Her Private Hell review: Nicolas Winding Refn's long-awaited return is a load of old bollocks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“People will say I’ve become unrelatable,” worries one character in Her Private Hell. This doesn’t feel like an anxiety that Danish filmmaker Nicholas Winding Refn has ever struggled with. He wasn’t especially relatable when making gritty crime dramas like Pusher and Bronson. His breakthrough film, the Ryan Gosling thriller Drive, deployed taciturn masculinity and ultraviolence alongside cool detachment. His work since then has become increasingly strange, held at a remove from the audience: fro
Shaun The Sheep: The Beast Of Mossy Bottom review: Aardman horror pastiche is a classic lark (opens the original)

Shaun The Sheep: The Beast Of Mossy Bottom Who or what is Britain’s greatest cultural export? Is it James Bond? Doctor Who? MoneySavingExpert’s Martin Lewis? There is an extremely strong case to be made that it is, in fact, Shaun The Sheep, the claymation lamb with a heart of gold, whose silent-movie-esque antics, dialogue-free save for bleats and grunts, have made him a hero in over 170 countries, his family-friendly slapstick humour crossing borders worldwide. So it goes with this, the third S
Fall 2 review: Dizzying sequel is scrappier – but will have your palms dripping sweat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
2022’s Fall was a ruthlessly efficient genre exercise, stripping the disaster-survival thriller down to its most essential parts. The premise was simple: two climbers (Grace Caroline Currey’s Becky and Virginia Gardner’s Shiloh), one grieving the loss of her husband, the other a devil-may-care YouTuber, accidentally get trapped on the top of America’s tallest TV tower, and must use their wits and ingenuity to escape. This minimalist but highly effective B-movie was a sleeper hit in the Covid era
Spa Weekend review: The Hangover-esque comedy is an insult to the audience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Filmmaking team Jon Lucas and Scott Moore made their name by writing the original screenplay for 2009’s The Hangover, in which three friends and their weird mate get blackout drunk on a stag do. That film was the archetype, the bedrock text, the Dead Sea Scroll of early 2000s-2010s ‘kerrazzzy party’ movies. Since then, Lucas and Moore have made a career out of leaning into this mould, producing variations on that raunchily hedonistic theme: from 21 & Over (three friends get blackout drunk on a 2
The End Of Oak Street review: Dinosaur blockbuster embraces big genre pleasures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has anyone had as strange or circuitous a career as David Robert Mitchell? The American filmmaker started out with 2010’s hazy teen drama The Myth Of The American Sleepover, broke out with 2014’s cult hit horror It Follows, and then took a sharp left-turn into surreal neo-noir thrills with 2018’s Under The Silver Lake (which featured a nude owl-woman, a random skunk, a mysterious pirate, and a bit where Andrew Garfield shoves an egg into a child’s mouth). Now this former indie darling takes a sw
