Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It’s fascinating and historically accurate as far as anyone can tell: you feel you can see film history in the making. It’s Linklater’s labour of love. A must-see for all those interested in the cinema.” – Dog and Wolf Jan 27, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Foy does a superb job of capturing Helen’s emotional journey and clearly put in the work with the bird handling as she certainly convinces. She has a lot of material to sink her teeth into.” – Dog and Wolf Jan 20, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Like Vahid, Panahi is generous. His filmmaking concentrates on morality without showiness. ” – Dog and Wolf Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “The cinematography by Nick Morris is stunning and conveys both the restriction of BDSM and the freedom of biking on the open road. ” – Dog and Wolf Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Dragonfly (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “I don’t know if it’s really a horror film, though there’s a sense of menace, but it’s a must-see.” – Dog and Wolf Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Odyssey (2025) 93% 2/5 EDIT “Hopefully Odyssey is a satire. It’s put together like a cut and shut, when two halves of different, crash-damaged cars are welded together to create a whole car. ” – Dog and Wolf Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Now we know what it feels like to be inside the head, with its highs and lows, of a recovering addict in contemporary urban Britain.” – Dog and Wolf Oct 6, 2025 Full Review The Librarians (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The title makes these unassuming women seem like super-heroes, which the documentary shows they are. ” – Dog and Wolf Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Paul and Paulette Take a Bath (2024) 50% 3/5 EDIT “It seemed like a great idea but it didn’t work for me, even as an imaginative twist on the romcom. Not even a comic one. ” – Dog and Wolf Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Late Shift (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Late Shift is full of building tension as the shift wears on and you feel something awful is going to happen, partly due to the atmospheric music soundtrack...the everyday details of hospital nursing and the patients are really gripping, never boring.” – Dog and Wolf Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% EDIT “...[Sound of Falling is] an exhilarating experience, frustrating at times, but in the best, most challenging way. If Terence Davis and David Lynch made a movie together, it would look and sound like this. ” – Dog and Wolf May 14, 2025 Full Review Four Mothers (2024) 92% 3/5 EDIT “...a charming and funny, heart-warming, rather cosy Irish take on getting old and being gay...” – Dog and Wolf Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Misericordia is a strange mixture of sex, death and anti-religion...” – Dog and Wolf Mar 28, 2025 Full Review The Stimming Pool (2024) 3/5 EDIT “[The Stimming Pool] gives an unusual insight into what it means to be neurodivergent and the special edge it gives to creativity.” – Dog and Wolf Mar 28, 2025 Full Review When Fall Is Coming (2024) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The film has all the teasing and overturning of expectations that you have come to expect from Ozon, together with an element of gayness.” – Dog and Wolf Mar 24, 2025 Full Review On Falling (2024) 96% 4/5 EDIT “[On Falling is] full of subtle details – reading them gives a picture of a kind of life in Britain today, and what it’s like for someone trying hard, failing and falling through the cracks.” – Dog and Wolf Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Message (2025) 89% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a strange film, somehow compelling in its mystery. ” – Dog and Wolf Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Paternal Leave (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Paternal Leave is an emotional coming of age film made more intense by the excellent acting of Juli Grabenhenrich as a determined, also adrift, 15-year-old trying to find her own path.” – Dog and Wolf Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% 4/5 EDIT “...an incredible performance by Angelina Jolie as the iconic Maria Callas.” – Dog and Wolf Jan 15, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4/5 EDIT “...a non-showy, well-written and well-acted biopic that avoids standard biopic tropes.” – Dog and Wolf Jan 15, 2025 Full Review From Ground Zero (2024) 98% 3/5 EDIT “It’s almost too much to bear, though somewhat sanitised and personalised from what you see in news reports. ” – Dog and Wolf Jan 10, 2025 Full Review The Universal Theory (2023) 71% 3/5 EDIT “It’s amazing, absorbing, dreamlike, much too long, cleverly done and it enjoys the journey rather than the destination.” – Dog and Wolf Jan 10, 2025 Full Review La Luna (2023) 4/5 EDIT “Billed as a comedy, this is questionable, as the film’s underlying very serious themes are the battle between Muslim tradition and modern society, domestic violence, attitudes to women and women’s independence. ” – Dog and Wolf Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Under the Volcano (2024) 4/5 EDIT “A day trip to a volcano is a potent symbol.” – Dog and Wolf Jan 10, 2025 Full Review The Taste of Mango (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It may be slight in length but it packs a powerful punch for freedom for women worldwide. ” – Dog and Wolf Jan 10, 2025 Full Review
