Peril for the Guy (1956) 3/5 EDIT “Four feisty pre-teens looking forward to Bonfire Night find themselves mired in a kidnapping plot in this adventure featurette from the Children's Film Foundation. ” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Wish You Were Here (2025) 33% 2/5 EDIT “The likeable performers keep things ticking over from scene to scene, but the script clearly needed more careful honing before it was ready for primetime.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Into the Inferno (2016) 92% 4/5 EDIT “All in all, Herzog's most delightfully entertaining and purposeful documentary outing since 2007's treasurable Encounters at the End of the World.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Blind Corner (1963) 3/5 EDIT “ A solid afternoon-filler nonetheless.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Robbers' Roost (1955) 2/5 EDIT “Below-par frontier fare.” – Radio Times Jul 2, 2025 Full Review A Matter of Choice (1963) 2/5 EDIT “Anthony Steel's involvement as a thwarted Lothario is intermittent but adequate, and there are negligible rewards otherwise.” – Radio Times May 23, 2025 Full Review The Promise (1952) 2/5 EDIT “Sadly, the results veer more towards the turgid than the inspirational.” – Radio Times Apr 28, 2025 Full Review I Love Trouble (1947) 3/5 EDIT “The zingy dialogue shines, even if the storyline might not withstand close scrutiny.” – Radio Times Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Captain Pirate (1953) 3/5 EDIT “Snappier dialogue and a livelier supporting cast would have been better, but this is still respectable fare for a matinee double bill.” – Radio Times Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Isolation (2015) 2/5 EDIT “A holiday-from-hell scenario plays out in this modest thriller, reportedly inspired by a true story. ” – Radio Times Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Bullet Head (2017) 59% 3/5 EDIT “It's still very much a B-picture, but done with more verve and invention than you might expect.” – Radio Times Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Kickboxer: Retaliation (2018) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Story-wise, the movie's not reinventing the wheel, but the combat highlights are many and varied enough to please fans. ” – Radio Times Oct 18, 2024 Full Review The Red Turtle (2016) 93% 5/5 EDIT “The course of 80 minutes brings us nail-biting drama, a touch of romance (!) and a profound engagement with the cycle of life, all rendered in an exquisite line-drawing style that's elemental in its simplicity. ” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2024 Full Review The Large Rope (1953) 3/5 EDIT “Wolf Rilla often brought an outsider's eye to his journeyman assignments, and though the film is modest in impact, it offers a fascinating snapshot of post-war attitudes.” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Initiation (2020) 55% 2/5 EDIT “The climactic showdown and final twist are ably achieved, but by that time our interest has waned significantly. ” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2024 Full Review The Florida Project (2017) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Its potent combination of empathy, observation and miraculously natural performances make this a modern classic, with strong echoes of Ken Loach's very best work. ” – Radio Times Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Suicide Mission (1954) 3/5 EDIT “The integration of location filming, studio inserts and archive footage can be striking, especially during a bracing sequence of a lightly armed trawler getting strafed by the Luftwaffe.” – Radio Times Jul 1, 2024 Full Review A Banquet (2021) 57% 4/5 EDIT “Those who like their stories cut and dried might demur, but this is unnerving and ambitious fare, boosted by bravura performances.” – Radio Times Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Semper Fi (2019) 17% 2/5 EDIT “An unpersuasive action-driven movie rather different to the steady character fare that previously held our attention. ” – Radio Times May 20, 2024 Full Review Charcoal (2022) 100% 3/5 EDIT “This is a classy, absorbing portrait of good intentions on the drift.” – Radio Times Feb 29, 2024 Full Review The Rough, Tough West (1952) 2/5 EDIT “There's just enough rudimentary plotting, gunfights, fisticuffs and musical asides to keep the kiddie matinée crowd quiet for an hour. ” – Radio Times Feb 29, 2024 Full Review The Cleaning Lady (2018) 64% 3/5 EDIT “With its strongly disturbing material and palpable emotional undertow, this is something of an undiscovered gem, and well worth seeking out.” – Radio Times Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Raging Grace (2023) 95% 3/5 EDIT “It’s refreshing to see a first feature which isn’t just a calling card, but driven by an authentic need to find a fresh angle on representing an undervalued cultural heritage.” – Time Out Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Atanarjuat the Fast Runner (2001) 93% EDIT “Spellbinding as storytelling, it also prompts admiration for the Inuit people's patience, resilience and their overriding concern for harmony with the world around them.” – Time Out Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Falcon Lake (2022) 94% 4/5 EDIT “A knowing horror atmosphere brings freshness to an otherwise familiar rites-of-passage story, and the undertow of unease pays off in a multilayered finale” – Radio Times Oct 16, 2023 Full Review
