Star Wars: The Last Jedi | Review ★★★
While Johnson’s darkly portentous yet irreverently comedic sequel delights and surprises, it offers few sparks of hope for the saga’s future.

Blade Runner 2049 | Review ★★★★
More reverse-engineering than replication, Villeneuve’s visually and thematically rich sequel is a worthy successor to Scott’s visionary original.
mother! | Review ★★★
It’s all delusions in Aronofsky’s queasy, hysterical psycho-horror, though mainly of grandeur.
Detroit | Review ★★
Bigelow and Boal’s latest collaboration depicting the 1967 Detroit race riots has crude impact, but is sorely lacking in empathy to penetrate any further.
Atomic Blonde | Review ★★
Despite Theron’s icy, intimidating lead performance, Leitch’s swaggering Cold War thriller is less seductive and subversive than it thinks.
Land of Mine | Review ★★★★
While powerfully fraught, Zandvliet’s historical drama touches sensitively on the consequences of war.
Dunkirk | Review ★★★★
Nolan’s historical-survival epic has terrifying immersive power but struggles against waves of excess.
