Mike Epps: Delusional (2026) 3/5 EDIT “You know where you stand with a Mike Epps special. He has been around for long enough that you know what to expect, and he has never really failed to deliver it, even if he has pretty consistently failed to deliver anything else.” – Ready Steady Cut Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (2026) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Her testimony is frank and unflinching, providing an intimate, deeply personal lens through which to view the heinous experiences she was subjected to.” – Ready Steady Cut Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Big Fake (2026) 2/5 EDIT “The big issue with Netflix’s so-so Italian forgery thriller The Big Fake is that its protagonist, Pietro Castellitto’s Toni, simply can’t wait to get in over his head.” – Ready Steady Cut Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Netflix has several bad ideas, but giving Joe Carnahan $100,000,000 is a pretty good one.” – Ready Steady Cut Jan 16, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% 2/5 EDIT “It’s a trip that just doesn’t seem worth the jetlag.” – Ready Steady Cut Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Marcello Hernández: American Boy (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “Hernandez is still a green comic, and there’s room to tighten his material as he grows, but the fact that one hour in his company leaves you feeling as if you’ve been through some sort of assault course is going to make him hard to ignore.” – Ready Steady Cut Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Ricky Gervais: Mortality (2025) 40% 3/5 EDIT “There is nothing more eminently mockable than virtue-signalling always-online faux-liberalism, but bringing up the most obviously ridiculous examples of it for an hour doesn’t necessarily constitute an act.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Elway (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “I’ve long held the belief that high-level sport is the best storytelling medium in existence, and what I like about Elway is that it believes this too.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 22, 2025 Full Review The Great Flood (2025) 56% 3/5 EDIT “The Great Flood starts out as a very compelling disaster movie, but it almost becomes a disaster of a movie on the back of its own confounding ambition.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 19, 2025 Full Review 10DANCE (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Maybe there’ll be a more risqué sequel that makes good on all the build-up. As things stand, 10 Dance is a few silky steps shy of a full routine.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is an illusion of a good movie, and as long as you don’t think about it too much, you might happily let it pass as one until you inevitably forget you ever saw it.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Wake Up Dead Man is the first Knives Out Mystery to realise that Daniel Craig’s eccentric detective Benoit Blanc is the least interesting thing about them.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Merv (2025) 36% 2/5 EDIT “Good Boy had the good sense to keep its precious few human characters off-screen for almost all of the runtime, whereas Merv burdens us with a Charlie Cox and Zooey Deschanel who couldn’t seem less interested in each other if they tried.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 5/5 EDIT “Jay Kelly is a rigorous examination of not just who Jay is, or who Clooney might be, but who we are. In the hands of a lesser filmmaker, the conceit would have burst at the seams.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Matt Rife: Unwrapped - A Christmas Crowd Work Special (2025) 2/5 EDIT “There’s a cynicism to this entire package that can’t be disguised by its Christmas wrapping paper. ” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Troll 2 (2025) 58% 2/5 EDIT “I’ve now seen two of these movies, and I still have no idea whether we’re supposed to be rooting for the trolls or not.” – Ready Steady Cut Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Kevin Hart: Acting My Age (2025) 4/5 EDIT “This isn’t a complete reinvention for Hart, but it is a return to a vintage form, to the focus on his family life and internal existential crises.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Sangre Del Toro (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Sangre Del Toro is full of earnest appreciation for its subject’s achievements, of course, but it’s much more interested in how the life and interests of the man himself have shaped his work over the years.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Grainier is a nobody, and yet within him is contained the full breadth of human emotion. He did nothing that anybody would recognise, and yet experienced everything. As may we all.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 21, 2025 Full Review A Merry Little Ex-Mas (2025) 56% 2/5 EDIT “But one has to wonder when the comfort of a festive movie exactly like every other festive movie ceases to be comforting and instead becomes a kind of Sisyphean prison of futility, a reminder of your own unchanging life and unfulfilled dreams.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Playdate (2025) 23% 1.5/5 EDIT “It’s art-as-content in its most egregious and obvious form, and is utterly undeserving of even the 90 minutes it takes to suffer through.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Being Eddie (2025) 75% 2/5 EDIT “It’s a feature-length PR puff piece that, after a while, becomes deeply uncomfortable in its incessant self-congratulatory backslapping.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Mango (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Mehdi Avaz’s Danish-language Netflix original, written with Milad Schwartz Avaz, is sweet enough (like the mangoes), but completely lacks any distinguishing characteristics or meaningful ambitions.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Baramulla (2025) 54% 3/5 EDIT “These are serious matters, and while highlighting them in any work seems to be of value in a broad sense, reducing such a thing to exploded notions of good and evil, right and wrong, us and them, is a simplistic way of doing so.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Tyler Perry's Finding Joy (2025) 1.5/5 EDIT “The worst part is that it’s boring. It’s boring in its pacing and structure, in its predictability, and in its muddled outcomes. It’s boring visually and thematically. It isn’t about anything.” – Ready Steady Cut Nov 5, 2025 Full Review
