The Face of Love | Flix Capacitor | Stephen Carty | The story's plausibility is stretched in places, but it is held together by Bening and Harris, both of whom are wholly convincing at all times. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,522 |
The Fault In Our Stars | Flix Capacitor | Stephen Carty | The Fault In Our Stars is unlikely to win over the cynics, but Woodley has a smile that lights up the screen, and you believe in her even when the film's plausibility is stretched. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,522 |

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again | Flixist.com | Matthew Razak | It's a trite mess that barely clears enjoyable and only then because the songs are still catchy. Let's just not go again... ever. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,523 |

Booksmart | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | Booksmart doesn't want to make fun out of the nerds, and it has no interest in lecturing young audiences about sex, school, and prioritising one's education. It tells you it's okay to make mistakes. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |
Disobedience | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | Disobedience works much better when the director lets McAdams and Weisz play their feelings out through soft glances and subtle touches.

I, Tonya | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | I, Tonya isn't about whether Harding was involved in Kerrigan's attack, but a portrait of America at the dawn of the 24-hour news cycle and the rise of becoming famous through notoriety. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |

Lady Bird | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | Forget the insane hype and you may have a better experience with it.

Ladyworld | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | It's immediately clear the film's intention is to disorientate and disturb audiences, so it's a shame it does nothing more than irritate. Never has a so-called thriller been less thrilling and more forgettable | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |
Love, Simon | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | What really makes this film a feat of queer cinema is how ordinary it is. It's a love story between two men, but without tragedy and angst, seeming quite radical for how sweet it is. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |
Prey | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | Prey might've been forgivable if it dived headfirst into its sense of ridiculousness, but it's ultimately too boring to even be so-bad-it's-good. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |
Professor Marston & The Wonder Women | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | The arc of Marston's career is so fascinating that it seems a waste to boil the details down into such an ordinary biopic, merely ticking off his achievements | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |
Rocketman | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | We've all seen the biopic about the sad but talented little boy who finds fame and fortune before descending into a dark world of drink and drugs but you've never seen a film that blends fantasy, musical, and biopic so seamlessly... | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |

The Day Shall Come | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | The truth laid out by the film's sobering finale is simple to understand and will leave audiences walking out of the cinema breathless.

The Farewell | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | Until the closing shot, this is a celebration of Asian actors, traditions, and relationships, never tainted with the need to please multiplex audiences of the west. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |
The Favourite | Frame Rated | Amelia Harvey | Despite being a costume drama it feels more modern than its corset-wearing peers. If you're not a fan of usual uptight period films, don't let the historical setting put you off. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,534 |
