  • Review: Boyhood ★★★★★

    Carney created the American version of his European success Once (2006), and the result is rather satisfying.

  • Review: Transformers: Age of Extinction ★☆☆☆☆

    A mega-blockbuster that somehow feels ridiculously cheap, says our writer Ben Robins.

  • Review: Oculus ★★★★☆

    Mike Flanagan produces an excellent sense of impending dread throughout Oculus, always present as an undercurrent ready to boil to the surface, says Jack Dillon.

  • Review: Miss Violence ★★☆☆☆

    Resting somewhere between pitch-black comedy and unrelentingly bleak drama, Miss Violence proves a deeply difficult experience, says Andy Southcott.

  • Review: The Fault in Our Stars ★★☆☆☆

    A film that was characterised by inappropriate amusements, awkward narrating, unnecessary Hollywood romanticisation and an abundance of cliché.

  • Review: Belle ★★★★☆

    This drama is brilliantly scripted and admirably places the romantic as the subplot, instead stressing social criticism with authentic execution.
