The Monkey is a weird and fundamentally unserious, yet somehow still kind of moving experience. The end result is an absolutely fantastic time at the movies, a testament to taking wild career swings and giving the audience the maximum bang for their buck in terms of entertainment value.

If you’re looking for a film to watch with your family, this one won’t set your world on fire, but it’s sure to incite some excitement from younger audiences all the same.

“What lies beyond” Moana 2’s eye-catching animation and lavish island and ocean scenes, is a celebration of culture and identity that Disney has somehow gotten right after so many ill-fated attempts at representation in recent times.

Rumours is worth commending for its sheer gaul, but ultimately, it's biting off far more than it can chew.

For those willing to embrace its unique approach, Nash's film offers an off-kilter and strangely beautiful experience.

Longlegs still manages to stand out despite the abundance of highly effective and artful horror we are afforded in the modern era.

Monkey Man tells the story of a nameless young man, referred to in the credits as “Kid” and using the self-applied alias “Bobby”, a fighter at an underground boxing ring in Yatana, as he attempts to infiltrate the ranks of the powerful upper class to enact violent revenge for the massacre of his village - a story that mirrors the Hindu epic of Hanuman, the white monkey.

For those of you who are pro lesbian rights and pro lesbian wrongs, The Origin of Evil is the perfect Friday night French flick with all the lesbians, major plot twists, and tea you need!

A weirdo nightmare comedy going at exactly 2 horsepower (because it features two horses).
