Clueless
(1995)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
With a huge impact on popular culture thanks to its fashion, performances, and stand-out soundtrack, Clueless is far smarter and wittier in its commentary on gender and class than its title would have you think.

Sonic the Hedgehog
(2020)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A tedious and entirely predictable film that in spite of its super-sonic hedgehog lead manages to feel dull and slow. A wasted Jim Carey fails to save a movie in which none of the characters inspires any sympathy.

Vivarium
(2020)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A postmodern mash-up of genres and aesthetic styles, Vivarium is a suburban horror story ideal for our capitalist - and pandemic - age.

The Perfect Candidate
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A powerful film about systems of oppression and personal emancipation with glorious cinematography and a stand-out lead performance.

Little Women
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A warm-hearted adaptation that sees the talented Gerwig directing with a keen eye for the parallels between women's lives in the 19th and 21st centuries. With stand-out performances from a wonderful cast, this is a charming and fresh take on Little Women.

The Two Popes
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A surprisingly humorous film that reflects on power and how people use and abuse it, The Two Popes delivers stand-out performances from Hopkins and Pryce while never quite succeeding in shedding the feeling of an over-long stage play.

Honey Boy
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
Alma Har'el's exquisite direction creates dreamy transitions between Otis's past and present in a meditation on cinema's power both to trigger and to heal.

Motherless Brooklyn
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A ponderous neo-noir that comes to life with rhythmic style thanks to some excellent performances and the discordant score

Ordinary Love
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A bleak but beautifully shot love story about surviving cancer and the harsh, day-to-day realities of sustaining romantic relationships with two excellent lead performances.

Terminator: Dark Fate
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A surprisingly progressive return to form for the Terminator franchise. Dark Fate goes back to its 90s roots and allows its female leads to shine in preposterous but comically camp action sequences.

Monos
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
Beautiful, intense, and surreal, Monos is a startling ensemble film about child soldiers that attacks the senses with its brutal imagery and eerie, scratching score.

Black and Blue
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
Despite Naomie Harris's best efforts, Black and Blue turns the harsh realities of racism and white supremacy into a spectacle that feels way off-target.

Animals
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A gorgeous, sometimes bitterly on the nose evocation of the choices women face when they want to grow up but can't stop having fun, Animals is a bold film in love with its two firebrand female leads.

The Hummingbird Project
(2018)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
In a film so dull it would make the flap of a hummingbird's wing feel liked it lasted for eternity, a stellar cast is squandered on shallow characters and a what-were-they-thinking script.

Photograph
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A languorous love letter to Mumbai that plays with the cinematic conventions of romance.

Stuber
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
An unfunny comedy of epic proportions... I watched this film so you didn't have to.

Sometimes Always Never
(2018)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A little too try-hard Wes-Anderson-whimsical in its visual style, Sometimes, Always, Never succeeds as a sweet and emotionally resonant tale about grief, loss, and remembering those who are still there.

Only You
(2018)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A well-observed and intimate film that, despite its painfully straight-white storytelling, invites us to share an emotional experience with its relatable characters.

Diego Maradona
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
An overtly (and sometimes over) sympathetic documentary that is ambitious in its attempt to humanise the man behind the myths.

The Dead Don't Die
(2019)
|
Rebecca Harrison
|
A millennial-friendly ironic mashup of deadpan comedy and zombie horror that offers a commentary on the climate emergency - and no matter what, it's going to end badly.
