4/5
Hokum (2026) Kevin Maher The casting is key, Scott’s sardonic persona consistently elevating the drama and making Bauman’s journey of discovery hard-won.

I've Seen All I Need to See (2025) Kevin Maher Images, plodding voiceover, truly terrible acting. And then there’s a bench, a sunset, a pool. The end.

Power to the People: John & Yoko Live in NYC (2026) Kevin Maher It’s an exquisite portrait of a musical genius at work.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Kevin Maher It helps too, of course, that Streep has a handy foil in Hathaway, who once again injects Andy with just the right hint of perky naivety to maintain her status as the clueless straight woman to her co-star’s scheming diva.

3/5
Queen Elizabeth II: Her Story, Our Century (2026) Carol Midgley The Netflix drama The Crown, charting the life of our longest reigning monarch, ran to 60 episodes. Here we were done and dusted in 60 minutes. Yet it still felt fresh — short but sweet.

Apex (2026) Kevin Maher This is a mildly distracting guilty pleasure romp that is undone by its own casting crisis.

5/5
Gilda (1946) Kevin Maher There are salutary lessons here about Hollywood’s perpetual obsession with female lust objects and its wilful denial of reality.

4/5
Primavera (2025) Kevin Maher Insolia and Riondino are quite perfectly cast. Their characters have soul chemistry and their scenes together are the film’s best.

4/5
Rose of Nevada (2025) Kevin Maher Like all Jenkin’s films, it looks extraordinary and the deliberately “tinny” post-sync sound only adds to the sense that you are watching something ancient, meaningful and quite magical.

4/5
Mother Mary (2026) Kevin Maher Sam and Mother Mary’s chemistry is the film’s big sell, and the impeccable Coel and imperious Hathaway prove the ultimate dynamic duo.

4/5
Miriam Margolyes Made Me Me (2026) Carol Midgley I can never imagine Margolyes doing one of those polished Netflix vanity marathons beloved by Gordon Ramsay and the Beckhams. This one — quirky, random, not always flattering, but “real” — was the right kind of vehicle for her.

1/5
Michael (2026) Kevin Maher The narrative is an aimless Wiki-plod through Jackson’s back catalogue, first with the Jackson 5 and then his early solo career. His siblings are negligible as characters and there’s a conspicuous vacuum where Janet Jackson should have been.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Akira (1988) Kevin Maher This is ideologically bleak, incessantly violent and astonishing.
Posted Apr 20, 2026  Edit critic review
1/5
Glenrothan (2025) Kevin Maher Cox is unable to manufacture actual tension and so captures only a flatlining milieu where nothing of any dramatic value happens.
Posted Apr 20, 2026  Edit critic review
A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough (2026) Carol Midgley It is a conservation success story and a love letter to the gorilla, told beautifully by the undisputed silverback of natural history broadcasting.
Posted Apr 20, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) Kevin Maher The film is great, bristling with ideas and hard-won epiphanies.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Rebuilding (2025) Kevin Maher It’s a definitive “we the people” movie filled with gorgeous vistas, crepuscular landscapes, authentic people and a deeply moving sense of everything that’s best about the US at a time when it needs it most.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Kevin Maher It looks great, and Cronin is a gifted stylist. But, as with his debut The Hole in the Ground, there’s too much slavish imitation and homage here.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
McCartney: The Hunt for the Lost Bass (2026) Kevin Maher It’s difficult not to regard the entire project with a vaguely benign shoulder shrug.
Posted Apr 15, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
California Schemin' (2025) Tom Shone McAvoy feels the pain as well as the joy of his two cultural minstrels.
Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
5/5
Stand by Me (1986) Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Stand by Me remains one of the loveliest and most devastating films ever made about the loss of childhood.
Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
The Stranger (2025) Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Making an engaging film about such a pathologically passive, unreflective and disengaged character is a challenge. Yet Ozon keeps us engrossed.
Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
undertone (2025) Larushka Ivan-Zadeh It’s the writer-director Ian Tuason’s ingenious use of negative space that makes his low-budget debut a standout.

1/5
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Wearisomely predictable nonsense.
Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Kevin Maher Everything is pleasant and fitfully amusing. In short, it is middling.
Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Jerry Maguire (1996) Geoff Brown This is a long film, and not every minute is spent wisely. But, as in his last film, Singles, the writer and director Cameron Crowe knows enough about human behaviour to fill the broad sweep of his plot with telling moments.
Posted Apr 10, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
California Schemin' (2025) Kevin Maher McAvoy wraps everything up a little too neatly with easy sentiment and lessons learnt. But it remains, until the end, a potent movie about bruised Scottish identity and the psychological perils of a pretender’s career.

5/5
Amélie (2001) Kevin Maher A deeply lovely movie about the importance, and the rewards, of kindness.

5/5
André Is an Idiot (2025) Ben Dowell André Is an Idiot is one of the most moving and profound cancer stories you will see.

2/5
Two Women (2025) Kevin Maher The film, despite themes of empowerment, is really a strange cinematic palimpsest. Scratch the glossy feminist makeover to reveal underneath a still smirking, leering, chauvinistic pig.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Fuze (2025) Kevin Maher The twists are many and some predictable, but the mood here is mostly, and unapologetically, guilty-pleasure hokum.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards (2026) Carol Midgley It is an instructive and important depiction of the blatant abuse of power. And also the gobsmacking recklessness of a man with so very much to lose, who has now burnt his bridges.
Posted Apr 01, 2026  Edit critic review
0/5
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Kevin Maher The film is torturous to sit through and, for me, provoked periods of actual physical discomfort.

5/5
The Drama (2026) Kevin Maher A nuptial apocalypse has rarely been explored with such dark intelligence and mordant wit as in this often piercing and cringe-out-loud dramedy starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya.

Khartoum (2025) James Jackson With an at times ambient soundtrack, the film ends up feeling like a dream.

The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) Kevin Maher Farnaby’s screenplay is deplorable.

Splitsville (2025) Kevin Maher This is a beautifully written and played film, with shades of Woody Allen and Nora Ephron.
Posted Mar 30, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
They Will Kill You (2026) Kevin Maher This is poorly choreographed action, generically shot, with entirely weightless dramatic stakes.

5/5
William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) Kevin Maher The chemistry between the pair — light yet earnest, playful but seemingly real — lays the groundwork for the authenticity of the pain and loss to come.

The Bad News Bears (1976) David Robinson For all its sweet-sour undertones, it is a very funny film indeed.

5/5
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Kevin Maher Van Sant is on form here.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
5/5
Ben-Hur (1959) Kevin Maher The most remarkable aspect of Ben-Hur is its narrative simplicity.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Arco (2025) Kevin Maher It doesn’t all work. Iris and Arco are slightly bland, and a third-act chase sequence seems superfluous. But the bleak ending, the key character killed and the brutal twist? Bravo!
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) Ed Potton Boon’s already considerable charisma is somehow magnified by Tommy’s incarceration and Graham and Riseborough prove yet again that they can find humanity in even the most disturbing characters.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Portrait of a Confused Father (2025) James Jackson The beauty of parenthood was all here but mostly the perpetual worries of it.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
A Pale View of Hills (2025) Kevin Maher It is a fascinating, often moving exploration of Japanese family life in the traumatised, bomb-blasted aftermath of the Second World War.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Love That Remains (2025) Kevin Maher This is a film of rolling vignettes, beautifully shot on 35mm film, that are often zany and surreal but slowly coalesce to form a portrait of a family at the mercy of, oh yes, the unforgiving elements.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere (2026) Carol Midgley Theroux’s task is to try to chip away at their macho façades, and hopefully show us the vulnerable lost boys beneath. To some extent, he succeeds.
Posted Mar 12, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Reminders of Him (2026) Kevin Maher The Colleen Hoover school of social realism is back — and this time it's more idiotic than ever.
Posted Mar 12, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
How to Make a Killing (2026) Kevin Maher There are some mildly diverting moments, and it’s pleasing to see Ed Harris emerge later on in a significant set piece. Like everything else in this ill-judged effort, his appearance is a wasted opportunity.
