Led by a trio of Oscar winners knocking it out of the park, The Little Things is a murky must-see.

Malcolm & Marie is a film of the moment, powered by Covid, BLM and #MeToo – but good enough to stand the test of time.

We’ve all been waiting for Gadot, and it was worth it. A much-needed blockbuster full of humour, spectacle and optimism.

This distinctly amateurish animation may be targeted at tots, but you’d have to particularly hate your children to inflict on them this tale of an elderly vet (Connery) trying to save a missing beaver.

No ray guns, no tentacular beasties, just gravitas in a film that goes boldly about its business but never quite lands.

A rich rumination on the immortal link between artist and subject.

Chadwick Boseman gives this muscular film, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, added punch and poignancy.

A spirited and likeable Christmas musical that boasts terrific songs and looks the part, Jingle Jangle covers a threadbare story with just enough tinsel.

An unexpected delight thanks to its two leads and expertly executed action.

Polished but pedestrian, Hillbilly Elegy is a boilerplate underdog tale that lacks bite – but gives good Glenn Close.

After 30 years of gestation, Mank emerges one of the great films on the machinations of Hollywood

A stupid film made by very smart people, Subsequent Moviefilm has a noble intent at odds with the loathsome figures that populate it. It’s never quite as gut-bustingly funny as the 2006 original, but you get the sense that wasn’t what Cohen was going for. By simply holding a mirror up to the rampant hypocrisy, division and hatred across America and giving bigots the rope to hang themselves, Borat feels more relevant and necessary than ever.

It’s ‘Hello Dahl-y’, as Anne Hathaway’s Grand High Witch brings camp not creepiness to Zemeckis’ entertaining fairytale.

Handsome, risk-taking Netflix remake sacrifices suspense for sweeping sadness.

A stark, sinister chamber piece built on atmosphere and performances. Morfydd Clark is a revelation.

Moving ever-onward from the sequels years, Pixar gets right back in the zone with Soul. Deep, witty, and fast on its jazz-loving feet, it doesn’t miss a beat.

Sofia, so good. Coppola takes Manhattan with a breezy, beautifully observed daddy-daughter portrait.

An emotionally tough watch – though an exhilarating one tahnks to Aaron Sorkin's reliably taught script and direction

A memorable showdown from yesteryear is recalled in an enjoyable yet frustrating film that stubbornly refuses to pick a side.

Robert Pattinson delivers another film-stealing supporting turn.

Enola Holmes falls into the ‘something for everyone’ category.

Like the inscription on her daddy’s sword, the new Mulan is loyal, brave and true… but not quite as funny or dramatic as it might have been.

A huge misfire that even the most hardcore X-Men fans will find hard to warm to. Avoid, avoid.

A last, cheering hurrah from two dudes.

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.

There’s a chemical imbalance here… Netflix’s super-drug thriller is less than addictive.

“I’m always going to be inside your head,” growls Crowe. Maybe not, but this fast, brutal chase-fest is trashy fun while it lasts.

A solid if unexceptional sea movie whose brevity is welcome after the stodgy likes of "Midway." Hanks keeps the propellers churning.
