Saipan (2025) 90% 3 EDIT “A witty script turns a butting of egos into a state of the nation psychodrama” – The Wee Review Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% 3 EDIT “Director Oliver Hermanus eschews explosive passion in favour of fastidious, wistful melancholy. It may be tasteful to a fault, but does arrive belatedly at a powerful conclusion.” – The Wee Review Jan 25, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4 EDIT “Hugely enjoyable sequel is a little disjointed, but goes heavy on the weird in inventive new ways” – The Wee Review Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 3 EDIT “Powerful docufiction about a very recent atrocity unavoidably raises ethical concerns” – The Wee Review Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 3 EDIT “Tragedy of Shakespeare’s son effectively hits the heartstrings but lacks a little restraint” – The Wee Review Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% 3 EDIT “Shocking and confrontational road movie is one to experience on the big screen” – The Wee Review Nov 27, 2025 Full Review La venue de l'avenir (2025) 93% 2 EDIT “Clumsy approach to dual timeline undercuts light, undemanding drama about love and art across 130 years” – The Wee Review Nov 26, 2025 Full Review The Musicians (2025) 3 EDIT “Pleasantly diverting comedy-drama with a musical soul that achieves moments of transcendence” – The Wee Review Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 4 EDIT “Linklater’s homage to the French New Wave is a joyous affair, even though it surrenders to the myth of its subject” – The Wee Review Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Stationed at Home (2025) 3 EDIT “Impressive and visually gorgeous ensemble piece achieves much on a shoestring” – The Wee Review Nov 15, 2025 Full Review A Magnificent Life (2025) 62% 4 EDIT “Animated biopic of Marcel Pagnol may be standard fare beneath its surface, but what a gorgeous surface.” – The Wee Review Nov 11, 2025 Full Review The Portuguese House (2025) 4 EDIT “Like the home that gives the film its title, <i>The Portuguese House</i> has an elegant, lived-in atmosphere. It has its revelations and its secrets, but it feels like the script coaxes them out, as if earning its own trust.” – The Wee Review Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Draft! (2023) 82% 2 EDIT “</i>The Draft!</i> stops aiming for any actual scares and contents itself with throwing as many genre nods at the wall as it can, moving onto the next without waiting to see if any stick.” – The Wee Review Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Through Rocks and Clouds (2024) 40% 2 EDIT “Instantly charming, but exiles its central conflict so far into the background that it never gains any dramatic momentum. What’s left feels like a character study of a boy who is still too young for his character to have fully developed.” – The Wee Review Oct 9, 2025 Full Review El 47 (2024) 100% 4 EDIT “A socially-conscious and enlightening true story of peaceful revolutionary zeal causing real change. Anchored by an incredibly charismatic leading performance by Eduard Fernández, it’s easy to see why it’s captured the heart of its home audiences.” – The Wee Review Oct 7, 2025 Full Review La Buena Letra (2025) 2 EDIT “The drama in The Good Manners occurs in glances and furrowed brows, lurking between the lines. It’s one of those instances where a little bit of melodrama wouldn’t have gone amiss.” – The Wee Review Oct 5, 2025 Full Review Queens (Reinas) (2024) 85% 4 EDIT “Deftly written and beautifully performed, <i>Queens</i> is a gem of a family drama that doesn’t come with easy resolution and skilfully navigates varying changes in tone with wit, elegance, and an authentic sense of history.” – The Wee Review Oct 4, 2025 Full Review The Drowned (2025) 2 EDIT “If Samuel Clemens can bring more storytelling drive – and a more ruthless approach to scriptwriting – to some undeniable technical flair, his next project could be a winner. As a debut however, <i>The Drowned</i> frustrates more than it engages.” – The Wee Review Oct 4, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 100% 4 EDIT “Gritty and impassioned coming-of-age drama with a loveable sense of community” – The Wee Review Aug 15, 2025 Full Review If Only I Could Hibernate (2023) 100% 3 EDIT “A handsome and sincere study of a burdened young man, although its protagonist can be unnecessarily infuriating.” – The Wee Review Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Swede Caroline (2022) 86% 4 EDIT “Stuffed with familiar comic talent, it’s a hilarious quotefest, but also a surprisingly satisfying lowkey mystery.” – The Wee Review Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Butterfly Tale (2023) 1 EDIT “A simple story about both the power of cooperation and the discovery of one’s own unique talents, but its perfunctory plotting and horribly cheap visuals overpower its inclusive message.” – The Wee Review Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Jericho Ridge (2022) 100% 4 EDIT “Will Gilbey‘s directorial debut doesn’t stray far from John Carpenter’s template of a contemporised siege western, but hits every beat of this taut chamber piece with economic precision.” – The Wee Review Sep 4, 2024 Full Review That They May Face the Rising Sun (2023) 97% 4 EDIT “A slow steeping in the rhythms and rituals of a community in the rural Ireland of the 1980s, what Collins’ adaptation of John McGahern‘s final novel lacks in incident it more than makes up for in rich character and a gruff, earthy compassion.” – The Wee Review Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Land of Bad (2024) 66% 3 EDIT “Gung ho goodness tempered with the hint of a self-satiric edge, it’s a bit of a rough diamond.” – The Wee Review Sep 4, 2024 Full Review
