Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) EDIT “Throughout the film, three things stand out: the love between Rushdie and Griffiths; the resilience they had in the face of his catastrophic injuries; and the author’s humanistic attitude and sly sense of humour, which have categorically survived intact.” – Screen International Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) EDIT “Chasing Summer is a smart, sexy crowdpleaser that should attract distributors who want to tap into female millennial audiences following its Sundance Premieres bow.” – Screen International Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Soul Patrol (2026) EDIT “Although the Vietnam War and US civil rights history will hold more resonance for American audiences, the moving first-person testimony about the long shadow of conflict strikes a universal note that may interest specialist distributors elsewhere.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) 73% EDIT “Wain and Marino have a tendency to milk a joke, which proves unfortunate when it was barely funny the first time. All of which is not helped by a baggy narrative that, despite its Wizard of Oz template, feels structurally weak.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Gallerist (2026) 50% EDIT “Throughout, Portman, Ortega and Zeta-Jones bounce the script around like a ping-pong ball, with all three displaying meticulous timing. Costume designer Bénédicte Mouret also deserves particular credit not just for the outfits of the central characters.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 57% EDIT “It’s not every successful artist that would be willing to show the vulnerable side of fame and, as Charli says goodbye to brat, she also lays claim to a potential new chapter on screen.” – Screen International Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) 100% EDIT “Whether audiences agree that it has ’changed the narrative’ or not, it is a powerful testimony to a community’s ability to take control of their part of the story and give it a happy ending.” – Screen International Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 87% EDIT “With a measured pace and elliptical style, it occasionally loses momentum -- but Chris Pine and Jenny Slate are compelling as the will they/won’t they couple at its heart, thanks to careful scripting that gives them space to deliver between the lines.” – Screen International Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Baab (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Things don’t so much burrow under the skin of the protagonist of Baab, as get inside her head. ” – Eye for Film Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Karla (2025) EDIT “Krieps’ watchful nervousness is infectious and Tournatzés’ decision to eschew scoring and let the action play out mostly as a chamber piece adds to the airless tension that is generated as Karla struggles to lay out what has happened. ” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review In the Land of Arto (2025) EDIT “Stepanyan also is not afraid to take a risk or two, leading us into Celine’s headspace and imagined interactions with her husband’s ‘spirit’ with restraint and elegance.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review 9-Month Contract (2025) EDIT “The selfless love between a single mother and her teenage daughter is shown to be a fortress against an often exploitative and indifferent world in Ketevan Vashagashvili’s tough but moving documentary.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Phantoms of July (2025) EDIT “Radlmaier previously had strong success on the festival circuit with Bloodsuckers - A Marxist Vampire Comedy, and his ability to interrogate the vagaries of modern life with a light touch and plenty of humour should see Phantoms enjoy a similar run.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Flophouse America (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Strømdahl keeps us within the apartment for virtually the whole film, watching as Mikal tries to negotiate the unpredictability of Tonya and Jason or retreats into a world of video games.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Kenny Dalglish (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Fans will be familiar with most of what is presented here but it’s the voiceover from Dalglish and others that elevates this to a must-see for them.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Goodbye Sisters (2025) 4/5 EDIT “While the sisters are... often caught in close conversation, Murphy also knows when to hang back so that we get a picture of them in their environment, which emphasises the majesty of the Himalayas... and a sense of their smallness against the world.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review The Marbles (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Heartfelt and thorough.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Belén (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “"A largely straightforward drama that is a bit too structurally loose for its own good, Argentina’s Oscar nominee is buoyed considerably by Fonzi’s own central performance and a solid ensemble cast." ” – Eye for Film Nov 13, 2025 Full Review With Hasan in Gaza (2025) 100% EDIT “A raw but poignant snapshot of Gaza during the Second Intifada.” – Screen International Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Cotton Queen (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A beguiling mix of magic-realist fable, coming-of-age drama and post-colonial critique.” – Eye for Film Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “While some directors spend their lives crafting love letters to the worlds they create, Yorgos Lanthimos has developed a fine line in cinematic hate mail to humanity.” – Eye for Film Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Maspalomas (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Maspalomas’ emotions run deep, with the onset of Covid sensitively handled in ways that sharply bring back the uncertainty of those early months of the disease and the devastating impact it had on many older communities.” – Eye for Film Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Winter of the Crow (2025) EDIT “While not breaking new narrative ground, its pace, gritty Bourne Identity-style approach and Manville’s gripping turn give it plenty of mainstream appeal.” – Screen International Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Lost Land (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “The choice of child protagonists not only adds to Lost Land’s emotional heft but also brings home the extra level of uncertainty and confusion felt by youngsters across the globe forced to make these sorts of dangerous odysseys in hope of safe haven.” – Eye for Film Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Franz (2025) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Playful biopic that rips up chronology and frequently tears down the fourth wall so that we’re never sure if we’re going to be the ones looking into the fishbowl of his life or the ones being inspected.” – Eye for Film Sep 15, 2025 Full Review
