Crime 101 (2026)
87%
3/5
EDIT
“Layton’s direction is powerful but patient and Berry brings real bite to her insurance agent, who at 53 is prey to the bitter realisation that the system is not built in her favour.” –

Wuthering Heights (2026)
60%
2/5
EDIT
“Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is a work of posh-girl provocation: intent on pushing as many buttons as it can, mistaking Brontë’s effect for her intent. ” –

Send Help (2026)

4/5

“The film is as subtle a Looney Tunes cartoon, as violent and as fun.” –

H Is for Hawk (2025)

4/5
EDIT
“Foy pulls through in every sense. She gives a remarkable performance — unshowy, precise and powerful.” –

The Rip (2026)
79%
3/5
EDIT
“The Rip is at its best as the noose of paranoia tightens around the house, suspicions fly, and Damon and Affleck take turns to accuse each other.” –

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

Song Sung Blue (2025)
77%
2/5
EDIT
“In 20 years’ time Song Sung Blue will probably be a camp classic playing as part of a double-bill with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Showgirls. But to qualify for “so bad it’s good”, first you have to be bad … very bad.” –

Sentimental Value (2025)
97%
5/5
EDIT
“Trier has plenty of both up his sleeve, combining the satisfactions of arthouse film-making with the emotional wallop of great melodrama.” –

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025)
92%
3/5
EDIT
“It’s all so clever that half an hour after the film is over you won’t remember a stitch of it. What stays with you is O’Connor taking time out from a bit of sleuthing to take confession from a member of his parish.” –

Jay Kelly (2025)

Blue Moon (2025)
90%
3/5
EDIT
“If Blue Moon feels destined to be seen by a fraction of the already small percentage of the population who enjoyed those films, Hawke’s scenes with Scott and Qualley nevertheless stand out.” –

Nuremberg (2025)
72%
2/5
EDIT
“ For all its window dressing as a clinical assessment, the psychological insights offered up — Kelley finds Goering “sympathetic”, “imaginative” and a “narcissist” — are not worth the napkin on which they were jotted.” –

The Choral (2025)

“Alan Bennett’s script spends too much time pursuing the romantic subplots of his teenage choristers.” –

Die My Love (2025)
74%
3/5
EDIT
“Pattinson is good in this film, but Lawrence is better: sometimes he seems frankly slack-jawed at just how uninhibited his scene partner is managing to be. ” –

The Smashing Machine (2025)

3/5
EDIT
“The true naked aggression of Raging Bull seems beyond the reach of Johnson, or of this rather sweet-natured film. Instead it’s Gently Engaging Bull.” –

One Battle After Another (2025)

5/5
EDIT
“Hefty yet cantering, deliriously funny in places, as audacious as a moonshot — One Battle After Another is probably Anderson’s best film.” –
