Pain is gone. Surgery is the new sex. Body is reality.

I’m not exactly sure what happened, but what I can say for sure is that this film was a beautiful road trip.

The Green Woman meanders through a story of relationship problems and addiction, asking its audience to put the visual and storytelling problems aside for a third-act reveal.

How far can you take the idea of a talking shell who wears shoes and stands one inch off the ground? Well, with the help of many celebrity cameos, dozens of viral videos, and a documentary maker with too much time on his hands, apparently there’s no limit. 

Karam has crafted something that speaks not just to every millennial who's had to justify to their parents why they chose to live in a crappy city apartment, but also to the innate curiosity, awkwardness, and disappointment that comes from trying to understand and relate to the innate workings of our fellow human beings.

Japanese animator Yanakaya has made his feature debut with Battlecry, animated entirely on his own laptop. In embracing the rough limitations of solo 3D animation, the film looks like a videogame from the 90s.

The broad strokes of the narrative follow a particular formula seen elsewhere, but the finer details of True Thing’s delivery offer enough of a unique shine to throw viewers off-balance for long enough for the predictability to go momentarily cold.

While there's a case to be made for its occasional pops of glitter and gore, Sissy ends up firmly in the realm of meh-core, a film that isn't offensively bad but is somewhat of a chore because of its close proximity to mediocrity - a horror movie that, like the title might suggest, is scared of its own identity.

Unique challenges face us all in trying to achieve self-discovery, but for Blaze it’s a little more tumultuous than what you’d expect. 

Standing at the very peak of Noé's filmography with an uncharacteristically mature handling of its subject matter, Vortex is a haunting reminder of the ephemeral nature of life, and a touching ode to the memories that accumulate over the course of one.

While Decision to Leave might not be Park Chan-wook’s best, it is still an original mystery by a world-class artist at the top of his game.

Funny Pages screams new-age Funny People to me – and that’s a big compliment in my books. 

Much like Jordan Peele’s first two instalments, Get Out and Us, his new flying-saucer-mystery Nope is anything but predictable.

Looking at the poster for Bullet Train is a testament to the sheer amount of content and attention to detail that you’re going to find when you sit down for this one, which you should do at your earliest convenience.

Largely free of overt fan service or nostalgia-baiting, Prey is the rare modern prequel that dares to use its framework to propel the series in new directions, widening the universe without overcrowding it with familiar characters or obnoxiously hinting at an immediate sequel.

Something in the Dirt offers up a bounty of intriguing morsels, and to witness filmmakers attempt so much with so little is inspiring in its own right.

This is a film for anyone that has ever wanted to look behind the curtain, and find out how the wizard’s magic machine might work. 

Above all else, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a film with lots of heart, which can be quite refreshing amidst a sea of blockbusters, CGI and big sound design.

Well, this one will do well at parties, presentations or generally just any television that entertains the passive attention of passers-by. The United States of America is certainly not what I expected, although it is exactly what the title promises. 

This film, whilst deeply devastating and distressing, needs to be watched and watched again.
