Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “American film-maker David Borenstein marshals Talankin's extensive footage, crafting a compact and compelling story with a range of interesting participants.” – Radio Times Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Xeno (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Overly familiar themes and storytelling approaches, culminating in a somewhat uninteresting final act, hold the film back, but it powers along well enough on its unforced adolescent sincerity, personified by Wilson's impressive lead performance.” – Radio Times Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Alice, Darling (2022) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Screenwriter Alanna Francis wisely sticks to believable, low-key situations, building a portrait that proves instructive but also, for the most part, dramatically compelling. ” – Radio Times Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Redes (1936) 78% 4/5 EDIT “The film's two most rousing appeals to working-class unity couldn't be more different in style: one a fiery, direct public speech, the other a wordless scene of boats advancing across the bay in a powerful display of dissent. ” – Radio Times Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Ick (2024) 69% 3/5 EDIT “It is, in essence, a 2020s update of classic B-fare such as The Blob, with satirical allusions to Covid-19 dotted around for good measure. Taken on those terms, the low-budget mayhem works rather well.” – Radio Times Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros (2023) 100% 5/5 EDIT “The overriding sensation here is of celebration as Wiseman quietly traces the long process that results in something as profoundly beautiful and fleeting as a great plate of food. ” – Radio Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Eventually, things drift past any obvious logic, but it simply doesn't matter; Guiraudie and his top-drawer cast pull it all together with such brio that the characters' bizarre actions seem to make perfect sense.” – Radio Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Jingle Bell Heist (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “As a cosy, light-hearted yarn with a cheery holiday gloss and some romance thrown in for good measure, it delivers a little more than the average Hallmark TV landfill.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Unholy Trinity (2024) 42% 3/5 EDIT “Coasting along on a solid raft of no-nonsense western tropes, this is strictly for fans of the genre.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Family Plan 2 (2025) 31% 2/5 EDIT “The dialogue is lazy and the characters are thin clichés; so, while a few gags hit their marks, the plot remains far too bland to really hold any attention.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review All Your Faces (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Taking a balanced approach to questions of victimhood and restitution, and directing with subtle visual flair, Herry weaves a riveting and resonant tapestry that argues for a positive, progressive vision of society.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Fantomas (1932) 3/5 EDIT “Though mostly one for the pulp-fiction fanatics, Fejos's witty blend of spooky horror, detective mystery and criminal thriller makes for a compelling curio.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Film-maker David Osit crafts a measured examination of the controversial reality TV show To Catch a Predator.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “It all amounts to a tender illustration of our need for art in tough times.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2025 Full Review We're All Going to the World's Fair (2021) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Melancholy and carefully paced, it's a strange and remarkable debut.” – Radio Times Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Twits (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “The CG picture-book aesthetic varies in quality, but the voice cast is largely excellent, with Martindale and Vegas especially enthusiastic as the crazed, slapstick villains.” – Radio Times Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Like so many celeb-focused films, ultimately a PR exercise” – Radio Times Oct 15, 2025 Full Review The Librarians (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “This is provocative stuff and, despite including footage of Nazi book-burnings and clips from Fahrenheit 451 (1966), Snyder strives to avoid being overly inflammatory. ” – Radio Times Oct 1, 2025 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “The film never presses any ecological themes, only making one clear reference to the man-made climate crisis. But it makes its point, and grips the viewer, by confidently immersing us in an upsetting, claustrophobic vision of a literal hell on Earth.” – Radio Times Oct 1, 2025 Full Review OSS 117 (1963) 2/5 EDIT “Faddish to a fault, it's a fun little artefact nonetheless.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (1997) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Master cinematographer Robert Richardson provides the lovely imagery that underscores the film's unique appeal. ” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Eenie Meanie (2025) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Reminiscent of Edgar Wright's similarly mixed Baby Driver, this has some satisfying scenes but grows less sure of itself as it drifts along.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review The Encampments (2025) 94% 3/5 EDIT “It has a palpable historical urgency, exacerbated during sudden bursts of violence (courtesy of the NYPD) that recall footage of anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the 1960s and 70s.” – Radio Times Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Running on Empty (2024) 16% 2/5 EDIT “The basic plot and its ruminations on mortality are nothing new, but some good chuckles are to be had along the way.” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 70% 3/5 EDIT “By focusing on a broader allegory about identity and redemption, the director does throw in some vaguely provocative ideas that give his award-winning quartet of women some material to play with. ” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2025 Full Review
