"Described as a “razor sharp” commentary on the pitfalls of dating, it is in actual fact, a rather more blunt-edged depiction." James Mahon reviews Cat Person, in cinemas this Friday.

“Mother and Son (Léonor Serraille, 2022) is a film that is deeply human, powerful and filled with love. It invites us warmly into a family space that is established and specific.” Isabella Hogg reviews Mother and Son, out now.

"The whole enterprise is a paint-by-numbers affair. It follows its outlined formula to a tee. Rodriguez as a director provides little innovation or subversion of the genre's most tired devices." James Mahon reviews Hypnotic, in cinemas now. #Hypnotic
