Wrong Husband (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “The young couple at the centre of the tale are engaging, struggles and sufferings endured are suspenseful and touching, the efforts to escape are imaginative and charming, and the outcome is a nicely written happily ever after.” – Far Out Magazine Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “The film, with its understated, nuanced dialogue and implied meanings, is held together by the excellent, carefully chosen cast.” – Far Out Magazine Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Josh O’Connor is perfect in the lead role.” – Far Out Magazine Dec 12, 2025 Full Review How Deep is Your Love (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “This remarkable documentary manages to both inform and inspire. ” – Far Out Magazine Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Slanted (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “The script unfortunately loses focus and clarity during the less amusing and more gruesome final act, although not enough to spoil the overall production. ” – Far Out Magazine Dec 3, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “The satire is extreme but effective, never too grim to not be funny, and never quite absurd enough to fail in hitting its target.” – Far Out Magazine Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Dead Giveaway (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “The film ultimately becomes a genuine, if preposterous, murder mystery, leading to a conclusion that makes sense according to the leads’ ridiculous worldview, and the result is good fun overall.” – Far Out Magazine Dec 2, 2025 Full Review La venue de l'avenir (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Adele’s lack of experience allows us to see familiar art forms and social movements with fresh eyes, from the perspective of someone for whom they are completely new. ” – Far Out Magazine Nov 22, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Rarely have the challenges of maternity been presented in such an uncompromising and unsentimental way, as represented by a character who is imperfect, but always relatable, sometimes disturbingly so. ” – Far Out Magazine Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Peak Everything (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “Patrick Hivon is consistently funny and relatable as the inept and put-upon Adam.” – Far Out Magazine Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Stranger Eyes (2024) 82% 2.5/5 EDIT “It works as a psychological drama and character study, thanks to the careful direction of an able cast and the credible human weaknesses they reveal.” – Far Out Magazine Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Cramps: A Period Piece (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Despite the logical and consistent storyline, The Cramps is almost certainly the weirdest film you will encounter this year.” – Far Out Magazine Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Ireke: Rise of the Maroons (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The production’s strong point is the drama and pathos drawn from even the more clumsy scenes, and most of all, the presentation of the Maroons themselves, which is cleverly handled.” – Far Out Magazine Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Star People (2025) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “This unusual journey from sci-fi adventure to intense character study is a challenging but beautifully managed piece of work.” – Far Out Magazine Jul 29, 2025 Full Review All About the Levkoviches (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “The film is successful partly because every character, regardless of background or personality, is made entirely relatable.” – Far Out Magazine Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) 82% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a light but often thoughtful and touching film that eventually leans into romance, while avoiding the usual sentimental clichés.” – Far Out Magazine May 21, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Whether as high-energy space drama, ludicrous comedy of errors, or reflection on humanity, this strange and complicated story was put in the right hands. ” – Far Out Magazine Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “Rankin’s efforts are held back somewhat by the often confusing and obscure content, but the quirky comedy and the movingly expressed theme overcome its cryptic storyline.” – Far Out Magazine Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Suze (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The two lead actors have wonderful chemistry, making their very different personalities and outlooks bounce off each other in a lively and funny first act.” – Far Out Magazine Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Paying attention to character development, even when the characters are personified balls of blue fur, has paid off for this sequel.” – Far Out Magazine Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Unrestrained creativity and genuine enthusiasm for the subject have made this otherwise straightforward account a compelling and moving tribute to a resilient culture and people.” – Far Out Magazine Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Do I Know You from Somewhere? (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “Do I Know You From Somewhere? is an impressive start for novice filmmaker Martinez and is a well-made, weird, but entertaining multifaceted drama.” – Far Out Magazine Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Can I Get a Witness?
