Pillion (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It’s a heart-warming depiction of parenthood that strikes a similar tone to films such as Pride, where the older mining community embraced LGBTQ+ activists. And Colin’s journey is a joy to watch.” – Rolling Stone UK Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “The format can feel slightly forced at times, and some viewers may not be able to get past the humble-bragging tone. But this is an essentially human story, reflecting on personal grief as well as themes such as religion, politics and charity. ” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Elton John: Never Too Late (2024) 76% 4/5 EDIT “An affectionate, candid portrait of the artist over many decades, Never Too Late may not go to every corner of the Rocketman’s world. But every direction it takes is entertaining, enlightening and very Elton.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 4/5 EDIT “ Fargeat pushes body horror to the limit, daring the viewer to keep looking rather than hide, wretch or even vomit -- all reactions are entirely feasible. ” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review blur: To the End (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Like Blur’s music, this film is honest about the realities of ageing, loneliness and broken dreams -- regardless of your fame and fortune. But it also ends on a fantastic, fun high.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Book of Clarence (2023) 65% 4/5 EDIT “The Book of Clarence stands on its own as a comedy-drama with engaging characters and an emotive narrative, but it’s probably best enjoyed by those vaguely familiar with the Bible, regardless of their beliefs. ” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% 3/5 EDIT “Back to Black won’t please everybody, but it is a good, well-made film that tells part of Amy’s story with affection, sensitivity and a palpable respect for her talent.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Trouble with Jessica (2023) 60% 4/5 EDIT “The Trouble with Jessica isn’t an easy watch but it’s a smart and funny one with excellent performances from a top British cast.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Stewart and O’Brian are terrific together in a credible but decidedly unsentimental romance -- this is a world of sweat, dirt, violence and terrible decisions. ” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% 5/5 EDIT “This is a true horror, all the more disturbing for the apparent ease with which this couple accept the status quo. It also feels, sadly, incredibly relevant to the modern day.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review All of Us Strangers (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “With a quartet of accomplished stars at its centre, All of Us Strangers is a potent exploration of love and loss that will stay with you long after the credits roll.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Past Lives (2023) 95% 5/5 EDIT “I’m happy to say that it does not disappoint -- it may be a slow-burner with no easy answers, but that’s one of its many strengths.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% EDIT “A powerful, visually spectacular drama that demands your full concentration, Oppenheimer is unmistakably the work of writer-director Christopher Nolan.” – Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% 3/5 EDIT “This family endeavour is an acting masterclass, and we should be grateful that it’s lured Daniel Day-Lewis back into acting after eight years in the metaphorical woods.” – Time Out Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Steve (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “It’s darkly funny and thought-provoking – and as nail-biting as you might expect.” – Rolling Stone UK Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Damned (2024) 89% 3/5 EDIT “But if you invest in its characters, it offers a thought-provoking insight into the depths of the human mind when faced with the laws of survival. It’s grim, but good.” – Time Out Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Layla (2024) 88% 3/5 EDIT “While there is a palpable tenderness in the love scenes -- along with a dash of kink -- Layla flirts with romantic drama without ever quite committing. ” – Time Out Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Timestalker (2024) 87% 4/5 EDIT “A deliciously offbeat paranormal comedy that invites repeat viewings. The more you come back to it, the more details you'll spot.” – Total Film Oct 7, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “A delightfully funny and unexpectedly emotional coming-of-age comedy-drama, with an enticing whiff of time travel and two fine lead performances.” – Total Film Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Lollipop (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It’s so involving that it’d be easy to watch without realising the most unusual thing about it: from officials to shopkeepers, every single adult character is played by a woman.” – Time Out Sep 11, 2024 Full Review The Outrun (2024) 82% 4/5 EDIT “An exceptional performance from Saoirse Ronan powers this affecting, slow-moving drama about addiction and hope.” – Total Film Aug 19, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Like the previous two films, this finds the right balance between nerve-racking action and thoughtful character-building scenes. Day One is refreshing, too: Sam is in many ways an unusual hero for a mainstream thriller.” – Total Film Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Collateral damage is often played for giggles -- life is pretty cheap in this world, unless you're one of the good/bad boys. Yet, as with their previous adventures, the two headline stars still have enough charisma together to see this through.” – Total Film Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Parthenope (2024) 47% 3/5 EDIT “Parthenope is split into chronological sections, and the superior early chapters have shades of everything from Death In Venice to The Dreamers.” – Time Out May 28, 2024 Full Review On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Writer-director Rungano Nyoni has a wonderful way of drawing you into a world and intriguing you from the start, gradually peeling back the layers of enigmatic characters to explore Zambian culture.” – Time Out May 21, 2024 Full Review
