  1. Bring Them Down
    In plot terms there is something unsubtle, unconvincing and even absurd in where it’s all heading.
  2. Split
    Split goes all-in on McAvoy slipping from persona to persona, and luckily he’s got the acting chops to sell it.
  3. Normal
    It’s entertaining and bizarre chaos, anchored by Odenkirk’s hangdog air of gloomy resignation to the violent mess which he has to clean up.
  4. Until the End of the World
    The scenes of artistic, scientific and communal triumph were significant. The isolated, solipsistic anger of each character, lost in their own identity loop, seemed like a perfect analogy for the conflicts in eastern Europe in the mid-1990s.
  5. Alpha
    It is a bit silly, but is likable hokum.
  6. The Hole in the Ground
    It always finds new, invariably cinematic ways to nudge us towards its final leap into the abyss. Cronin feels like a real find for our especially insecure moment.
  7. Scoop
    The drama is smothered by its own overwhelming sense of importance.

    How to Get Ahead in Advertising
    How To Get Ahead In Advertising is often an uneasy mixture of satire and parody that plunges past anarchy into the most foursquare polemic imaginable. But at least it has the courage of every one of its convictions and Grant's doughty performance at its centre almost persuades one that he was not a little miscast. [27 Jul 1989]

  9. The Rip
    A movie to be enjoyed on Friday night and forgotten all about by Saturday morning.

    Eureka
    Mesmerising mosaic of a thriller-plus from Nicolas Roeg, bringing dazzling (blinding, to a nervous studio and some critics) new reflections on the woes of wealth. Gene Hackman is excellent as Citizen Kane-ish figure atop mountain of gold and amidst nest of vipers. [07 Sep 1989]

  11. The Devil Wears Prada 2
    This is good-natured, buoyant entertainment. It’s wearing well.
  12. Free Fire
    There’s something lacking, a touch of the bizarre or the perverse, with just one particularly nasty death to serve as a reminder that you’re watching a Ben Wheatley film.
  13. Keanu
    If there was a strong enough story to latch the jokes on to, Keanu might have worked. As it stands, it reeks of a grossly underdeveloped sketch extended to feature length.
  14. In the Earth
    In a flawed yet fierce return to form, Ben Wheatley has crafted a phantasmagoric treat with In the Earth, an ambitious, atmospheric little woodland horror.
  15. Beau Is Afraid
    Joaquin Phoenix is on really uninteresting form, playing to his weaknesses as an actor as he gives a narcissistic performance of pain, sporting a permanently zonked expression of anxiety and torpid self-pity at the misery that surrounds him.
  16. A Haunting in Venice
    No amount of spooky jump-scares can save Kenneth Branagh’s latest Christie adaptation, which wastes its atmospheric setting and stellar cast.
