Cold Wallet never quite nails its tone, veering from the black comedy of Michael Bay's Pain & Gain with its out-of-depth meatheads to something darker in its final act. Recensie

Torres has rightly received plaudits for her performance. Aside from Torres, Salles has assembled a strikingly good ensemble. Recensie

Had The Other Way Around been made by a Scandinavian filmmaker you can't help but suspect the scenario would have been played as an absurdist comedy. Trueba's film has a light tone, but laughs are thin on the ground. Recensie

Perkins is playing this for laughs rather than scares, and his shocks do indeed result in hilarity. Recensie

You can't help but wish these two performances had been saved for a more deserving film, and they ultimately do little to enliven a disastrously misjudged attempt to refashion an epic myth as a gritty drama. Recensie

The Last Showgirl largely plays out in a series of vignettes, many of which are individually interesting, but there's a lack of strong connecting tissue. It's not so much a fully realised screenplay as a series of ideas for scenes strung together. Recensie

September Says draws us into its unnerving little world via three captivating performances and Labed's ability to keep us on edge, at least until we suss the derivative direction in which her film is taking us. Labed's film is a flawed debut, but one that suggests more satisfying work to come, and in Tharia and Kann she may have discovered two future stars of British cinema. Recensie

Hviid and writer Anders Frithiof August pull off an impressive balancing act of keeping the drama grounded enough to avoid veering too far from its factual roots while injecting enough dramatic elements to ensure we're involved beyond merely watching the process play out. Recensie

There's a reason The Gorge went unproduced, for despite its great setup, the actual script is in dire need of a few rewrites to iron out its many issues. Recensie

With a winning combination of romance, comedy, crushed skulls and decapitations, Heart Eyes makes for the perfect date movie. Recensie

Rebellious Iranian writer/director Mohammad Rasoulof opens his latest incendiary work with an analogy that correlates to how the youth of his country (specifically young women) are strangled by the oppression of their elders... Recensie

Bring Them Down might be described as a contemporary western, and Abbott's Michael is exactly the sort of taciturn protagonist with a shady past you might find strapping on their old pistol for one last duel at dawn. Recensie

We know how all this ultimately plays out, but the thrill comes from seeing Mason, Arledge and their crew comes up with technical solutions on the fly while grappling with the morality of sticking a camera in the face of tragedy. Recensie

These are messy and very human characters of the sort that Sang-soo has mastered in his prolific career. But By the Stream is one of his more humorous films, and its breezy tone means we don't really think about the depth of it all until it's over. Recensie

Such minor gripes aside, Companion is a highly entertaining and original take on the robot goes rogue trope. Recensie

That's ultimately the biggest problem with Dark Match: for a movie that features so much action in the ring, its staging doesn't do enough to make it stand out from what the WWE and other franchises offer audiences on a near nightly basis. Recensie

Maybe it's a sign of my age, but I found myself intensely irritated by the antics of the young group of so-called comedians we're forced to spend time with here. Recensie

For the most part this is an assured and highly promising debut from Rainbow, who lends a woman's touch to a previously male-dominated horror sub-genre. Recensie
