Visually striking but narratively superficial.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 review – Sorkin wilfully misinterprets history
Aaron Sorkin’s directorial effort proves frustratingly out-of-touch.
Another Round review – raise a glass to this deliciously drunken Danish drama
Another Round is Thomas Vinterberg’s latest collaboration with Mads Mikkelsen and perfectly captures drinking in a comedy-drama full of life.
The Intruder review – an eerie but unoriginal thriller
The Intruder is an unoriginal but atmospheric thriller from Argentina. From director Natalia Meta comes an eerie piece that sustains tension.
Wildfire review – an uneven but powerful story of two sisters
Wildfire is a capably handled and powerful feature debut from Cathy Brady, featuring two standout turns from Nora-Jane Noone and the late Nika McGuigan.
Genus Pan review – another abstract curio from Lav Diaz
Genus Pan is Lav Diaz at his most abstract. It’s short for him, but no less dense with ideas.
Shirley review – anti-biopic proves delightfully unsettling
Elisabeth Moss gives a hypnotic performance as the famed horror writer.

Wolfwalkers is an utterly astounding animated adventure, blending timely themes with a mesmerising display of artistry and visual flair.

Supernova is a heartbreaking, tender and at times uplifting story of love and mortality.
