Redes (1936) 78% 4/5 EDIT “The film's two most rousing appeals to working-class unity couldn't be more different in style: one a fiery, direct public speech, the other a wordless scene of boats advancing across the bay in a powerful display of dissent. ” – Radio Times Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Ick (2024) 69% 3/5 EDIT “It is, in essence, a 2020s update of classic B-fare such as The Blob, with satirical allusions to Covid-19 dotted around for good measure. Taken on those terms, the low-budget mayhem works rather well.” – Radio Times Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros (2023) 100% 5/5 EDIT “The overriding sensation here is of celebration as Wiseman quietly traces the long process that results in something as profoundly beautiful and fleeting as a great plate of food. ” – Radio Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Eventually, things drift past any obvious logic, but it simply doesn't matter; Guiraudie and his top-drawer cast pull it all together with such brio that the characters' bizarre actions seem to make perfect sense.” – Radio Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Jingle Bell Heist (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “As a cosy, light-hearted yarn with a cheery holiday gloss and some romance thrown in for good measure, it delivers a little more than the average Hallmark TV landfill.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Unholy Trinity (2024) 42% 3/5 EDIT “Coasting along on a solid raft of no-nonsense western tropes, this is strictly for fans of the genre.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Family Plan 2 (2025) 31% 2/5 EDIT “The dialogue is lazy and the characters are thin clichés; so, while a few gags hit their marks, the plot remains far too bland to really hold any attention.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review All Your Faces (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Taking a balanced approach to questions of victimhood and restitution, and directing with subtle visual flair, Herry weaves a riveting and resonant tapestry that argues for a positive, progressive vision of society.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Fantomas (1932) 3/5 EDIT “Though mostly one for the pulp-fiction fanatics, Fejos's witty blend of spooky horror, detective mystery and criminal thriller makes for a compelling curio.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Film-maker David Osit crafts a measured examination of the controversial reality TV show To Catch a Predator.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “It all amounts to a tender illustration of our need for art in tough times.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2025 Full Review We're All Going to the World's Fair (2021) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Melancholy and carefully paced, it's a strange and remarkable debut.” – Radio Times Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Twits (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “The CG picture-book aesthetic varies in quality, but the voice cast is largely excellent, with Martindale and Vegas especially enthusiastic as the crazed, slapstick villains.” – Radio Times Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Like so many celeb-focused films, ultimately a PR exercise” – Radio Times Oct 15, 2025 Full Review The Librarians (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “This is provocative stuff and, despite including footage of Nazi book-burnings and clips from Fahrenheit 451 (1966), Snyder strives to avoid being overly inflammatory. ” – Radio Times Oct 1, 2025 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “The film never presses any ecological themes, only making one clear reference to the man-made climate crisis. But it makes its point, and grips the viewer, by confidently immersing us in an upsetting, claustrophobic vision of a literal hell on Earth.” – Radio Times Oct 1, 2025 Full Review OSS 117 (1963) 2/5 EDIT “Faddish to a fault, it's a fun little artefact nonetheless.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (1997) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Master cinematographer Robert Richardson provides the lovely imagery that underscores the film's unique appeal. ” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Eenie Meanie (2025) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Reminiscent of Edgar Wright's similarly mixed Baby Driver, this has some satisfying scenes but grows less sure of itself as it drifts along.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review The Encampments (2025) 94% 3/5 EDIT “It has a palpable historical urgency, exacerbated during sudden bursts of violence (courtesy of the NYPD) that recall footage of anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the 1960s and 70s.” – Radio Times Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Running on Empty (2024) 16% 2/5 EDIT “The basic plot and its ruminations on mortality are nothing new, but some good chuckles are to be had along the way.” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% 3/5 EDIT “By focusing on a broader allegory about identity and redemption, the director does throw in some vaguely provocative ideas that give his award-winning quartet of women some material to play with. ” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) 95% 3/5 EDIT “Trachtenberg makes excellent use of the opportunities given by animation, throwing in plenty of outrageous violence and giving his three human heroes some satisfying moments of cartoon ingenuity, particularly during the Pacific dogfight.” – Radio Times Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Exhibiting Forgiveness (2024) 95% 3/5 EDIT “All ensure this potentially messy family drama remains controlled, honest and clear-headed.” – Radio Times Jul 2, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The screenplay, co-written by director Samir Oliveros, can strain a bit in padding the run time and finding ways to flesh out the central character, but it's all peppily paced and the cast keeps the material rather gripping.” – Radio Times Jul 2, 2025 Full Review
