Rebuilding (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Rebuilding can have many meanings. Again, put like that it might seem trite, but director Max Walker-Silverman’s work is never less than gossamer subtle and starkly honest. O’Connor is terrific. LaTorre likewise. ” – Financial Times Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Glenrothan (2025) 17% 3/5 EDIT “For all the many tropes, there are clever curveballs in the sibling dynamic. And with Cox playing against type, the whole thing ends up a wry rebuke to the grim dynastic wrangling of Succession. ” – Financial Times Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Here the musical sequences are lavish but lifeless, even with Lopez at full tilt. It is hard to picture hating this Kiss of the Spider Woman — harder still to imagine being moved by it. ” – Financial Times Apr 16, 2026 Full Review The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) 50% 2/5 EDIT “The script is a clever synthesis, but to get the most from The Wizard of the Kremlin, you should ideally have first spent three decades in blissful ignorance.” – Financial Times Apr 16, 2026 Full Review The Stranger (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Ozon’s visual language is flawless.” – Financial Times Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Whatever the right time would be for an exhausting comedy, laden with therapy-speak, about the hardships of film stardom, the current point of global distress is probably not it.” – Financial Times Apr 9, 2026 Full Review California Schemin' (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is likeable, but spins a little wildly through its own mixed-up personas: fun-time caper; music biz cautionary tale; identity crisis psychodrama.” – Financial Times Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Honestly, there is something refreshing about the lack of melodrama. ” – Financial Times Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Kim Novak's Vertigo (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Built around interviews at Novak’s home on the wild Oregon coast, the flow of the movie has the loosey-goosey feel of actual conversation. What emerges most clearly is endurance. ” – Financial Times Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Much about what ensues is cheerfully hokey. ...But there is also a real joie de vivre to how Mackenzie and writer Ben Hopkins contrive twist after twist, making actors and genres collide as if playing with mismatched action figures.  ” – Financial Times Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% 2/5 EDIT “With giddy glee, Borgli is testing our discomfort with the taboo he drops into the heart of his film. Yet he also seems sure you will think The Drama (almost) as brilliant as he does. ” – Financial Times Apr 1, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 2/5 EDIT “The movie isn’t terrible. (It is also a long way from good.) Mostly, it is a headscratcher: pieces from different puzzles it was clearly hoped would simply, seamlessly fit together. Spoiler alert: they don’t.” – Financial Times Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Director Mascha Schilinski’s jagged, heady film is a dark collage of girlhood through time, most clearly held together by a setting in the same farmhouse in Altmark, north-east Germany.” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 58% 4/5 EDIT “If it sounds like 15 movies at once, that is how it plays. Both cranked very high indeed, Buckley and Bale seem to be sharing a private game of anything-you-can-do.” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Nuance is not the film’s game. But there is also real conviction to the blur of wartime history, family melodrama, raw Shakespearean heft and mystical woo-woo. ” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is invested with care and energy, sprinkled with gags and neat flights of fancy. ” – Financial Times Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Sirāt makes a ticklish presence in Oscar conversations: it has the flavour of a cult film, a grimy gatecrasher among the tuxedos. And yet this isn’t the trippy sprawl of another generation’s midnight movie. ” – Financial Times Feb 26, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “A lot here works. Seyfried is great. Neither the mystery of faith nor the cost it can have are downplayed.” – Financial Times Feb 26, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Under the sober political drama, then, we find a loopy cult movie. Under that, though, is a film that is both outlandish and deadly serious, about real-life sharks and devils, and the way dictators bring the worst kind of anarchy. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “You could call the film a comedy about motherhood. I have certainly never seen a funnier scene involving a hamster. It also feels like a nightmare. At all points, though, the vibe is unnerving. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is too long, and headbangingly unsubtle, though it doesn’t always feel like a chore. It is, however, still more curious than it sounds. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The Moment is thus a spoof with a bad dream edge, a jangly in-joke. For it to make sense, you will need a basic conversance with the success of Brat...” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The sheer scale of the Presley charisma is still Imax ridiculous. But you also see the precision skill with which a great bandleader worked the crowd and his musicians.” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% 4/5 EDIT “At times, the mood is almost larky. (Lamia travels with her cockerel, Hindi, a star.). But the small, grave face of Nayyef — who has never acted before, and gives a great performance — provides the soul of the film. ” – Financial Times Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Marbles (2025) 4/5 EDIT “At the heart of this intelligent film, then, is a grave historical wrong — and a deep vein of nuance.” – Financial Times Feb 10, 2026 Full Review
