2/5
North (1994) Tom Hutchinson It's an interesting idea, clumsily carried through by Reiner.

4/5
Redes (1936) Calum Baker 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.

3/5
Dreamers (2025) James Mottram Although the abrupt flashbacks to Isio's past don't quite work, coming across as slightly amateurish, Gharoro-Akpojotor convincingly tells a tale of quiet resilience.

3/5
The Rip (2026) Matt Glasby All in all, it’s quite a ride, yet the more things it tries to do, the less well it does them. As an adrenalised Friday night action flick it ticks all the right boxes, but it also feels like less than the sum of its – admittedly impressive – parts.

3/5
Mother (2025) James Mottram A way of bringing the story into the present, perhaps, but it feels messy. Fortunately, Rapace brings great focus, commitment and swagger to her performance at the centre of a film seemingly designed to polarise.

3/5
Stitch Head (2025) Jayne Nelson The film's community of grotesque characters is enjoyably bonkers, with exquisitely timed slapstick antics the order of the day.

3/5
Twinless (2025) Steve Morrissey Writer Sweeney expertly captures the amusing inanity of everyday conversation, and also suggests there might be an unlikely romance brewing, making this one for mopey Gen Z-ers and anyone who likes their comedy on the darker side of funny.

4/5
Beast of War (2025) Jayne Nelson If you're willing to suspend your disbelief and dive into its pool of genre tropes, you'll find this Beast has a powerful bite.

4/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Terry Staunton Williams, the beating human heart of the first instalment in the trilogy, has less to do this time around, although his anxious reactions to the Jimmies’ relentless mayhem still impress as the film’s moral compass of sorts.

3/5
Bulk (2025) Terry Staunton Bulk is less about structured narrative and more a playful exercise in bafflement and absurdity that risks infuriating as many viewers as it entertains.

3/5
Ick (2024) Calum Baker 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.

2/5
& Sons (2025) James Mottram Staunton and Nighy are spellbinding in their scenes together, but there's an unfortunate cartoonish streak to the film, typified by Dominic West's unctuous Hollywood exec, who is using Richard to get the rights to one of Andrew's books.

3/5
Hamlet (2025) James Mottram Robust turns by Ahmed and Morfydd Clark ,as the maudlin Ophelia, bring this version to life.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Moss & Freud (2025) James Mottram Writer/director James Lucas keeps things tasteful, swerving any suggestions of age-inappropriate frisson, but the fact that Moss is an executive producer on the film points to a safe approach in its storytelling.

3/5
Heel (2025) James Mottram The final act doesn't quite pay off, with characters' motives left frustratingly opaque, but the film is blessed with cast-iron performances, especially from Graham and Boon.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Bad Apples (2025) James Mottram The film becomes a power play between teacher, student and, ultimately, the PTA committee. Asking just how far you'd go for your child's education, this is howlingly funny.

3/5
She Rides Shotgun (2025) Jayne Nelson Despite its narrative flaws, this gritty road movie is brilliantly anchored by a luminous performance from its child star.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Dave Golder As far as by-the-numbers fluff goes, it's glossy, well-crafted and witty, practically revelling in its predictability.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Through the Night (2023) Alex Berry Unsettling in both tone and subject matter, the film offers a fascinating dual character study that proves quietly impactful.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Terry Staunton Jackman and Hudson are so on their game, so engaged in making Mike and Claire believable that only stone-hearted cynics won’t end up loving them.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Bite the Bullet (1975) Adrian Turner The picture is perhaps too long, with too many trough-stops for discourses about machismo and the motives of the competitors. But on the hoof it's an excellent adventure with a splendid cast and some spectacular turn-of-the-20th-century settings.

5/5
Out of the Past (1947) Peter Freedman Unfairly underrated for many years, this is in fact a stylish, atmospheric, highly watchable and strongly recommended movie from director Jacques Tourneur.

3/5
Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) Tom Hutchinson What was topical for the time has inevitably dated, but director Anatole Litvak can still chill us with his depiction of the crawling swastika.
Posted Jan 03, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Circumstantial Evidence (1952) David Parkinson The solution is rather obvious, but screenwriter Allan MacKinnon compellingly frames the narrative using another case, as Holt's judge father (Frederick Leister) oversees a similar incident involving unreliable evidence.

4/5
Strongroom (1962) Tom Dawson The race-against-time story grips because the credibly "ordinary" characters face genuine life-or-death consequences for their actions, and the film's conclusion has a surprising toughness.

5/5
Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros (2023) Calum Baker 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.

3/5
Is This Thing On? (2025) James Mottram Arnett is an amiable, earnest lead, however, while Dern is typically classy.

4/5
The Tale of Silyan (2025) David Parkinson Filled with memorable images and nuggets of homespun wisdom, this may be utterly delightful, but there's an edge to the insights into migration and environment change.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Terry Staunton Eric Bauza's voice work on both main characters is spot-on, zesty and reverential to the legendary Mel Blanc of yore.

The Parenting (2025) Josh Winning The result is brilliantly high-energy and camp, but with a heartfelt message at its core.

3/5
Man on the Run (2025) Terry Staunton Morgan Neville's documentary examines Macca's career throughout the 1970s, from the end of the Fab Four up to the shocking murder of John Lennon in 1980, using archive footage and new, probing off-screen interviews with his subject.

4/5
The Housemaid (2025) Terry Staunton The end result is a satisfyingly scary chiller that benefits from not always taking itself seriously.

Oh Canada (2024) Terry Staunton Gere gives a great performance as a selfish, unlikeable character who's still held in awe by his acolytes, not least Michael Imperioli as the younger director...

The Son of a Thousand Men (2025) Dave Golder This beguiling Brazilian drama offers a twist on the fairy tale format, as a reclusive fisherman's simple wishes expose the dark secrets of his fellow villagers.

3/5
H Is for Hawk (2025) James Mottram The often underrated Sam Spruell brings warmth to his turn as a fellow avian enthusiast, while Foy's flashback scenes with Gleeson sketch out further emotional terrain in deft strokes.

3/5
Rental Family (2025) James Mottram A dynamic Hira, known for TV series Giri/Haji and Shogun, puts in memorable work, but this is Fraser's film. His turn, including some impressive Japanese dialogue exchanges, is the heart of this sweet, low-key oddity.

Marty Supreme (2025) Max Copeman Amid the exhilarating and intoxicating chaos, there are fine supporting turns too.

Misericordia (2024) Calum Baker 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.

2/5
Ella McCay (2025) Terry Staunton On paper, Brooks may have been aiming for pithy wit laced with liberal political savvy, but in practice he's landed on misfiring pantomime.

4/5
Giant (2025) James Mottram Despite being executive-produced by Sylvester Stallone, this is more melancholy than Rocky-like, and all the better for it.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Terry Staunton Writer/director Mike P Nelson stays faithful to the narrative of the 1984 film, improving on it with a tighter script, sly humour, stronger performances and more convincing gore.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Merv (2025) Jayne Nelson The script is perfectly gentle but isn't funny. Worst of all, because Merv is sad, he does nothing but lie down and whine, which means even dog-lovers may be bored - and a little dispirited.

Oh. What. Fun. (2025) James Mottram A case of Yo-ho-no.

3/5
Death Race 2000 (1975) Alan Jones Paul Bartel's light-hearted direction keeps this demolition derby on an amusing track, despite the graphic violence, and there are digs at US political apathy and the nation's obsession with sports.
Posted Dec 22, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Ghostbusters II (1989) John Ferguson The effects are bigger and more spectacular, Murray once again shines as the shyster scientist and there is an expanded role for Rick Moranis.

2/5
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) Jeremy Aspinall Ultimately, it's the lack of directorial finesse and the rancid look of the piece that condemns it to the sump of 1980s horror.

2/5
Halloween II (1981) John Ferguson Carpenter had a hand in the script but this is a by-the-numbers retread and the direction of Rick Rosenthal lacks flair.

Misery (1990) Alan Jones While not a true-blue horror movie, Reiner's adept exercise in chilling claustrophobia nevertheless contains numerous jolts.

4/5
Waterworld (1995) Alan Jones The film offers plenty of comic-book heroics and explosive stunts, and Costner gives one of his finest performances as the half man/half fish whose steely character holds this full-blooded epic adventure together.
Posted Dec 17, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Army of Darkness (1992) Alan Jones As the second sequel to his classic Evil Dead, however, it's a vapid exercise in watered-down horror kitsch that betrays the whole ethos of the sublime original.
