3/5
Sirāt (2025) Brian Viner 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.

Scream 7 (2026) Brian Viner It’s a mix of the predictable and the preposterous.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Brian Viner Amanda Seyfried gives a tremendously impressive and fiercely committed performance, maintaining a credible north-of-England accent throughout.

Cecil: The Lion and the Dentist (2026) Christopher Stevens A two-hour film shot with an aching sense of Africa's wild beauty.

5/5
Cecil: The Lion and the Dentist (2026) Claudia Connell Directed by Arthur Cary, the two-hour programme is utterly captivating and heartbreaking as it delves into the build-up to Cecil’s slaying and the fallout that followed.

The Moment (2026) Brian Viner It's certainly no Spinal Tap. But it's modestly engaging.

4/5
Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) Brian Viner 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.

The Secret Agent (2025) Brian Viner I was captivated from its fantastic opening scene.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Brian Viner It is a rewarding but crazy film. You will rarely spend a more exhausting 113 minutes sitting down.

Wasteman (2025) Brian Viner As all this unfolds, McMau builds the tension superbly.

5/5
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Brian Viner 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.

Wuthering Heights (2026) Matthew Bond I soon found much to enjoy, not least the sheer confidence of Fennell’s exuberant, uninhibited film-making.

3/5
Whistle (2025) Brian Viner 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

3/5
Crime 101 (2026) Brian Viner 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.

The Chronology of Water (2025) Brian Viner It's a tough watch, but on the whole an impressive debut by Stewart.

Hamlet (2025) Brian Viner It's splendidly acted.

Twinless (2025) Brian Viner James Sweeney's dark but touching relationship comedy is a treat.

Send Help (2026) Brian Viner This film is not for everyone, but it swept me along on a wave of what, by the end, felt like exhilaration.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review

Wuthering Heights (2026) Brian Viner It's less Wuthering Heights, more Fifty Shades of Grimm.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Melania (2026) Claudia Connell As a producer, Melania had full editorial control. Therein lies the problem. Whether it's Harry and Meghan or the Beckhams, when the subjects have the final say, the content is never going to be juicy.

Primate (2025) Brian Viner Amid all the extreme gore there is genuine suspense.

Shelter (2026) Brian Viner 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.

Kangaroo (2025) Brian Viner Kangaroo is an engaging, bittersweet and indeed bouncy tale.

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Brian Viner 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.

Is This Thing On? (2025) Brian Viner Long before the end, Is This Thing On? had turned me off.

2/5
The History of Sound (2025) Brian Viner It's all very nicely and tastefully done, and modestly touching, but a little dirge-like.

3/5
Primate (2025) Tim Robey I didn’t care for anyone on screen at all, and can’t say I’ll ever be tempted to watch it again, but here it is, for the delectation of a niche market.

4/5
H Is for Hawk (2025) Matthew Bond The end result has a pleasing honesty, an eye-catching supporting turn from Sam Spruell as Helen’s hawking mentor and an unexpectedly lovely ending.

4/5
H Is for Hawk (2025) Brian Viner 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.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Brian Viner It is superbly acted throughout by a splendid cast.

3/5
The Rip (2026) Brian Viner 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.

3/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Brian Viner Almost all the performances in this film are very good. It's the narrative that hits the odd bum note.

Secrets of the Conclave (2025) Christopher Stevens We heard nothing of the deliberations and, though the frontrunners were named, there were few hints of how anyone voted.

The Housemaid (2025) Brian Viner The Housemaid is worth seeing for anyone who likes their thrillers high in saturated fat.

Marty Supreme (2025) Brian Viner While touching on dark themes such as antisemitism and even the Holocaust, Safdie has an almost indecent amount of fun with all this.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Brian Viner Cameron overdoes it. The narrative becomes turgid and repetitive.

Accidental Tourist (2025) Christopher Stevens Most of this pilot episode consisted of filler and repetition. Any hopes of an entire series are as cold and unappealing as a squid in a Korean fish market.

Lurker (2025) Brian Viner Excruciatingly tense, this is a brilliantly assured directorial debut from Alex Russell.

2/5
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Brian Viner Filmmaker Mike P. Nelson injects some welcome twists, including a Hallmark style romance involving Ruby Modine (daughter of Matthew). And if his holiday horror falls short as regards humour and scares, be assured it delivers sackloads of gore.

Ella McCay (2025) Brian Viner The story-telling is an absolute dog’s breakfast.

Fackham Hall (2025) Brian Viner On the whole Fackham Hall, like a flatulent family retriever in the drawing-room, is best ignored.

Eleanor the Great (2025) Brian Viner This is all very capably acted, but in the end the story is perturbingly glib in the way it addresses such weighty themes.

3/5
Goodbye June (2025) Brian Viner The few crass and clunky lines of dialogue might have been swerved by a more mature writer, but they don't stop it being a creditable effort by a fellow so young, who very knowingly tackles grief, sibling dynamics and general family dysfunction head on.
Posted Dec 13, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Testimony (2025) Brian Viner The shocking story has been dramatised in films such as Philomena (2013) and Small Things Like These (2024) but it needed telling in documentary form, and Testimony does that compellingly.
Posted Dec 13, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
The Carpenter's Son (2025) Brian Viner An overwrought exercise in biblical-horror which doesn’t name Jesus, Mary and Joseph, but we’re left in no doubt that’s who they are.

The Thing with Feathers (2025) Brian Viner Cumberbatch acting with every sinew is always worth the price of admission.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Peter Hoskin It involves compromises and hard truths; as kids' films go, it's pretty mature.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Brian Viner Craig is fabulous, but even he is eclipsed by the superb Josh O'Connor.

Blue Moon (2025) Brian Viner The acting is wonderful, but really this rather theatrical film is all about the dialogue: a bit smart-alecky at times but crafted with manifest respect for our intelligence, which always feels flattering.

5/5
Blue Moon (2025) Matthew Bond It has a wordy but deliciously witty screenplay.
