Adam's Apple (2026) Nikki Baughan As much as Adam’s Apple is a film about the specifics of identity, it’s also a study of the relentless marching of time -- and a reminder to make as much of it as we can with the people we love.

Wishful Thinking (2026) Robert Daniels With an inquisitiveness recalling Richard Linklater and a feeling of tragic wonder, writer/director Graham Parkes’s feature directorial debut is an assured, complex story about two people with a love so strong it could literally move mountains.

Closure (2026) Amber Wilkinson Marczak’s film becomes not just a document of a hunt but a psychological portrait of loss and a family’s attempts to come to terms with that.
Posted Mar 18, 2026  Edit critic review
The Fox (2026) Nikki Baughan There’s certainly potential for some dark comedy in this outlandish set-up, but writer/director Dario Russo’s decision to play it almost entirely straight dulls its claws.
Posted Mar 18, 2026  Edit critic review
The Peril at Pincer Point (2026) Nikki Baughan Pleasingly idiosyncratic and shot through with a very British surrealist sense of humour, The Peril At Pincer Point sails merrily along on a wave of modern absurdist comedy and a traditional black-and-white folkloric aesthetic.

DreamQuil (2026) Robert Daniels A harried psychological thriller, whose enthralling style is not enough to overcome its cliched storytelling.
Posted Mar 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Robert Daniels The barrage of dumb jokes delivered by an adept cast gives this gnarly horror comedy some real cult appeal
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Hokum (2026) Robert Daniels An engagingly frigid performance by [Adam] Scott furthers the film’s keen ability to conjure overwhelming anxiety from its many punchy jump scares, combining to make Hokum an exceptionally chilling horror film.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Robert Daniels A successfully brash and giddy action-comedy whose many endearing parts make for a remarkable whole.
Posted Mar 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Robert Daniels More bloody and gratuitously violent than the 2019 original, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come delivers short-term thrills in an emotionally hollow gore fest.
Posted Mar 14, 2026  Edit critic review
I Love Boosters (2026) Robert Daniels Not content with making a modest comedy about stylish shoplifters, Boots Riley’s imaginatively outlandish fast-fashion satire I Love Boosters continues the director’s penchant for maximalist social statements.
Posted Mar 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Reminders of Him (2026) Tim Grierson Although the two leads have a steamy rapport, their chemistry cannot overcome a predictable and shallow saga about grief and second chances.
Posted Mar 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Chronicles from the Siege (2026) Jonathan Romney The film offers an intense, dispassionate tapestry of life, death and the contrasting elements of courage and deep human imperfection -- but it also crackles, buoyantly and sometimes explicitly, with the affirmative energies of cinema.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
The Education of Jane Cumming (2026) Amber Wilkinson Largely playing out as a chamber piece, it is bolstered by a strong ensemble cast but remains structurally uneven and risks being too overly buttoned-up for its own good.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
The Loneliest Man in Town (2026) Lee Marshall There is charm and tenderness here in abundance, but this is nevertheless a film for patient audiences, one that drags a little in its second half before summoning a lyrical ending.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Sad Girlz (2026) Nikki Baughan A sensitive and knowing study of female teenage friendship, powered by strong performances from its young leads.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Flies (2026) Jonathan Romney Overall, the stylistic execution makes for a combination of austerity, warmth and dogged taciturnity that’s not unlike Olga herself.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Soumsoum, The Night of the Stars (2026) Wendy Ide A strikingly cinematic and visually rich work, which cries out to be seen on the biggest screen available.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Yo (Love is a Rebellious Bird) (2026) Lee Marshall This refreshingly quirky number has heart and charm in abundance.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Project Hail Mary (2026) Tim Grierson The tonal balance between life-and-death stakes and buddy-comedy bonding is sometimes wobbly, but Ryan Gosling gives an open-hearted performance as our planet’s unlikely saviour.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Sentient (2026) Amber Wilkinson Like 2013 Bafta-nominated captive killer whale documentary Blackfish, it lays out a complex and thorough argument that is likely to fuel debate.
Posted Mar 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Psalms of the People (2026) Allan Hunter Jack Archer’s lyrical observational documentary Psalms Of The People captures the infectious enthusiasm of a man on a mission, as MacNeacail travels across picturesque visions of rural communities in Scotland and Ireland.
Posted Mar 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Nikki Baughan Propulsive and entertaining, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man has plenty to keep fans happy and a wider audience engaged.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
THE BRIDE! (2026) Nikki Baughan 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.
Posted Mar 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Hoppers (2026) Tim Grierson Sometimes the convoluted story forces its emotional beats, but Hoppers is a largely successful animation that introduces a refreshingly darker strain of humour alongside its paeans to the natural world.
Posted Mar 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Iván & Hadoum (2026) Nikki Baughan 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.
Posted Feb 26, 2026  Edit critic review
An American Pastoral (2024) Lee Marshall Hardly a second too long despite its almost two-hour running time, this urgent, absorbing documentary should be required viewing for those, inside or outside the United States, who are struggling to make sense of the recent presidential election.
Posted Feb 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Scream 7 (2026) Tim Grierson Despite the occasional cheeky moment and brutal slaying, a property that once satirised horror cliches has largely succumbed to them.
Posted Feb 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Wolfram (2025) Jonathan Romney Warwick Thornton delivers a film at once visually awe-inspiring and narratively under-fuelled. A quasi-sequel to his 2017 magisterial ‘outback Western’ Sweet Country­, it lacks that film’s taut narrative logic and sense of peril.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
A Child of My Own (2026) Nikki Baughan Thanks to Alberdi’s sensitive handling of this story, Alejandra remains a sympathetic figure, even as her story begins to flicker and shift.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Salvation (2026) Wendy Ide Despite the story’s repeated segues into dreams and fantasies, there’s a grim accumulation of momentum. Even so, the sheer brutality and savage finality of the film’s climax come as a shock.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Rosebush Pruning (2026) Jonathan Romney It’s also lusciously styled -- there are few directors as creative with colour as Aïnouz. But it’s a bloodless affair, its shock tactics utterly mechanical.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
We Are All Strangers (2026) Jonathan Romney This involving, if slightly over-extended, drama isn’t afraid to tug the heartstrings... But it is an intelligent film in a mode of Asian domestic drama thematically adjacent to such auteurs as Hirokazu Kore-eda and Edward Yang.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Rose (2026) Jonathan Romney On one level, it’s a manifesto for self-invention and for gender equality, with Rose as a sort of domestic Joan of Arc fighting the established order. It’s also a meticulously mounted historical study, and a starkly beautiful one.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Home Stories (2026) Wendy Ide It deftly passes the baton between members of an extended family as the focus of the story subtly shifts, and it’s a testament to the exceptional quality of Trobisch’s writing that the dynamics flow as effortlessly as they do.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Safe Exit (2026) Tim Grierson Occasionally, Safe Exit’s depiction of oppression and PTSD can feel mannered... But those shortcomings matter less as Hammad arrives at an affecting ending that underlines the cruelty of everyday life.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Trial of Hein (2026) Lee Marshall It’s this teasing and intriguing audience rapport, along with its sheer handsomeness, that should help Trial of Hein to arthouse engagements in multiple territories.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
The Red Hangar (2026) Jonathan Romney Scripted by Luis Emilio Guzmán, the film succinctly and with intense control conveys a sense of events happening in a nightmare rush in a world that has changed literally overnight.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
A New Dawn (2026) Elizabeth Kerr A New Dawn isn’t as outré in its storytelling as "Anzu" but its painterly, pastel-hued 2D animation and narrative economy could broaden its appeal.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
How to Make a Killing (2026) Tim Grierson Writer/director John Patton Ford’s second feature shares with his 2022 debut Emily The Criminal a sympathy for the world’s have-nots, but his follow-up’s cynicism never feels cutting and its twists never feel earned.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Heysel 85 (2026) Wendy Ide The bravura technical achievements of this richly textured, dynamically photographed period piece are not always matched by a screenplay that can, at times, feel a little laboured.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Allegro Pastell (2026) Jonathan Holland Low-key to the point of inertia, and peopled with characters whose range of concerns extends little further than themselves -- dramatic negatives that are partially redeemed by the sharpness of its social observations.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Filipiñana (2026) Lee Marshall A rich, densely cinematic film, it is a stunning assured debut from young Filipino filmmaker Rafael Manuel.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Nina Roza (2026) Jonathan Romney There's a lot at stake thematically -- both in terms of heritage and identity, and of more specific art-market questions. But the film's ruminative tone and self-consciously moody stylistics make for an overall solemnity that is hard to engage with.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Nightborn (2026) Nikki Baughan 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.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Queen at Sea (2026) Jonathan Romney More than holding its own alongside other prominent dramas about the ravages of age, Queen at Sea tackles its themes fearlessly, thanks to rigorous execution and a quartet of superb performances.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
At the Sea (2026) Lee Marshall Audiences need to trust Adams and the character she plays to pull them through a long, slow first-act build, lulled by the windswept grandeur of the Cape Cod setting. That trust will eventually be repaid.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Rose (2026) Wendy Ide The third film from Austrian director Markus Schleinzer is terrific. What initially seems like a gender-flipped riff on the story of Martin Guerre grows richer and more satisfying as it unfolds.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Dao (2026) Jonathan Romney Dao’s sheer capaciousness will either pull viewers in completely or deter them, but anyone willing to immerse themselves in its teasing drift between realism and experiment will find it a compelling proposition.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Rosebush Pruning (2026) Lee Marshall This spiky black comedy is smart, cool and occasionally funny, in a bleakly cynical way, but it’s also surprisingly dull for long periods.
