Blood and Honey delivers on the promise of the marketing, bringing a truly bonkers idea to life. One can simply embrace what it presents without thought, but that feels incredibly difficult when the opening shows potential for something effective. What follows is a series of poorly acted, terribly written moments, with these unintentionally hilarious scenes filling the elongated time between the little flickers of genuine entertainment offered. Quite simply… an abysmal film.

65 2023
65 peaks when presenting its core relationship; something that is anchored very well by its central performances. However, those moments come few and far between a series of visually stunning, but hollow action set pieces. Tension isn’t present from the offset, and ultimately diminishes completely by the midway point. Not every film has to reinvent the genre, but this doesn’t even play to the conventions all that well either.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 2022
Set against the backdrop of the Fascist Regime, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio takes a much darker and human look at the beloved tale, and the narrative is all the better for it. Its engagement with the political context is thrilling, the themes of love and life remain strong, and the stop-motion animation work is truly stunning. The project had been a goal of Del Toro’s for a long time, and the passion is definitely there.

Knock at the Cabin 2023
Following the disappointment of Old, M. Night Shyamalan once again returns to form with Knock at the Cabin. Strong performances across the board carry this intense thriller from its chilling opening to the poignant end. In typical Shyamalan fashion, the plot navigates complex emotion with an intense central focus, drawing on biblical themes to give a slow-burn experience. The back and forth dynamic is constantly dowsed in doubt, giving little to nothing in the way of a definitive answer for the majority of the narrative, even if other plot points feel over explained at times.
