Wild London (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Wild London is a crowd-pleaser through and through, but the real treat is seeing Attenborough on camera as a presenter once again.” – Financial Times Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Accidental Tourist (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The show presents itself as less serious than it is. Ant and Dec take delight in watching a rattled man as he marvels at a culture entirely unfamiliar to him. But Accidental Tourist is more emotionally astute than that. ” – Financial Times Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Breakdown: 1975 (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “...it is a neatly packaged and entertaining reminder of greatness and leaves the viewer with a handy list of films to rewatch over the festive period. ” – Financial Times Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember (2025) 4/5 EDIT “This is a special and lovely film.” – Financial Times Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Unforgivable (2025) 3/5 EDIT “While the performances are outstanding all round — Friel, in particular, is brilliantly brittle and fierce — there is a sense that it doesn't quite deliver what it needs to.” – Financial Times Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Grenfell: Uncovered (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The film is upsetting and harrowing throughout, but it is driven by a clear sense of a need for justice, and an acknowledgment of the lack of justice to date. ” – Financial Times Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Michael Sheen’s Secret Million Pound Giveaway (2025) 60% 4/5 EDIT “Sheen’s documentary provides a decent, moving and clear explanation of the injustice. It also shows that action is powerful, as is his pure belief that the system can be changed.” – Guardian Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Gaucho Gaucho (2024) 95% 4/5 EDIT “It is almost comically arthouse. It is black and white, theatrical and cinematic. It is visually and audibly astonishing. You don’t so much watch it as immerse yourself in it. It is abstract, but gripping. ” – Guardian Feb 19, 2025 Full Review A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The comedy is fine, the duets are fun, but it is the Carpenter charisma that keeps it all flowing nicely. ” – Guardian Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Peter Doherty: Stranger in My Own Skin (2023) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Clearly, this is one for fans, and what it gains in intimacy, it loses in objectivity and perspective.” – Guardian Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas (2023) 100% 3/5 EDIT “This is very gentle, very showbiz, very glittering. The jokes are warm, not hot, but everyone laughs heartily, buoyed by the high spirits around them.” – Guardian Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Finding Michael (2023) 67% 4/5 EDIT “It is a revealing look at grief – especially the grief felt by those left behind when a person dies so young.” – Guardian Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Casa Susanna (2022) 86% 4/5 EDIT “These are human tales of strengths and weaknesses, triumphs and flaws, and they are handled by director Sébastien Lifshitz with great care and sensitivity.” – Guardian Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Three Minutes - A Lengthening (2021) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It is aware of its limitations and is all the more powerful for it.” – Guardian Jan 25, 2023 Full Review David Baddiel: Jews Don't Count (2022) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It is a sign of a solid documentary, I think, that every time a question came into my head, Baddiel was either asking it, or setting about answering it, as if I had said it out loud.” – Guardian Nov 22, 2022 Full Review Halftime (2022) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The film is as slick and flattering as you might expect, but it is also honest and revealing, at least on the surface – though perhaps it gives away more than she intended.” – Guardian Jun 14, 2022 Full Review The Tinder Swindler (2022) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The Tinder Swindler is snappy and smart and leaves you wanting more, rather than scraping the barrel for every possible angle.” – Guardian Feb 2, 2022 Full Review Reclaiming Amy (2021) 92% 4/5 EDIT “A short, sad, sweet film that sees her family and friends give their side of the singer's complicated story.” – Guardian Jul 27, 2021 Full Review Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and Legendary Tapes (2020) 91% 4/5 EDIT “This is a wonderfully inventive piece of storytelling that celebrates the strange brilliance of a mysterious pioneer of electronic music.” – Guardian May 17, 2021 Full Review Welcome to Chechnya (2020) 100% 5/5 EDIT “David France has made a difficult, distressing and often tremendously bleak film about the torture and murder of LGBT people in Chechnya, and the brave efforts of community activists and organisers to "extract" them from the region.” – Guardian Dec 30, 2020 Full Review The Mystery of D.B. Cooper (2020) 91% 4/5 EDIT “These brilliant characters, some deeply entangled in the story, some distant from it but connected, are believers. This film asks what keeps them believing, and it is a far bigger question than the mystery itself.” – Guardian Nov 24, 2020 Full Review The Promised Land (1959) 3/5 EDIT “The Promised Land is not Red Dwarf in its prime. You get the impression that everyone involved knows it, but is trying to enjoy themselves, regardless.” – Guardian Apr 10, 2020 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “There may not be much beneath the surface, but this is a warm and gentle programme about the tenacity of people who have had to seek what they want from life.” – Guardian Jun 10, 2019 Full Review My Gay Dog and Other Animals (2019) 2/5 EDIT “Half brazen and half shy, never quite giving us enough of anything, bar dog-on-dog action.” – Guardian Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Climate Change - The Facts (2019) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Climate Change: The Facts should not have to change minds, but perhaps it will change them anyway, or at least make this seem as pressing as it needs to be.” – Guardian Apr 19, 2019 Full Review
