★★★★½
Organize İşler is Yılmaz Erdoğan's quick-witted Istanbul crime comedy about a gang of small-time swindlers, a much-quoted favourite of modern Turkish humour.
★★★★½
Parizaad is a Pakistani Urdu drama about a poetic outsider judged by his looks and his class, turned into something soulful by Ahmed Ali Akbar's lead performance.
Most critics have rated Perfect Blue as a clever, unnerving psychological thriller about fame and identity, though one early reviewer found it shallow and exploitative and even admirers conceded that its plot does not always cohere.
Most critics found Predator: Badlands a lively, surprisingly warm reinvention that makes a young Predator the hero, though a vocal minority felt the softer approach drains the series of its menace.
★★★★☆
Rewind is a Filipino time-travel melodrama in which a grieving husband gets a chance to relive the day he lost his family, anchored by Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.
★★★½☆
Sheriff: Narko Integriti is Syafiq Yusof's loud, crowd-pleasing Malaysian narcotics thriller, a 2024 box-office hit that trades subtlety for scale and momentum.
Most critics hailed Sinners as an original, ambitious and beautifully made blend of vampire horror and blues history, with reservations about its slow first hour and sprawling length.
Critics in 2012 largely hailed The Avengers as a witty, well-balanced ensemble blockbuster, crediting Joss Whedon's writing, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Tom Hiddleston's Loki, while noting a thin plot and faceless villains.
Critics were split on The Conjuring: Last Rites: several welcomed a heartfelt farewell for Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga's Warrens, but many found it overlong, overstuffed and short on fresh scares.
★★★½☆
The Herd is Daniel Etim Effiong's tense Nigerian kidnapping thriller, in which a wedding party is seized on the road home: timely and gripping, if overstuffed.
Critics largely admired The Long Walk as a bleak, gripping Stephen King adaptation powered by Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, though several wanted more depth beneath the brutality.
★★★★☆
The Medium is a Thai-Korean mockumentary about a shaman family in rural Isan, a slow-burning folk horror that turns genuinely frightening before an extreme finale.
Critics were split on The Running Man: many enjoyed Glen Powell and the kinetic action in Edgar Wright's Stephen King adaptation, while others found it overlong, blunt in its satire and short on Wright's usual wit.
Most critics found The Super Mario Galaxy Movie bright, busy and packed with Nintendo references but thin on story and character, though a few enjoyed it as a breezy, affectionate romp.
★★★☆☆
Tira is an eight-episode Indonesian superhero series from the Bumilangit universe, an ambitious streaming bet on local comics whose effects and pacing often wobble.
Most critics hailed Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery as a darker, funny and soulful Benoit Blanc case led by a standout Josh O'Connor, though some found it long and light on detection.
Critics widely praised Warfare as a gruelling, immersive real-time recreation of an Iraq War firefight, though some argued its refusal to give context or characters leaves it emotionally and politically hollow.
Critics largely praised Weapons as a clever, darkly funny and superbly structured horror mystery from Zach Cregger, though some felt its answers were less frightening than its questions.
Critics largely welcomed Zootopia 2 as a warm, funny and handsome sequel carried by the Judy and Nick partnership, while noting a weaker mystery than the original and a crowded story.
★★★★½
12 Angry Men is Sidney Lumet's 1957 jury-room drama, a lean study of prejudice and reasonable doubt that still grips like a thriller.
★★★★½
12th Fail is Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Hindi drama about a village boy chasing India's toughest civil service exam, an underdog story that earns its tears honestly.
★★★★½
1917 is Sam Mendes's First World War race against time, staged to look like one continuous shot, and a rare technical feat that keeps its humanity.
★★★★☆
2001: A Space Odyssey is Stanley Kubrick's vast, enigmatic science fiction landmark, still visually unmatched, though its chilly patience will not suit everyone.
★★★★☆
20th Century Girl is a Korean first-love drama set in 1999, a tender, nostalgic romance that runs on the charm of Kim You-jung and Byeon Woo-seok.
