    Tenet
    Tenet is a practically perfect (re)introduction to the big screen. Whether audiences are ready – where safe – to return to cinemas en masse is another question entirely. Certainly, Tenet’s a more challenging film than some may be comfortable with after a five-month absence, but this is an all-too-rare example of a master filmmaker putting everything on the table with, you sense, not a modicum of his vision compromised. The stakes have never been higher, but Tenet is exactly the film cinemas need right now.

    Artemis Fowl
    Without the darkness or depth of the Harry Potter movies, Artemis Fowl fails to find an audience over 10 years old

    The Hunt
    A late fight scene is staged with verve, and Gilpin is good value in an underwritten role. But given the politically fractious times we live in, this inane satire is a colossal missed opportunity.

    Sonic the Hedgehog
    A relic of the ’90s in more ways than one, Sonic offers frenetic fun for younger viewers, and in Jim Carrey’s preposterous Robotnik an enjoyable shot of nostalgia for adults.

    The Lighthouse
    Proves The Witch was no fluke. Dafoe and Pattinson dazzle in a luminous exercise in maritime madness.

    A Hidden Life
    A Hidden Life is the most soulful war movie since "The Thin Red Line": elegiac, emotional and exquisitely shot. Malick’s back!

    Little Monsters
    Proving there’s life in the zom-com yet, Forsythe’s down under rib-tickler might just be 2019’s funniest film.

    Sorry We Missed You
    Cut from the same cloth as I, Daniel Blake, Loach’s latest is a powerful state-of-the-nation dispatch.

    Terminator: Dark Fate
    Dark Fate gets more right than it gets wrong (just about, anyway), and there’s an undeniable thrill in seeing Hamilton and Schwarzenegger reunited onscreen for the first time in almost three decades. But this fourth attempt at crafting a worthy sequel to James Cameron’s peerless sci-fi double bill only just gets passing marks.

    Joker
    More character study than comic book movie, and anchored by an Oscar-worthy Joaquin Phoenix, Joker is a bravura blockbuster that proves you don’t need superpowered scraps to dazzle.

    Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood
    Tarantino’s ode to Hollywood is his best since "Jackie Brown"; an evocative and disarmingly heartfelt LA story, capped by a finale you won’t forget.’

    Spider-Man: Far from Home
    Another home run for the MCU that puts Pete’s responsibilities in a post-Iron Man world front and centre during a rib-tickling summer romance. Whatever you do, don’t skip the credits.

    Rocketman
    Egerton gives it his all, and there are moments of visual invention, but this largely formulaic rock biopic can’t hit the high notes.
    • 66 Metascore

    The Kid Who Would Be King
    It may not dazzle as much as Attack the Block, but Cornish’s second feature is a fun family adventure.
    • 66 Metascore

    Creed II
    Blow for blow Creed 2 is a closer match for its heavyweight predecessors than anyone dared hope. Transparently formulaic at times – but boy will it get your blood pumping.

    The Meg
    Living up to its billing as the most ridiculous film of the summer, The Meg is one to laugh at rather than with. Instantly forgettable, but undeniably fun.

    Rampage
    Rampage was always going to be the cinematic equivalent of junk food – enjoyable enough while consumed, but devoid of nourishment. When the homo sapiens are on screen, you can feel the film start to flatline but, against the odds, a computer-generated gorilla might just win you over.

    Isle of Dogs
    A barking mad shaggy dog story with imagination to spare. 13/10, would watch again.

    Sweet Country
    The beauty of Alice Springs offers a profound contrast with the ugly acts committed by its inhumane colonists.

    You Were Never Really Here
    Lynne Ramsay returns with a scuzzy, stripped-back thriller focused on the man, rather than the mission.
    • 86 Metascore

    Loveless
    This chilly thriller is another highly accomplished feature to add to a formidable body of work.
    • 81 Metascore

    Coco
    It may lack the ingenuity of their finest outings, but this is Pixar’s best film in ages. Visually splendid, frequently emotional and culturally nourishing.
    • 42 Metascore

    Suburbicon
    The cast do decent work, but Clooney’s ersatz Fargo misses the mark. A Coen pastiche rather than the real deal.
    • 45 Metascore

    Justice League
    Justice League’s most significant shortcoming is how forgettable it all is. There’s barely a moment that sticks, not a single sequence to rival the standout superhero set-pieces of recent years.

    Una
    Incendiary storytelling with nuanced performances, but the transition from stage to screen lacks focus.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Jordan Farley
    Blade Runner 2049
    An exquisitely crafted sequel that stands shoulder to shoulder with one of the greatest films ever made. Everyone involved is operating at the height of their powers.
    • 48 Metascore

    Goon: Last of the Enforcers
    Earnest intentions may be behind this bawdy yet heartfelt sport-quel, but it’s a largely unnecessary rematch.
    • 65 Metascore

    The Boy and the Beast
    The burgeoning bond between man and monster hits soaring emotional heights, even if the new world feels a little under-developed.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Jordan Farley
    It Comes at Night
    An uncompromisingly bleak slow burn, it leaves the pulse frantic and nerves frayed.
    • 65 Metascore

    Alien: Covenant
    Sharper, meaner, and meatier than Prometheus, Covenant's weak narrative drive stalls its brutal good intentions.
