Black Adam (2022) 39% 5.5/10 EDIT “You can hear the ideal version of this film screaming for help at certain points, mainly from the cast who do such a phenomenal job at keeping it entertaining, all whilst the flimsy script and choppy editing does them no favours.” – Alternative Lens Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Till (2022) 96% 7/10 EDIT “The tragic story of Emmett Till and his mother’s fight for justice finally gets the cinematic treatment, featuring an incredibly powerful first act and a heart-breaking closing ten minutes.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Unicorn Wars (2022) 81% 5.5/10 EDIT “It’s little more than a feature-length episode of Happy Tree Friends but with a more melancholic philosophy.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review She Said (2022) 88% 6/10 EDIT “Overall, it’s an effective enough journalistic drama, but if you’ve read the articles already there’s nothing new this film is going to offer you.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) 96% 7.5/10 EDIT “Farrell and Gleeson play the roles of friends-turned-enemies that keep escalating their inexplicable feud to brilliant effect, both comedically and dramatically, along with solid supporting turns by Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon. ” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% 9.5/10 EDIT “With hilarious performances from Harrison Dickinson and Woody Harrelson, and a star-making turn by Dolly de Leon, Triangle of Sadness is one of those movies that keeps getting funnier as it sinks lower and lower.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Empire of Light (2022) 44% 7.5/10 EDIT “It’s going for a very similar nostalgia appeal to last year’s Belfast, though far less effectively. Still, a perfectly good trip down memory lane for older cinema fans.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review My Policeman (2022) 44% 3.5/10 EDIT “Far more laughable than moving, My Policeman probably would have fared better if played as a parody.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Bros (2022) 88% 9/10 EDIT “In amongst the chaotic comedy though is a touching love story between a mismatched couple that touches on male inadequacy, internalised homophobia, and what it really means to be queer in the modern age.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review The Whale (2022) 64% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a heart-breaking and harrowing film, and one you should be cautious to watch if you’ve struggled with eating disorders, but it has such a noble heart despite its vile undertones that it somehow ends up being one of Aronofsky’s most uplifting films.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Decision to Leave (2022) 94% 8.5/10 EDIT “Park Chan-Wook returns with two murder mysteries for the price of one in this romantic thriller that plays out like Double Indemnity mixed with Insomnia by way of Twin Peaks.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review The Good Nurse (2022) 74% 6.5/10 EDIT “Chastain does a decent enough job, and for most the runtime Redmayne surprisingly restrains himself but unfortunately ends up reverting to his old tricks by the end.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Pretty Red Dress (2022) 85% 4.5/10 EDIT “This might have been a classic if released in the late 90s or early 2000s, but in 2022 it feels sadly well behind the times.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Women Talking (2022) 90% 9.5/10 EDIT “Based on the acclaimed 2018 novel of the same name, Women Talking is basically 12 Angry Men for the #MeToo era, tackling sexual abuse and the patriarchy from the perspective of devout Mennonites that pits faith against freedom in a gut-wrenching way.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (2022) 60% 4/10 EDIT “The whole thing is supposed to run on a dream logic reminiscent of Jean Cocteau or Ingmar Bergman, but rather than immersive or contemplative it’s just confusing and weird.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Aftersun (2022) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Evoking the early works of Lynne Ramsay and Andrea Arnold, writer-director Charlotte Wells leaves much of the subtext up to your imagination and just allows the actors’ performances to tell the real story.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review My Father's Dragon (2022) 87% 8/10 EDIT “With Disney veteran Meg LeFauve behind the screenplay, it’s easy to see why this one ended up being a bit more orthodox, but it remains an entertaining and aesthetically gorgeous movie for all ages.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Blue Jean (2022) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Rosy McEwen absolutely shines in what should be a star-making turn as a lesbian PE teacher struggling to keep her queerness secret as Section 28 starts to ramp up.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Bones and All (2022) 82% 6.5/10 EDIT “There are some wonderful and unforgettable moments in here, but as a whole it just doesn’t add up to a truly substantial movie.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Medusa Deluxe (2022) 72% 6/10 EDIT “There are some interesting characters, fun gags, and impressive cinematography at points, but this is just begging to be a little more over-the-top.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Casa Susanna (2022) 86% 3.5/10 EDIT “Unfortunately, it ends up mostly focusing on the superficial aspects of transness that cis filmmakers have always been obsessed with.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Out of Darkness (2022) 85% 2.5/10 EDIT “In its final moments it attempts to pull a big reveal that recontextualises the morals of our heroes, but it’s far too little far too late.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Corsage (2022) 85% 5/10 EDIT “Krieps herself delivers a compelling performance as the promiscuous and self-destructive royal, but there’s a severe lack of debauchery and decadence needed in a film with this subject matter; it’s all too reserved and safe.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review The Eternal Daughter (2022) 95% 6/10 EDIT “Shout-out to Carly-Sophia Davies as the stoic hotel receptionist, whose intensely laidback attitude never stops being funny.” – Alternative Lens Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% 10/10 EDIT “This is yet another stellar example of the murder mystery genre that expands on the views of its predecessor, whilst also delving deeper into Blanc’s mentality and creating a compelling cast of new characters to boot.” – Alternative Lens Oct 17, 2022 Full Review
