Sirāt (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “The narrative seems set for a straightforward thriller about a man’s tenacious search for his child. But Spanish director Oliver Laxe has other ideas, crafting an increasingly surreal, weirdly watchable tale of dancing, drug-taking, sand and music.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2/5 EDIT “It’s a mix of the predictable and the preposterous.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Amanda Seyfried gives a tremendously impressive and fiercely committed performance, maintaining a credible north-of-England accent throughout.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% 3/5 EDIT “It's certainly no Spinal Tap. But it's modestly engaging.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Director Morgan Neville tries to lift his film above the ordinary with some wacky editing, but doesn't really need to, because the material is so good. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “I was captivated from its fantastic opening scene.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It is a rewarding but crazy film. You will rarely spend a more exhausting 113 minutes sitting down.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “As all this unfolds, McMau builds the tension superbly.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Anyone with even a passing interest will surely be spellbound both by his on-stage charisma, which we all knew about, and his profound musicality, which in truth had passed some of us by. The fusion of both makes for quite a spectacle.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “Whistle isn't a comedy but it certainly made me laugh. That said, it also has a few nicely choreographed scares and should keep even the most fearless of you well away from Aztec death whistles for the foreseeable future” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Glossy heist thrillers need exciting car chases as much as they need relentless throbbing music, and Crime 101 offers both. Not much of it adds up, but watching it fail to add up is modest fun.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “It's a tough watch, but on the whole an impressive debut by Stewart.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Hamlet (2025) 82% EDIT “It's splendidly acted.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “James Sweeney's dark but touching relationship comedy is a treat. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “This film is not for everyone, but it swept me along on a wave of what, by the end, felt like exhilaration.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% 2/5 EDIT “It's less Wuthering Heights, more Fifty Shades of Grimm.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Amid all the extreme gore there is genuine suspense.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 64% 3/5 EDIT “The strings and percussion sections of an unseen orchestra do relentless battle to see which can more forcefully remind us we're watching an exciting action thriller.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Kangaroo (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Kangaroo is an engaging, bittersweet and indeed bouncy tale.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Linklater sets the scene and tells the story with so much joy that it will reel you in, whether or not you are familiar with Godard’s work.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 2/5 EDIT “Long before the end, Is This Thing On? had turned me off.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% 2/5 EDIT “It's all very nicely and tastefully done, and modestly touching, but a little dirge-like. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The story does not unfold as I expected, but then grief rarely does. Which might be the whole point. Whatever, it’s a very worthwhile film, with a superb performance from Foy at its heart.” – Daily Mail (UK) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 5/5 EDIT “It is superbly acted throughout by a splendid cast.” – Daily Mail (UK) Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “There are glimmers of suspense as we try to guess who the bent cops might be, because the formula decrees that there must be at least one.” – Daily Mail (UK) Jan 20, 2026 Full Review
