Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Sarah Manvel An extraordinary testament to what ordinary people standing together are capable of.... The picture painted here of the power of collective action and community is downright inspiring.

Trad (2025) Sarah Manvel It’s incredible to have a movie about a young girl be so safe and so understanding and with such genuine musicianship at the center. It’s an enormous achievement.

4/5
Yunan (2025) Maxance Vincent The jury is still out on Ameer Fakher Eldin’s filmmaking skills, but his worldview is cogent enough to make him a promising voice in humanist cinema.

Girls & Boys (2025) Sarah Manvel The best thing about Girls & Boys is one of the main characters is trans and absolutely no one blinks an eye at this... this is so delightful to see it’s just such a shame what’s on offer here isn’t more cleverly done.

The Stranger (2025) Sarah Manvel It is very hard to make a movie about an absence, but Mr. Voisin comes as close as anybody could, in a complimentary fashion, to demonstrating how surface is everything.

Back to the Past (2025) Sarah Manvel A very light entertainment that nobody should take too seriously.
Posted Jan 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) Sarah Manvel Not a perfect movie, with a less-than-ideal setup, but it has such a sunny desperation to please that it’s impossible to dislike.

Dhurandhar (2025) Sarah Manvel Dhurandhar leaves a pretty dirty taste in the mouth.

The Rip (2026) Manuel São Bento The Rip reveals itself to be an intriguing surprise that swaps easy pyrotechnics for psychological tension, leaning on the undeniable charisma of the Matt Damon and Ben Affleck duo and a steady direction by Joe Carnahan that values spatial containment.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Manuel São Bento 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple asserts itself as an audacious triumph that revitalizes the saga with unexpected ferocity, balancing the franchise’s most repulsive graphic horror with biting narrative intelligence.

3/5
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) Calum Cooper Children will likely be immersed in its fervent humour and zany style. Even the parents dragged to the cinema may find themselves chuckling along amiably.

4/5
The Little Sister (2025) Maxance Vincent [Nadia Melliti] is a total revelation. She will break your heart into a million pieces by the time you reach the film’s final scene.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Sarah Manvel All the dance scenes have an unusual, rowdy, vibrant energy that are entirely shot through with joy. This centers on Ms. Seyfried’s exceptional performance (just watch her eyes) as a woman who has come to realise the righteousness of her beliefs.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Manuel São Bento An immersive experience that proves that even when the world ends, there’s still room to find new paths amidst the rubble, as long as we’re willing to walk forward instead of constantly checking the rearview mirror.

3.5/5
Primate (2025) Maxance Vincent Roberts and co-screenwriter Ernest Riera seem aware that cinema, as mere pure entertainment, sometimes needs to stay within primal filmmaking methods to remind audiences what fun can feel like on the big screen.
Posted Jan 11, 2026  Edit critic review
The Raja Saab (2025) Sarah Manvel Trying to appeal to everybody made all its drama ridiculous.

4/5
Young Woman and the Sea (2024) Maxance Vincent It’s not hard to love Young Woman and the Sea. Handsomely crafted and beautifully presented, the movie seems to be the only Disney production made this year with soul and humanism behind and in front of the camera.

5/5
Daaaaaali! (2023) Maxance Vincent If I had a camera and the resources Dupieux has, I’d do the exact same [film] and wouldn’t feel remorseful about it, either.

4.5/5
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) Maxance Vincent The film is a perfect showcase to justify hiring Ritchie to helm the next title in the James Bond franchise.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Evil Does Not Exist (2023) Maxance Vincent The visual look, in particular, sees Hamaguchi at his most evocative, with images and transitions directly recalling Jacques Perconte’s Bois Des Montifaut, Forêt Des Bertranges.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
La Chimera (2023) Maxance Vincent Rorhwacher is a gifted visual artist, as evident in La Chimera’s poetic, almost ethereal approach to visual storytelling.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Road House (2024) Maxance Vincent [The film] has zero big-screen appeal, beyond the charisma of Gyllenhaal. He does a fine job here, but what’s the point of trying when everything else barely works?
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
One-Percent Warrior (2023) Maxance Vincent One-Percent Warrior will not be remembered as a great example of modern J-action cinema.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
One More Shot (2024) Maxance Vincent [Nunn elevates] every aspect of the first film’s action, never letting up on the momentum built by its first setpiece and constantly putting Harris in trickier and scarier situations than the last.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Cobweb (2023) Maxance Vincent Cobweb showcases the real horrors of filmmaking. However, Jee-woon ultimately does it in a timelier – and funnier – fashion, through the lens of contemporary filmmaking with techniques better utilized today than in [Damien Chazelle's Babylon].
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
4.5/5
How to Have Sex (2023) Maxance Vincent [Mia McKenna Bruce's] performance slowly devastates you until the final scene at an airport, which releases the tension meticulously built in an incredibly cathartic way.

2/5
Sixty Minutes (2024) Maxance Vincent Somewhat decent action doesn’t cut it in our contemporary landscape, where filmmakers continuously break the mold and reinvent the genre, one movie at a time.

4/5
Origin (2023) Maxance Vincent It’s not only one of the most important films of the decade but also DuVernay’s greatest film – a testament to her authorial powers as both a filmmaker and activist.

4/5
Mean Girls (2024) Maxance Vincent There’s something so pure about seeing a near-perfect marriage of striking images that deftly set the pace and energy the musical numbers need to feel alive and cinematic.

Mayhem! (2023) Maxance Vincent [Xavier] Gens has never been more confident behind the camera.

The Three Musketeers: Part II - Milady (2023) Maxance Vincent Bourboulon’s staging and enthralling performances from François Civil and Eva Green breathe new life into Alexandre Dumas and bring it to a new generation of moviegoers with more contemporary viewing sensibilities.

We Bury the Dead (2024) Manuel São Bento A visceral reminder that the true battle isn't against the monsters walking out there, but against the memories that refuse to let us go, proving that sometimes the only way to survive grief is to finally look it in the eye.

The Housemaid (2025) Manuel São Bento The Housemaid leans on the undeniable talent of an Amanda Seyfried in her prime and Paul Feig‘s ability to create a crowd-pleaser that knows its limitations.

Goodbye June (2025) Manuel São Bento In the end, it leaves the lesson that death isn't just the abrupt closing of a book, but the final chapter of a life that deserves to be read with the courage of someone who knows that love is the only thing that survives the eternal silence.

The Great Flood (2025) Manuel São Bento The Great Flood ends up being a bittersweet experience, promising an immersion into the human soul in the face of the abyss, but floating only on the surface of several ideas without truly diving into any of them.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Manuel São Bento James Cameron is an undeniable visionary, but he seems to have forgotten that for a flame to keep burning brightly, it needs new fuel and not just the ashes of yesterday.
Posted Dec 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Ready or Not (2025) Sarah Manvel It’s not fair to complain that Ready or Not doesn’t have a clever answer for the issues of consent, misogyny and violence it’s brave enough to address, but life isn’t fair, so art should be.
Posted Dec 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Aontas (2025) Sarah Manvel Aontas punches considerably above its weight with its intelligence about a plot that seems simple on the surface.
Posted Dec 11, 2025  Edit critic review
La venue de l'avenir (2025) Sarah Manvel A charming fairy tale positively brimming with kindness, both for its people and for our art.

Dust Bunny (2025) Manuel São Bento Bryan Fuller reminds us that the monsters under the bed are as real as the pain that feeds them, and that true courage lies not in having no fear, but in finding someone who believes in our truth enough to help us turn on the light.

3/5
Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Calum Cooper Just as gory and arguably even more preposterous than its predecessor, yet proves just as fun to indulge in.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Merrily We Roll Along (2025) Carmen Paddock This proshot, despite its over-fondness for close-ups, is a tremendous document to a monumental production of a tricky masterpiece that shows Groff, Radcliffe, Mendez, Sondheim, Furth, and company in the best possible light.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Train Dreams (2025) Sarah Manvel An extraordinary experience, one of the transcendent ones a lot of art aims for but very few achieve. Watch it and your heart will be eased.
Posted Dec 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Lady (2025) Sarah Manvel The clever special effects elevate Lady from yet another mockumentary into something stranger and wilder. And the surprise is not just how well... the impossible plot twist feel[s] almost ordinary, but also how smoothly [it] balances cruelty and kindness.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Pillion (2025) Sarah Manvel The greatest glory of Pillion is that its sexual boldness is in service to an important point about self-determination and personal desire. We can watch this for the action, the message, or both.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Dreams (2025) Sarah Manvel The strong core performances in the unpleasant central relationship make Dreams worth seeing, but it’s an exercise in rhetoric instead of emotion.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
A Private Life (2025) Sarah Manvel It’s so ordinary nowadays for crime stories to have an absolutely terrific setup leading to a whimper of an ending, so when one plays its cards as well as A Private Life does it should be praised from the rooftops.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Eternity (2025) Amelia Harvey Eternity is a rare thing in 2025 Hollywood, it’s a creative, original story that isn’t trying to cash in on existing IP or demands 10 more sequels for the ending to make sense.
Posted Dec 04, 2025  Edit critic review
The Secret Agent (2025) Sarah Manvel A lot like Waiting for Godot, as it is two and a half hours of set-up with an unusual ending.
