Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 93% 4/5 EDIT “High-octane effects and nifty dialogue power a meta narrative that lifts the Spider-Man universe into more emotionally-charged territory.” – The List Dec 17, 2021 Full Review Black Power: A British Story of Resistance (2021) 100% 3/5 EDIT “This film may suffer from a potential déjà vu but it's no less damning of the racism prevalent in British society and within its institutions in the post-war period.” – The List Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “If this documentary brings them some degree of closure, then it will have done more good in its 50 minutes than many of those who hounded her will achieve in their lifetime.” – The List Mar 18, 2021 Full Review Offended by Irvine Welsh (2020) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Everyone involved makes a decent, rational case for their view to the point that you start to wonder what everyone is actually arguing about. Nuance might not be welcome on social media, but it's perfectly at home in a Sky Arts doc.” – The List Nov 18, 2020 Full Review Black Classical Music: The Forgotten History (2020) 80% 4/5 EDIT “In this excellent 90-minute documentary, the lives of black classical musicians and composers are finally being made to matter.” – Radio Times Oct 7, 2020 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “This is a thorough look at a governing party that might yet be fatally damaged over this affair with its former figurehead.” – The List Aug 21, 2020 Full Review A Christmas Carol (2018) 52% 4/5 EDIT “This remoulding of A Christmas Carol is a welcome and wintry depiction of torment.” – The List Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Between Two Ferns: The Movie (2019) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Galifianakis is the chat-show host from hell, a sullen presence reading his highly invasive and often inappropriate queries straight from a bit of paper, allowing for zero chemistry to spark between himself and his guests.” – The List Sep 26, 2019 Full Review 100 Vaginas (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “As a gateway into knowing the body part that might be spoken of the most but is probably understood the least, 100 Vaginas is an important and occasionally revelatory documentary.” – The List Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Stand Up, Girl! (C'est tout pour moi !) (2016) 3/5 EDIT “An intriguing movie narrative about overcoming socially-constructed barriers and the benefits of perseverance.” – The List Feb 21, 2018 Full Review The Child in Time (2017) 79% 3/5 EDIT “The Child in Time feels like a lost opportunity to have made a classic slice of 80s British fiction further enriched for today's audience.” – The List Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Don't Think Twice (2016) 98% 4/5 EDIT “A poignant treatise upon friendship, loyalty, ambition and regret.” – The List Jun 8, 2017 Full Review Where You're Meant to Be (2016) 92% 4/5 EDIT “This funny, moving and occasionally cringeworthy viewing experience serves both Stewart and Moffat wonderfully well.” – The List Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Point and Shoot (2014) 72% 2/5 EDIT “Some of the footage succeeds in presenting the real dangers VanDyke put himself in, but it's telling that the most potent moment is the camera-phone video of a blood-drenched Gaddafi being caught by rebels while trying to flee.” – The List Jan 15, 2015 Full Review We Are the Giant (2014) 68% 4/5 EDIT “The question posed throughout this film is whether there comes a time in every peaceful campaign that some form of armed struggle becomes almost inevitable.” – The List Nov 11, 2014 Full Review
