My definitive top ten of 2019’s cinematic releases

“Despite a by-the-numbers plot & inconsistent tone, it’s enjoyable enough family-friend entertainment”

“May surprise you not only with its outlandish comedic tone, but also with its unexpectedly touching emotional moments”

“Nanjiani & Bautista can make anything watchable, but this feels like a wasted opportunity”

“This deliberately eccentric film is likely to infuriate a lot of viewers, but taken for what it is, it’s actually quite good fun”

“A passable, if fairly forgettable, man-versus-nature thriller, lifted by a convincing performance by Kaya Scodelario”

“A crushing disappointment which lacks any depth & wastes an amazing premise”

“An enjoyable action-adventure spy film, but one which struggles to stand out from the crowd”

“Gives long-time fans a perfect blend of humour, nostalgia & heart”

“Funny, gripping & poignant, with a complex & multi-layered friendship at its heart”

“A smart & original take on the coming-of-age teen comedy genre”

A selection of my favourite bits and pieces from 2019

“A love-letter to, and celebration of, the entire Star Wars universe”

“Knowingly over-the-top & not taking itself too seriously, this could be a ‘so bad, it’s good’ guilty pleasure”

“One of this year’s most joyous, fun, heart-warming, exciting, funny & uplifting pieces of escapist, family-friendly fun”

“The cast ensure that the film is never dull, but it ‘does what it says on the tin’ rather than bring anything new to the genre”

“A poignant & thoughtful crime epic from some of the greatest filmmakers of their generation”

“A whodunit mystery that not only acts as a tribute to the Agatha Christie classics, but which also can stand proudly beside them”

“An unexpectedly good sequel, with the three dimensional characters, stirring musical numbers, and subverted expectations”
