Now Showing

Moana 2

Theatres: 27 November
Moana 2 3 out of 4
“In her second big-screen adventure, Moana sails through a decent, fairly witty story. But the songs are all wet.”

Gladiator II

Theatres: 22 November
Gladiator II 3.5 out of 4
“Gladiator II gets an enthusiastic thumb up for its spectacle. A narrative pivot, though, earns a deeply vexed thumb down.”

Red One

Theatres: 15 November
Red One 2 out of 4
“It’s not a lump of coal, but Red One’s not a new holiday classic, either.”

Venom: The Last Dance

Theatres: 25 October
Venom: The Last Dance 2.5 out of 4
“The Last Dance squanders the Venom series’ last chance to do something great with its characters.”

We Live in Time

Theatres: 18 October
We Live in Time 3.5 out of 4
“We Live in Time is an uncommonly effective romantic drama featuring an Oscar-worthy performance from Florence Pugh.”

The Outrun

The Outrun 2.5 out of 4
“Saoirse Ronan delivers a strong performance that carries The Outrun through familiar territory.”

Transformers: One 3 out of 4
“After a weak start, One transforms itself with a surprisingly strong conclusion.”

Alien: Romulus

Alien: Romulus 3.5 out of 4
