Reminders of Him (2026) 55% 4/5 EDIT “[Grounded] by Monroe, deftly pitched by director Vanessa Caswill (from Hoover’s script) and rendered lovingly cinematic by DOP Tim Ives, REMINDERS OF HIM is a top-tier tearjerker.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Charli, in a winning star-turn as a version of herself, fearlessly parodies her own image and integrity as savagely as she does everything else that continues to linger from the Bratosphere.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% 3/5 EDIT “When handed over to forces-of-nature Weaving and Newton to do the sisterhood slaying, the sequel is a bloody blast; without them, it plays ugly, gratuitous and a lot less fun.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Howling (1981) 76% EDIT “The Howling is a testament to Dante's enthusiasm, firm grasp and obvious love for his craft. It stands as both a loving homage to the monster-pulp of Dante’s youth and as a thoroughly modern, multi-layered and terrifying horror film.” – sbs.com.au Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “With it’s grainy aesthetic and shaky-cam reliance, it looks and feels like an early-80s ‘video nasty’, writ large. ” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 79% 2.5/5 EDIT “There’s something tonally awry with the execution; maybe Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville are too earnest, maybe Joe Keery isn’t quite the comic-foil everyman needed in the lead. ” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Per Aspera Ad Astra (2026) 4/5 EDIT “[A] crowning work of the Chinese film industry’s special effects sector; every new dreamworld is an intricately detailed masterpiece of someone’s imagination, and a wonder to behold.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 2/5 EDIT “PROJECT HAIL MARY colours in a vast effects canvas but offers little more than intellectual infantilism. With Astronaut Ken as our self-taught pilot, it may be the dumbest deep-space adventure ever made.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 1/5 EDIT “A maelstrom of movie memories and lavish visions, slamming into each other in search of a purpose.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Micro Budget (2024) 90% 3/5 EDIT “This ode to industry-outlier fame whores is a street-level version of AppleTV’s hit The Studio. A feel-bad satire aimed at the industry’s low-tier exploiters and the boardrooms that enable them.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “MVP is Courteney Cox, back as tart-mouthed reporter Gale Weathers, and Williamson films a good slashin’, but it seems naggingly reductive and strained.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 25, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Amanda Seyfried is a blazing torrent of faith-fuelled passion and biblical bluster, yet humanistically fragile.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Scare Out (2026) 1.5/5 EDIT “The once-great Zhang Yimou’s underbaked, over-edited pastiche of techno-thriller cliches [is] dull, often incomprehensible and, given the recent heightening of controversial population surveillance technology, a bit on the nose.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Blades of the Guardians (2026) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “A wildly entertaining wuxia spectacle that imbues its characters - heroes and villain alike - with humour, depth and chemistry.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “More relentlessly silly than side-splittingly funny, there are still enough inspired moments in this Downton Abbey/Upstairs Downstairs skewering to make fans of the genre happy.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Stewart’s bold aesthetics - jagged edits, kaleidoscopic soundscapes and avant-garde framing - combine to depict a fractured personality in various stages of decline and rebuild.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Hermit (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The Hermit legitimately surprises with an icky final act reveal (and deftly-used needle-drop) that elevates the material.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Layton’s films are bathed in mood and menace, notably his brilliant 2012 debut THE IMPOSTER, but he usually has a stronger grip on logic and pacing, which aren’t as assured here.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “[There] are moments of guilty pleasure - as Isabella, Cathy’s live-in sycophant-turned-Heathcliff’s dog-collared submissive, Alison Oliver is great - but it falls short of the potential held in the pairing of Fennell and the source material.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Cooper...does good work here, capturing a ground-level naturalism and authenticity in his characters and setting that proves insightful and winning.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “The photo-realistic grandeur of Hosoda’s bleak landscapes and ravishing renderings of his heroine are breathtaking.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “Its heartbeat is the bond shared between the terrific Breathnatch...and an ageing Statham, whose face of twisted scar tissue, deeply-cratered forehead and cavernous worry-lines makes him as ‘human’ as he’s ever been on-screen.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Imagine (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a wild, wonderful, often abstract ride...sometimes more aesthetically in line with an art gallery installation.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Worldbreaker (2025) 41% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Brad Anderson is less interested in overstating the creature feature tropes of his premise and more at ease with the family dynamic.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “So much of Sam Raimi’s first film in four years is such a funny, fierce gender arm-wrestle that when it starts to derail in the final act, audience goodwill all but drags it over the finish line.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review
