    A Dog Called Money
    Harvey is mostly a watchful observer with a notebook; sometimes she reads lines of poetry she’s jotted down on the voiceover. But we barely see her interacting with anyone on the ground, which gives the whole thing an impersonal feel.

    Midway
    Like watching a statue for two-and-a-half hours, there’s nothing to do but sit back and yawn.

    Brittany Runs A Marathon
    It’s a film with charm and sweetness but a twinge of anxiety, a little gravitational pull to darker places.

    Western Stars
    A little of the intimacy is gone, and I have to admit to not being 100% sold on the cowboy-inflected songs, which feature quite a bit of dime-store sentimentality. But Springsteen is undoubtedly magnetic, his voice a honeyed growl.

    American Woman
    Despite featuring big-name actors – Miller, Paul and Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks as Debra’s sister – American Woman is a film with a lived-in authentic feel. And Miller plays it beautifully with psychological depth and not a jot of actorly condescension.

    The Sky Is Pink
    The ending is unforgivably mawkish, though, and the running time of two-and-a-quarter hours is simply too long.

    Don't Let Go
    Even with an intelligent, credible performance by David Oyelowo, the daftness and utter implausibility of a smartphone so smart it can make calls to the future is overwhelming.

    Honeyland
    Honeyland really is a miraculous feat, shot over three years as if by invisible camera – not a single furtive glance is directed towards the film-makers.

    Ne Zha
    I enjoyed the jolt of strangeness delivered by this world of demons stalking the Earth. But the action is hit-and-miss.

    A Million Little Pieces
    A Million Little Pieces is a weirdly unreflective exploration of the destructive force of addiction and, setting a new benchmark for blandness, drags on for what feels like a million not-so-little minutes.
