Wolfram (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Thornton demands a certain level of patience from the audience as the narratives mosey along, but his control of mood is a major asset. ” – Eye for Film Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Hot Water (2026) 89% 3/5 EDIT “It’s not that the journey is unpleasant but the stakes are very low and the lack of tension leads it to feel overstretched as a result.” – Eye for Film Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “By viewing the situation, at least initially, mostly from the perspective of the bears, the directors ask us to consider who exactly is trespassing on whose turf.” – Eye for Film Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Trial of Hein (2026) 4/5 EDIT “What gives Stänicke’s film the edge is the clever way he shifts the focus so that the narrative becomes less about the community than Hein himself.” – Eye for Film Feb 27, 2026 Full Review In A Whisper (2026) EDIT “The film unfolds over six days of mourning, and an impeccable ensemble cast and a vivid sense of time and place allow for a nuanced exploration of relationships under pressure; not just from personal prejudice, but also from wider social constraints.” – Screen International Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Frank & Louis (2026) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Prison dramas don’t come much more thoughtful, inquiring or humanistic” – Eye for Film Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “De Araújo is particularly good at evoking the emotional turmoil Jo feels.” – Eye for Film Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) 100% EDIT “Throughout the film, three things stand out: the love between Rushdie and Griffiths; the resilience they had in the face of his catastrophic injuries; and the author’s humanistic attitude and sly sense of humour, which have categorically survived intact.” – Screen International Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 70% EDIT “Chasing Summer is a smart, sexy crowdpleaser that should attract distributors who want to tap into female millennial audiences following its Sundance Premieres bow.” – Screen International Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Soul Patrol (2026) 100% EDIT “Although the Vietnam War and US civil rights history will hold more resonance for American audiences, the moving first-person testimony about the long shadow of conflict strikes a universal note that may interest specialist distributors elsewhere.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) 74% EDIT “Wain and Marino have a tendency to milk a joke, which proves unfortunate when it was barely funny the first time. All of which is not helped by a baggy narrative that, despite its Wizard of Oz template, feels structurally weak.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Gallerist (2026) 54% EDIT “Throughout, Portman, Ortega and Zeta-Jones bounce the script around like a ping-pong ball, with all three displaying meticulous timing. Costume designer Bénédicte Mouret also deserves particular credit not just for the outfits of the central characters.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% EDIT “It’s not every successful artist that would be willing to show the vulnerable side of fame and, as Charli says goodbye to brat, she also lays claim to a potential new chapter on screen.” – Screen International Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) 100% EDIT “Whether audiences agree that it has ’changed the narrative’ or not, it is a powerful testimony to a community’s ability to take control of their part of the story and give it a happy ending.” – Screen International Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 68% EDIT “With a measured pace and elliptical style, it occasionally loses momentum -- but Chris Pine and Jenny Slate are compelling as the will they/won’t they couple at its heart, thanks to careful scripting that gives them space to deliver between the lines.” – Screen International Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Baab (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Things don’t so much burrow under the skin of the protagonist of Baab, as get inside her head. ” – Eye for Film Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Karla (2025) EDIT “Krieps’ watchful nervousness is infectious and Tournatzés’ decision to eschew scoring and let the action play out mostly as a chamber piece adds to the airless tension that is generated as Karla struggles to lay out what has happened. ” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review In the Land of Arto (2025) EDIT “Stepanyan also is not afraid to take a risk or two, leading us into Celine’s headspace and imagined interactions with her husband’s ‘spirit’ with restraint and elegance.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review 9-Month Contract (2025) EDIT “The selfless love between a single mother and her teenage daughter is shown to be a fortress against an often exploitative and indifferent world in Ketevan Vashagashvili’s tough but moving documentary.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Phantoms of July (2025) EDIT “Radlmaier previously had strong success on the festival circuit with Bloodsuckers - A Marxist Vampire Comedy, and his ability to interrogate the vagaries of modern life with a light touch and plenty of humour should see Phantoms enjoy a similar run.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Flophouse America (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Strømdahl keeps us within the apartment for virtually the whole film, watching as Mikal tries to negotiate the unpredictability of Tonya and Jason or retreats into a world of video games.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Kenny Dalglish (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Fans will be familiar with most of what is presented here but it’s the voiceover from Dalglish and others that elevates this to a must-see for them.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Goodbye Sisters (2025) 4/5 EDIT “While the sisters are... often caught in close conversation, Murphy also knows when to hang back so that we get a picture of them in their environment, which emphasises the majesty of the Himalayas... and a sense of their smallness against the world.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review The Marbles (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Heartfelt and thorough.” – Eye for Film Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Belén (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “"A largely straightforward drama that is a bit too structurally loose for its own good, Argentina’s Oscar nominee is buoyed considerably by Fonzi’s own central performance and a solid ensemble cast." ” – Eye for Film Nov 13, 2025 Full Review
