My Boyfriend Is a Superhero!? (2025) EDIT “Hooroo Jackson's latest one-man effort, that cost less than the catering on an indie drama, pops with visual flourishes and mimics human emotions pushing AI forward in the process.” – martincarr.co.uk Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Merv (2025) 36% 6/10 EDIT “ Merv exploits its limitations by throwing in everything including the kitchen sink. Whether this approach makes things better or worse is up for debate, but one thing is certain: this doggie romcom successfully ticks a few boxes and is worth the stream.” – CBR Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Luv Ya, Bum! (2025) 100% EDIT “For fans of the NFL Luv Ya Bum is a no-brainer, giving them curated clips, and endless reams of trivia to satisfy their passion for American football. ” – martincarr.co.uk Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Barron's Cove (2024) 63% EDIT “As a thriller Barron's Cove is most effective when pushing the boundaries of good taste, while writer-director Evan Ari Kelman concisely dissects the corrupt nature of human beings when it comes to the acquisition of power. ” – martincarr.co.uk Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Bull Run (2024) EDIT “Bull Run might be adapted from a memoir by screenwriter Bill Keenan, but it also acknowledges Hollywood high finance staples Boiler Room, Margin Call, and American Psycho ” – martincarr.co.uk Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 9/10 EDIT “Rental Family embraces Japanese culture and seeks to explore emotional connections in an open and honest, using Brendan Fraser's performance as a launch pad. Cementing this film with audiences who will soon acknowledge it as a contemporary classic.” – CBR Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Stone Cold Fox (2025) 60% 7/10 EDIT “Whatever audiences take away from the film, there is no denying it delivers sheer entertainment. Darkly comic on occasion, seedier than Liv Tyler’s turn in Super, and more fun than anything this far down the cinematic food chain deserves to be.” – CBR Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Odd Man Rush (2020) EDIT “Trading on culture clash comedy staples, and an eccentric cast of Scandinavian character actors, Odd Man Rush also exhibits gentle romcom vibes. Jack Mulhern plays the perfect everyman alongside Elektra Kilbey, and carries this film effortlessly.” – martincarr.co.uk Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “From the self-effacing voice over that allows audiences a way inside his head, through to the subtle displays of intelligence on screen, Channing Tatum gets under the skin of Manchester, transforming Roofman into an uncut gem.” – martincarr.co.uk Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Orchid (2025) EDIT “Orchid is divisive and walks a storytelling tightrope that requires clarity of vision, and audiences willing to commit. Writer-director Jacque Rabie has created something intent on promoting debate, that equally ostentatious and introspective by design.” – martincarr.co.uk Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% EDIT “Fans of the Raid films will relish some of the audacious action sequences. while Hardy fashions a gruff powerhouse performance from the bones of Walker. Fans of Gareth Evans will feel appeased as unleashes Tom Hardy to wreak Havoc, literally. ” – martincarr.co.uk Sep 8, 2025 Full Review The Cut (2024) 69% 8/10 EDIT “The boxer carries a similar burden defined through childhood trauma that robs him of glory, revealing The Cut to be a haunting experience that feels oddly mainstream upon reflection, despite those indie undertones and formidable performances throughout.” – CBR Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% EDIT “Dangerous Animals is about more than sharks and director Sean Byrne captures Jai Courtney's dynamic performance from all angles as he dominates throughout. Proving why humans rule over the food chain for a reason.” – martincarr.co.uk Sep 1, 2025 Full Review A Halloween Feast (2024) EDIT “There is no denying writer-director Guile Branco has delivered his vision to the screen, embracing every element with real gusto, but A Halloween Feast rarely rises above those B-movie roots.” – martincarr.co.uk Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Back to Berlin (2018) 100% EDIT “What makes Back to Berlin so powerful is not the numbers exterminated, but those recollections caught on camera which give voice to these atrocities. They are the beating heart of this film adding authenticity and gravitas without seeming to try.” – martincarr.co.uk Jul 27, 2025 Full Review It's Coming (2023) 100% EDIT “This documentary is hard to shake. Feature film fans and cynics may be unconvinced by events captured in-camera, desensitised by decades of supernatural sequels, but It’s Coming feels different.” – martincarr.co.uk Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Portraits of Dangerous Women (2024) 67% EDIT “Portraits of Dangerous Women is a quintessential countryside character study. One concealing gentle moments of melodrama, captured in a picture-perfect setting and intriguing from the outset.” – martincarr.co.uk Jul 6, 2025 Full Review Fountain of Youth (2025) 35% EDIT “For audiences who like everything handed to them on a plate Fountain of Youth might work. What story there is requires no effort to understand, and production values are consistently solid , but it relies too heavily on recycled genre tropes.” – martincarr.co.uk Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Tether (2025) EDIT “Gun culture in America has reached a tipping point, and the constitutional right to bear arms comes with consequences. Tether seeks to shake people out of their apathy and instigate change through awareness.” – martincarr.co.uk Jun 23, 2025 Full Review A Very Long Carriage Ride (2025) EDIT “A Very Long Carriage Ride might not combine elements of Jane Austen and Alexandre Dumas with the flair audiences expect right now, but when that time comes, hopefully Hollywood will have evolved enough to acknowledge AI has something else to offer. ” – martincarr.co.uk Jun 21, 2025 Full Review The Invisible Doctrine (2025) EDIT “What George Monbiot is doing through his dissection of neo-liberalism in The Invisible Doctrine is educating and intellectually arming those who need to know. Bridging the gap between theory and practice with straightforward explanations. ” – martincarr.co.uk Jun 14, 2025 Full Review BitterSweet (2025) EDIT “Occasionally, a movie will come along that is elevated not by technical prowess or even consistent performances, but something intangible and BitterSweet. Writer-director Steven Martini has captured that perfectly with this exploration of adult autism.” – martincarr.co.uk Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% EDIT “ The fact this rich tapestry has been explored with such reserve in Ballerina, only hints at what may yet be in store for audiences who hold out hope for a sequel to Ballerina. Proof that Ana de Armas more than delivers in this debut.” – martincarr.co.uk Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% EDIT “Following on from Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part I, this final chapter takes liberties with an excessive runtime, before morphing into an exceptional swansong for a compelling franchise.” – martincarr.co.uk May 29, 2025 Full Review Pride & Prejudice (2005) 87% 9/10 EDIT “Now, more than ever, audiences could do with some old-fashioned love stories. A time when dances were arranged for people to meet, marry, and settle down together. When the highest accolade a man and woman could hope for was marriage to someone nice. ” – CBR May 28, 2025 Full Review
