A Big Bold Beautiful Journey movie review: Margot Robbie, Colin Farrell film is insipid, meandering
September 19, 2025 18:03 IST
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey movie review: Margot Robbie, Colin Farrell film aims to tie it all up neatly with the curious logic that rather than 'being happy', one should 'try and be content'. Not big, bold, beautiful, or even a romance, is it?

The Toxic Avenger movie review: Peter Dinklage shines in gory yet self-aware reboot
September 19, 2025 16:34 IST
The Toxic Avenger movie review: At the end of the day, the reason for this film’s revival is as gratuitous as its graphic violence – a chain reaction to superhero hits.

The Long Walk movie review: The Francis Lawrence is brutal and unnervingly timely
September 12, 2025 20:13 IST

Downton Abbey The Grand Finale movie review: What The Grand Finale gets right is in framing the inevitability of change, be it in the passing of Maggie Smith, who was the queen empress of the Downton Abbey once, or in the retirements of old helps at the castle.

The Conjuring Last Rites Movie Review: With no real jump scares, horror franchise deserved a better send-off
September 05, 2025 18:39 IST
The Conjuring Last Rites Movie Review & Rating: There is too much happening to too many people to make any sort of a coherent narrative, so much so that the demon-fighting itself is crunched.

September 05, 2025 15:11 IST
Baaghi 4 Movie Review and Rating: One star to Tiger Shroff film for surprising us every time we think Ronny surely has butchered enough, or when you think Sanjay Dutt can’t be doing his maniacal laugh one more time.

Relay movie review: Riz Ahmed deserves a better film
August 22, 2025 19:08 IST
Relay movie review: For all his professionalism, Riz Ahmed's Ash comes off as pretty juvenile. Lily James' Sarah, for a brilliant scientist, can’t figure out that keeping blinds closed may be one way of throwing stalkers off scent.

I Know What You Did Last Summer movie review: A slasher sequel that can’t escape its pastSubscriber Only
July 18, 2025 14:46 IST
Guessing who dies first, in what sequence, and who does not, may keep you hooked – no pun intended. Though clearly the killer hasn’t spent much thought on planning, given how many times the victims fight back and get away.

Jurassic World Rebirth movie review: Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey film keeps heart both pounding and beatingSubscriber Only
July 04, 2025 14:29 IST
Jurassic World Rebirth movie review: This is the seventh film in the Jurassic series, and the wonder of seeing dinosaurs stride across the screen has naturally worn off over the past 30 years. The best makers can hope for is awe, and Rebirth does capture that – till it starts repeating itself.

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.

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.
