Tollbooth (2021) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Ryan Andrew Hooper's debut feature is perfect for film aficionados looking for a light bite of entertainment. Eighty-three minutes of swearing, gore and just enough twists to keep you on your toes.” – The Arts Desk Aug 30, 2021 Full Review Black Bear (2020) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It's a lot easier to switch channels than walk out of a screening. Viewers looking for an easy watch with the guy from Girls and the girl from Parks and Rec are in for a rude awakening. But it's worth it.” – The Arts Desk May 17, 2021 Full Review Baby Done (2020) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Hunt it out if you can, there's nothing better to chase away the winter blues than some proper Kiwi comedy.” – The Arts Desk Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Mogul Mowgli (2020) 93% 4/5 EDIT “It's not afraid to take risks with presentation and narrative, subverting viewer expectations and risking alienation.” – The Arts Desk Nov 26, 2020 Full Review The Secret Garden (2020) 66% 4/5 EDIT “The haunting atmosphere plays as a neat counterpoint to the healing nature of the garden.” – The Arts Desk Oct 26, 2020 Full Review Eternal Beauty (2019) 79% 4/5 EDIT “As a visual and audio experience, Eternal Beauty is simply stunning.” – The Arts Desk Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Miss Juneteenth (2020) 99% EDIT “It's a universal story of familial love, told and performed with deftness and real personality.” – The Arts Desk Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Young Ahmed (2019) 58% 3/5 EDIT “What remains is a story of rehabilitation, well-directed and acted, but a missed opportunity all the same.” – The Arts Desk Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Come as You Are (2019) 94% 4/5 EDIT “What a pleasant surprise Come As You Are is then, which brings much needed heart and relevancy to this tired trope.” – The Arts Desk Jul 18, 2020 Full Review SCOOB! (2020) 48% 3/5 EDIT “It's forgettable, but far from the worst Scooby Doo adaptation.” – The Arts Desk Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Artemis Fowl (2020) 8% 3/5 EDIT “Artemis Fowl is one of the great characters in children's literature. You wouldn't know it watching Disney's version.” – The Arts Desk Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Romantic Comedy (2019) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Romantic Comedy doesn't pull its punches, but like all great romcoms, reveals a soft heart beneath a steely exterior.” – The Arts Desk May 13, 2020 Full Review The Platform (2019) 81% 4/5 EDIT “The Platform on Netflix is the latter, a brutal, blunt and effective sledgehammer.” – The Arts Desk Apr 5, 2020 Full Review The Whalebone Box (2020) 100% 3/5 EDIT “The Whalebone Box is equal parts impressive and unnerving.” – The Arts Desk Apr 5, 2020 Full Review First Love (2019) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Sit back and enjoy sequences that trade gore for creativity.” – The Arts Desk Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Mr. Jones (2019) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A taut and stark thriller, one part espionage and one part survival.” – The Arts Desk Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Talking About Trees (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Though the subject may be about cinema, it rewards those focusing on the unspoken bonds of hardship and friendship.” – The Arts Desk Jan 28, 2020 Full Review The Runaways (2019) 30% 4/5 EDIT “The Runaways is worth seeking out, with heartfelt performances and a charming script. It's a ray of British sunshine on film.” – The Arts Desk Jan 10, 2020 Full Review The Party's Just Beginning (2018) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Lesser directors would struggle to strike this balance, but Gillan proves a deft hand. It's one of the strongest British debuts this year, and you have to ask - is there anything she can't do?” – The Arts Desk Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Ophelia (2018) 58% 3/5 EDIT “As a partner piece to Hamlet, it's an interesting twist on the traditional roles. As a standalone film, it somewhat suffers from its parent script. But particularly strong performances and beautiful imagery make it worth catching.” – The Arts Desk Nov 25, 2019 Full Review After the Wedding (2019) 45% 4/5 EDIT “Director and writer Bart Freundlich lets the story breathe, trusting the actors to do the emotional heavy lifting.” – The Arts Desk Nov 1, 2019 Full Review Le choc du futur (2019) 80% 3/5 EDIT “It's clearly written by someone who knows more about programming than plotting.” – The Arts Desk Sep 16, 2019 Full Review The Shiny Shrimps (2019) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Though it follows your typical obscure sports underdog story, the layered characters and unflinching topics make the Shrimps a surprise package.” – The Arts Desk Sep 7, 2019 Full Review A Faithful Man (2018) 82% 3/5 EDIT “What the film does best is play with genre conventions.” – The Arts Desk Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Armstrong (2019) 75% 4/5 EDIT “It excels in showing how Armstrong remained calm and capable in some truly astonishing situations.” – The Arts Desk Jul 13, 2019 Full Review
