4/5
All American (2024) Victoria Luxford Equal parts uplifting and frustrating, All American gives an authentic and passionate tribute to those who overcome immense obstacles to pursue their dreams.

3/5
Growing Pains (2024) Victoria Luxford Wobbles aside, Growing Pains paints a largely authentic picture of the complications of modern adolescence, putting characters rather than hyperbole at the centre of the story.

If You Should Leave Before Me (2025) Victoria Luxford With an ending that will bring a tear to your eye, this movie confronts grief in a way that never comes close to being maudlin, with filmmakers who can bring even the toughest subjects vividly to life.

4/5
Light Up (2024) Victoria Luxford Living up to its title, Light Up comes at a crucial time in the United States, where LGBTQ+ rights seem to be under attach daily. With this in mind, these five stories remind both Queer audience members and allies just what they are fighting for.

Why Not? (1977) Victoria Luxford A bold and thoughtful movie even nearly half a century after its release, Why Not focuses on the people beneath the labels, offering something far richer than most Queer-themed cinema can manage.

4/5
Manden der tænkte ting (1969) Victoria Luxford Claustrophobic and intense, The Man Who Thought Life follows through on an interesting premise, pulling the viewer into its strange world and keeping you gripped until the final frame.

4/5
The Problem of the Hero (2023) Victoria Luxford It’s not perfect from a cinematic perspective... However, as a theological discussion committed to film, The Problem Of The Hero leaves an impression that will last for days after watching.

4/5
Murderers Among Us (1946) Victoria Luxford The Murderers Are Among Us remains a captivating piece of cinema history. Its message of personal and national responsibility is one that could ring true for much of society today, if we are prepared to listen.

3/5
Hello Beautiful (2025) Victoria Luxford Hello Beautiful will be a difficult watch for anyone who has been touched by cancer in some way, but beneath certain narrative flaws there is an underlying message that is hard not to be inspired by.

4/5
Confesiones Chin Chin (2024) Victoria Luxford Feeling like the film version of attending an exciting party, Confesiones Chin Chin celebrates bearing your soul in a manner that never feels forced or theatrical.

Celebration (2024) Victoria Luxford A sleek and intelligent movie that both explores the past, and warns about the future.

3.5/5
Last Party (2024) Victoria Luxford Last Party has a lot of ambition, turning the high school/teen drama on its head, while also treating those in that age bracket with more respect than you would normally see in Hollywood productions.

4/5
Tiny Lights (2024) Victoria Luxford Tiny Lights feels authentically rooted in the wonder of childhood, while scattering elements of something much more complicated.

4/5
The Birds Who Fear Death (2024) Victoria Luxford Offering a surprise twist in the third act that will prompt some discussion, The Birds Who Fear Death takes the framework of a road movie and creates something much more substantial.

Steppenwolf (2024) Joshua Polanski Steppenwolf interrogates the relationship between comedy and violence.

3/5
Natatorium (2024) Joshua Polanski There is a softness to the creepy images. It’s as if they caress you before incising into more disturbing terrain and carving a place into your memory along the way.

5/5
All We Imagine as Light (2024) Joshua Polanski The iconoclastic women of All We Imagine As Light bludgeon the stereotypical images of Bollywood and Hollywood.

4/5
A Two Hearted Tale (2022) Victoria Luxford As pleasant as sitting in a fishing boat with a cold beer, A Two Hearted Tale is the sort of localised story that won’t be available to directors in the years to come. Then again, in a film that yearns for the way things were, that’s part of the charm

4/5
National Anthem (2023) Victoria Luxford National Anthem doesn’t ask the viewer for rage, pity, or consideration of its subjects. Instead, it offers a portrait of Queer joy in all its many facets that seems to be a rarity in even the most daring of films.
Posted Jun 10, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
The Contestant (2023) Victoria Luxford The Contestant can’t help but be a captivating watch, that entertains and repulses in ways that few documentaries do.

4/5
The Dead Don't Hurt (2023) Victoria Luxford Had the storytelling been more linear, The Dead Don’t Hurt would have been a more straightforward recommendation,... As it is, Mortensen’s sophomore outing shows scrappy ambition, combined with two performances that raise the quality to the next level.

4/5
Sex With Sue (2022) Victoria Luxford (the film) chuckles at sex, with the understanding that it should be fun. Johanson, who filmed interviews for the documentary prior to her death in June, remains a fascinating subject whose colourful personality belies just how many people owe her thanks.

4/5
We Are Guardians (2023) Victoria Luxford A thoughtful, if emotionally frustrating documentary...films like this rightly celebrate those looking to save us all.

4/5
My Name is Alfred Hitchcock (2022) Victoria Luxford A treasure trove of trivia, My Name is Alfred Hitchcock invites you to look at the artist from a different angle, away from the persona that he cultivated over the years.
Posted Jun 26, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Punch (2022) Victoria Luxford There’s no escaping the familiar route Punch takes with its story of forbidden love... However, Ings’s localisation of this universal issue gives the film character, combined with a well-chosen cast that provide a hefty blow, if not exactly a knockout.
Posted Dec 15, 2022  Edit critic review
3/5
When We Speak (2022) Victoria Luxford When We Speak has aspirations that seem too complex for the running time. However, given the effects of all these scandals are still felt, it is a conversation it is right to continue.

4/5
Dogwatch (2022) Victoria Luxford A unique directing debut from Rentis, Dogwatch’s premise doesn’t sound exciting, but its ability to find a human story amongst the waves means it becomes a delight to watch, and a triumph of directorial execution.

4/5
Winners (2022) Victoria Luxford an entertaining adventure that has a lot going on beneath the surface. A story of magic being found in the most unlikely of places, the shining gold statuette at the centre of the piece provides a stark contrast that will make you think as well as smile.

Compartment No. 6 (2021) Victoria Luxford Well-acted and directed with care, its a train ride with a lot going on beneath the surface.

4/5
King Richard (2021) Victoria Luxford History is written by the victors, and Williams remarkable journey deserves just as much generosity on screen as the many other biopics that gloss over the negatives. An uplifting portrait of The American Dream.

West Side Story (2021) Victoria Luxford (West Side Story proves that) Spielberg can still muster the kind of wonder that made his name. However, the hallowed status of his inspiration means those efforts may be sacrificed at the altar of comparison.

Drive My Car (2021) Victoria Luxford Drive My Car's brilliance lies in its celebration of the dirtiness of life, and how our greatest triumphs exist in simply carrying on.

Souad (2020) Victoria Luxford Life is complicated, contradictory, and in some cases dirty. Souad doesnt turn away from that, and is all the better for it.

1/5
Vanquish (2021) Victoria Luxford Poorly thought out in every aspect, Vanquish lures you in with recognisable names, only to be disappointed by a story thats terribly conceived and executed in a similar fashion.

1/5
The Virtuoso (2021) Victoria Luxford Theres really very little to recommend The Virtuoso, a film that contents itself with being a vague approximation of better films that have come before.

4/5
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) Victoria Luxford Whereas many 1990s comedies might draw a horrified wince from future generations, the film is relatively unproblematic. At least, for a film featuring penis pumps and literal toilet humour.

Ammonite (2020) Victoria Luxford Despite the efforts of two wonderful actors, it is perhaps destined to be one of those films that becomes lost in the awards season shuffle.

Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021) Victoria Luxford In the small time each chapter is given, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasys quiet drama will leave a lasting impression.

Willy's Wonderland (2021) Victoria Luxford It has the potential to be a cult hit that furthers the legend of its truly unique lead.

3/5
You Cannot Kill David Arquette (2020) Victoria Luxford Despite an ending that hints at triumph, its clear that there is a far more personal journey that this film should have focused on... (you) hope that he works out his issues, so that this is a new chapter rather than an epitaph.

Monsoon (2019) Victoria Luxford This movie is in no hurry to explore the remnants of a lifetime, but Goldings travels will speak to many who have questioned the idea of home.

1.5/5
The New Mutants (2020) Victoria Luxford With only the loosest connections to Wolverine and Co., this is a house full of characters waiting for something to come along, and when it does the stakes seem non-existent.

5/5
Babyteeth (2019) Victoria Luxford So much of what this film has to say is reflected in terrified looks in the mirror, or trailed off, clumsy sentences. It feels human, and beds you in before hitting you in the gut with a devastating final half hour.

3/5
An American Pickle (2020) Victoria Luxford An interesting tonal stew, An American Pickle gets lost along the way trying to pastiche trends that already feel out of date. However, theres an honestly to its message, and the dual performances of its star.

4/5
Perfect 10 (2019) Victoria Luxford Perfect 10 explores gritty, uncomfortable questions with a light hand, showing the people rather the predicament. Its a great example of what happens when different voices are heard, behind and in front of the camera.

Summerland (2020) Victoria Luxford Beneath the surface is something richer. It is in the subplots and character development that this story begins to soar.

2.5/5
Stage Mother (2020) Victoria Luxford (Set in) an idealised world that wraps you up in easy solutions, and good humour. The film becomes a comforting lets-put-on-a-show dramedy, where everyone pitches in to turn the clubs fortunes around, and learns a little something on the way.
Posted Feb 17, 2022  Edit critic review
4/5
Litigante (2019) Victoria Luxford Colombian drama Litigante moves at a speed that may be a little too luxurious for those used to a diet of Jedis and Avengers, but the themes will resonate regardless of your background.

5/5
Hamilton (2020) Victoria Luxford The concept is far from being a gimmick, it is a living, heart-stopping masterpiece that uses culture of the present to tell stories from the past.
