We Are Aliens70
Jun 1, 2026
We Are Aliens remains visually engrossing and, as storytelling, it’s mostly sophisticated and intelligent.
May 22, 2026
Cantona70
May 22, 2026
As a portrait of the man, it’s selective but not so much as to feel shallow. It fleshes out his qualities and weaknesses while preserving much of the enigma. Which is exactly what you imagine Cantona himself would want.

The Man I Love80
May 21, 2026
The Man I Love doesn’t feel so much like a portrait of a time and place rather than something more essential and human: a portrait of a passionate and loving character caught in a final performance he didn’t ask for, and which he wishes would never end.

Moulin80
May 19, 2026
Heroes are often given big speeches and major acts, but heroism is finally defined in Moulin as saying nothing and doing nothing – resisting with the full force of your body and your mind.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu70
May 19, 2026
It opens no major storytelling doors in the Star Wars universe – and is unlikely to herald a new era of Star Wars in cinemas. Indeed, for fans of the series it could feel like several fresh episodes of the streaming show given a major boost of scale, imagination and budget. Still, as a standalone film, it’s perky and good-looking, with rousing set pieces.

The Secret Agent80
May 21, 2025
The Secret Agent is vicious and vivid in its sense of place and danger. But it also has a streak of weirdness and offers a very human take on the political-crime thriller genre.
May 20, 2025
The Little Sister80
May 20, 2025
As a storyteller, writer-director Hafsia Herzi is not coy, but she’s careful, allowing intimacy to emerge with the same tentativeness as it does for Fatima.
May 19, 2025
Renoir80
May 19, 2025
It’s as interesting for what it doesn’t show as for what it does.
May 18, 2025
Die My Love100
May 18, 2025
It’s a deeply raw and honest film. It’s bleak, but it also has a musical, black-comic, big-hearted spirit that pulls you through the despair.

Bono: Stories of Surrender60
May 17, 2025
This good-natured hagiography isn’t anywhere near free of pomposity, but even Bono seems to know when it’s best just to keep quiet and move on.
