Florence Pugh gives another magnetic performance in this hard hitting redemption drama, written and directed by Zach Braff. Aided and abetted by Morgan Freeman, an otherwise average melodrama is elevated by two movie stars on top form.

Boston Strangler has more to say than some might think by promoting a forthright, focused, and professionally progressive approach in those central performances. Roles which are only made to look easy by Knightley and Coon, purely because they embody them so effortlessly.

Taron Egerton and Toby Jones make Tetris one of the most intriguing video game movies for some time. Slick, savvy, and with no shortage of dry wit - audiences should lap this up.

Brooding, powerful, and every inch the Americana melodrama - Devil’s Peak packs a punch and just keeps on coming.

This complex political thriller from writer/director Eromose falls just short of greatness.

As movie star Sophie Wilder, Monica Barbaro is effortlessly charming, while Diego Boneta imbues assistant hotel manager Alejandro with equal amounts of charisma. 10 times better than audiences will expect, At Midnight is worth a watch.

Piled high with plot twists and packed full of peerless performances, Sharper brings together Sebastian Stan, Julianne Moore, and John Lithgow in a brooding long con thriller from Apple. Delivering something fresh from the streaming service, which continues to champion originality without limits.

The Integrity of Joseph Chambers' is a staggering study of fractured masculinity.

The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic is unlike any rom-com ever made, being blessedly free from formula, devoid of meet-cute dynamics, and disarmingly tragic in its set-up. That being said, it is also the most inspired and inspiring piece of bittersweet comedy romance ever made, defined by unwavering optimism and unrivaled hope in the face of God-given adversity.

Tried, tested, and uninspiring - this four way relationship drama goes over old ground.

Landscape with Invisible Hand is more social commentary than alien infused rom-com. With some solid performances from Chloe Rogers and Assante Blackk, this adaptation of the M T Anderson novel will offer audiences food for thought.

This vibrant indie rom-com from director Raine Allen Miller dives into the cultural melting pot of a globally recognized city, yet showcases it through the eyes of Yas (Vivian Oparah) and Dom (David Jonsson). Slick, funny, and charming - 'Rye Lane' is one to watch.

Filled with awe-inspiring imagery, and a heartbreaking real-life tragedy, 'The Deepest Breath' is powerful stuff.

Powerful, provocative, and libel to promote debate - 'Cat Person' is a film with plenty to say. Directed by Susanna Fogel and adapted from the short story by Kristen Roupenian, this features Emilia Jones and Nicholas Braun in a hard hitting tale.

Fragmented, incoherent, and disjointed in the worst way, ‘Bad Behavior’ allows Jennifer Connelly and Ben Whitshaw a narrow escape. Writer and director Alice Englert wastes some world class talent, in a story which never really hangs together.

With Squaring The Circle, Anton Corbijn continues mining the musical past to celebrate his unsung heroes. In this case, he uses the documentary to explore artwork pioneers Hipgnosis, who made history with their innovative approach to album cover design.

For now, audiences will have to make do with this considered slice of comedy-drama, which throws up some familiar questions without actually digging deep enough to offer up anything conclusive.

In a completely calculated way, this feature length stab at the MTV show remains intentionally average and overtly unchallenging – as it never seeks to overshadow the imminent new entry from showrunner Davis.

If anything, Sometimes I Think About Dying is an ultimately optimistic film, which feels life affirming and poignant in parts. That it also affords Ridley one of the best roles she has had in recent memory, only makes this more of an intriguing proposition.

Babylon might be messy, but original film making doesn't come much better than this.

With some solid turns from Rebel Wilson and Charlotte Gainsbourg, The Almond and the Seahorse explores the idea of living with long term brain trauma.

Unfortunately, Smith’s would-be comeback vehicle is hamstrung by a weak script, paper-thin characters, and gets caught too often being overly earnest rather than emotionally honest, something that ultimately taints the integrity of the endeavor and will leave audiences disappointed.
