcendental in an unassuming way, and ultimately a delightful romantic comedy about living life passionately and finding someone that matches your freak.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die

The Beast
(2023)
|
Mireia Mullor
|
It's a bold, romantic sci-fi epic that defies categorisation. It's also quite long, demanding, and at times even bonkers, but it's worth every single minute.

Young Woman and the Sea
(2024)

Mireia Mullor
|
Honing the classic sports-film formula, the movie is a delightful dive into a story that needed to be told, and lifted up.

Atlas
(2024)
|
Mireia Mullor
|
Netflix's new epic Atlas is like putting together every cliché in the sci-fi book (including Hollywood's obsession with apocalyptic AI) without a clue of how to mash them into something worth viewers' time.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
(2024)

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is not Mad Max: Fury Road. But it is another singular cinematic experience that needs to be witnessed.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

It takes a little while to find its footing, but it's a strong continuation of a franchise that is as emotionally engaging as it is visually spectacular.

The Fall Guy
(2024)

Mireia Mullor

The Fall Guy is a great old-school Hollywood action comedy — extremely enjoyable, full of star power and sometimes too in-your-face for its own good.

Spy x Family Code: White

SPY x FAMILY CODE: White doesn't reveal any secrets about the highly anticipated season three, but it sure proves these characters are still as hysterical and entertaining to watch as ever.

There are no explicit sex scenes or orgasms on screen, and yet this is the horniest movie of the year.

Civil War

It won't tell you anything new that you probably didn't know, but it's a heartfelt love letter to those journalists still fighting in the trenches of an unfairly precarious profession.

The Beautiful Game

It'll be a hard soul to not be uplifted by the movie's triumph-over-adversity story arc, with engaging performances sweeping you along with the drama of the matches even when the outcome feels obvious.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Late Night with the Devil

Road House
(2024)
|
Mireia Mullor
|
It's the kind of film where the hero performs brutal martial arts without breaking a sweat and a thug is eaten by a crocodile. It's often delightfully unhinged, but ultimately flawed.

Irish Wish
(2024)

Nobody could get tricked into thinking Irish Wish is anything more than it is — an uninspired, middle-of-the-road romantic comedy that we'll forget as quickly as it takes for Lohan to film a new one.

The Zone of Interest

The End We Start From
(2023)

Mireia Mullor
|
The movie is beautifully shot, smartly adapted by Alice Birch (Lady Macbeth, The Wonder) and magnificently acted by Jodie Comer, who carries the emotional weight of the film as exceptionally as her character carries her baby across half of England.

Role Play

Role Play ends up being the archetypal streaming movie. It's bland and inoffensive, with a plot and a villain (the wasted Connie Nielsen) that requires only a couple of exposition dumps to understand.
