The War Between (2024) 89% EDIT “The War Between is a fresh perspective on the true, hidden, oft-forgotten cost of the American Civil War, a tribute to those who —literally and figuratively— found themselves in the crossfire.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Lilo & Stitch (2025) 72% EDIT “Whilst it’s difficult to justify remaking a bonafide classic animation, the fact remains that Lilo & Stitch is an incredibly fun film that has had families pouring into cinemas. Did this need to be made? Probably not – but it’s hard to not enjoy it.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Swimming Home (2024) 31% EDIT “By the time the credits roll, you’ll probably be wondering what Swimming Home is really about. And I’m not particularly left caring enough to find out.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 7, 2025 Full Review In the Shadow of the Cypress (2023) EDIT “A gentle, affecting story of kindness and compassion, In the Shadow of the Cypress is a work of art. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Scrap (2022) 98% EDIT “Farr from being a gloomy mood-sapper, Scrap offers rays of hope to all of its characters, realistic and satisfying resolutions to their issues. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% EDIT “Fede Álvarez further cements himself as one of horror’s hottest directors; when your filmography includes 2013’s Evil Dead, 2016’s Don’t Breathe, and now Alien: Romulus, there’s a pretty strong case to be made that a blank cheque project is well-earnt.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Sep 8, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2022) 83% EDIT “Speak No Evil is an excruciating watch, and one worth surrendering ourselves to. A provocative satire of middle-class sensibilities, it forces its audience to look inwards in a way hitherto unexplored.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Aug 9, 2024 Full Review The Echo (2023) 100% EDIT “Directed, written, produced, and edited by the multi award-winning Huezo, the documentary is a triumph in originality.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Aloners (2021) 98% EDIT “With strong, well-developed writing from Hong (who also edited the film) and an impressive performance from Gong –for which she deservedly won two acting awards– Aloners is an astute meditation on loneliness, work, and modernity.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Land of Mine (2015) 91% EDIT “World War II is perhaps the most well-trodden ground for historical cinema, yet Zandvliet (who also authored its astonishing screenplay) manages to find largely ungrazed pastures for the story...” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Tiger Stripes (2023) 97% EDIT “In the face of restrictive religious and conservative beliefs, self-alienation and miseducation naturally follow suit and as such, films such as Tiger Stripes become all the more important.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 11, 2024 Full Review A Family Affair (2024) 40% EDIT “A Family Affair is the culmination of decades of absurdist comedy, and its execution is a ridiculous set of events that lacks explosive consequences but is overflowing with delicious drama. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Música (2024) 96% EDIT “A refreshingly original exploration of synesthesia and Brazilian diaspora culture, Música is an amusing and agreeable feature-length debut for quadruple-duty mastermind Mancuso.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Immaculate (2024) 72% EDIT “Sister Cecilia conducts her own unmusical symphony of guttural screams, and we lay witness to possibly the most memorable ending in recent horror history. A subversion of the sacrosanct has never been so engrossing – or viscerally unnerving.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% EDIT “For much of its 167-minute runtime, the action builds itself up slowly but surely, teasingly incremental in its climb – but in its final act, Paul’s story hurtles its way towards a thunderous, earth-shattering climax.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Cobweb (2023) 76% EDIT “Underneath the laughs and lunacy, there's a very important discourse about censorship and authoritarianism; for cinema to live, it must be free. Free from external interference, from expressive restraint, and free to be as open and original as it wishes.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Upgraded (2024) 76% EDIT “Frankly, all that’s missing from Upgraded is an outtakes section for the closing credits. If we’re in the midst of a new romcom renaissance, it’s high time we brought back the bloopers reel.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Earth Protectors (2023) 75% EDIT “de Carbuccia’s film is as fascinating as it is gut-wrenching. We as the audience are not granted the ability to be passive viewers; whether we accept it or not, we all play our own individual parts –however large or small– in climate change...” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Blue Giant (2023) 100% EDIT “Blue Giant is a marvel, it is a joy, it is a spectacle. Helmed by director Yuzuru Tachikawa (of Mob Psycho 100 fame), it marks itself as a feat not only of animation, but also of cinematic scoring.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jan 20, 2024 Full Review Eden Lake (2008) 76% EDIT “To call Eden Lake ‘bleak’ would be to undersell it. Characters and audience alike, very little reprieve is offered from the lurking terror, the tension often hitting the ceiling but never settling back onto the floor.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Borrowed (2023) 75% EDIT “Despite its inconsistencies, Borrowed is an engaging thriller, and provides some thought-provoking moments.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Fingers in the Wind (2022) 100% EDIT “Fingers in the Wind thrives in its ambiguity, refusing to give any of its secrets away without any work, inserting cryptic poetic intertitles throughout.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 5, 2023 Full Review 8 A.M. Metro (2023) 78% EDIT “Despite teetering towards the edge of becoming overlong, the diaphanous poeticism that permeates every scene, thought, and word, is enough to keep things interesting. In a word: soothing. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 23, 2023 Full Review The Lunchbox (2013) 97% EDIT “A fantastic fusion of the culinary and epistolary, The Lunchbox is a reminder to us that love assumes many forms, and can be expressed in many ways.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Autumn Sonata (1978) 85% EDIT “Autumn Sonata may well be Bergman’s magnum opus.” – Battle Royale With Cheese May 19, 2023 Full Review
