in cinemas
black sheeps
A bloody, hilarious sequel, Black Sheeps is almost worth the twenty year wait.
wild horse nine
Gut splittingly hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, Wild Horse Nine is a meditation on life, regret, and death and everything in between with an astonishing, Oscar worthy performance from John Malcovich. One of my favorite films of the year.
wicker
Wicker is a wonderful night out that audiences will find that there is joy and love for everyone even if it looks a little different.
pressure
With pressure that ratchets up creating a tension that nearly sucks all the oxygen out of the cinema, Pressure is a fine example of how meteorology, something we almost take for granted, was so consequential to the most pivotal battle of the Second World War.
wildwood
A monumental cinematic achievement, lovingly crafted by hand over nearly two decades, Wildwood is also a thoroughly engaging tale with memorable characters and themes that will sear themselves in your soul. One of the best films of the year.
clayface
While there are some good elements scattered throughout, Clayface struggles to find a coherent form of its own, leaving too many intriguing narrative threads dangling.
the sheep detectives
One of the most endearing films to hit cinemas this year, The Sheep Detectives is the warm, cuddly, comforting film that we all need right now.
