A monster movie with a giant heart: Top Gun: Maverick showed us there’s still an audience for movies that combine concise and creative action with emotionally resonant characters. Godzilla Minus One is another reminder - and quite possibly the better movie of the two.

Phoenix is the key to it all: a performance as robust as the glass of burgundy he knocks back: preening, brooding, seething and triumphing.

Napoleon is the anti-Great Man biopic: Finally, an epic celebrating history’s most accomplished cuck. It isn’t a movie about grand triumph, or about disastrous failure. It’s a story about masculine insecurity, and how it can reduce the world to violence.

An epic of creeping, existential horror about the birth of the American century, a macabre tale of quasi-genocidal serial killings.. This is an utterly absorbing film, a story that Scorsese sees as a secret history of American power, a hidden violence epidemic polluting the water table of humanity.
