The Revenant isn’t be for everyone. Many of you will be squeamish in so many parts.

And even though it’s technically impressive – filled with breathtaking cinematography and those long-staged shots Inarritu chases – the film is kinda short on dialogue (big on grunts) and pretty thin on characterisation while being unapologetically cruel and startlingly realistic with its violence.

It’s a one-joke movie but the joke is funny. But in the land of zom-coms, it does pale in comparison to Shaun Of The Dead and others like Zombieland and iZombie.

The film also has an overt theme of female empowerment – almost like Jane Austen on steroids. These feisty female warriors would make any feminist proud because they’re not merely surviving, but charging off into battle to save their beaus from rampaging zombie hordes.

Spotlight isn’t a big, flashy movie, but it’s a beautifully told story that says something important about our world. It is a movie I think everyone should see.

It relies heavily on rom-com tropes, but it’s a perfect Valentine’s Day weekend viewing choice – whether you’re in a committed relationship or simply enjoying the single life.

It’s gratuitously violent. It’s puerile, crass, meta and it goes to the ends of the earth to earn that R rating.

In short, it’s everything Deadpool should be.

Most likely, The Choice is perfect for anyone looking for a fix of romance that is entirely divorced from reality. Most likely, that includes anyone who is a fan of Nicholas Sparks’ books or past movies based on them. Or Harlequin Romance devotees.

Basically, if you’ve seen one film adapted from a Nicholas Sparks book, you’ve seen them all.

The Finest Hours is all about action, suspense and tension – it rarely lets its audience down on any of those accounts. But it’s still a strictly procedural film and doesn’t exactly break new ground.

But it’s at least 10 times more fun than Ron Howard’s recent high seas drama – In the Heart of the Sea.

Room may be a film about entrapment, but it’s also one about liberation, about letting go of one’s fears and moving on from trauma.

At one point Jack asks to be shorn of the hair he has been cultivating since infancy. It’s a revelatory, transformative moment in a film you won’t find nearly so easy to say goodbye to.

If you’re looking to be repeatedly scared and shocked, The Boy isn’t for you.

The film finds a nice mix between comedic antics and outright social commentary.

It captures the staunchly irreverent spirit of the books, with the movie giving much of its focus to the overall buffoonery of the residents of its absurd version of history.

Old, young, whatever age: everyone should watch this one.
