H Is for Hawk (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “The visual metaphors are striking -- even as the running time outstays its welcome. ” – Time Out Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Better (and far cheaper) than group therapy, Sentimental Value is a thoughtful and moving exploration of the long tail of family dynamics. ” – Time Out Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Celebrating the triumphs of a brave female athlete, and boasting a strong central performance from a transformed Sydney Sweeney, Christy is a well-meaning but meandering feminist parable.” – Empire Magazine Nov 24, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “Panahi melds the personal and political in the most subtle and searing of ways.” – Sight & Sound Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “With Highest 2 Lowest, the results are uneven, but magical all the same.” – Sight & Sound Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Relay (2024) 82% 4/5 EDIT “By the time everyone’s drawn their guns, I was thoroughly invested. Relay is an old-school thriller with a drum-tight script and real style. ” – Time Out Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “In Frankenstein, he has created a powerfully entertaining, existential new version of an old story -- not exactly producing something totally unique, but enlivening the familiar tale with haunting performances and some truly striking images” – iNews.co.uk Oct 17, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 4/5 EDIT “The story of the troubled MMA champion Mark Kerr is a classic redemptive arc - The Rock makes it raw and compelling.” – iNews.co.uk Oct 3, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “This funny, gripping tale of resistance and family, starring Leonardo Di Caprio, is one of the most absorbing films of the year.” – iNews.co.uk Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 4/5 EDIT “The band are back together as grizzled rockers 40 years later, and they’re still turning it up to 11.” – iNews.co.uk Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Lightweight and forgettable.” – iNews.co.uk Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Darren Aronofsky's scrappy crime movie feels a little on the nose, but is injected with plenty of life by its cast of loveable rogues.” – iNews.co.uk Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% 4/5 EDIT “It remains one of the only films made thus far to capture the madness, anger, and confusion of 2020 – to show how the pandemic brought so many underlying issues, both personal and social, to the boil.” – iNews.co.uk Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans star in Celine Song's latest love-triangle story that teaches us about the perils of perfectionism.” – iNews.co.uk Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% EDIT “Bone-cracking and fleshy and disgusting in all the most satisfying ways a body horror should be, Together gets its visual effects right, and it utilises them gradually and sometimes very drolly. ” – Time Out Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Bring Her Back is a film that knows how to provoke, but not how to provide much insight.” – iNews.co.uk Aug 1, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Frankly, this is the first Marvel movie I’ve seen in recent years that feels it has genuine emotional stakes – simple, straightforward, family-oriented ones, though they are. ” – iNews.co.uk Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 2/5 EDIT “It may have eschewed the CGI slop of its forebears, but even for dinosaur lovers like me this convoluted sequel is absurd and unsatisfying.” – iNews.co.uk Jul 7, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 4/5 EDIT “F1 uses old-fashioned, engine-revving storytelling.” – iNews.co.uk Jun 27, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “With a grim realism and a resilient Britishness that recalls the most desperate days of the Second World War, it has grit, suspense, and heart, albeit with some tonal wobbles and plot twists that are sure to raise eyebrows.” – iNews.co.uk Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Lollipop (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Daisy-May Hudson’s tearjerking family drama is one of the best debut films in recent years.” – iNews.co.uk Jun 12, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Kristen Stewart reveals a deft directorial hand and a distinct, languid, echoing style in her vividly made, emotionally visceral exploration of the life and times of American novelist Lidia Yuknavitch. ” – Time Out May 21, 2025 Full Review The Phoenician Scheme (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “It’s the father-daughter relationship that takes precedence in The Phoenician Scheme, and Anderson gives us a rather beautiful conclusion of simplicity and acceptance.” – iNews.co.uk May 19, 2025 Full Review The Uninvited (2024) 77% 3/5 EDIT “It may not be saying anything particularly new, but The Uninvited has some... fun at the expense of the superficial, youth-obsessed, often abusive edifice of the film industry – and that’s something we can all get on board with.” – iNews.co.uk May 9, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% 4/5 EDIT “This melancholy comedy starring Naomi Watts, about a woman who inherits a Great Dane following a friend's suicide, is a heart-wrenching meditation on grief.” – iNews.co.uk Apr 25, 2025 Full Review
