Emilia Pérez (2024)
Publish Date: October 24, 2024
"Bold, brassy, groundbreaking entertainment (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
The Goldman Case (2023)
Publish Date: October 24, 2024
"A film that is no less thrilling for its sober rigour (...) The screenplay (...) barely moves outside the court, but that focus lends its own claustrophobic tension to the piece (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Blitz (2024)
Publish Date: October 8, 2024
"Swells with the best of British and Irish talent ... and does good work investigating neglected corners of the wartime legend. But, for the most part, 'Blitz' ... turns out to be a disappointingly conventional affair (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Speak No Evil (2024)
Publish Date: September 9, 2024
"James Watkins’s version easily justifies its independent existence. Four first-rate performances find new energies in the story (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Wolfs (2024)
Publish Date: August 31, 2024
"Tolerable buddy comedy might better suit actors who shoulder their age less lightly (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Maria (2024)
Publish Date: August 28, 2024
"Angelina Jolie finally has the starring role she deserves (...) gives a heart-clutchingly sad performance in a hypnotic film from Pablo Larraín (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Blink Twice (2024)
Publish Date: August 25, 2024
"Zoë Kravitz’s ambitious directorial debut features an impressively starry cast (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Borderlands (2024)
Publish Date: August 7, 2024
"The problems mount when this wacko video-game adaptation decides it wants us to care about the stupid, stupid plot (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Sting (2024)
Publish Date: July 12, 2024
"A diverting entertainment that, unlike so much contemporary horror, is prepared to have a good time. Fun for all the family. Well, all the family over 16 (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Sleep (2023)
Publish Date: July 12, 2024
"We end with a hectic denouement that satisfies all desire for catharsis as it makes an art of creative doubt spreading. A fine chamber piece (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Something in the Water (2024)
Publish Date: June 19, 2024
"Unfortunately the characterisation is so thin and the dialogue so clunky that the thing plays more like one of those 1960s surf horrors (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Hounds (2023)
Publish Date: June 12, 2024
"A grim thrill rounded off with a chilling last shot (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)
Publish Date: June 3, 2024
"The new film places a huge array of brash, unlikable characters in a giant biscuit tin, shakes it until their heads crack and flings them towards nightmare (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024)
Publish Date: May 26, 2024
"Nyoni nudges her characters towards increasingly grim revelations but tempers that strain with a feisty zest of absurdity. Nyoni deserved her best-director prize"

Irish Times
Bird (2024)
Publish Date: May 16, 2024
"A film that showcases Arnold's gifts while allowing new and surprising elements. Few will resist the richness and fullness of her characterisation (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
The First Omen (2024)
Publish Date: April 3, 2024
"It hardly needs to be said that, as it goes on –the film loses coherence (...) But, coming a year or so after that catastrophic 'Exorcist' sequel, 'The First Omen' feels a lot better than it needed to be (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Mothers' Instinct (2024)
Publish Date: March 28, 2024
"Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain excel in psychodrama that's either ludicrous on purpose or just by accident (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Immaculate (2024)
Publish Date: March 20, 2024
"A disgustingly good scoop-their-eyeballs-out horror (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Kneecap (2024)
Publish Date: January 18, 2024
"This is the right way for a pop group (let's call them that) to move to the big screen (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Irish Times
Freelance (2023)
Publish Date: December 28, 2023
"You would get more sparks from rubbing a wet flannel with a wetter rock. But try it anyway. It could hardly be more tedious than waiting for Freelance to crawl to its predictable denouement. (...) Rating: *(out of 5)"
