2020s

  • The Phoenician Scheme (2025)

    Amid The Phoenician Scheme’s epic entanglements of assassins, terrorists, and bureaucrats, it is within a dysfunctional family reunion where Wes Anderson unravels an unlikely spiritual redemption, mending broken bonds through one wealthy industrialist’s mission to execute his most ambitious project yet.

  • Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)

    What Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning lacks in deftness it makes up for in raw impact, unleashing a heart-pounding conclusion to the nuclear threat posed by a rogue AI parasite, and standing as an overstuffed, operatic monument to what practical filmmaking can still achieve when pushed to its edge.

  • Adolescence (2025)

    In Philip Barantini’s refusal to cut away from his camera’s long, uncomfortable takes, Adolescence pushes a quiet form of insistence, bearing witness to the raw, fragmented, and unresolved mess left in the wake of one teenager’s horrifying crime.

  • The Girl with the Needle (2024)

    The face of human evil is insidiously disguised in The Girl with the Needle, though Magnus van Horn’s monochrome cinematography offers a disturbing glimpse behind its warm, maternal mask, adapting a chilling piece of Danish history which once shook the post-war nation to its core.

  • Juror #2 (2024)

    When a man serving on a jury recognises his own unexpected culpability in Juror #2, moral turmoil begins to stir his conscience, offering a rich subject for Clint Eastwood’s study of stifled, agonising guilt.

  • Sinners (2025)
