Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Here is a film that tries everything and commits to nothing. Condon and his cast give it loads, but the finished product is slow, watery and tonally uneven. ” – Irish Independent Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Another dull Mummy flick? I’m afraid so. Cronin will have better days.” – Irish Independent Apr 16, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 73% 3/5 EDIT “This film feels like something of a choppy companion piece to that renowned 2007 crowd-pleaser. It’s nicely shot with excellent sound design. But a few original ideas and a tidier third act wouldn’t have hurt.” – Irish Independent Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Sweet, sincere and refreshingly straightforward, Father Mother Sister Brother keeps things tidy and compassionate, and is quite unlike anything else you’ll see at the pictures this year.” – Irish Independent Apr 8, 2026 Full Review One Last Deal (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Distasteful plot twists pile up, and Jimmy is a very difficult geezer to root for. But Dyer – an actor in the midst of a well-deserved career renaissance – embraces the chaos and plays a strong solo game. Nice dancing, too.” – Irish Independent Mar 13, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Margaret Qualley and Topher Grace lend a hand – but it’s the Powell Show, all the way, and our charming Texan friend elevates another ordinary big-screen diversion. Imagine what he could do with a real hit.” – Irish Independent Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Trim, accessible and refreshingly coherent, the film accomplishes what the final two seasons could not: it tells a proper story, it follows a straight line and it gives its cranky, chain-smoking lead a genuinely thrilling send-off.” – Irish Independent Mar 5, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 58% 1/5 EDIT “It’s an ugly, irritating film, the kind that makes good performers look bad. Buckley, a victim of shoddy writing and toneless direction, deserves better.” – Irish Independent Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 30% 2/5 EDIT “Dull for the first half and confusing in the second, Scream 7 is utterly preposterous and entirely inconsequential; a horror without brains, wit and imagination. ” – Irish Independent Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “McCartney’s golden commentary anchors and enriches this riveting and rewarding project.” – Irish Independent Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Goofy, scrappy and unforgivably chatty, Cold Storage could do with some sharper jokes and bigger scares.” – Irish Independent Feb 19, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It’s all close-ups and close calls, arguments and tantrums, and this stressful, feverish film will have you sweating. ” – Irish Independent Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 64% 1/5 EDIT “Janky visual effects lower the tone and there is a sense throughout of Hardy and Egerton making up the rules – and the dialogue – as they go along. Do ­yourself a favour and rewatch Final ­Destination instead.” – Irish Independent Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% 3/5 EDIT “You don’t make a film this showy, this unapologetically raunchy without hoping for a big reaction. It’s on the way, I’d bet. Just don’t go taking any of it too seriously.” – Irish Independent Feb 9, 2026 Full Review A Quiet Love (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Big topics – too big for a shared space, perhaps – and this eager, heartfelt documentary sometimes gets in its own way. But you’ll be glad you watched it.” – Irish Independent Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “The less you know about this one, the better. Intelligent and inventive, Sweeney’s unconventional grief comedy is full of surprises and is next-to-impossible to discuss without spoiling.” – Irish Independent Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “True, Godard was a pain in the neck, and the real Breathless shoot caused a great deal of stress for its cast and crew. This witty and enchanting reconstruction, however, looks as if it was a joy to make, from start to finish.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “This isn’t a film about telling jokes; it’s about what happens when couples forget to make the effort with one another. It’s also a bit of a hoot.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “There is a sense of strain throughout this respectable, warm-hearted film from director Philippa ­Lowthorpe and co-writer Emma ­Donoghue. A ­responsibility, perhaps, to honour the ­nature side of Helen’s tale, and the real human drama. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 69% 3/5 EDIT “Give [Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor] the spotlight, and a tale worthy of it, and The History of Sound reaches dizzying heights. Keep them apart and this film loses its sheen and its colour. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “It shouldn’t work, but there isn’t another actor in the world who could take such a sappy and implausible premise and turn it into something genuinely uplifting.” – Irish Independent Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 2/5 EDIT “Instead, screenwriter Garland and DaCosta (hired to direct a zombie film with very few zombies) prioritise this icky Jimmy nonsense. It’s an unfortunate misstep, nasty and mean-spirited, and there isn’t much O’Connell can do to help.” – Irish Independent Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Giant (2025) 61% 2/5 EDIT “...Giant is too broad, too cartoonish, and talks too much without ever really finding its voice.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 79% 3/5 EDIT “If there is such a thing as a bad SpongeBob film, I haven’t seen it. Always a laugh, even on an off-day, the barmy, square-bottomed sea sponge continues to charm, and this vibrant cartoon adventure – directed by Derek Drymon – is as wacky as you’d expect.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “lt makes for a woozy, disorientating experience, the kind you won't be in a rush to repeat. Trashy, joyless codswallop.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 16, 2025 Full Review
