Jan Komasa's #GoodBoy is "unsettling" and "genre‑slippery" with powerhouse performances from Stephen Graham and Anson Boon ⛓️

Willem Dafoe is, as ever, a compelling presence in Miguel Ángel Jiménez’s 70s-set melodrama The Birthday Party but the film around him is bland and boring. We’re invited into a lavish celebration but stuck with the worst people in the room, we’re left looking for an excuse to leave early #GFF26

For @takeonecinema.net, I reviewed EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET, the opening film of this year's Glasgow Film Festival. It's a stirring documentary focused on the individuals who chose to defend their neighbours that day and the Scottish context of the protest. People Make Glasgow. #GFF26

It Will Only Take You One Hour to Fall in Love with ‘Industry’ Less than an hour, actually. Just 51 minutes.

Hearing a lot about this show Industry but not sure whether you want to take the plunge? I've got good news: Everything good about Industry is right there in the series premiere, and it only gets better from there. As I wrote last season, all you'll need to decide if it's for you is one hour

Aye it borrows a lot but it felt like it was wearing its influences on its sleeve.

Throwing its many influences at the wall to see what sticks, Gore Verbinski’s anti-AI sci-fi adventure Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die doesn’t have an original bone in its eccentric body but it’s fun and thought-provoking nonetheless. I’d happily watch a spin-off with Haley Lu Richardson’s character!

Wasteman is a showcase for one of Britain’s most exciting young actors – review Cal McMau’s feature debut doesn’t offer much new to the prison drama genre, but it boasts complexity and grace in the performances of its leading men

The Chronology of Water Film Review - Seensome.com Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut is reviewed through its fractured form, fearless performances, and emotionally unflinching approach to trauma and memory.

Still in some cinemas, it's well worth seeking out Kristen Stewart's emotionally raw directorial debut The Chronology of Water.

A big flashy LA heist thriller with a starry ensemble, Crime 101 is a throwback to the cops & robbers flicks of the 90s. It’s slick and intricate storytelling from Bart Layton and its engine purrs all the way to a gripping finale. Ruffalo is made to be a salt n’ pepper haired dishevelled detective.
