3/5
Diamanti (2024) Luisa Blacker If you manage to turn off your brain a little and scoff at the director’s delusions of grandeur, Diamanti is a feast.

4/5
The Blue Trail (2025) Emily Maskell The real magic of this film is Weinberg’s punctilious performance.

2/5
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) David Jenkins This rejection of basic authenticity just makes it extremely hard to care what happens to these characters, and it’s a film that ends up going through the spooky motions, albeit with sound effects turned up to eleven.

2/5
Rebuilding (2025) Laura Venning The film’s most fundamental flaw is its inoffensive, overall unchallenging pleasantness, both in the rather generic story of Dusty bonding with his daughter and one too many shots of him staring morosely out over the Colorado mountains.

3/5
The Stranger (2025) David Jenkins Where Ozon presents as an ironist in much of his work, skewering genres and retro styles, there’s a refreshing seriousness to this mad endeavour that demands attention, even when some of the choices he makes don’t feel entirely right.

California Schemin' (2025) David Jenkins Its feelgood arc is all a little predictable and soft-edged.

1/5
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Yasmine Kandil Even lackluster material can be elevated by a smouldering couple…though You, Me & Tuscany sorely lacks this key ingredient.

2/5
undertone (2025) Hannah Strong Kiri is set up for failure by Tuason’s script, which draws straight from the most uninspired corners of Creepypasta forums with its ​“nursery rhymes played backwards contain demonic messages” premise.

5/5
Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Blake Simons Jarmusch’s film thrives in acknowledging the ultimate unknowability of our parents.

4/5
Two Women (2025) Kaeah Sen While neither director nor screenwriter seem to have anything more substantial to say about female pleasure beyond the fact that it's important, you do nevertheless find yourself cheering for Florence and Violette when they embrace their selfish side.

3/5
D is for Distance (2025) Marina Ashioti It’s a strange gambit that doesn’t entirely pay off, the dense web of associations occasionally derailing the gravitas of an otherwise grounded film about the fragility of memory and identity.

5/5
My Undesirable Friends: Part I - Last Air in Moscow (2024) David Jenkins What’s surprising about the film is how hopeful it is, zeroing in on human creativity and resilience during the worst of times rather than wallowing in abject misery.

3/5
Kim Novak's Vertigo (2025) David Jenkins It’s a slick package, but lacks for a true sense of purpose.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Fuze (2025) Hannah Strong The resulting film is an uneven one – occasional flashes of intrigue are hampered by Fuze​’s strange structure and uncertainty about how funny it wants to be.

1/5
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) David Jenkins What’s most disappointing is that the raw talent is all there, and every single person involved here can be proud of having made quality, soulful, intelligent work in the past.

4/5
The Drama (2026) Hannah Strong The prickly tension between fantasy and reality in The Drama feels particularly well-judged, both in the relationship between Charlie and Emma and within Emma’s dark confession.
Posted Apr 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Mariinka (2026) Hannah Strong There’s something truly haunting about Mariinka and the way it captures an entire generation lost to a war playing out before our eyes.
Posted Mar 28, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) David Jenkins The filmmaker draws some arresting audiovisual cues into the patchwork of images, but the film lacks some of the goofy wit of British documentarian Adam Curtis, whose own provocative essays at least offer some element of surprise.
Posted Mar 28, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
They Will Kill You (2026) Anton Bitel It is a satisfying cartoon fantasy of sisterhood and solidarity.
Posted Mar 28, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) David Jenkins The film is ambling, gentle and doesn’t strain too hard to force a point, but allows you to appreciate the multifarious nature of life in a city where the spectre of destruction lurks ominously in the clouds.

3/5
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Hannah Strong While Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett had delivered a sequel which is ultimately entertaining and glides by easily on the strength of its cast and gleeful bloodshed, there is a sense that fresh ideas are a little thin on the ground.

2/5
Abode (2025) Luisa Blacker Abode unfortunately caps things off with its weakest story.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) Billie Walker Despite Boon matching Graham’s quiet intensity and Riseborough’s low frequency depression with a gnashing rebellious streak, the three performances can’t lift The Good Boy from the limitations of its own tethered melodrama.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Arco (2025) Michael Leader This is primary-colour, major-key storytelling. It is disarming, charming and unafraid to be sincere – especially when it comes to the sparks of inspiration, creativity and connection that are so fundamental to human existence.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Monica Castillo While not entirely flawless in its execution, Taccone’s Over Your Dead Body is a thrilling and hilarious horror movie that delivers plenty of plot twists and gruesome wounds.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Monica Castillo It’s hilarious and moving, thrilling and suspenseful, a showcase for its talent to shine beyond the trappings of the standard straight-to-streaming action fare.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Monica Castillo While the mystery is fun to piece together and add its share of scares, the real treat of ​“Forbidden Fruits” is rooted in how easy it is to poison our need for friendship.

3/5
Broken English (2025) Katherine McLaughlin Instead of using talking heads for conjecture and opinion, it is Faithfull herself who is filmed admiring and lamenting her life. That is what sets this documentary apart as it delicately crafts intimate moments.

3/5
Project Hail Mary (2026) Hannah Strong Gosling's presence in Project Hail Mary is a canny move and integral to the film's success.

2/5
Scarlet (2025) Callie Petch Neither Scarlet or Hijiri are developed or entertaining enough characters to sell the raging heartfelt emotions Hosada has successfully pulled off before.

3/5
Everybody to Kenmure Street (2026) David Jenkins There’s definitely a rousing prescience to a film like this at such a politically precarious moment, and perhaps we should take this rare happy ending with a pinch of salt.

2/5
A Pale View of Hills (2025) David Jenkins The story is not particularly forthright in articulating its themes and ideas, and while that may work in the slow-burn pages of a novel, it just feels contrived and manipulative up there on the screen.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Reminders of Him (2026) Emma Kiely Reminders of Him is a grim dose of misery and trauma porn punctuated by a terrible lead performance and an undeniable conservative sheen.

2/5
How to Make a Killing (2026) Hannah Strong It’s a song and dance we’ve seen before, with both Powell and Qualley operating on cruise control.
Posted Mar 12, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Great Arch (2025) David Jenkins It’s a solid, well-made culture-clash drama that does manage to provide a little more insight and emotion than would come from scanning von Spreckelsen’s Wiki bio.

5/5
Resurrection (2025) Josh Slater-Williams Despite a framing device that vaguely ties its disparate stories together, there’s an extent to which Bi Gan’s Resurrection is essentially a glorified anthology film. But oh, how glorious its sights and sounds truly are.

THE BRIDE! (2026) Hannah Strong The Bride! doesn’t have a single original thought worth pursuing.

Hoppers (2026) Hannah Strong A sound voice cast and some genuinely fun quips make Hoppers a pleasant caper.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) David Jenkins Top marks go to the composer Daniel Blumberg, whose richly cacophonous achievement here is head-spinning to say the least.

4/5
The Moment (2026) Hannah Strong Refusing to take itself too seriously, this spirited contemporary period piece captures some of the insanity that was brat summer – but crucially reminds us there’s something to be said for knowing when to leave the party.

4/5
Wasteman (2025) Molly Lipson Wasteman, the debut feature film from director Cal McMau, is exceptionally gritty, brutal and claustrophobic; its tight shots give us nowhere to escape to when violence ensues.

4/5
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Emily Maskell By the time EPiC reaches its swan song, a euphoric performance of ​“Suspicious Minds”, it becomes clear Luhrmann has created no average Elvis documentary nor repetitive concert film.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Kambole Campbell It’s pure, joyful cartooning, the likes of which has no expiry date.

4/5
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) David Jenkins With its vibrant use of colour, expressive character design and flights of expressionist fancy, Little Amélie offers a lyrical vision of early-years development and so much more.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Whistle (2025) Patrick Sproull There was room to do something ridiculous here – it bears repeating: this is a film about a killer whistle. Why is it taking itself so seriously?
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Crime 101 (2026) Hannah Strong The lack of curiosity about its own material prevents Crime 101 from truly setting itself apart; moments of intrigue and minor thrills seem destined to fade away in the memory rather than inspire future imitators.

1/5
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Esther Rosenfield The film is structured around flashbacks showing how each member of Rockwell’s team came to the diner that night. Each one plays like a rejected Black Mirror episode, full of painfully obvious satirical broadsides at modern technology.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The President's Cake (2025) Marina Ashioti Filtering the tale through Lamia’s childlike whimsy allows the colourful, polished cinematography to sing.

3/5
It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025) Claire Biddles Berg clearly understands her subject well, but perhaps Buckley is too complex a figure to be fully represented in just one film.

1/5
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Billie Walker Ultimately The Strangers: Chapter 3 offers no redeemable qualities and is so vacuously unremarkable that it is already in the process of being forgotten.
