Marty Supreme
(2025)

Safdie’s endeavour as a solo director is a nerve-shredding tale that never lets up on the protagonist’s goals, with Chalamet delivering his most compelling performance to date. As 2025 nears its end, Marty Supreme is a highlight in the cinematic calendar.

Among Disney's better animated sequels in recent years. Sharp, funny and incredibly fluffy, let's hope audiences don't have to wait almost a decade for another Hopps and Wilde adventure.

It is an inspiring story. One that may indeed result in others lacing up and hitting the mat. Even if the film's rallying cry is delivered with slightly muted tones.

Gorgeous, funny and poignant, Jackman's creative vision of Greenberg's graphic novel is a feast for the eyes. Along with its delightful cast, captivating story and its feminist themes, 100 Nights of Hero is more than your average folk tale adaptation.
