Die My Love
(2025)
|
Steven Dávila
|
The film does boast some great performances, and some of Ramsay’s best, most cerebral filmmaking, but it still stands a distance from her most staggering works.

Marty Supreme
(2025)
|
Dami Angela Akinniranye
|
The camera never sits still, tracking and circling the tables with a kinetic energy that mirrors Marty’s own frantic mindset. In this world, the sport isn’t a niche oddity, rather fast-paced, buzzy and oddly aspirational.

Giant

This is a thoroughly engrossing story, very well told, fuelled by the great chemistry between Brosnan and El-Masry.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer
(2017)
|
Aoife O'Ceallachain
|
Not for the faint-hearted, Sacred Deer is a good place to start for anyone unfamiliar with Lanthimos’ work, and will not disappoint disciples of the Greek Weird Wave

When All Is Ruin Once Again
(2018)
|
June Butler
|
What makes When All Is Ruin Once Again so special is Walsh’s ability to see both sides and allow viewers reach their own conclusions.

Windmill Lane
(2020)
|
Liam Hanlon
|
Windmill Lane captures the rise and falls and concludes by exploring the dynamic between Russ Russell and James Morris. It’s a complete narrative with many twists and turns and it’s utterly captivating.

Skin + Soul
(2020)
|
June Butler
|
Ciara Nic Chormaic has done an astounding job in gaining such insight into Perry Ogden and this beautiful and enlightening documentary does a terrific job of capturing Ogden's immense talent – a mantle he wears lightly and humbly.

Seamus Heaney and the Music of What Happens
(2019)
|
Aoife O'Neil
|
Heaney’s voice throughout the documentary takes over from the speaker and usually ends the poetry, again giving the viewer the unique opportunity to connect with both poem and writer as one entity.

Dracula

Eternity
(2025)
|
Khushi Jain
|
Trope after trope allows for a cosy little nook to settle into. So much so that even the film’s (arguably) only plot twist is less a twist and more a turn. But nevertheless the lightness of theme keeps pulling it forward.

Endless Poetry
(2016)
|
Sadhbh Ní Bhroin
|
Though slightly meandering at times, Poesía sin fin is a dreamy, colourful exploration of the growth of a creative soul which gains its richness from artistic expression, and, using surrealism’s visual symbolism, creates a visual poetry of its own.

Testimony
