Bull
(2021)
Publish Date: November 5, 2021
"Paul Andrew Williams and Neil Maskell breathe new life into a familiar scenario. Unrelenting, no-nonsense and hard-as-nails —just like its eponymous anti-hero (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
Spencer
(2021)
Publish Date: November 1, 2021
"Though it doesn't ever make you really feel, [it] is a bold, compassionate, poetic riposte to standard royal biopics. It also confirms Kristen Stewart as one of the most exciting actors working today (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
The French Dispatch
(2021)
Publish Date: October 19, 2021
"A designed-to-within-an-inch-of its-life delight. If it lacks a compelling story, only one filmmaker could have made this film. And, in these cookie-cutter-director days, it's a vision to be cherished (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
The Velvet Underground
(2021)
Publish Date: October 15, 2021
"Hypnotic but clear-eyed, finding a different way to put a musical biography on film. And for all its radical formalism, it never forgets to be entertaining (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
Halloween Kills
(2021)
Publish Date: October 14, 2021
"Despite the odd fun bit of bloodshed, 'Halloween Kills' is mostly tired, tedious and an insult to everything John Carpenter got right first time round (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"
Empire
The Addams Family 2
(2021)
Publish Date: October 7, 2021
"Ironically, given the mantra for its main characters is about embracing the weird, [it] does little that is out-there or different, delivering a safe, stale 93 minutes. It never actually clicks (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"
Empire
The Story of Looking
(2021)
Publish Date: September 17, 2021
"A persuasive argument that we see differently in different stages of our lives. 'The Story Of Looking' is fascinating, thought-provoking stuff, told in Cousins' engaging, typically impish way (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
Prisoners of the Ghostland
(2021)
Publish Date: September 17, 2021
"Brilliant and rubbish. Cage is in his element, it has visual invention to spare, and the fight scenes are fun, but it’s a shame such imagination is tethered to equally all-over-the-place storytelling (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
Empire
Dear Evan Hansen
(2021)
Publish Date: September 10, 2021
"'Dear Evan Hansen' gives enjoyable, tuneful voice to important modern-day concerns but lacks the dramatic and cinematic chops to really take flight (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
Empire
Copshop
(2021)
Publish Date: September 10, 2021
"A simple, effective thriller, Copshop doubles down on pulpy, ’70s-styled fun. It proffers little that is novel but has enough vim and vigour to compensate (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
Empire
Enforcement
(2020)
Publish Date: September 3, 2021
"An exciting, well-crafted policier, full of inventive action, but also thoughtful and sensitive (...) After an artsy opening, Ølholm and Hviid deliver urgent, matter-of-fact filmmaking (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
Wildfire
(2020)
Publish Date: September 3, 2021
"Sometimes it bites off more than it can chew (...) The thing that stays with you is the complex co-dependent sisterly relationship (...) Despite some missteps, 'Wildfire' is lit (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)""
Empire
Annette
(2021)
Publish Date: September 2, 2021
"The most original film of 2021, 'Annette' is a ride like no other, a spellbinding waltz in a storm. See it for truly hypnotic filmmaking, a clutch of great songs and Adam Driver at his most magnetic (…) Rating: ***** (out of 5)"
Empire
The Nest
(2020)
Publish Date: August 24, 2021
"[It] eschews conventional storytelling in favour of a sophisticated, more elliptical approach (...) It requires patience, but offers bountiful rewards (...) Performed to perfection by Law and Coon (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
The Night House
(2020)
Publish Date: August 19, 2021
"Bruckner's filmmaking is elegant (...) Although let down by muddled plotting, 'The Night House' is a low-key, well-made thoughtful horror flick, excellently played by Rebecca Hall (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
Empire
CODA
(2021)
Publish Date: August 13, 2021
"Two parts raw and real, one part manipulative, 'CODA' finds engaging characters and real emotions in a hackneyed narrative arc. See it, though, for a terrific turn from Emilia Jones (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
Empire
Wildland
(2020)
Publish Date: August 13, 2021
"'Wildland' is an original, a compelling gangster film unusually driven by women and told in stark, measured strokes. A unique calling card for director Jeanette Nordahl (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
Bye Bye Morons
(2020)
Publish Date: July 29, 2021
"'Bye Bye Morons' is a wild jaunt that segues into something much more sincere. Come for the laughs, stay for the feels (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
Here We Are
(2020)
Publish Date: July 23, 2021
"Small in focus and cinematic ambition, 'Here We Are' emerges as a tender, touching portrait of a father and son relationship in transition, perfectly performed by its two leads (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
Empire
Riders of Justice
(2020)
Publish Date: July 20, 2021
"A dialled-down performance from Mikkelsen that gives his sidekicks space to shine (...) This film is an oddball delight. It’s by turns ultra-violent then drily funny and surprisingly wise (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
