Review of My Father's Dragon (2022)

By John Nugent (191) for Empire (3,446) on 11 Nov 2022

Review of Both Sides of the Blade (2022)

Review of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)

By John Nugent (191) for Empire (3,446) on 31 Oct 2022

Review of Causeway (2022)

By John Nugent (191) for Empire (3,446) on 31 Oct 2022

Solid, but understated to a fault. Causeway’s biggest appeal is seeing Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry act up a quiet, powerful storm…

Review of Call Jane (2022)

By Laura Venning (6) for Empire (3,446) on 31 Oct 2022
