“A social satire full of righteous fury, even if its message is delivered in a slightly inelegant way”
“The cast is great, but many of the ideas feel familiar, & the film’s bleak tone won’t be to everyone’s taste”
“Some interesting ideas don’t make up for the fact that this lacks the emotional impact of Pixar’s better films”
“A much needed blockbuster packed full of emotion, humour & fun, with a central message of hope”

“A perfectly-timed Halloween treat for families, mixing the chills with moments of humour”
“A fun comedy/thriller, carried by a great performance from Millie Bobby Brown as the engaging teen detective”
“Despite a good cast & some interesting ideas, this is an entry for X-Men completists more than casual movie goers”
“Just as funny as the earlier films, but with more plot & character development, this is one hell of an encore”
“An epic fantasy that successfully combines cinematic battle sequences with the intimacy of Mulan’s personal journey”

“The central performances from the main three stars & the impressive VFX are enough to make this an enjoyable watch”

“Captures the energy, creativity & excitement of the stage production & sets a new benchmark for live theatre recordings”
