    Mortal Kombat II
    The creatively gory fighting and amusing — if shallow — characters just about compensate for the paper-thin story. But at its best, it’s a lot of dumb fun. 
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Amon Warmann
    Dreamers
    A bold and tender story well told, and elevated by its personal nature. This is a strong debut from Gharoro-Akpojotor — she’s one to watch. 
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Amon Warmann
    Giant
    Despite good performances from El-Masry and Brosnan, this fails to pack the heavyweight knockout punch it sorely needs. Judge’s decision: a narrow loss, on points. 
    • 33 Metascore

    Regretting You
    Solid performances can’t keep this from being a tonally erratic disappointment. Here’s hoping the next Hoover adaptation is a little less regrettable.

    Hedda
    Tessa Thompson has never been better as the titular not-so-desperate housewife in Nia DaCosta’s bold, stylish reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s timeless play.

    Nobody 2
    Odenkirk as an ageing action hero is still a violent delight, but the storytelling in this sequel leaves much to be desired.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Amon Warmann
    Ballerina
    The story is a bit slight, but it’s fun to watch Ana de Armas punch, shoot, stab and blast everything and everyone in her way. A Wick-edly entertaining addition to one of cinema’s best action franchises.

    Hallow Road
    This Hallow Road is paved with brilliant performances, a smart, unpredictable script, and tight, precise direction from Anvari. An unsettling ride worth taking. 
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Amon Warmann
    The Amateur
    Operating with more of a steady pulse than a full-on thrill-ride, this revenge flick exchanges fists for brains with only decent results.

    Hans Zimmer & Friends: Diamond in the Desert
    Timeless, generational music combines with thrilling showmanship and insightful creative musings as Zimmer (& friends) bring his act to the big screen with winning results. Almost no bum notes detected.

    In the Lost Lands
    Neither Bautista nor Jovovich can elevate this ugly-looking misfire. Fans of entertaining fantasy action need not apply.

    Luther: Never Too Much
    Moving, enlightening, but above all entertaining, this is a worthy tribute to a prolific talent that fortifies our appreciation for Vandross and his art.

    We Live in Time
    Pugh and Garfield are a dynamite duo in this likably earnest, satisfyingly complicated love story. Worthy of your time, and your tears.
    • 77 Metascore

    Fancy Dance
    A thoughtful, affecting debut feature from Tremblay that puts a necessary spotlight on Indigenous peoples — featuring another exceptional performance from Lily Gladstone.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Amon Warmann
    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
    This doesn’t reinvent the wheel, and keeps you waiting too long for the final showdown — but when the creatures collide, it still delivers satisfying thrills.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 80 Amon Warmann
    Spaceman
    Come for the wise alien spider, stay for Adam Sandler at his sombre best in this strange, heartfelt sci-fi drama. Here’s hoping he continues to push himself to new highs.
    • 72 Metascore

    Society of the Snow
    A viscerally rendered plane crash gives way to an affecting story of humanity and survival. Bayona is on impressive form here.
    • 58 Metascore

    The Equalizer 3
    A solid conclusion to an unlikely trilogy and a fitting end to Robert McCall’s character arc — with Washington still entertaining as a deliverer of slick justice.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Amon Warmann
    They Cloned Tyrone
    A stylish, laugh-out-loud blast that has something to say but doesn’t sacrifice enjoyment to do so, anchored by a trio of great performances. Quite the debut for Juel Taylor.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Amon Warmann
    The Mother
    This is a come-for-Lopez, stay-for-Lopez endeavour, and she’s on fine, movie star form in this serviceable, if forgettable action thriller.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Amon Warmann
    A Thousand and One
    Come for Taylor’s breakout performance, stay for a tender, confidently told story of Black motherhood and sacrifice. Rockwell is one to watch.
    • 73 Metascore

    Creed III
    Giving the gloves to Michael B. Jordan both in front of and behind the camera leads to satisfying results, and the year of great Jonathan Majors performances continues.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Amon Warmann
    The Silent Twins
    Some wonderful visual flourishes and two brilliant central performances by Wright and Lawrence help to illuminate the Gibbons sisters’ headspaces. But without important context, true insight and understanding remains elusive.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Amon Warmann
    Smile
    Though it may be derivative, Smile still manages to be a scary, unsettling ride that’s powered by an impressively committed Sosie Bacon performance and some assured direction. Finn is one to watch.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Amon Warmann
    Mr. Malcolm's List
    The charming performances make this a win for colourblind casting. On the list of period romcom requirements, the sweet love story ticks all the right boxes.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Amon Warmann
    Hustle
    Hustle follows a familiar game plan but executes it well, with a love of basketball culture shining through — alongside a likeable Sandler performance.
    • 63 Metascore

    The Electrical Life of Louis Wain
    Too often The Electrical Life Of Louis Wain favours eccentricity over actual insight. But even when the tones jar, Cumberbatch’s vulnerable, layered performance always rings true.

    Boxing Day
    A few storytelling decisions don’t ring true, but the winning performances and loving celebration of Black British culture help conjure up just enough holiday cheer to make this worth watching.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Amon Warmann
    The Guilty
    Gyllenhaal flexes all his considerable acting muscles in this taut, tense thriller. One of the better remakes you’ll see.
    • 72 Metascore

    Candyman
    It helps that Candyman is exquisitely shot. Right from the first frame, DaCosta is always doing something interesting with the camera. There is smart visual storytelling almost everywhere you look, from the clever use of mirrors, to edgy scene transitions, to set design that starts to mirror Candyman’s look in interesting ways. The jump scares are rare but hardly needed: all this contributes to a growing feeling of dread as the film speeds towards its bold conclusion.
