28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “The new film is among Garland’s finest, integrating his societal speculations as writer-director of Ex Machina (2014) and Men (2022) with lean action, and reconciliation with self-preserving slaughter. ” – The Arts Desk Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Six Billion Dollar Man (2025) 79% EDIT “This is an otherwise sober story of state crime upon crime, leaving Assange just another pawn in their game.” – The Arts Desk Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Relay (2024) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Really, it’s a modern take on the pulp fables of writers such as Charles Willeford, with crime and passion spurring characters to their fates, while Mackenzie taps Hitchcock for voyeuristic tension. Director and cast keep the conceit’s heart beating.” – The Arts Desk Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Palestine 36 (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “There are longueurs where the strained production and desire to include every aspect of an important story dilute Palestine 36’s emotional currency... This is still urgent, unapologetically partial but carefully considered history.” – The Arts Desk Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Irena's Vow (2023) 86% EDIT “Irena’s Vow continues the understandable preference since Schindler’s List (1993) for vignettes of goodness and hope over the camps’ overwhelming hopelessness. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a frequently impressive adaptation with new thoughts and encyclopaedic 19th century themes... It is, though, weighed down by excess baggage the director couldn’t bear to throw overboard.” – The Arts Desk Oct 20, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “A House of Dynamite doesn’t ratchet up the tension like Bigelow’s best, suffering in this sense from its repeated scenario. But as a cautionary tale without an exit, it lingers.” – The Arts Desk Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Sex (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “It's that essential kindness, a soft though realistic heart also reflected in cinematographer Cecilie Semec’s blissful summer light, which adds a visionary element to this quietly beautiful trilogy.” – The Arts Desk Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Love (2024) 96% 4/5 EDIT “This Oslo of Haugerud’s fervent imagining stands as an urban declaration of rights, a statement of unshackled pleasure.” – The Arts Desk Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Gonzo smalltown portraits, guffaw-choking menace and cathartic thrills give the studio-backed, mid-budget horror film a good name. Aim steadied by a gamely capable cast, Weapons hits its target.” – The Arts Desk Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Dreams (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Love and Sex complete the thematically interwoven sequence, which unpick assumptions about sexual identity with gentle irony.” – The Arts Desk Aug 5, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “[The Fantastic Four: First Steps is] a fantasy running counter to everything we expect of human behaviour, one hardwired into Lee and Kirby’s comics.” – The Arts Desk Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire (2024) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Hunt-Erlich anyway conveys forest stillness, and something of the intellectual and ecological atmosphere of Césaire’s life, the landscape in which she moved. Saturated 16mm film adds to this tangibility even as...the director’s subject stays elusive.” – The Arts Desk Jul 22, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “[Danny Boyle's] idea-laden thrill-ride provides bloody catharsis, and perhaps in its promised sequels a corrective, to a Britain currently primed to retreat into a wearily cannibalised fictive past.” – The Arts Desk Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Ballerina is a typical 2020s blockbuster, employing fine actors to portentously emote...while spuriously thin yet exponentially growing mythologies justify the punch-ups. ” – The Arts Desk Jun 6, 2025 Full Review When The Light Breaks (2024) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Rúnarsson is less interested in death than the responses it wrenches from lives on adulthood’s cusp. It’s a slight yet profound tale told over 80 concise minutes...” – The Arts Desk May 28, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “...The Monkey is a resolutely minor, down and dirty B-movie, relishing cartoon gore and comic excess.” – The Arts Desk Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 2/5 EDIT “Talk of the Avengers reassembling recalls happier days, but Marvel hasn’t yet found the serum to rejuvenate its exhausted universe.” – The Arts Desk Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 3/5 EDIT “If some fascination evaporates, the outre family portrait lingers.” – The Arts Desk Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The subliminal logic is of dreams, the intention immersive, as Ross’s camera inhabits his protagonists’ minds, perhaps even grasping for their souls.” – The Arts Desk Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Comandante (2023) 41% 3/5 EDIT “For all the modern touches, this ends as the kind of sea yarn Jack Hawkins helmed in the Fifties. ” – The Arts Desk Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Milisuthando (2023) 95% 4/5 EDIT “This poetic film elegantly divines forgotten tributaries of what happened to South Africans, and connects to salving, ancient truths.” – The Arts Desk Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The film bursts into hot life in Benin’s capital Cotonou, where Diop selected fiercely informed students for a freewheeling, fiery intellectual debate. ” – The Arts Desk Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3/5 EDIT “Venom is a visually interesting creation, with his Alien knock-off, knife-toothed predator’s head belied by big, wet eyes, but the weightless digital punch-ups feel unreal, and being asked to shed a tear for the head-chomping lug is too much.” – The Arts Desk Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Salem's Lot (2024) 46% 2/5 EDIT “There are hints of a larger American story this Salem’s Lot is too gutted to tell.” – The Arts Desk Oct 15, 2024 Full Review
