Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3/5 EDIT “Driven by a boss Jeremy Allen White performance, Scott Cooper’s Bruce Springsteen biopic — just like its subject — finds its true voice once it stops trying to play the hits.” – Empire Magazine Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Sam Crane and Pinny Grylls’ feature co-directorial debut is a riotously funny, unexpectedly poignant ode to gaming, Shakespeare, the indestructible nature of art, and the benefits of befriending bazooka wielding extraterrestrials.” – Empire Magazine Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Mob Land (2023) 47% 2/5 EDIT “In the world of Mob Land, nothing good lasts. Disappointingly, despite the cast’s best efforts and a few striking visual flourishes, nothing good lasts in the film itself either.” – Empire Magazine Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Puffin Rock and the New Friends (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Long since dubbed the Irish Studio Ghibli, Cartoon Saloon’s latest may just be their own My Neighbor Totoro — an elemental, gentle, and incredibly cute animated adventure for all the family.” – Empire Magazine Aug 14, 2023 Full Review Allelujah (2022) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Dame Judi Dench can’t save a film whose third act so spectacularly nosedives into “Batshit-Craziest Story Choices Ever Put On Film Hall Of Fame” territory.” – Empire Magazine Mar 17, 2023 Full Review The Strays (2023) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Despite messy plotting and occasional ill focus, fantastic lead performances help The Strays find its way before a knockout ending really carries Martello-White’s eye-catching debut home.” – Empire Magazine Mar 1, 2023 Full Review The Old Way (2023) 33% 2/5 EDIT “Though Cage and Armstrong’s father-daughter dynamic merits praise, The Old Way tries so hard to emulate Westerns past that it squanders a gilt-edged opportunity to do something new.” – Empire Magazine Jan 13, 2023 Full Review The Enforcer (2022) 32% 2/5 EDIT “Despite Banderas’ best efforts and some stylish camerawork, this is nothing like a good crime thriller.” – Empire Magazine Jan 6, 2023 Full Review Anything's Possible (2022) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Buoyed by its leads’ fizzing chemistry and infectious spirit, Billy Porter’s directorial debut may be flawed, but its feel-good vibes and charm make it prime for comfort viewing.” – Empire Magazine Jul 24, 2022 Full Review This Much I Know To Be True (2022) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Musically sublime, gracefully directed, and filled with an inspiring optimism that couldn’t be more timely, this is another first-class exercise in capturing music on film from Dominik, Cave and Ellis.” – Empire Magazine May 11, 2022 Full Review The Adam Project (2022) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Though a forgettable villain and some uninspiring set-pieces sometimes hinder The Adam Project, Reynolds and Scobell’s cracking performances and the film’s surprising emotional depth make it worth a look.” – Empire Magazine Mar 10, 2022 Full Review Mass (2021) 95% 4/5 EDIT “It may be a tough watch, but, boasting a quartet of excellent performances, Fran Kranz's directorial debut is a technically adept, emotionally exhausting yet deeply cathartic film that couldn't be more timely.” – Empire Magazine Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires (2018) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Chuck Steel's claymation carnage and genre-spoofing shenanigans are great fun, but its repetitious, offensive jokes dilute the fun.” – Empire Magazine Nov 2, 2021 Full Review The Beta Test (2021) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Whilst occasionally breathless to the point of exhausting, there's nothing second-rate aboutThe Beta Test, asharp satire on the film industry that really packs a punch.” – Empire Magazine Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Boys from County Hell (2020) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Combining genuine emotional stakes, biting black humour and enough blood and dismembered limbs to satisfy even seasoned gorehounds, Chris Baugh's terrific, unorthodox vampire flick has got it where it Counts.” – Empire Magazine Aug 6, 2021 Full Review The Woman in the Window (2021) 25% 2/5 EDIT “Pretty cinematography and a committed performance from Amy Adams fail to save The Woman In The Window, a film that aims for Hitchcockian thrills and lands in afternoon TV territory.” – Empire Magazine May 17, 2021 Full Review
