Mother Mary review: Anne Hathaway’s pop star turn deserved a better story A troubled pop star reunites with her former friend and costume designer after 10 years.

Mother Mary is a frustrating watch. Don't cast Anne Hathaway as a Taylor Swift/Lady Gaga-style pop star and then put her in a vague, slow supernatural story.

The Plague review: Psychological warfare at summer camp A socially anxious outsider endures bullying at a water polo summer camp.

The Plague, a fantastic psychological thriller about bullying at a water polo camp, is another film that's sadly flown under the radar here. It's well worth checking out, especially for the impressive newcomers Everett Blunck and Kayo Martin. On digital now.

Couture review: Angelina Jolie shines in compelling fashion drama Angelina Jolie plays a filmmaker who receives a cancer diagnosis during Paris Fashion Week.

Couture, starring Angelina Jolie in a deeply personal role, has been released on digital platforms in the UK with little fanfare. It's a shame because Jolie's excellent performance deserves to be seen more widely.

The Blue Trail review: A genre-blending coming-of-age story A 77-year-old rebels against her dystopian society and embarks on an adventure along the Amazon.

The Blue Trail is an unusual, genre-blending movie about a 77-year-old who rebels against her dystopian society's rules and goes on an adventure along the Amazon. It's refreshing, wacky and a bit of a mixed bag. In cinemas now.

The Wizard of a Kremlin review: What a long, densely-written slog This film charts the rise of fictional Kremlin spin doctor Vadim Baranov (Paul Dano).

The Wizard of the Kremlin is a long, dry and dense political drama about a fictional Russian spin doctor (Paul Dano). The novelty of seeing Jude Law as Vladimir Putin wears off quickly, and I was very distracted by Law speaking in his natural British accent.

Rebuilding review: Poignant portrait of resilience and community A cowboy tries to rebuild his life after losing his home and livelihood in a devastating wildfire.

Josh O'Connor has been on a prolific run of late, and his next film, Rebuilding, is my favourite so far. It's a simple, poignant film about resilience, community and finding hope during hardship. In cinemas Friday.

Father Mother Sister Brother review: Too slow and understated Jim Jarmusch's anthology film depicts a trio of family reunions.

Jim Jarmusch's Father Mother Sister Brother may have won the Golden Lion at Venice last year, but it is far too slow, quiet and understated for me. I wasn't a fan of this low-key triptych of family reunions, despite the top cast. In cinemas now.

You, Me & Tuscany review: Beautiful visuals, ridiculous story An American squats in an empty Tuscan villa and falls in love with the owner's cousin.

Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page both deserve better than You, Me & Tuscany, which revolves around such a contrived, ridiculous story. However, it's quite charming, funny and beautiful to look at, so audiences may still dig it. In cinemas today.

California Schemin’ review: Hilarity ensues in unbelievable true story A Scottish rap duo pretend to be American in order to succeed in the music industry.

I had a great time with James McAvoy's directorial debut California Schemin', a hilarious, entertaining film based on an unbelievable true story. Seamus McLean Ross and Samuel Bottomley are terrific together as the Scottish rap duo Silibil N' Brains.

The Drama review: You aren’t ready for this wild movie Emma derails her wedding by revealing the worst thing she's ever done to her fiancé and friends.

The Drama, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, is not a straightforward romcom about an imminent wedding. It is an uncomfortable, cringe-inducing comedy-drama about the fallout of a shocking revelation. In cinemas Friday.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie review: Easter eggs over plot Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad and Peach embark on a mission to rescue Rosalina from Bowser Jr.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is in cinemas today. The overall plot is weak and unfocused, but there are so many fun references and exciting, nostalgic moments that I still enjoyed it anyway.

They Will Kill You starts off really strong, with impeccable Kill Bill vibes, gruesome violence and Zazie Beetz kicking ass. But the novelty wears off pretty quickly and it totally lost me by the end. In cinemas today.

DJ Ahmet review: A feel-good film with great soundtrack A reluctant farmer, his mute brother and his neighbour escape from reality using dance music.

Splitsville review: Brilliant comedy about messy relationships A man going through a divorce sleeps with his best friend's wife, testing the boundaries of their open relationship.

I highly recommend Splitsville, starring Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona. The "unromantic comedy" is hilarious and sharply written and features some memorable farcical moments. The film's lead, Kyle Marvin, is now on my radar. In cinemas Friday.

Lunar Sway review: Noah Parker shines in queer coming-of-age story A bored, directionless queer man goes on an unexpected adventure with his birth mother.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come review – not a patch on the original Grace must participate in another deadly game of hide and seek with an organisation of satanists.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come isn't a patch on the original, but I still had a lot of fun with Samara Weaving, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathryn Newton! There's still plenty of gore and comedy, but the plot and writing aren't as strong this time. In cinemas now.

The Good Boy review: Stephen Graham shines in twisted thriller Tommy, a menace to society, is abducted and put through an unusual rehabilitation programme.

The Good Boy is a dark, twisted and unusual thriller with stellar performances from Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough as the unhinged captors. However, it's a bit too long and I would have liked more backstory. In cinemas Friday.

Reminders of Him review: Bin the romance, keep the family drama Kenna returns to her hometown after a stint in prison and has to fight to see her young daughter.

Contrived storylines and unrealistic character decisions are to be expected with a Colleen Hoover movie adaptation, and Reminder of Him is no exception. That being said, the family drama is interesting and Lauren Graham made me cry. In cinemas today.

How to Make a Killing review: A disappointing dark comedy Glen Powell's Becket kills off his wealthy family members to get his hands on his inheritance.

How to Make a Killing, starring Glen Powell, is a dark comedy thriller that is nowhere near funny or thrilling enough. It has some good moments (shout out to Zach Woods and Topher Grace) but it's ultimately underwhelming. In cinemas today.

Zootropolis 2 is now streaming on Disney+! It doesn't quite reach the heights of the original, but it is another supremely entertaining outing with Nick and Judy. It works on different age levels - kids will dig the fun and adults will get its political messaging.
