3/5
Footsteps in the Night (1931) David Parkinson Adept use is made of locations like London's Euston Station, helped by American editor Otto Ludwig's clipped cross-cutting.

3/5
The Absence of Eden (2023) Terry Staunton First-time director and co-writer Marco Perego—Saldaña's real-life husband—pivots back and forth between political thriller and morality tale without ever settling on a tone to give the narrative much-needed clarity.

3/5
Dateline: Diamonds (1965) Terry Staunton Cope is good value as the low-rent mogul out of his depth and Lucas makes a suitably seedy villain.

3/5
Whispering Smith Hits London (1952) David Parkinson Carlson is too affable to be hard-boiled, but he sparks with the breezy Rona Anderson (as Smith's secretary), while Lom, Gynt and the reliable Wheatley make a splendidly slippery set of suspects.

1/5
Waltzes From Vienna (1934) Robyn Karney This tedious period drama, laced with the Waltz King's music, was an unsuitable and uncharacteristic assignment for Alfred Hitchcock and is completely devoid of even his earliest signature trademarks.

3/5
Night at the Crossroads (1932) David Parkinson Anticipating the look and feel of film noir, this is not just a compelling whodunnit, but also a superbly observed portrait of an isolated community.

2/5
The Gay Diplomat (1931) David Parkinson By overcompensating, they occasionally make this feel more like a parody than a thriller.

2/5
Hindle Wakes (1952) David Parkinson Daniely and Leslie Dwyer give it their best shot, but it's hard work all round.

Peg of Old Drury (1935) David Parkinson Boasting fine production values and lustrous Freddie Young photography, this is handsomely entertaining.

Abode (2025) David Parkinson This is an empathetic and consistent collection that's beautifully played by a splendid ensemble.

3/5
The Sheep Detectives (2026) Emma Simmonds Ultimately it generates plenty of fun for the whole flock, and the more it leans into its madness the more it succeeds.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) Steve Morrissey The appeal to anyone aged over eight is questionable but the target demographic should be more than satisfied, while parents might find themselves humming to the odd song or admiring the candy-coloured animation.

2/5
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Jayne Nelson From a flooded Liverpool to a French warzone, the family lurches from one calamity to another, all played out with deathly seriousness. Unfortunately, that approach just highlights how silly the premise is.

4/5
Romería (2025) Emma Simmonds Unfolding in an idyllic location and beautifully shot, Romería takes a ravishing look at tumultuous times.

4/5
Hokum (2026) Jeremy Aspinall Scott shines as a not especially likeable character, whose hellish descent into the unknown nevertheless remains utterly compelling.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Swapped (2026) Rosie Fletcher Suitable for youngsters, with a strong environmental message, this should be a hit with kids, and Temple and Jordan have good chemistry. Sweet and gentle summer fun.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Fuze (2025) Kevin Harley Taken as a portrait of macho honour and professionalism under high-stakes pressure, Fuze gets the job done with brisk efficiency.

3/5
Mother Mary (2026) Chezelle Bingham Hathaway and Coel are magnificent in a film that so relies on their chemistry, with most of the 112 minutes playing out in a countryside barn-turned-studio.

3/5
Primavera (2025) David Parkinson Yet, besides a moment of spiteful cruelty, the storyline is as entirely foreseeable as the music is redeemingly sublime.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Michael (2026) Terry Staunton This syrupy biopic becomes a test of endurance – packed with over-simplified plot points and mawkish, underwritten scenes.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Apex (2026) Jayne Nelson Baltasar Kormákur (Beast) directs the set pieces with a steady hand; Theron's vertiginous cliff-climbs are so well-handled you'll be gnawing your fingernails.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) James Mottram Sadly, the nautical nonsense never quite knits together and the excellent voice cast is left to soak up a damp squib of a story.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
There's Still Tomorrow (2023) David Parkinson Cortellesi's affectionate work channels classic performances by Anna Magnani and Sophia Loren while tethering the action to the present day and reminding viewers that misogyny is still a major problem in modern-day Italy.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Reagan (2024) Dave Golder The result is a film that looks and feels like a parody, becoming at times so absurd it's almost fun.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Animal Farm (2025) Dave Golder However, if you can pretend you have never heard of Animal Farm before, it's a decent enough kids' film with great voice performances.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Rebuilding (2025) Patrick Cremona Alfonso Herrera Salcedo's gorgeous cinematography and an Americana-tinged guitar score from Jake Xerxes Fussell and James Elkington give the piece a finely tuned western-movie sensibility.

2/5
Mortal Kombat II (2026) James Mottram For the most part returning director Simon McQuoid does little to turn this into anything but a serviceable follow-up to a film that feels outdated and outdone by much better recent video game adaptations.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) James Mottram With a sharp script penned by Aline Brosh McKenna, who also wrote the original movie, TDWP2 does what all good sequels should do, and goes bigger and bolder.

3/5
Sometimes They Come Back... for More (1998) Alan Jones Berk uses the locations with considerable visual flair and, although it does peter out as it wends its way to a hokey conclusion, the journey offers numerous rewards and surprises.

Sometimes They Come Back... Again (1996) Radio Times Staff Sometimes They Come Back ... Again is slickly produced, but after a while you begin to wonder why all this supernatural stuff keeps happening in this particular town.

4/5
Power to the People: John & Yoko Live in NYC (2026) Terry Staunton It's a visual treat, often employing split-screen effects that give viewers a more intimate sense of proceedings, and the man of the hour, alongside Yoko Ono and backed by the New York-based band Elephant's Memory, is effortlessly charismatic throughout.
Posted Apr 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
undertone (2025) Terry Staunton This particular Undertone is ultimately, frustratingly, under-cooked and underwhelming.

3/5
The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) Patrick Cremona However, there's more than enough whimsical appeal to charm younger audiences, and a parade of famous faces from the British comedy scene provide an abundance of amusing moments.

3/5
The Drama (2026) Max Copeman By the time a killer final scene rolls around, The Drama is somewhat limping over the line, but its leads lend a crucial heartbeat to a film frustratingly engineered for discourse, not depth.

3/5
Couture (2025) Terry Staunton Although all three leads acquit themselves well, only Jolie's character has a well-defined, substantive arc.

Only Rebels Win (2026) James Mottram With Abbass offering a subtle turn and newcomer Benrachid more than a match, this is a mature, sensitive look at the way love can strike, even under the most difficult circumstances.

4/5
Rose (2026) James Mottram Unhurried pacing, first-rate performances and moody cinematography combine to create a resonant study of a woman's journey through a man's world.

Mouse (2026) James Mottram Featuring a potent turn from Frasier star David Hyde Pierce as the school's theatre teacher, this is a thoughtful, classy drama.

You, Me & Tuscany (2026) James Mottram A sun-kissed charmer, best seen with a Spritz in hand.

Miroirs No. 3 (2025) Tom Dawson Drawing on elements of fairy tales and doppelganger stories, alongside visual markers of rural Americana, Mirrors No. 3 combines a dreamlike sensibility with carefully understated performances.

2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025) David Parkinson Highlighting the humbling ordinariness of the combatants and their poignant camaraderie, Chernov refuses to spare us when it comes to casualties. Despair creeps into his voiceover, but weariness can't sap the zeal of the volunteers...

3/5
La venue de l'avenir (2025) Terry Staunton Klapisch occasionally plays fast and loose with historical accuracy to better serve his intentions, but that can be forgiven in the face of a strong and gifted ensemble cast.

2/5
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Chezelle Bingham Tonally, it is uneven, too, often attempting to mix humour with horror, but settling on neither, and the problem is further complicated by some shaky performances.
Posted Apr 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Glenrothan (2025) Patrick Cremona Combined with an overegged score and unconvincing dialogue, it adds up to a plodding drama where virtually every choice is the most basic one.

4/5
Holy Cow (2024) Dave Golder With bawdy humour, gorgeous scenery, deadpan performances, adolescent cheek, fumbling sex and a far-too-detailed calf's breech birth sequence, this is a compelling debut feature from director Louise Courvoisier.

3/5
Departures (2025) Kevin Harley With persuasive turns from Eyre-Morgan and Tag, and an amusingly brash cameo from Lorraine Stanley as Benji's zero-filters mum, Departures ensures you care about its characters in all their flaws.

2/5
Balls Up (2026) Calum Baker Scripted by the writers of Deadpool, this has a fatally misshapen, ultimately unengaging plot that pinballs the pair from the boardroom to unemployment to the World Cup final and to jail, with the film's second half taking place in the rainforest.

4/5
Blades of the Guardians (2026) Sean McGeady Highlights include a duel staged in a sandstorm raging with such velocity that its combatants can't stay on their feet. Even at 80, Yuen remains untouchable.

3/5
Leaves From Satan's Book (1921) David Parkinson The finale is easily the most accomplished sequence cinematically, with Clara Pontoppidan's death being a moving montage of meticulously matched close-ups.
