little eggs: an african rescue
Colourful, fun filled, and a little bit bonkers Little Eggs: An African Rescue is an animated tale that young and old will enjoy alike.
poker face
While Poker Face does have some entertaining moments, the tale suffers from a lack of cohesion and characterization.
the bob's burgers movie
the menu
A smorgasbord of a film from the ensemble cast to the production design, The Menu is an intricately crafted thriller that simmers with a ferocious intensity throughout to its delightful and daring boilover of a conclusion. One of 2022’s best.
bones and all
Impressively both disturbing and deeply romantic, Bones and All is another striking statement from director Luca Guadagnino.
stars at noon
While the pace may be a little slow for some, Stars At Noon is a stripped back, observational piece with a whirlwind, superb performance from Margaret Qualley.
strange world
While Strange World is a beautiful, lushly realised fantastical world with some cracking action sequences, it’s missing a comedic lightness and heart deep below the surface that we’ve come to expect from Disney films over the decades.
black panther: wakanda forever
While never touching the lofty heights of the original and facing some narrative and running time challenges, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is still a richly realised world with one of the best MCU villains in recent memory.
she said
With excellent performances from Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan, She Said is an engaging and powerful story of dogged reporting and the challenge of unjust power.
emily
A period drama with a modern twist, Emily is a compassionate humanization of a literary icon, using fictional flourishes to explore her life and work.
black panther: wakanda forever
While never touching the lofty heights of the original and facing some narrative and running time challenges, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is still a richly realised world with one of the best MCU villains in recent memory.
compartment no. 6
Hopeful and filled with tenderness, Compartment No. 6 is a bittersweet drama with all the joy and pitfalls of human relationships at its centre.
mister organ
Hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly terrifying, Mister Organ is documentary filmmaking at its very best. One of the hands down best films of 2022.
the wonder
A slow burning thriller, The Wonder begins with a spark and ends in an inferno, led by a miraculous performance from Florence Pugh.
bros
Bros is a strong and confident rom-com that explores some themes unique to LGBTQ+ relationships, while also being extremely funny, confronting and entirely memorable.
decision to leave
A slow burning noir thriller in the Hitchcockian tradition, Decision to Leave is masterfully crafted in its many twists and turns with one of the best endings of any film in 2022.
the woman king
While it has a flabby, slow middle half filled with unnecessary exposition, The Woman King is a well crafted sword and sandals epic, with stellar performances from Davis and Mbedu.
black adam
While we’ve seen this kind of superhero story before, Black Adam has two cards up its sleeves: relentless action and Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
The Bob's Burgers Movie is a charming adaptation of the long running animated series, with great humour and musical numbers that will please returning fans as well as newcomers to the series.
