My Husband, the Cyborg (2025) Bethan Ackerley At times, My Husband, the Cyborg feels like being trapped at a dinner party with the most exhausting couple you know. But the longer the experiment runs, the better the film gets. This very modern... love story makes for fraught and fascinating viewing.

War Game (2024) Bethan Ackerley I left War Game with questions about the exercise’s purpose. I didn’t learn much and I’m not sure anyone in the situation room did either. That said, for capturing the precarity of the US government in such scary circumstances, this is worth your time.

Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Hanna Flint This is a very silly concept that might be full of scientific inaccuracies, but it still manages to deliver laugh-out-loud fun.

Sisters with Transistors (2020) Bethan Ackerley I defy you to watch Sisters With Transistors without feeling transported to another time and place. Let the stories of these groundbreaking women and their work wash over you, and you will find yourself caught up in the current.

Synchronic (2019) Bethan Ackerley Benson and Moorhead have still created a grim, uneasy thriller with genuinely hair-raising moments.

Tesla (2020) Bethan Ackerley The film rarely finds the will to be interested in the man Tesla actually was. Coupled with its incoherent – if striking – aesthetic, this means Tesla too often feels like an empty frame, or a motor without the power to keep it running.

1/5
65 (2023) Linda Marric The premise doesn't hold up to close scrutiny and the narrative can be jarringly slow-paced.

Settlers (2021) Linda Marric Above all, what sets this production apart from the rest is its unflinchingly honest and bleak view of the human condition.

Stowaway (2021) Linda Marric The obligatory suspenseful spacewalks are perhaps less impressive than in recent similarly themed movies, but there is still a commendable philosophical thread running through the narrative that makes up for any shortcomings

Silk Road (2021) Linda Marric Robinson gives a suitably nervy and understated performance as the anti-hero you wish you could root for.

Greenland (2020) Linda Marric Far bleaker and more downbeat than you would expect. The film manages something truly unique by showing that you don't need astronomical budgets to make a decent disaster movie.

4/5
The Midnight Sky (2020) Linda Marric Heartfelt and beautifully acted.

5/5
Possessor: Uncut (2020) Linda Marric Possessor feels both fresh and tense and full of surprising twists and turns. It successfully explores our experiences with modern anxieties and how we deal with them.
