H Is for Hawk (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “A birdie biopic that’s too keen to avoid ruffling feathers, Lowthorpe’s film still boasts two brilliant lead performances — a magnificent Foy and an even more majestic Mabel.” – Empire Magazine Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Paying fitting tribute to a photography legend, this slice-of-life film is a delectable treat, with among the best marriages of the ordinary and the transcendent since Perfect Days. ” – Empire Magazine Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Memories of a Burning Body (2024) 100% EDIT “The film is a celebration of its subjects and a homage to the freedom of old age. It’s a mesmeric trip down memory lane that’s well worth taking.” – Sight & Sound Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Steve (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Making full use of Cillian Murphy’s emotional range, Steve is a rallying, railing portrayal of a broken education system — and contemporary cinema’s worthy answer to Dead Poets Society.” – Empire Magazine Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Less a black comedy than an indispensable reinvention of the so-called trauma plot, this grounded post-MeToo story is navigated with a light sprinkling of humour and the utmost grace.” – Empire Magazine Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Lollipop (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A rousing, emotional wrecking ball in the very best way possible, boasting star-making turns across the board and a story that is guaranteed to stay with you.” – Empire Magazine Jun 17, 2025 Full Review I Only Rest in the Storm (2025) 79% A- EDIT “Overall, the big swings this wending odyssey takes in merging genres and weighty ideas do pay off -- it’s a gargantuan, continent-crossing feat.” – IndieWire May 18, 2025 Full Review Last Swim (2024) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A moving story that manages to steer clear of the usual hammed-up adolescent angst. The result is a quietly powerful refresh of the coming-of-age genre.” – Empire Magazine Apr 9, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Not quite a showstopper, but this reflection on womanhood boasts noteworthy performances across the board, especially from Pamela Anderson and a surprisingly tender Dave Bautista.” – Empire Magazine Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “A refreshing new spin on the franchise, with a newfound earnestness and genuinely moving story about grief.” – IGN Movies Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Crime Is Mine (2023) 98% 4/5 EDIT “François Ozon’s fanfic for the Jazz Age steers clear of pastiche and is utterly charming — throwing a few curveballs to keep you on your toes.” – Empire Magazine Oct 29, 2024 Full Review The Trouble with Jessica (2023) 60% EDIT “It’s disarmingly strange and freewheeling in tone, undercut by a ruthlessly dark humour.” – Sight & Sound May 8, 2024 Full Review
