Sad Girlz (2026) EDIT “A sensitive and knowing study of female teenage friendship, powered by strong performances from its young leads.” – Screen International Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 93% EDIT “Propulsive and entertaining, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man has plenty to keep fans happy and a wider audience engaged.” – Screen International Mar 5, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “This is big-swing filmmaking, and it largely works. Working with production designer Karen Murphy, writer/director Gyllenhaal has created a vivid steampunk period universe which bends to the will of her storytelling.” – Screen International Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Iván & Hadoum (2026) EDIT “This low-key, accomplished feature debut from Spanish television director Ian de la Rosa follows a familiar star-crossed lovers narrative, but draws in potent contemporary issues of culture, identity and class.” – Screen International Feb 26, 2026 Full Review A Child of My Own (2026) EDIT “Thanks to Alberdi’s sensitive handling of this story, Alejandra remains a sympathetic figure, even as her story begins to flicker and shift.” – Screen International Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Nightborn (2026) 70% EDIT “Finnish director Hanna Bergholm’s audacious second feature is likely to be divisive, but those who connect with its themes and rhythms will find a great deal to enjoy.” – Screen International Feb 17, 2026 Full Review A Prayer for the Dying (2026) EDIT “A Prayer For The Dying has a potent sense of time and place.” – Screen International Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Yellow Letters (2026) 80% EDIT “The film’s strength lies in its refusal to reduce its narrative to a simple case of moral blacks and whites. ” – Screen International Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Sunny Dancer (2026) EDIT “While it sometimes loses itself to flights of melodramatic adolescent fantasy, it confidently wraps its heavy themes in a peppy, accessible package. ” – Screen International Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Silenced (2026) 100% EDIT “Silenced proves an essential, galvanising watch and deserves to find an audience.” – Screen International Feb 4, 2026 Full Review To Hold a Mountain (2026) 100% EDIT “Wider themes of endangered tradition, generational tension and cultural displacement are brought into sharp focus through quiet, respectful and keenly-edited observation. ” – Screen International Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% EDIT “Heavy on action, light on plot, Shelter is no more or less than you would expect from a Jason Statham movie -- and that is enough to make this an entertaining crowd-pleaser.” – Screen International Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Frank & Louis (2026) 92% EDIT “Ben-[Adir] and Morgan give balanced, sympathetic performances as Frank and Louis, hinting at the hidden depths and fragile vulnerabilities that lurk below hard-bitten surfaces.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 77% EDIT “Exceptional sound design and a superb central performance from... Nina Kiri, who is almost entirely alone on screen, mean the film casts a compelling spell, even when the narrative begins to succumb to genre cliché in its final reels.” – Screen International Jan 25, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Working from Alex Garland’s screenplay, DaCosta and team deliver a visceral horror that both works on its own terms and satisfyingly evolves the ideas of a franchise which began in 2002.” – Screen International Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Becoming Victoria Wood (2026) EDIT “While it is clearly made by fans, for fans -- it proves a timely reminder of Wood’s phenomenal talent, and a tribute to the doors she opened and the influence she continues to have.” – Screen International Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% EDIT “As was the case with the source material, however, glamorous visuals and a kitschy vibe aren’t enough to paper over a threadbare plot, thinly drawn characters, obvious dramatic beats and an ill-advised central conceit.” – Screen International Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “Superb performances from a stellar, experienced cast -- confidently shepherded by debut director/star Kate Winslet -- hit authentic, relatable notes, and save the film from sinking entirely into melodrama.” – Screen International Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Silent Rebellion (2025) EDIT “This beautifully shot, low-key French-language drama revolves around Gueneau’s restrained, emotionally intelligent performance, which takes an introspective, lyrical approach to a sadly familiar story.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review A Quiet Love (2025) EDIT “In allowing its subjects to tell their own stories entirely in their own words -- all communicate through Irish Sign Language (ISL) -- the film effectively spotlights a community not often given space on screen.” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Legend Of The Happy Worker (2025) EDIT “It’s a film full of noble ideas, but Happy Worker is too thinly drawn to make them with much impact. Its Lynchian elements prove distractions rather than endearing narrative quirks. ” – Screen International Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 49% EDIT “Take away all that window dressing, however, and the film loses much of its power, its narrative a well-trodden story of a toxic heterosexual relationship... the film another example of female victimhood and terror as entertainment.” – Screen International Nov 13, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “This Running Man could have been a powerful anarchist fable for our turbulent times but fun as it is, it runs out of steam before making any lasting impact.” – Screen International Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Belén (2025) 95% EDIT “While the film makes an unavoidable political statement, it never becomes a mere polemic. It is ultimately a heartfelt, inspiring story about ordinary people who choose to stand up and make a change.” – Screen International Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Kenny Dalglish (2025) 100% EDIT “Instinctive, immersive editing from Matteo Bini moves it along apace, and a rousing score by Antonio Pinto helps mark out the dramatic highs and lows of this compelling sporting life.” – Screen International Oct 22, 2025 Full Review
