Mercy (2026) Jason Miller By the time the credits roll, 'Mercy' lingers more as an experience than a statement.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Sara Clements DaCosta takes the directorial reins from Boyle, infusing Alex Garland’s script with a sense of horror that feels more subdued and intimate, yet no less incendiary.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Matt Minton Song Sung Blue is made with such falsely constructed schmaltz that it manages to fall into that camp anyway.

Primate (2025) Rebecca Johnson Defying the odds by providing gory and grotesque horror, a snappy run-time, well-timed humor, and clever sound design, Primate is an absolute blast.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Jason Miller Pandora is still absolutely stunning, yet the journey through it is beginning to feel a little too familiar.

The Housemaid (2025) Jason Miller A twisty, steamy thriller that weaponizes desire and deception.

C-
Shelby Oaks (2023) Lauren Coates Though Shelby Oaks sets out with admirable intentions to create a new, atmospheric nightmare for audiences, the film’s pervasive lack of personality and inability to commit to a subgenre result in a muddled, often frustrating debut from Stuckmann.

Weapons (2025) Lauren Coates Infused with a singular blend of horror-comedy, Weapons (produced, written, and directed by Cregger) is a gripping, tonally dizzying film that’s as funny as it is frightening.

B-
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Amelia Harvey While Dead Man’s Wire feels like it could have been made in 1977, the ideas speak very much to the modern world. It’s a scathing takedown of the American dream and the idea that anyone can get rich if they work hard.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) Zofia Wijaszka The uncut, unrated version, presented in 70mm and 35mm, titled "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair", is a spectacular, gloriously gory feast for both the mind and the eyes.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Jason Miller It’s warm, funny, surprisingly thoughtful, and effortlessly charming.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Amelia Harvey Mary Brownstein delivers an unflinching portrayal of the guilt of motherhood, saying the quiet bit out loud. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You isn’t a palatable film for everyone. It’s more uninhibited than women in American cinema are commonly allowed.

C
100 Nights of Hero (2025) Amelia Harvey Julia Jackman’s historical fantasy 100 Nights of Hero is an aesthetically pleasing queer feminist fairytale, but does it have much to say beneath the pastel veneer? Probably not as much as it thinks it does.

Eternity (2025) Jason Miller Sweet, sincere, and with heart, Eternity mixes emotion and humor with surprising finesse.

Die My Love (2025) Jalyn Sanderson A film that breaks down before Grace does.

Rose of Nevada (2025) Amelia Harvey While Rose of Nevada is Jenkin’s most accessible work to date, he hasn’t compromised his signature style to appease audiences.
Posted Nov 09, 2025  Edit critic review
C-
Coyotes (2025) Rebecca Johnson Despite two very committed performances from Long and Bosworth and some entertaining gore, Coyotes mostly falls flat due to a lack of urgency and tension, mild giggles, and not enough focus on its social commentary.
Posted Nov 02, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Is This Thing On? (2025) Rebecca Johnson His [Cooper's] lightest movie yet, but also one of his most human, tender, and heartfelt, Is This Thing On? boasts hearty laughs, great performances, and a much-needed softer take on relationship breakdown.
Posted Oct 21, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
The History of Sound (2025) Amelia Harvey Oliver Hermanus takes two of the most romantic leading men in modern cinema and directs them in the most sexless and unsentimental way possible.
Posted Oct 20, 2025  Edit critic review
C
Christy (2025) Amelia Harvey For a movie about a great woman, it ends in a strange place that puts a man too much at the forefront of the story.
Posted Oct 18, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Blue Moon (2025) Amelia Harvey Blue Moon is a charming portrait of a troubled genius and a fitting tribute to a great man who has not been given the flowers he deserved.

Good Fortune (2025) Jason Miller Good Fortune is a hilarious, heartfelt journey with Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, and Keke Palmer. A refreshing, feel-good comedy with great chemistry and sharp humor.

B
Hedda (2025) Amelia Harvey Hedda is a delicious anti-period drama with all the look of your classic BBC drama but with all the sensibilities of a modern drama. It’s a sharply written piece with an excellent leading performance from Tessa Thompson.

Hamnet (2025) Rebecca Johnson Beautifully adapted by filmmaker Chloé Zhao, Hamnet is a simultaneously gentle yet devastating story of grief and loss, guided by award-worthy performances.

A
Black Phone 2 (2025) Zofia Wijaszka "Black Phone 2" explores many things: lingering trauma, grief, faith, and the inescapable presence of evil. It’s about family heritage, and whether it’s a blessing or a curse. All of this is wrapped in a sharp, emotionally resonant story (...).

B
Frankenstein (2025) Amelia Harvey Del Toro pulls out all his best gothic gore tricks in Frankenstein without ever losing the heart and soul of the fairytale.
Posted Oct 14, 2025  Edit critic review
C-
After the Hunt (2025) Rebecca Johnson Despite being well-acted, nicely shot and featuring plenty of intriguing themes, After the Hunt is quite the opposite. Failing to stick the landing in messaging, pace, and dialogue, it’s a rare disappointment from the talented cast and crew.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Bugonia (2025) Amelia Harvey Lanthimos is unusually restrained in Bugonia, toning back many of his trademarks. The genre stylings are replaced by a 21st-century paranoia and an uncharacteristic bleakness.

Roofman (2025) Sara Clements Roofman is based on the almost unbelievable true story of the “Roofman Robber,” but beneath its stranger-than-fiction premise lies a heartbreakingly human tale of failure, family, and the fantasy of redemption.

A
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Amelia Harvey Ultimately, The Testament of Ann Lee is an unforgettable experience that works when you feel the story instead of thinking about it. Mona Fastvold and Brady Corbet might just have a future masterpiece on their hands.

C
TRON: Ares (2025) Michael Sowell TRON: Ares dazzles with breathtaking visuals and nostalgia, but it short-circuits when it comes to emotional depth and storytelling.

B
Bad Apples (2025) Amelia Harvey In its own way, Bad Apples uses snark and zaniness to make a much-needed point about teaching and parenthood. Perhaps the message gets lost in the inane ending, but the journey there is full of unexpected thrills and laughs.

Affection (2025) Zofia Wijaszka With Jessica Rothe of "Happy Death Day" leading the cast, the film draws you in with its premise, though its writing occasionally stumbles.

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Sara Clements What unfolds is not just a biopic or a behind-the-scenes reenactment; it’s a cinephile’s dream. It’s a film about filmmaking that revels in spontaneity, celebrates rebellion, and honours the radical power of creative freedom.

Good Boy (2025) Rebecca Johnson Succinct with its run-time and solid with its scares, Good Boy not only provides a unique idea, but a damn good horror movie in the process.

Dead of Winter (2025) Zofia Wijaszka Dead of Winter is worth watching, especially if you appreciate slower-burn thrillers that explore not just suspense but also the emotional impact of loss.

Jennifer's Body (2009) Zofia Wijaszka Fox and Seyfried’s chemistry that electrifies the film. Their dynamic is both haunting and captivating, with queer undertones that invite audiences to interpret the relationship through their own lens.

Motor City (2025) Michael Sowell Motor City is a dialogue-free revenge thriller that plays like the longest, grittiest 70s music video you’ve ever seen.

The Furious (2025) Michael Sowell The Furious succeeds not by reinventing the revenge thriller template, but by executing it with precision, ferocity, and emotional intelligence that makes familiar elements feel vital to the audience.

Eleanor the Great (2025) Jalyn Sanderson At first glance, Eleanor the Great could be seen as a story of deception, but Johansson crafts something far more profound. It’s a meditation on grief, friendship, and the quiet ways people cope with unbearable loss.

The Long Walk (2025) Jason Miller The Long Walk is not an easy film to watch. It is emotionally taxing and often deeply upsetting. But it is also a stunning achievement in genre filmmaking.

The Thursday Murder Club (2025) Rebecca Johnson Competently acted, charming, and entirely inoffensive, The Thursday Murder Club doesn’t provide the most clever case or loud laughs, but entertains nonetheless.

Freakier Friday (2025) Jason Miller Lohan and Curtis haven’t lost an ounce of comedic timing or chemistry. Curtis, especially, relishes the chance to once again play a teenager in an adult body, except this time with even more “I can’t believe I’m doing this again” self-awareness.

Lurker (2025) Rebecca Johnson A meticulously paced thriller with excellent performances across the board, Lurker is a thought-provoking and unsettling debut feature with a compelling character study at its core.
