No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Restructuring has never been so bloody.” – Financial Times Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Director Joe Carnahan brings snap, but this is basic beer-and-pizza stuff with a high-end finish.” – Financial Times Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “The cast do admirable work in a film that must have tested them too. The result is exactly as harrowing as it needs to be.” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Less caffeinated than Boyle, [Nia DaCosta's] cool eye is exactly what the movie needs — moonlit clarity amid the madness.” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “ A different movie might find Phillip stricken by identity crises. Rental Family, though, doesn’t give him much identity to start with beyond an artless sweet nature.” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “In the end, the film that takes his name becomes a polished hymn to great art. In great art itself, though, life is rarely so neat — and death never this tidy. ” – Financial Times Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “At its simplest, the movie is a flyover-state love story. You brace for condescension, but director Craig Brewer is better than that. Fun is had with the modest horizons of the semi-pro musician. ” – Financial Times Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The tone is rich and sophisticated. Shadows of childhood tragedy and adult mis-steps fall across the drama. Sorrow is often in the air. This in no way sits oddly with a number of excellent jokes, including a doozy about Ikea. ” – Financial Times Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 5/5 EDIT “The pleasures are many: an electric star turn from Timothée Chalamet; a splendid diorama of Manhattan’s Lower East Side circa 1952...And we get a wholly fresh take on that ever-popular genre, the ping-pong movie.” – Financial Times Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “Fire and Ash is again a loud hymn to nature that is also deeply, pointedly inorganic.” – Financial Times Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Despite their initial comic pop, some of the characters sing one note throughout. Frankly, the whole thing needs a 20-minute haircut. ” – Financial Times Dec 11, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “As with all of Panahi’s work, you applaud the simple fact of its existence. ” – Financial Times Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Cover-Up (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “The movie is a record of decades spent picking locks both inside and out of major American news organisations. (Screw-ups included: the film itself is no whitewash.) ” – Financial Times Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “The film is never less than entertaining. The dead don’t stay dead. There are red herrings and devil heads. But something more ambitious is in play too. The movie is another onion, and its layers can feel a little at odds. ” – Financial Times Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “It makes a neat takeaway for two bold, impressive movies, whose biggest achievement is to have (mostly) made their own complexity look simple.” – Financial Times Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “For all that is wrong with the film, Clooney’s magnetism and Sandler’s vim somehow keep it tolerable. Movie stars really are a different breed.” – Financial Times Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Old hands will brace for horror. And yes, knives are brandished. But Ramsay only toys with the scary stuff. It is just one tone among many in a wild, impressionistic drama about a woman losing her mind. ” – Financial Times Nov 6, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 2/5 EDIT “Such is After the Hunt all over — weedy and evasive to the end.” – Financial Times Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “As this shaggy story ambles on, you may wait for a message, or a lesson. I wouldn’t. Sometimes, a movie just decides it is enough to say: this happened. ” – Financial Times Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Souleymane's Story (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “From all kinds of perspectives, Souleymane’s Story may be the most urgent film of 2025.” – Financial Times Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “But the film has its best moments when del Toro cranks the pathos, and the star is a lot to do with why. Under the sutures, he brings a mournful truth to the howl of the unloved child. ” – Financial Times Oct 16, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 3/5 EDIT “ The film is made as Imax spectacle, and works fine as such. ” – Financial Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 5/5 EDIT “A House of Dynamite is a symphony of dread, a tour de force with a wilful catch. I don’t remember the last time I saw a film this formally brilliant that I also wanted to stop. ” – Financial Times Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “The performance fits Dickinson’s own tonal panorama: the movie tender, grimy, a little surreal, and strangely, sadly funny.” – Financial Times Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Now, the clichés of the sports movie are toyed with, or rejected. So too — for all the pills and needles — those of the addiction drama. The movie sidesteps the tropes so smartly, you wish you could find what it does do more satisfying. ” – Financial Times Oct 3, 2025 Full Review
