4/5
Never After Dark (2026) Jennie Kermode With a cleverly signposted plot twist which ratchets up the tension towards the end, the film makes room for one or two j-horror tropes which should please the home audience, but doesn’t rely on them.

3.5/5
Edie Arnold Is a Loser (2026) Jennie Kermode The plot here isn’t particularly sophisticated, but there are some great moments, and the filmmakers find clever ways to play with the form.

3.5/5
Kill Me (2026) Jennie Kermode The story goes to some difficult places and is by no means all about laughs, but its comedic elements will likely appeal most strongly to those with lived experience.

3.5/5
A Pale View of Hills (2025) Jennie Kermode All of this fine work has potential, but too often the deeper ideas in the book are teased only to be abandoned."

First Light (2025) Jennie Kermode A thoughtful and lyrical film unafraid to do things differently.

Psalms of the People (2026) Jennie Kermode It’s in the moment, in the process, in the commingling of voices that something divine is found.

5/5
Effi o Blaenau (2026) Jennie Kermode Such is the force in Gwenllian’s performance that it would be almost impossible not to root for her.

4/5
Turner & Constable (2026) Jennie Kermode At one point there’s a a clever shot where the camera eases back and moves between rooms, bringing out the three-dimensionality of the paintings in the process.

4/5
In the Land of Lost Angels (2018) Jennie Kermode The story is simple. Mashbat’s approach to it is much more sophisticated.

3.5/5
Red Riding (2026) Jennie Kermode A first stab at directing for actor Craig Conway, Red Riding scores high on atmosphere and is grounded by a strong central performance.

2.5/5
The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) Jennie Kermode Dano has chosen to use the same flat vocal expression throughout, a technique well suited to satire which might have worked if only the rest of the film had been a bit more lively.

4/5
Unidentified (2025) Jennie Kermode This is a film with a deep interest in women’s lives, in the effects of continued inequality, and in the various means that women use to exercise agency despite this.

The Dutchman (2025) Jennie Kermode There’s a lot of very good work in The Dutchman.

OBEX (2025) Jennie Kermode If you’re looking for a witty and heartfelt story with characters you can care about, you may find yourself falling head over heels.

Filipiñana (2026) Amber Wilkinson Sociopolitics spritzes delicately, like the water from the club's sprinklers, over the whole affair.

Babystar (2025) Jennie Kermode With a past working for a management company used by YouTube stars, Bongard knows his subject matter well.

5/5
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Jennie Kermode The underlying formula is a simple one but the chaos around it is managed magnificently so that you can never be sure what will happen next.

4/5
Wolfram (2025) Amber Wilkinson Thornton demands a certain level of patience from the audience as the narratives mosey along, but his control of mood is a major asset.

3/5
Hot Water (2026) Amber Wilkinson It’s not that the journey is unpleasant but the stakes are very low and the lack of tension leads it to feel overstretched as a result.
Posted Feb 27, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Nuisance Bear  (2026) Amber Wilkinson By viewing the situation, at least initially, mostly from the perspective of the bears, the directors ask us to consider who exactly is trespassing on whose turf.

4/5
Trial of Hein (2026) Amber Wilkinson What gives Stänicke’s film the edge is the clever way he shifts the focus so that the narrative becomes less about the community than Hein himself.

3/5
The Mortuary Assistant (2026) Jennie Kermode Holland does an impressive job of keeping viewers on her side despite becoming an unreliable narrator.

4.5/5
The Baltimorons (2025) Jennie Kermode The connection that forms between them feels more real because it’s so unlikely. Duplass, co-writing with Strassner, has the skill to pull it off, and both lead actors are up to the task.

3.5/5
Eli Roth Presents: Jimmy and Stiggs (2024) Jennie Kermode The pace is so manic, the action so intense, that it’s easy to be fully immersed in Jimmy’s experience.

3.5/5
The Dreadful (2026) Jennie Kermode A character-focused drama in a setting usually reserved for adventure, The Dreadful finds elements of horror in the psychological landscape.

Splitsville (2025) Jennie Kermode It’s hard to care about a film when those involved don’t appear to have done so themselves.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Jennie Kermode The film feels obliged to explain itself, indulging the audience too much.

Frank & Louis (2026) Amber Wilkinson Prison dramas don’t come much more thoughtful, inquiring or humanistic

4.5/5
Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Jennie Kermode Despite the depressing nature of what’s happening at the school, Talankin’s affection for his students and his resilient sense of humour ensure that the film is always engaging.

100 Nights of Hero (2025) Jennie Kermode Where the film succeeds is in the visual design of its world.

Bowels of Hell (2026) Jennie Kermode The production values here are a cut above what one would normally expect for something with this theme and these characters.

White Man Walking (2025) Jennie Kermode Are there conversations that make a positive difference? Almost certainly – and the interesting thing is that some of them also prove challenging to Rob.

Noseeums (2025) Jennie Kermode Some of this is a bit heavy-handed, as the film attempts to communicate to a mixed audience, but the capable Burt keeps it feeling real.

Dracula (2025) Jennie Kermode Landry Jones is...expanding his range into a conventional space rather than delivering a refreshingly unconventional take.

2.5/5
Arco (2025) Jennie Kermode It’s the sort of sweet-natured fable that makes adults nostalgic for childhood, but both the near and far futures it presents are, to children themselves, already likely to seem out of date.

Hedda (2025) Jennie Kermode DaCosta has managed to create something which feels acutely contemporary and fresh.
