3/5
Birds of War (2026) Joseph Tomastik The story being told in Birds of War is so befitting of a classic narrative that I’d say it feels a little unrealistic had I not known that it’s obviously… well, real.

2/5
Untitled Home Invasion Romance (2025) Jordon Searle The film wants to feel like a Fargo, but it lacks the three-dimensional characters and the twisty story that made that film so brilliant.

Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Scott Wilson A mission statement to love thy neighbour and, if called upon, defend them too.

2/5
Mercy (2026) Roberto Tyler Ortiz Mercy wants to look forward, but it refuses to think forward. And in a story about the dangers of letting machines decide our fate, that lack of reflection may be its greatest failure.

Altered (2025) Justin Bower Altered’s visual effects and action sequences are captivating, but its shortcomings lie in poor sound design and problematic writing.

4/5
In Cold Light (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Don’t be fooled by the lame poster, which features Monroe’s Ava holding a gun and staring at the horizon, Liam Neeson-style; In Cold Light is a disturbing and well-crafted little thriller.

4/5
The Rip (2026) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Joe Carnahan’s The Rip is a suspenseful cop thriller full of surprising twists, fun action and solid, believable performances.

3.5/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Philip Bagnall DaCosta delivers a film that feels leaner and meaner, forcing the characters to abandon hopes of security, and to find hope and/or escape by any means necessary.

4.5/5
A Poet (2025) Maxance Vincent At the start of the year, Simón Mesa Soto’s A Poet already positions itself as an unforgettable film, one that is both morbidly funny and profoundly human.

2.5/5
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Justin Kim Greenland 2: Migration quickly ditches the much more interesting idea of showing the aftermath of a disaster movie in favor of yet another disaster movie.

Signing Tony Raymond (2025) Elliott Cuff Signing Tony Raymond combines humour and heartfelt character drama in a sports film about the people behind the accomplishments and statistics.

2.5/5
SHEEPDOG (2025) Jordon Searle Sheepdog shows glimpses of promising direction and competent acting performances, but lacks the strong screenplay to take the film to the lofty heights it is aiming for.

2.5/5
Dog 51 (2025) Maxance Vincent One leaves Dog 51 with the crushing disappointment that it could’ve been something much greater than what Jimenez ultimately puts on screen.

3/5
My Neighbor Adolf (2022) Scott Wilson My Neighbor Adolf is to be cherished for its sweet scenes of friendship and resolution, then, and less so for its post-WWII paranoia.

2/5
Sleepwalker (2026) Joe Botten There’s a version of this story that could have explored parental grief with real weight, something almost European in its willingness to let loss transcend the boundaries of life and death. Instead, Sleepwalker settles for surface-level scares.

3.5/5
I Was a Stranger (2024) Joshua Stevens I Was A Stranger captures the chaos of the Syrian Civil War and refugee crisis, making for an unrelenting, bleak, but purposeful experience.

4/5
All That's Left of You (2025) Maxance Vincent Cherien Dabis draws one of the most important movies of the year with All That’s Left of You, a difficult but necessary watch to bear witness to past and present-day atrocities.

3/5
The Mother and the Bear (2024) Jordon Searle The script needed a lot more refinement for the audience to fully appreciate the journey Sara goes on [...]. That being said, the characters are very sweet, and you can’t help but enjoy being around Sara as she karaokes her way through her feelings.

2.5/5
Anaconda (2025) Maxance Vincent If you want an insane, participatory time at the movies, the [1997] original is right there, waiting for you to experience something beyond description. Sadly, Gormican never reaches those heights.

3/5
We Bury the Dead (2024) Ben Sears For each of its zombie genre innovations, We Bury the Dead is too hamstrung by its conventions, and becomes too meditative to excite.

3.5
Dragonfly (2025) Clotilde Chinnici Overall, Dragonfly is an exciting and original film that audiences should ideally know very little about before walking in, in order to properly enjoy it.
Posted Dec 21, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
In Your Dreams (2025) Clotilde Chinnici With its positive message of embracing adversity rather than shying away from it, the movie is perfectly suited for kids who make up the primary audience of this film.
Posted Dec 21, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Housemaid (2025) Clotilde Chinnici Overall, The Housemaid is a tense and terrifying thriller that will have the audience hold their breath at every twist and turn that it presents us with.

4/5
The Plague (2025) Sophie Frank The Plague, Charlie Polinger’s beautiful and timely directorial debut about kids at summer camp, grapples with the monstrosity of boyhood.

4/5
The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) Hayley Croke Diego Céspedes’ The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Its fantastical elements form an alluring gravitational pull to the messages at the film’s core about love, compassion and empathy.

3.5/5
Goodbye June (2025) Bethany Lola Goodbye June is one of the most heartfelt movies of the year; it’s a little tedious in places, but it’s a powerful portrayal of the importance of showing up for family when everyone’s feeling their own form of grief towards the same person.

4.5/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Branyan Towe Avatar: Fire and Ash is easily one of this year’s best films. Its story, visuals, and action are all top notch as James Cameron keeps pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the big screen in a way that seems effortless.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Ella McCay (2025) Branyan Towe Ella McCay should be able to find an audience, though I’m not sure how big it’ll be. There’s a lot to like about James L. Brooks’ latest even with its drawbacks.

2.5/5
Lone Samurai (2025) Jordon Searle Josh C. Waller has some strong ideas, but the film was never going to rise above the pulpy nature of a ‘Samurai vs Cannibal’ action flick.

3/5
Influencers (2025) Justin Kim Reasonably satisfying as a basic thriller. However, it is a little ironic that a movie that pokes fun at sensationalist influencers ends up resorting to sensationalist spectacle over deeper introspection.

2.5/5
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Joseph Tomastik I’d recommend you do what the characters in the film should’ve done: never go back to Freddy’s.

3/5
Turbulence (2025) Joe Botten It’s looking for action and suspense, and while its production sometimes feels coach, its ambition to entertain is all business class.

4.5/5
Dust Bunny (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn One of the most original and surreal experiences you can have at the cinema this year.

Lurker (2025) Serena Seghedoni Thanks to fantastic characterisation and superb performances from Théodore Pellerin and Archie Madekwe, it’s up to you to decide the exact nature of our protagonists’ relationship, and this makes the movie even more impressive.

3/5
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Bethany Lola Silent Night, Deadly Night is one of the year’s silliest yet goriest horrors, with a great lead performance from new scream king Rohan Campbell.

Oh. What. Fun. (2025) Bethany Lola It’s not a revolutionary concept, but it is one that is guaranteed to get you wanting to hug your family.

Frontier Crucible (2025) Elliott Cuff Frontier Crucible embraces all that makes the Western a timeless genre: it’s thoughtful, violent, and set against the gorgeous American West.

5/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Serena Seghedoni With flawless storytelling and characterization, superb rhythm and technical execution, and a fantastic lead performance from Timothée Chalamet, Josh Safdie teaches us that sometimes, while we’re busy chasing a dream, real life happens, and we grow up.

2.5/5
Desperate Journey (2025) Philip Bagnall Though handsome and not without compelling moments, Annabel Jankel’s Desperate Journey tries to do too much within its modest means.

4.5/5
Eternity (2025) Hayley Croke Eternity is a hilarious, spellbinding look at love through the eyes of death. David Freyne’s afterlife is methodically built to raise questions of morality, longevity and self in the face of the most definitive decision a person can make.

4.5/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) Joe Botten In a year full of safe sequels and hollow reboots, Zootopia 2 stands out because it builds on its predecessor with care.

3/5
Wildcat (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn James Nunn’s Wildcat is a surprisingly well-made action thriller that rises slightly above Kate Beckinsale’s recent fare.

2/5
The Family Plan 2 (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn What could have been a rather old-fashioned family adventure, like the kind we used to get back in the days of made-for-TV and direct-to-DVD movies, ends up being a dull, humourless and shoddily shot affair.
Posted Nov 24, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Red Spectacles (1987) Justin Bower What starts as an exploration of an authoritarian state morphs into surrealism, satire, and slapstick humor to create an experience that’s as hard to follow as it is to dislike.
Posted Nov 20, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) Joseph Tomastik For about an hour, it’s a very solid if slightly scattershot continuation of the Wicked story. But as soon as the Wizard of Oz plot makes its way in, the entire thing quickly falls apart.

2/5
The Carpenter's Son (2025) Philip Bagnall Try as he might, Nathan’s has broken the first commandment of filmmaking: thou shalt not bore.
Posted Nov 18, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Keeper (2025) William Stottor Despite some immense moments of impressive horror, Keeper is a surprisingly generic entry in Osgood Perkins’ increasingly baffling filmography.

2/5
Before We Begin (2024) Roberto Tyler Ortiz Before We Begin looks beautiful and sounds comforting, but weak performances and dull writing leave it emotionally flat.

3/5
Blue Eyed Girl (2025) Joseph Tomastik It bends itself around a contrived and hollow romcom plot that, in turn, leaves the rest of its material underserved.
Posted Nov 17, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Running Man (2025) Serena Seghedoni With a likable protagonist, smart narrative choices, and the kind of flawless technical execution we’ve come to expect from Wright and his team, The Running Man is a gripping and timely adaptation that you should definitely seek out.
