The Vortex (2025) Alyse Wax Ultimately, The Vortex is supposed to be about struggles of a gambling addict. Instead, it really just shows the average day in the life of a gambler.

The Kiss of a Vampire (2025) Alyse Wax A bland vampire story with terrible sex scenes. An all-around tedious watch.

The Mannequin (2025) Alyse Wax This film poses more questions than answers.

3/5
Super Happy Fun Clown (2025) Matthew Turner An entertaining killer clown-slash-serial killer horror that succeeds on the strength of its central performance and a couple of nice ideas

3/5
The Best of The Best-Jazz From Detroit (2025) Matthew Turner It’s fair to say that the film caters more towards audiences who are already a little jazz-savvy, and if that’s the case, this will be something of a treat

1/5
Unbanked (2025) Matthew Turner The best part of the entire film – whether by accident or design – is the closing shot of a sign that reads “Beware of possible alligators”. Beware, indeed.

Pursued (2025) Matthew Turner With a prevailing wind, it could end up with a cult following.

Finding Nicole (2025) Matthew Turner The chilling statistics in the captions at the end might just be the film’s scariest element.

1/5
Betray: Thirst (2025) Matthew Turner This is ultimately a frustrating experience, since it squanders so much of its own potential and doesn’t really seem to know which story it wants to tell.

2/5
American Night (2021) Matthew Turner Michael Madsen invests his small but crucial role with enough of old magic that you hope he gets offered some juicier roles in future projects as a result.

2.5/5
Saint Nick of Bethlehem (2024) Matthew Turner The stand-out in the cast – and a stroke of genius by the casting department – is Cathy Moriarty, who’s an absolute delight as Nick’s wise-cracking mother.

Brave the Dark (2023) Matthew Turner A superbly acted, powerfully emotional story that beautifully illustrates the transformative power of kindness and understanding.

3/5
Good Side of Bad (2023) Matthew Turner A sensitively directed and quietly moving story about an imperfect, slightly fractured family...[with] an effective and powerful message about accepting the need for help

2.5/5
Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (2024) Matthew Turner The script may be overly simplistic, but this is a decently made biopic whose heart is clearly in the right place. If you’re looking for an undemanding feelgood drama that might make you shed a tear or two, this has got you covered.
Posted Aug 06, 2024  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Sight (2023) Matthew Turner This is a watchable drama about an inspirational true story, but the script could probably have used another pass, as it’s hard not to be frustrated by the amount of wasted potential.

2/5
The Last Keeper (2024) Matthew Turner It’s difficult to imagine the film appealing to anyone who doesn’t already have a vested interest in the Scottish Highlands.
Posted Aug 06, 2024  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Stix (2024) Matthew Turner Considering the extremely low budget, the film stands as quite the achievement, with the realistic dialogue adding considerably to the film’s documentary-like quality and the real-life locations adding an extra level of authenticity.

3/5
Effigy: Poison and the City (2019) Matthew Turner Worth seeing thanks to the central performances, the chilling nature of the true story and a small handful of great scenes
Posted May 27, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
The Reverend (2021) Matthew Turner Ultimately, the film leaves you with a portrait of a unique and fascinating figure, and Anderson’s vision of shared music as a profoundly spiritual, deeply human experience.

3/5
Detained (2024) Matthew Turner You’ll probably see some of [the multiple twists and turns] coming, but that doesn’t make them any less enjoyable in the moment.
Posted May 06, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
Escape From Extinction (2020) Matthew Turner The film has a specific point to prove and often feels promotional in tone, but it’s also well researched and packed with both great wildlife footage and interesting information.
Posted Mar 11, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
Cabrini (2024) Matthew Turner You’ll be hard pressed not to find yourself rushing out to do some good deed or other after watching the film.
Posted Feb 13, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
The Dirty South (2023) Matthew Turner Willa Holland has terrific screen presence – she was always the best thing about the Arrow TV show – and she’s on magnificent form here
Posted Jan 26, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
You, Me & Her (2023) Matthew Turner A thoughtful, provocative and ultimately moving marital drama that feels more realistic and more honest than any number of Hollywood romcoms.
Posted Jan 16, 2024  Edit critic review
2/5
The Shift (2023) Matthew Turner This is a watchable sci-fi thriller, enlivened by strong performances and some nice ideas, but it fails to satisfy on a dramatic or emotional level
Posted Dec 27, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Mid-Century (2022) Matthew Turner This intriguing horror plays some entertaining games with genre expectations and pulls off a handful of decent twists in the process.
Posted Nov 28, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Young, Sexy, and Dead (2023) Matthew Turner A darkly comic, gleefully absurd and frequently amusing satire that hits its targets with surprising accuracy.
Posted Nov 19, 2023  Edit critic review
1/5
Altered Perceptions (2023) Matthew Turner Generally speaking, the film makes no sense at all from one minute to the next, with the scenes barely even relating to each other.
Posted Nov 09, 2023  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Marvels (2023) Matthew Turner The Marvels frequently undersells its key moments, but the engaging chemistry between the leads and DaCosta’s snappy pacing ensure that it’s never less than entertaining.
Posted Nov 08, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Alexander (2023) Matthew Turner A gripping story that is equal parts inspirational and shot through with deep personal tragedy.
Posted Oct 02, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Mob Land (2023) Matthew Turner An intriguingly dark small-town thriller with a compellingly downbeat, nasty edge. It also marks out writer-director Nicholas Maggio as a talent to watch.
Posted Sep 18, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
Ferrari (2023) Matthew Turner Adam Driver is on typically splendid form here, nailing Ferrari’s distinctive accent and creating a complex, charismatic character, torn in several different directions.
Posted Aug 31, 2023  Edit critic review
5/5
Oppenheimer (2023) Matthew Turner The supporting cast are astonishing, particularly Downey Jr, who is on career best form as Strauss – his Best Supporting Actor nomination is surely already in the bag.
Posted Aug 08, 2023  Edit critic review
The Seeds of Vandana Shiva (2021) Alonso Duralde Shiva’s story is so compelling — and Shiva herself is such a commanding yet warm figure on camera — that the documentary’s straightforwardness doesn’t hinder a narrative that could inspire for environmentalists, feminists, and anti-corporate activists.
Posted Jul 31, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
Stay Awake (2022) Matthew Turner A sharply observed and quietly moving indie drama that’s well worth seeking out, thanks to a thoughtful script and compelling performances from its three leads.
Posted Jul 31, 2023  Edit critic review
JazzTown (2021) Alonso Duralde Clearly a labor of love – filming took place over more than a decade – the doc never quite finds its footing; the passion its maker has for this music doesn’t flow from the finished product.
Posted Jul 03, 2023  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Asteroid City (2023) Matthew Turner Just when you think a Wes Anderson movie couldn’t possibly be any more of a Wes Anderson movie – as was the case with the note-perfect magazine-like structure of The French Dispatch – he goes and does it again, only more so.
Posted Jun 24, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Discontinued (2022) Matthew Turner A thoughtful, smartly acted drama that’s worth seeking out.
Posted Jun 24, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Simulant (2023) Matthew Turner This Canadian sci-fi thriller has some nice ideas and explores some compelling themes, though it’s also a little unfocused and never quite delivers the expected robo-thrills.
Posted Jun 21, 2023  Edit critic review
1/5
The Devil's Tongue (2023) Matthew Turner In fairness, Gowdy deserves all the credit for actually getting his movie made in the first place, though he now faces the equally difficult challenge of getting it distributed.
Posted Jun 12, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Matthew Turner A genuinely thrilling sequel that once again sets the bar extremely high for inventive and imaginative animation.
Posted Jun 07, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Wildflower (2022) Matthew Turner The clear stand-outs are Jean Smart and Jackie Weaver as the acerbic grandmothers. Their every scene together is a delight, to the point where you fervently hope someone casts them both in something again soon. Hell, maybe give them their own TV show?
Posted May 24, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
Fast X (2023) Matthew Turner Jason Momoa proves an inspired choice as Dante, and he throws himself into the role with great gusto, clearly enjoying every second of it.
Posted May 17, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Boonie Bears: Back to Earth (2022) Matthew Turner Its wholesome messages include a none-too-subtle eco plea about looking after the planet and the touching notion that an enormous bear hug can save the world. And really, who can argue with that?
Posted May 08, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Mind Leech (2023) Matthew Turner This is an engaging and fun little monster movie that deserves to find an audience. It also marks out Cheeseman and Krysinski as horror talents to watch – here’s hoping they get to make a follow-up.
Posted Apr 28, 2023  Edit critic review
2/5
The Green Oak Guardian (2023) Matthew Turner The two leads do at least have a decent amount of chemistry, meaning the film just about succeeds as a sweet romance, even if some of its other ambitions fall short.
