June 20, 2025 09:12 IST
28 Years Later Movie Review: The ending is rushed and, a lot of it, an appendage. However, entertained you are – and anticipating what comes next.

The Ritual movie review: Even Al Pacino can’t save this spiritless exorcism taleSubscriber Only
June 19, 2025 14:18 IST
The Ritual review: A lot does happen, but a lot of the same, same. Sudden snarling and attacking, rolling of the eyes, twisting of the limbs, levitating of bodies, things moving, walls cracking – nothing you haven’t seen before.

Materialists movie review: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans film takes a clinical view of love in times of dating appsSubscriber Only
June 13, 2025 17:13 IST
Materialists movie review: If Celine Song's wistful and much-lauded Past Lives was about old romances and new lives, Materialists ends up being a film about never-too-old romances and did-you-really-think-new lives.

June 13, 2025 16:53 IST

June 13, 2025 09:36 IST
From the World of John Wick Ballerina movie review: The elements are all there in the John Wick spinoff, which has tragedy, Tchaikovsky and tribes rolled into one – not to mention a lone Sikh mixed up with brainwashed Slavs.

Karate Kid Legends movie review: Jackie Chan, Ben Wang film is worth rooting forSubscriber Only
May 30, 2025 15:59 IST
Karate Kid Legends movie review: Ben Wang, Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio film has the moves and lands its karate kid on his feet – but it flutters rather than floats like a butterfly and pricks rather than stings like a bee.

Lilo & Stitch movie review: A serviceable return of a beloved filmSubscriber Only
May 23, 2025 14:57 IST
Lilo & Stitch movie review: Perhaps too much has changed since 2002 to expect quietude to be the heart of a mainstream film. Still, Lilo & Stitch at least manages a world untouched by violence or malice. We can live with that.

May 23, 2025 10:47 IST
Bhool Chuk Maaf movie review: Despite its cast including good actors like Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, the film feels like such a stew of Ghat meets Groundhog Day.

Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning movie review: Tom Cruise’s last rodeo as Ethan Hunt makes a feeble appeal for a united worldSubscriber Only
May 17, 2025 14:54 IST
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning movie review: The film is an ode to Tom Cruise. In its numerous flashbacks to the previous M:I films, it underlines the times Ethan Hunt saved the world, and honours the people he loved and lost.

May 15, 2025 17:56 IST

Shadow Force movie review: Kerry Washington, Omar Sy-starrer is a run-of-the-mill affairSubscriber Only
May 09, 2025 17:11 IST
Shadow Force review: Kerry Washington and Omar Sy’s bickering is a pitiable shot at doing a Mrs and Mrs Smith, which clearly filmmaker Joe Carnaghan too realises, moving quickly away every time they get into friendly ribbing or bickering.

May 01, 2025 15:45 IST

Sinners movie review: Music is the elixir in Michael B Jordan’s gripping Southern horrorSubscriber Only
April 18, 2025 18:51 IST
Sinners movie review: Michael B Jordan is effortless as the two men from whom we can't tear our eyes away, who are as many parts good, grieving men trying to do some good as cool-headed businessmen. He packs both charisma and raw strength here.

Paddington in Peru movie review: Third time’s not the charmSubscriber Only
April 18, 2025 18:50 IST
Paddington in Peru review: Paddington in Peru does not have the charm or the wit or the plaintive appeal of the first two films on the bear, as conceived by Paul King, whose very essence was finding its feet and home in the big city.

Drop movie review: Predictable thriller phones it inSubscriber Only
April 11, 2025 18:29 IST
Drop movie review: We mostly know where Drop is going, and in that, the film is predictable, its stars Fahy and Sklenar boringly pleasant.

Warfare movie review: Bareboned film on battle of Ramadi accurately showcases futility of warSubscriber Only
April 11, 2025 17:25 IST
Warfare movie review: With limited dialogues, no showboating, and neither moralising nor lecturing, it illustrates the futility of America’s foray(s) into Iraq, with scared men on both sides shooting at each other, often randomly and repeatedly.

The Amateur movie review: Overstuffed Rami Malek tale of revenge fails to satisfySubscriber Only
April 10, 2025 16:05 IST
The Amateur movie review: In this film that has so much stuffed into a basic tale of revenge that it can barely give time to anything, everything is almost as wispy as vapour, not the smoke-and-mirrors look director James Hawes is going for.

A Minecraft Movie review: Jason Momoa, Jack Black keep the jokes going in predictable filmSubscriber Only
April 04, 2025 16:38 IST

Presence movie review: The Spirit is WillingSubscriber Only
April 04, 2025 16:18 IST

Snow White movie review: Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot star in a bland adaptation with sub-magical actorsSubscriber Only
March 21, 2025 17:49 IST
Snow White movie review: Films, especially those born of fairy tales, must also mirror our times. In trying to be everything, Snow White falls between these two mirrors, without shattering any glass ceiling.

Locked movie review: Dead in the DriveSubscriber Only
March 21, 2025 14:50 IST
Locked movie review: The film is set in a land Rover, but even the million-dollar ride can’t hold the weight of this film where income inequality wrestles liberal permissiveness wrestles old vs young world view wrestles cancel culture wrestles Dostoevsky wrestles daddy guilt.
