Twisters (2024) 75% EDIT “I’m happy to report that Twisters, a summer blockbuster about seeking and destroying tornados, spins in with a bang, not a whimper.” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review I Saw the TV Glow (2024) 85% EDIT “But as the film builds – staggers, really – to its conclusion, it is clear that the director has made something undeniably effective.” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 74% EDIT “The resort’s smiling, mostly mute staff are reminiscent of countless horrors, but most obviously Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning Get Out. ” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% EDIT “You never once have a sense of place in any of these worlds, not in the spinning halls of Shiz or the balconies of the Emerald City, which leaves you feeling like you’re stranded on a movie set: the lights are on, but nobody’s home. ” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% EDIT “Throughout all this monkey business – I know they’re different but this is my conclusion, let me have it – the most intriguing tension is between Mae and Noa, one that the film would have done well to explore more fully. ” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% EDIT “Dunst is terrific, cruising through the alarming, escalating, actually-too-much violence with a permanent shrug. ” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% EDIT “Perhaps it is a masterstroke of Safdie to hide such a small story amid all the theatrics, but you may wish that he had dreamed not so much bigger but a little weirder.” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “The big-screen adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet, which tells the story the Shakespeare family’s life, is a handsome, grounded affair. ” – Esquire UK Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “Three films in, that formula is fraying. The quips come as thick and fast as any Marvel film; the detailed explanations are very self-satisfied; there’s very little depth to the ballooning cast.” – Esquire UK Dec 12, 2025 Full Review A Different Man (2024) 93% EDIT “I enjoyed the chaos, which gleefully shows that life can be strange, unsatisfying, wild. And Schimberg is wise enough to know that for every plot twist, it really helps to have a really good punchline.” – Esquire UK Sep 22, 2025 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 80% EDIT “Even the seasons are off in this movie, with snow falling in the wrong months: evidence of a climate in crisis or simply one of Almodóvar’s whims? Whatever the answer, it looks damn good. No wonder Martha and Ingrid want to stick around.” – Esquire UK Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% EDIT “Grant is great, but the film is a drag. We will always have Paddington 2.” – Esquire UK Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% EDIT “It’s a shame that, among all that campy drama, the emotional impact is minimal: the story is simply so obvious, Lucius’ virtues so pure, and his journey to success so unchallenged that the ending arrives with a shrug, rather than an imperial thumbs up.” – Esquire UK Sep 22, 2025 Full Review September 5 (2024) 92% EDIT “ The film is too scared of saying the wrong thing that it does not say anything interesting at all. It is a Wikipedia entry caught on camera.” – Esquire UK Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% EDIT “A torn-off limb, misplaced weapons, unrecognisable bodies. It is the closest to frontline action many of us are likely to get. Thank god, but the glimpse is electrifying. ” – Esquire UK Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% EDIT “Conclave, with just enough creative license, has lifted the curtain on proceedings, revealing that it is quite simply one big popularity contest, is it any wonder so many of us cannot look away? Just call it Pope Idol.” – Esquire UK Aug 11, 2025 Full Review The Phoenician Scheme (2025) 77% EDIT “Anderson’s flourishes make the film come alive both with a storybook sweetness and some look-away moments of gore. It is frequently invigorating.” – Esquire UK Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% EDIT “Thank god Guadagnino leans into the sport’s sex appeal. This is a man who relishes spoiled peaches, human hearts, short shorts, and has now assembled three of Hollywood’s most buzzy actors for a two-hour endorphin rush. ” – Esquire UK Aug 11, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “For diehard fans, there is definitely enough to pique interest in Marvel’s upcoming phase. For the rest of us, you might find yourself wishing to spend more in the Fantastic Four’s sitting room, just hanging with the gang. Overall, I’d call that a win.” – Esquire UK Jul 25, 2025 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% EDIT “Only when the credits began to roll did I realise that, a little like Arthur on his never ending pursuit, I had been holding my breath, waiting for a moment of discovery. ” – Esquire UK Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “The opening conceit proves a little too on-the-nose: these dinosaurs, no matter what mutations they may be, are wearing awfully thin. The scares are limited, the thrills non-existent.” – Esquire UK Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “Some neat ideas, though Gunn would do well to follow his more minimal instincts to tell this particular story. Superman has to save the world, of course, but he also has to get the girl.” – Esquire UK Jul 20, 2025 Full Review
