Verity review: The twists in Anne Hathaway's new thriller don't justify the lengthy runtime (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It takes a certain kind of mind to sit all day, imagining monstrous things, without becoming at least haunted by those dark visions — and perhaps consumed by them. At least, that's the premise of this thriller, adapted from a Colleen Hoover bestseller. But while struggling young crime writer Lowen (Dakota Johnson) is plagued by lots of suspicion and worried about possible manipulation, Verity never quite goes for the throat. Johnson’s reserve suits Lowen, who's recently bereaved and further trau
Runner review: Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson team-up brings effectively-delivered mayhem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the universe closes a season of Reacher, it opens a window — with Runner. This enjoyable slice of mindless high-concept action nonsense allows star Alan Ritchson to once again brood, punch and blow things up. Ritchson has considerably more range than is on display here, but what this lacks in originality it makes up for in pace and effectively delivered mayhem. Our hero is delivery man Hank Malone, a US immigrant to Brisbane who’s rebuilding his life after war, trauma and tragedy. One day,
Bitter Christmas review: Pedro Almodóvar's latest is meandering, unfocused, but still a good hang (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pedro Almodóvar has explored his own profession before, in Antonio Banderas’ suffering filmmaker of Pain And Glory, for example. But there’s a sense of intense self-examination and even self-flagellation in his new film, as he looks at the tendency of artists to cannibalise the lives of those around them — to the detriment, perhaps, of their personal relationships. Not that that’s immediately clear. We open in 2004 with a typical Almodóvarian heroine. Bárbara Lennie’s Elsa is a sometime filmmake
The Dog Stars review: Ridley Scott's apocalyptic drama is too downbeat to stick in the mind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Post-apocalyptic films aim to reduce us to our essence, to make us question what, in the end, we need to hold onto and who we can’t live without. Ridley Scott’s latest also tries to go deeper, to examine the difference between surviving and thriving. The only problem is that it doesn’t seem entirely convinced of its own answers. Jacob Elordi stars as Hig, an everyday guy who’s just trying to get by in the newly depopulated America. With his dog, Jasper, he flies scavenging missions into Denver a
Watching House Of The Dragon? Here's where it fits in the Game Of Thrones timeline (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some people watch for the shocking plot-twists and the sexposition. but if you’re trying to follow the history of Westeros through Game Of Thrones and its now-numerous spin-offs – House Of The Dragon, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms and more – you might struggle to map it all out. Happily, author George R.R. Martin has a detailed timeline for his world, and we have gathered the screen story to date (don’t worry – no book spoilers here!) in one handy, digestible and not-even-poisoned parcel. Hey,
