The Wrecking Crew (2026) 86% 3/5 EDIT “The whole package is an easily digested guilty pleasure.” – Guardian Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Overall, this is better and glossier than some of the Adams-Poser posse’s earlier efforts, but perhaps not quite enough of an evolution to take their vision to the next level.” – Guardian Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Knife (2024) 91% 3/5 EDIT “With just a few subtle strokes, the screenplay underscores how everyone here is fudging the truth a bit, and its restraint is the film’s quiet strength.” – Guardian Jan 13, 2026 Full Review I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Best of all, Zenovich and her editor, splicing and dicing 50 years of archive material, get across Chase’s abundant talent at its best, particularly his masterly command of the pratfall, and his immaculate comic timing.” – Guardian Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Light Needs (2023) 5/5 EDIT “A thoughtful electronic score adds a playful touch throughout, and this works as a coherent film despite its fragmentary parts. Immaculate.” – Guardian Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy (2025) 25% 2/5 EDIT “You’d think with all that palaver about novels becoming reality and so on that this would have a bit more fun with metatextual jokes, but no, the film is profoundly single note.” – Guardian Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Europe's New Faces (2025) 2/5 EDIT “The lack of story, structure, or any clear editorial principle is a serious impediment to empathy for these poor, struggling people; the 159-minute runtime feels like four years.” – Guardian Dec 16, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “Given its confusion as to whether it is The Thin Man revisited or James Bond updated, it muddles through well enough.” – Sight & Sound Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea (2025) 3/5 EDIT “In technical terms, this suffers a bit from a somewhat scattered narrative approach and a tacky musical score that overemphasises the emotional beats. But it’s a fascinating subject that’s little discussed outside the far east.” – Guardian Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Tale of Silyan (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Kotevska depicts the growing bond between man and bird with warmth and humour, and while the musical score is a bit on the sappy side, there are enough drolly astringent touches to make this cockle-warming family viewing.” – Guardian Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Dreamers (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Thanks to subtle, considered performances, a finely milled script, inventive craftsmanship and a deep sense of empathy for the precarious lives of refugees, it packs a considerable wallop.” – Guardian Dec 2, 2025 Full Review The Boatyard (2025) 1/5 EDIT “In the end, this isn’t anywhere near as gory as the Hills films at their worst, but there’s something much more dispiriting about The Boatyard’s pointlessness, its lack of wit, empathy, or basic film-making skill. ” – Guardian Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Six Days in Spring (2025) EDIT “The elliptical storytelling in Lafosse’s script arguably holds back too much information, compelling the viewer to wonder why they should invest in the characters’ fates. At least the cast are likable enough to coax empathy.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Ungrateful Beings (2025) EDIT “Omerzu’s touch is light, ironic and gently amused, a little reminiscent of François Ozon, who has a similar facility with twisty sly comedy-drama grounded in pain.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Weightless (2025) EDIT “An audacious but sensitive feature debut from director Emilie Thalund.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Primitive War (2025) 65% 3/5 EDIT “There’s a cheerful cheesy gleefulness that motors the movie along.” – Guardian Nov 25, 2025 Full Review A Desert (2024) 83% 3/5 EDIT “It’s perhaps not a very profound message, but the visual and editing styles are swoony and most bewitching.” – Guardian Nov 18, 2025 Full Review 3 Wishes for Christmas (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Think of the most unimaginative, boring Christmas present you’ve ever been given... Now imagine the spirit of that gift transformed into a holiday-themed British feature film.” – Guardian Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Adulthood (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “The package has a nasty little swagger that makes it a nice counterpoint to all the holiday cheer coming our way.” – Guardian Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “It’s a mise en abyme of despair.” – Guardian Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Odyssey (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “While Odyssey doesn’t coalesce as satisfyingly as Muscle did, that’s not Maberly’s fault. A character actor whose credits include a lot of schlock TV, she gets to be extraordinary here, playing a brittle, funny, completely deluded screw-up.” – Guardian Nov 5, 2025 Full Review In Waves and War (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Since few things are duller than watching someone else having an experience on drugs, the film opts to illustrate the trips with tasteful animation featuring images of our subjects spinning in space, surrounded by the memories that assault their senses.” – Guardian Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Coexistence, My Ass! (2025) 92% EDIT “A film left bereft, like Israel and Palestine themselves, with no easy conclusions or closure. Nevertheless, director Amber Fares succeeds in building a sympathetic portrait of bravery and character under pressure.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Chain Reactions (2024) 98% 3/5 EDIT “No one says anything truly groundbreaking, but the bricolage of movie clips (thank fair use copyright laws) is well edited and deepens one’s understanding of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and horror film-making more widely.” – Guardian Oct 22, 2025 Full Review The Secret of Me (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “The Secret of Me director Grace Hughes-Hallett has a slightly more tabloidy, heavy-handed style than that deployed by Cohen in Every Body, but the two films complement each other and serve this complicated, knotty subject well.” – Guardian Oct 14, 2025 Full Review
