Heel60
Mar 18, 2026
It’s lifted by some very convincing performances.

Little Amélie or the Character of Rain80
Feb 10, 2026
The animation initially looks like something produced on an early Nintendo console, but what it lacks in finesse it more than makes up for in feeling. It makes sense of how a small child sees the world, saturated and magical but not yet subtly detailed.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple80
Jan 13, 2026
Simpler, but also bolder and bloodier, than its predecessor, The Bone Temple is a more-than-worthy sequel.

The Housemaid40
Dec 16, 2025
Great houses, shame about the plotting. The sort of glossy nonsense you might happily half-watch on a lazy Sunday.

Eternity60
Dec 4, 2025
A delightful premise never fully comes to life in this sweet romcom, which is a real shame because it gets off to such a strong start.

Predator: Badlands80
Nov 4, 2025
It cleverly pulls at the supposed laws of the series in a way that makes it more interesting without diluting the fearsome nature of the title character. Trachtenberg is making the franchise richer with every instalment. And if the film’s final shot is any reliable indication, he’s far from finished.

Black Phone 260
Oct 15, 2025
There’s still plenty here to make you shiver, but in letting events out of the basement this sequel has also released much of the tension.

Him80
Sep 22, 2025
A trippy mix of horror, thriller and sports movie, Him is a very wild ride. A launching pad for its director and lead, and a shining moment for Wayans.

Caught Stealing60
Aug 28, 2025
The usually distinctive filmmaker – Black Swan, The Wrestler, Mother! – is in unflashy form for this solid, starry but not very memorable thriller about one man’s very bad night.

Freakier Friday60
Aug 5, 2025
There are almost endless holes you could pick in its logic and storytelling, but it gives you few reasons to want to. This Friday’s freakier, but it’s kind of… funner too.
