Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Hamnet is a spiritual and powerful contemplation of love, death and grief that lingers long in the memory.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “It loses some of its vim and juice in the third act and is overlong but Eternity is the kind of movie that deserves repeat viewing to catch and savour those gags and ponder those philosophical and metaphysical questions. This is very smart film making.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “It trades far too much on former glories and gags that have long since passed into mock rock mythology but don’t forget - it’s such a fine line between stupid, and uh…clever.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “"Sophisticated stupid,'" is how producer Damon Ross describes these films and there's plenty of that on show here.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 25, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “...it’s no stretch (terrible pun intended) to say it’s the coolest looking MCU flick in far too long and it leaves previous efforts at turning the blue-suited nuclear family into a viable franchise looking very lacklustre indeed.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 23, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “[Alex Garland and Anthony Dod Mantle] have conjured up a fever dream of a film that somehow looks like a cross pollination of Mike Leigh realism, and the sickening surrealism of Straw Dogs and The Wicker Man.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “...Bono: Stories of Surrender is a refreshingly intimate close-up of a rock star flipping through his back pages and doing a very good job of charming the birds down from the gods and maybe even giving Bono haters pause for thought.” – RTÉ (Ireland) May 30, 2025 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “...this is very good document of an era you may think you’ve already know all about.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Drop is a neat little movie that recalls airborne thriller Red Eye and Colin Farrell’s Phone Booth and it has some of twitchy paranoia of Hitchcock and De Palma but with a thoroughly modern twist.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “The latest Bridget Jones movie is a warm and fuzzy romcom but it is also tinged with sadness and has some well observed lessons in love and ageing.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 19, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Dylanologists will point newcomers in the direction of documentaries Eat The Document and Don’t Look Back but this is a superior and well-constructed biopic that never forgets that it is all about the music. ” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Despite those awful ads for cat food, Williams remains a very, very good pop star and Better Man is mad, funny and sad. ” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “We’ve a long way to go on the Yellow Brick Road but Wicked already casts quite a spell.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 4/5 EDIT “Scott’s vision of ancient Rome explodes into widescreen life with a sprawling cast and a sense of scale and majesty.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 11, 2024 Full Review The Problem with People (2024) 72% 2.5/5 EDIT “... In the end, the problem with The Problem with People is that it stumbles far too often into Paddywhackery.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 9, 2024 Full Review The Wild Robot (2024) 97% 4/5 EDIT “It’s sweet, maybe too sweet, but it doesn’t skirt the harsh realities of nature and the fight for survival. ” – RTÉ (Ireland) Oct 19, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Both Stan and Strong are superlative. ” – RTÉ (Ireland) Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 2/5 EDIT “What follows is yet another retread of all too familiar Alien territory with some mumbo jumbo about natural selection and eugenics.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 55% 3/5 EDIT “Pierre Coffin still impresses doing the garbled Esperanto of the Minions.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% 3.5/5 EDIT “A near pitch perfect performance from Marisa Abela raises this warm and affectionate biopic of tragic retro torch singer Amy Winehouse above the usual standard of recent rock star flicks.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) 42% 2/5 EDIT “Anyone haunted, nay, scared witless by Hollywood’s risk averse dependence on sequels, franchises and spin-offs will turn white at this latest soulless manifestation of the once proud Ghostbusters.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 5/5 EDIT “[Dune 2] reaches a fever pitch of seductive strangeness and operatic drama. It’s a tragedy about the dangers of power and fanatism, a romance, and a superb action movie. Villeneuve’s audacious vision has set a new standard for the cinematic sci-fi epic.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Migration (2023) 73% 3/5 EDIT “There's plenty of laughs and some rather lovely animation in this anarchic adventure about a paddling of ducks who leave their homely New England pond to migrate to southern climes for the winter.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Priscilla (2023) 84% 4/5 EDIT “A star is born with Cailee Spaeny's portrayal of Priscilla Beaulieu, the 14-year-old schoolgirl who grew up to marry Elvis Presley, in Sofia Coppola’s ravishing and gothic tale of how teen dreams can very often turn toxic.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% 3.5/5 EDIT “Veteran director Ridley Scott unleashes his own Napoleon complex in this uneven but never less than thrilling account of the French military leader and dictator.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Nov 27, 2023 Full Review
