So, did ‘Mamma Mia!’ need a sequel? Not really. Is it any good? Of course not. But does that matter? Hardly an inch.

This beautiful and rare look into the man inside the man is a gift to all fashion, history and influencer lovers.

Johnson does his stock-standard performance as an affable brick wall who tries to downplay his physical size and fails. Void of quality, fun and originality, there’s not much going for ‘Skyscraper’.

The big and small gags deliver like in the first film and it delicately treads between kitch, comedy, action and heartwarming moments.

You’ll walk away with an insatiable desire to go back and watch all her great work again, with your new knowledge of her craft and philosophy, at how she conjures magic out of the marriage of images.

‘Mary Shelley’ is a serviceable biopic that features a strong turn from Fanning and decent performances elsewhere but she deserves more than a linear, Wikipedia-style trawl through her life.

This harrowing tale of love and survival hits all the right notes you’d expect it to, but what puts this above the rest is its stars.

‘Foxtrot’ is emotionally tumultuous, and leaves you feeling battered. You'll be left wondering where the story is headed, as it moves from tragedy to humour and back again in the blink of an eye.

This is a huge amount of fun, with some dark, real moments peppered throughout for a real kick. With just enough sweetness to balance the mixture out, this is a surprisingly endearing film.

This is been devoid of originality, sincerity or wonder, and fuelled by lazy fan servicing that demonstrates no understanding of why we were fans in the first place.

It's is a rip-roaring action film, full of heart and electricity, boisterous and bombastic in all the right ways, and delivering in spades after many years of anticipation.

What binds Ronit, Esti and Dovid’s stories together is less about betrayal or passion, but our duty to our parents, our partners, our community and our faith.

It’s fun and energetic with a terrific concept, and most of the cast looking like they're having so much fun onscreen - but Isla Fisher consistently steals the spotlight and the laughs.

‘Upgrade’, with its low budget, innovative mixtures of story and vision, and unabashed genre thrills and chills, manages to thrash out some of the metaphysics of the twenty-first century.

‘Hereditary’ is not for the faint of heart. It’s a stressful, intense ride through an escalating family tragedy with a supernatural horror twist. You have been warned.

It’s a portrait of the abyss of loneliness, and how that abyss can swallow you whole. It offers not shock and horror, but something all the more human, affecting and haunting.

It’s not perfect. In fact, it’s a minefield of a story, but it is highly enterprising, pleasantly unique, and never boring. This is an enjoyable and inventive addition to the crime comedy genre.

If you manage to let this film in past your traps and defences, ‘I Kill Giants’ is unlikely to leave a dry eye in the room.

This feels like a film that thought it was something special when it actually never lifts off the ground. Harrelson and Donovan and the hilariously bad make-up are the only draw cards.

There are a lot of ways to describe the overall tone of this film, like cloying, twee or simply very, very British. It’s a dull, ultra-genteel combination of all three.

Intense, emotional, economically told yet fully-realised, ‘A Vigilante’ is a debut feature that signals the emergence of a brutally-skilled filmmaking talent in Sarah Daggar-Nickson.

The quality of the film is nebulous, and difficult to trace into patterns and arcs: a horror-dream or a familiar nightmare composed of images you’ve never seen before but that feel strangely familiar.

All the elements are there - the cast, the music, the story - it just doesn’t know what to do with them. There's a beautiful heart and loveable characters, but not much else.

30 years after 'Coming to America' first hit the big screen, we count down the top 5 movies where actors play multiple roles.

Using masculine aggression as an allegory for escalating conflict, ‘The Insult’ raises interesting (and timely) questions that resonate well beyond the Middle East.

It captures the isolation and loneness with its dark, ominous and vast yet isolated shots, and is magnified by newcomer Shico Menegat’s quiet, fresh and beautiful performance.

It's handsomely filmed and features fine performances from a well-selected cast, even though the characters aren’t given much obvious psychological depth by the script, and their motives remain fairly straightforward.

A truly inspirational and fascinating look into a style icon, this is the story of her life, and it is a fascinating life to witness.

A great starting off point to learn more about John Curry, but it’s sadly not the be-all and end-all biography of this tragic yet beautiful life.

The duration of this documentary felt like more than its 112 minutes, and that’s a real shame. What should be the culmination of humanity and science falls very flat.

For District Unknown to have brought elation to its band members and young generations of Afghanis is revelatory. This is the story of people slowly changing minds through the power of creativity.
