2020s

  • Eddington (2025)

    What initially begins as a portrait of masculine rivalry in Eddington gradually reveals a study in reactionary control, capturing a microcosm of America’s tumultuous political landscape in one rural town, and cynically submitting to Ari Aster’s combustible, existential chaos.

  • Warfare (2025)

    While Alex Garland brings procedural precision to Warfare’s depiction of an ill-fated military operation, Ray Mendoza draws on his own firsthand experience to imbue it with an immersive, tactile realism, mounting tension through the real-time evolution of its descent into chaos.

  • The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    Matt Shakman’s vision of the The Fantastic Four: First Steps may gesture towards greatness in its retro-futurist production design, but ultimately retreats into hollow grandeur, leaving behind a world rich in style for a superficial simulation that never dares to challenge its own utopian ideals.

  • 28 Years Later (2025)

    Through Danny Boyle’s return to the horror series which redefined the zombie genre, 28 Years Later delivers an unexpectedly touching coming-of-age tale, confronting an apocalyptic world stripped of its humanity yet fostering a melancholy beauty that so many survivors stubbornly reject.

  • Superman (2025)

    James Gunn’s blend of emotional sincerity and stylish flair in Superman offers a workable blueprint for the DC Universe, rejuvenating the alien hero with a radical, countercultural kindness, and nudging the genre towards stories that prioritise character over spectacle – without entirely sacrificing either.

  • F1 (2025)

    Joseph Kosinski swaps jets for race cars in F1’s thrilling sports drama, stylishly redressing familiar tropes with sleek technical mastery, and turning its predictable rivalry into an electrifying, finely choreographed dance of collaboration.
