Exhibition on Screen: Caravaggio (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Bannell certainly gives it his all and, tricked out in full beard and makeup effect facial wound, definitely looks the part.” – Guardian Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Darkman III: Die Darkman Die (1996) 39% EDIT “Darkman III does little more than go through the motions.” – Guardian Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 45% EDIT “Ehren Kruger does a pretty good job of reproducing his [Williamson] smart-alecky dialogue. ” – Guardian Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 86% 3/5 EDIT “While no one could deny the cash-grab fan-service underpinning to the entire project … well, it’s actually a not unenjoyable experience, even if you are someone on whom the intricacies of early-00s game narrative are lost.” – Guardian Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Whatever the background issues, the film does an admirable job in getting across the exhibition’s main point: that Van Gogh was far from the frenzied wildman of poular repute, but rather a complex, thoughtful figure.” – Guardian Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Raphael: A Portrait (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Overall, this is a valuable and interesting effort, though its visual and cinematic ambitions are strictly limited -- but you will learn a lot. ” – Guardian May 23, 2024 Full Review Exhibition on Screen: John Singer Sargent - Fashion & Swagger (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Whatever the swirl of disagreement over the show, the film as a whole, delivered with Exhibition on Screen’s customary level of polish, does a good job of sprucing up the experience.” – Guardian Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Defoe (2024) 3/5 EDIT “As a film, this documentary is not really pulling up any trees, but it gets across a sense that Defoe wants a bit more out of his life than simply playing football.” – Guardian Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Klimt & The Kiss (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Familiar as the image is, there are new things to find out about The Kiss: I’d never noticed, for example, that the entwined lovers are standing on the edge of a precipice.” – Guardian Oct 25, 2023 Full Review AngelHeaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex (2022) 80% 3/5 EDIT “All the archive work is much to the film’s good, as things really take flight whenever Bolan himself appears on screen.” – Guardian Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Kick Out! The Newtown Neurotics Story (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Functions as an insight into a vanished world, not all that long ago, in which ranting poets, skinhead pubs, Letraset fanzines and – yes – the Deutsche Demokratische Republik actually existed.” – Guardian Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Chuck Chuck Baby (2023) 100% 3/5 EDIT “In the end, Pugh’s film undoubtedly wants to warm hearts, and this it manages to full effect.” – Guardian Aug 22, 2023 Full Review That Peter Crouch Film (2023) 3/5 EDIT “This is good-natured, entertaining stuff.” – Guardian Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman (2023) 3/5 EDIT “It does... draw Cassatt out as a tough and independent character, pursuing her own artistic path and very much worthy of the respect she has been largely denied by history.” – Guardian Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% EDIT “Godzilla fills its non-spectacle sequences with turgid emoting and plot shifts so clearly at the service of the special effects budget that they are painful to behold. ” – Guardian Feb 14, 2023 Full Review McCurry: the Pursuit of Color (2021) 3/5 EDIT “So what does this admiring profile tell us? McCurry is a pretty truculent customer, unwilling to give much away; but uncompromisingly direct when he wants to be.” – Guardian Oct 18, 2022 Full Review The Ring (1998) 98% EDIT “A most artfully creepy piece of work. ” – Guardian Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Tosh (2022) 3/5 EDIT “This is a fascinating glimpse into a football world that has entirely vanished, for better or worse.” – Guardian May 17, 2022 Full Review Exhibition On Screen: Easter in Art (2020) 3/5 EDIT “Whatever your faith, or if you have none, there’s something of considerable interest here.” – Guardian Apr 4, 2022 Full Review Rooney (2022) 3/5 EDIT “A film designed to reboot the collective memory banks and secure his status as a footballing great.” – Guardian Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Shane (2022) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Warne no doubt intended the film to shore up his bloody-good-bloke image, and in this he's got to be satisfied how it's turned out.” – Guardian Jan 5, 2022 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “A quiet, reflective film.” – Guardian Nov 30, 2021 Full Review 4/5 EDIT “Jane Campion's latest project is part of a now-honourable tradition of film-making that is a bridge between features and high-end TV.” – Guardian Nov 16, 2021 Full Review Dettori (2021) 4/5 EDIT “Director Anthony Wonke picks a beautifully clear path through the blizzard of life events and intra-family strife; it can't have been easy.” – Guardian Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Arsène Wenger: Invincible (2021) 3/5 EDIT “While Wenger proves a genial and sage-like interviewee, it's fair to say that he still remains almost as much a mystery as before.” – Guardian Nov 11, 2021 Full Review
