Beast | 2018 | It is a shame the film was marketed as some kind of adult fairytale, as in reality is tense mystery thriller with a chilling air. Jesse Buckley plays lead character Mol to perfection as she fights against over-protective parents and a hidden past. | Gordon | 8 |

Bohemian Rhapsody | 2018 | The acting is atrocious, the story so cleansed it isn't really a biopic at all and the cinematography gives everything a TV movie colourised glow that makes everything look staged. But for all that I still found myself enjoying the cheesiness of it all. | Gordon | 6 |

Stan & Ollie | 2018 | Telling the story of how the magic ended, this is in many places this is an incredibly sad film, but Coogan and Reilly capture the characters so well that their beautiful friendship and fantastic comedy shines through. | Gordon | 8 |

The Favourite | 2018 | A quirky period tale of two cousins fighting for the attentions of the Queen. Coleman and Stone are superb and the direction inventive, but the story sags quite heavily before a polarising end. | Gordon | 8 |

You Were Never Really Here | 2017 | Joaquin Phoenix is as good as usual but the film's haphazard style had me on edge far more than the unconvincing plot. | Gordon | 6 |

You Were Never Really Here | 2017 | Packed with stylish cinematography and Joaquin Phoenix is captivating in the lead role, but the story is bewildering and it's exhausting to try and follow what is going on. | Mat | 5 |
