4/5
Hoppers (2026) Peter Bradshaw The film perhaps suffers from a loss of nerve about how villainous to make the villain, but it zaps along very entertainingly.

3/5
Scream 7 (2026) Benjamin Lee A scrappy, passably entertaining new chapter that limps to the screen with wounds on show.

Sense and Sensibility (1995) Derek Malcolm Perhaps we should have been aware that Thompson could write as well as she can act... But it is still a pleasant shock to see a film so divested of precious charm in favour of humor, dramatic force and the kind of romance that isn't merely sentimental.

4/5
Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Peter Bradshaw It’s an amazing story of a community triumph, showing how the nasty little habits of domineering policing can be countered by stubbornly British -- and in this case, specifically Scottish -- insistence on justice. It’s a morale-boosting film.

2/5
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Adrian Horton Too limp, uninspired and barren to conjure any of the requisite wonder for the persistence of life, the equivalent to watching paint dry on the cave wall.

2/5
The God of Frogs (2026) Leslie Felperin The whole shebang is patently silly, and the big gestural acting indicates that the cast knows that very well, but everyone seems to be having fun so it’s hard to get too mad at the result.

3/5
Crazy Old Lady (2025) Leslie Felperin We’re here for the chance to appreciate Maura’s impeccable timing and charismatic screen presence. It’s not a deep work, but it’s relentlessly fun if you’re not squeamish

3/5
The Bluff (2026) Owen Myers Chopra Jonas gamely commits to the pulpiness of The Bluff, even as it doesn’t ask much of her beyond its impressive action sequences and a few tart one-liners. But there’s cinematic swoop to the movie that you might not expect.

2/5
All You Need Is Kill (2025) Phil Hoad It might work if Rita was a more appealing protagonist, capable of wringing out gallows humour or personal tragedy from her predicament. Apart from an unconvincingly dumped backstory about parental abuse, though, she is largely a vehement-looking blank.

4/5
Else (2024) Phil Hoad Generally surrealistic and elliptical with dialogue, Else shows a heartening faith in the affective power of imagery over talk. A digital-age kindred spirit of the likes of Tetsuo: The Iron Man, this is the midnight movie real deal.

Ways to Traverse a Territory (2024) Phuong Le Apoetic calm subsumes Gabriela Domínguez Ruvalcaba’s languid documentary, shot among the mossy hills of Chiapas in Mexico.

4/5
We Are All Strangers (2026) Peter Bradshaw There’s some addictively brash storytelling here from Chen, with a page-turning novelistic energy and a marvellous sympathy for the whole cast.

3/5
Cold Storage (2026) Phil Hoad It finally serves up sloppy zomcom; just about enough for a Friday night but not much else.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
The Postman (1994) Derek Malcolm It is rather like seeing a film from another, more genuine age when you could tell a story without pressing too many buttons in order to make your audience laugh or cry. The probability is that you'll do both while watching the film.
Posted Feb 22, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Psycho Killer (2026) Benjamin Lee It’s a strange beast in that it’s too straightforward and dumb to work as a crime thriller yet too dull and scare-free to work as a horror, awkwardly falling somewhere in-between.

4/5
Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) Peter Bradshaw You may find yourself wondering why we are going over this ground again, but it's an engaging film, and there is always something mesmeric in McCartney's face: cherubic, and yet sharp and watchful.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Peter Bradshaw Bronstein is brilliant at conveying mounting panic and a terrible, all-consuming sadness.

3/5
The Blood Countess (2026) Peter Bradshaw A succession of bizarre episodes, often engagingly bizarre, sometimes heavy-handed, although it is notable that the script is partly credited to Austria’s Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek who is not known for humour of any sort.

Queen at Sea (2026) Peter Bradshaw Queen at Sea is a film with a tragic, wintry candour.

Wasteman (2025) Peter Bradshaw Some of the tropes are familiar, but this film sidesteps the cliches with the committed acting and fierce storytelling punch.

Scare Out (2026) Leslie Felperin Scare Out doesn’t have the psychological depth of the first, immaculate Infernal Affairs film, but Zhu is tremendously watchable as a spymaster with secrets of his own/

Redux Redux (2025) Phil Hoad If it’s not quite devious enough overall, Redux Redux still opens up a punchy murder-revenge side alley for the genre.

2/5
Night King (2026) Phil Hoad The film juggles a number of plotlines without satisfactorily closing any.

My Sister's Bones (2026) Cath Clarke The movie is stubbornly unintriguing despite a fine cast of actors doing their utmost. Even the almighty twist ending fails to pick up the pace.

4/5
Dear Beautiful Beloved (2024) Cath Clarke It’s a painful film, haunted by death, but also tender and moving, with a powerful message that compassion, love and resilience can be acts of defiance.

2/5
Bare Skin (2026) Leslie Felperin Montes and his crew pull off some well-timed scares thanks to sharp editing skills and atmospheric lighting but he would definitely benefit from learning a bit more about how to get the best from actors.

3/5
Lupin the IIIrd: The Movie - The Immortal Bloodline (2025) Phuong Le The meticulous character designs for Muom and his minions are marvellously grotesque, and the combat scenes are thrilling to behold. But the plot feels painfully thin.

3/5
Collective Monologue (2024) Phuong Le Jessica Sarah Rinland’s sensuous documentary poetically foregrounds the physical and emotional contact that occurs between animals and their carers, even within these spaces of surveillance.

Gangsterism (2025) Phil Hoad It’s dense stuff, and staged at an ironic, if not quite playful, remove.

Rosebush Pruning (2026) Peter Bradshaw I have to admit to finding it heavy-handed and clumsy more often than not, although there are some good performances, notably from Jamie Bell and Elle Fanning.

Rose (2026) Peter Bradshaw This is a film about the power and violence that occupies an invisible stratum below the bürgerlich calm, a stratum which becomes obvious when it is challenged. It’s another outstanding star performance from Hüller.

2/5
Chocolat (2000) Peter Bradshaw The sheer, unmitigated ickiness of the film is what gets you down in the end. That and the supercilious association of chocolate with sex. It's got all the taste and style of "erotic" chocolate body-paint kits on sale at British Home Stores.

No Good Men (2026) Peter Bradshaw This is a contemporary romance and the kind of film that tells you things about Afghanistan that aren’t covered in our own nightly news.

Sunny Dancer (2026) Peter Bradshaw Despite or even because of its generic debts, the film has buoyancy and sunshine.

A Prayer for the Dying (2026) Peter Bradshaw Its visual gestures and set pieces, although striking and often shocking, felt for me disconnected from any emotional truth – a truth that sustained, developed storytelling may have provided.

Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Peter Bradshaw This elusive, ruminative and very absorbing movie presents its successive scenes like a sequence of unresolved chords carrying the listener on a journey without a destination...

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Benjamin Lee Even if much of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is in need of a rethink, it’s hard not to enjoy the scrappy, animated brainstorm taking place in front of us. The mess of it all is at least a very human one.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Leslie Felperin It never provokes full-on out loud laughs, but there are wry chuckles to be had and the ferocity of the execution is pretty fun.

Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) Peter Bradshaw This tender and sweet animation from film-makers Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han is an involving, poignant study of early childhood; how fragile it is, and how strong you feel yourself to be to have outlived or surpassed it.

Beyond Trainspotting: The World of Irvine Welsh (2025) Peter Bradshaw I would have liked to hear more from Welsh about the cities he loves and about other authors and music he loves -- and more from other authors about how he influenced them. But it’s always a pleasure to hear from this uniquely funny and articulate writer.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) Peter Bradshaw Ang Lee's achievement is to reconnect the genre with its innate, latent sense of decorum and romance, qualities which have been ignored, or treated ironically or unintelligently.

The Marbles (2025) Peter Bradshaw Wilkinson entertainingly recounts Elgin’s arrogance and also puts before us the new context of museum restitution where institutions are restoring contested items, especially in Scotland, which leads the way in this movement.

Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) Guardian Staff "Stranger on the Third Floor" is another example of the unpretentious pot-boiler achieving the dignity and design of an epic.
