It does feel at this stage of his career that Pedro Almodóvar is unearthing something with his films, anxieties about growing old, growing frail, seeing the passing of what was towards the inevitability of what must be. 'The Room Next Door' is yet another breathtaking piece in that ongoing exploration, a gesture of humanity from its creators and a gift of generosity to its audience.

'The Apprentice' is not going be for everyone. People who support him won't like how he is depicted, and understandably people who hate him don't want to hear about him. But the film is well acted, led by a career-defining performance by Stan.

'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' will leave you dead with how good a sequel it is. It's everything you could want and more. We get to revisit this outlandish, (ironically) lively world - and find it's only grown spectacularly in our absence.

The fun of 'The Substance' is seeing how far writer/director Coralie Fargeat can push the audience when they have no idea what's coming. It's all incredibly confronting but essential to the film's point of just how far some will go when suffering intense insecurity and loneliness.

'Inside' isn't reinventing the Aussie thriller, but it does establish Williams as a filmmaker who could see his name someday fall in the same sentence as Justin Kurzel, Thomas M. Wright or David Michôd. It's a film that rightfully demands to be talked about.
