Dumbo (out Mar 28) should satisfy younger audiences but the simplistic storyline and one-note villain (played by a boring Michael Keaton) will do little to lure adults. It's the tale of a young elephant who becomes a sensation as part of a travelling circus. Grade: B-.

Us (out Mar 28) is the second feature film from writer-director Jordan Peele (after 2017's Get Out) and is the story of a family on a summer vacation in California who find themselves terrified by… themselves. The film is a hot mess - a lot of great ideas but the narrative feels over-manufactured in places to fit with a certain message/metaphor. Still see it though! Grade: B+.

Five Feet Apart (out Mar 28) is the story of two teenagers, both suffering with cystic fibrosis, who are prepared to risk their lives in pursuit of love. The most interesting element is the way in which the internet and social media can be used as a positive tool for those suffering with cystic fibrosis. It's just a shame the romantic elements are so schmaltzy and melodramatic. Grade: B-.

Inventing Tomorrow (out Mar 21) is a short, simple documentary that follows a group of teenagers trying to develop technology that will help save the environment while also winning awards at the ISEF - the "science fair of science fairs". Grade: B.

Destroyer (out Mar 21) features a stunning physical transformation from Nicole Kidman. It's certainly not stereotypical look that you’d expect for a cop. She plays a tired, forlorn member of the LAPD still trying to escape the aftermath of a Palm Springs bank robbery 15 years ago. It's a little uneven in places but Kidman's strong performance makes this an intriguing tale. Grade: B+.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (out Mar 21) will be must-see viewing for fans of the 2014 release but it's thinner in terms of originality and storyline. Grade: B-.

Swimming with Men (out Mar 21) is an unnecessarily goofy comedy about a group of British guys who form a synchronised swimming team and enter a major competition. It's based on actual events but very little about the screenplay rings true. Attempts at humour (e.g. the guy with a criminal past) are just strange. Grade: C-.

Fighting with My Family (out Mar 21) is based on the true story of a teenager from Norwich, England who tried to become a professional wrestler in the WWE. Writer-director Stephen Merchant was drawn to the story's many genres (comedy, drama, suspense) and it's easy to see why given the terrific finished product. This is a fun movie with a big heart and something to say. Grade: A-.

Sometimes Always Never (out Mar 14) focuses on a semi-retired tailor (Bill Nighy) who has never fully come to grips with the disappearance of his son roughly two decades ago. The interaction between the characters should serve as the film’s heart but given some of the scenarios are so odd and hard-to-believe (such as the finale itself), the emotional impact is lessened. Grade: B-.

Hotel Mumbai (out Mar 14) is spread across roughly 3 days and follows a group of people caught up in terrorist attack at a luxurious Indian hotel in 2008. Delving into the ways people react when faced with a life-threatening situation, this movie is both unsettling and inspiring. Grade: B+.
