Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) 89% 3/5 EDIT “It’s an extraordinary turn, ­immersive and spectacular, and Eilish delivers a five-star performance for the folks in attendance. If only the film around her was as good as the gig.” – Irish Independent May 7, 2026 Full Review Trad (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Films about teenagers finding their voice through song will never get old – and this one might be the first to channel a sweet, crowd-pleasing narrative through the lively, powerful draw of traditional Irish music.” – Irish Independent May 7, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in a Cinema (2026) 3/5 EDIT “...Once Upon a Time in a Cinema is intentionally broad and undeniably cartoonish, the kind of film they used to make all the time in this country. Familiar and old-fashioned, you’ll know exactly where this thing is headed.” – Irish Independent May 2, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Every great ghost story requires a pitch-black sense of humour, and Hokum is as funny as it is freaky. Scott, a pro in every department, aces the assignment.” – Irish Independent Apr 30, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Some patience is required, ­obviously. But director and co-writer Genki Kawamura crafts a compelling puzzle, and Exit 8 is the real deal, a brainy psychological frightener...” – Irish Independent Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 1/5 EDIT “Dumb as a rock and as deep as a puddle, "Michael" is big on fantasy but short on humanity.” – Irish Independent Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Here is a film that tries everything and commits to nothing. Condon and his cast give it loads, but the finished product is slow, watery and tonally uneven. ” – Irish Independent Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Another dull Mummy flick? I’m afraid so. Cronin will have better days.” – Irish Independent Apr 16, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “This film feels like something of a choppy companion piece to that renowned 2007 crowd-pleaser. It’s nicely shot with excellent sound design. But a few original ideas and a tidier third act wouldn’t have hurt.” – Irish Independent Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Sweet, sincere and refreshingly straightforward, Father Mother Sister Brother keeps things tidy and compassionate, and is quite unlike anything else you’ll see at the pictures this year.” – Irish Independent Apr 8, 2026 Full Review One Last Deal (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Distasteful plot twists pile up, and Jimmy is a very difficult geezer to root for. But Dyer – an actor in the midst of a well-deserved career renaissance – embraces the chaos and plays a strong solo game. Nice dancing, too.” – Irish Independent Mar 13, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Margaret Qualley and Topher Grace lend a hand – but it’s the Powell Show, all the way, and our charming Texan friend elevates another ordinary big-screen diversion. Imagine what he could do with a real hit.” – Irish Independent Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Trim, accessible and refreshingly coherent, the film accomplishes what the final two seasons could not: it tells a proper story, it follows a straight line and it gives its cranky, chain-smoking lead a genuinely thrilling send-off.” – Irish Independent Mar 5, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 1/5 EDIT “It’s an ugly, irritating film, the kind that makes good performers look bad. Buckley, a victim of shoddy writing and toneless direction, deserves better.” – Irish Independent Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Dull for the first half and confusing in the second, Scream 7 is utterly preposterous and entirely inconsequential; a horror without brains, wit and imagination. ” – Irish Independent Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “McCartney’s golden commentary anchors and enriches this riveting and rewarding project.” – Irish Independent Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Goofy, scrappy and unforgivably chatty, Cold Storage could do with some sharper jokes and bigger scares.” – Irish Independent Feb 19, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It’s all close-ups and close calls, arguments and tantrums, and this stressful, feverish film will have you sweating. ” – Irish Independent Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 64% 1/5 EDIT “Janky visual effects lower the tone and there is a sense throughout of Hardy and Egerton making up the rules – and the dialogue – as they go along. Do ­yourself a favour and rewatch Final ­Destination instead.” – Irish Independent Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “You don’t make a film this showy, this unapologetically raunchy without hoping for a big reaction. It’s on the way, I’d bet. Just don’t go taking any of it too seriously.” – Irish Independent Feb 9, 2026 Full Review A Quiet Love (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Big topics – too big for a shared space, perhaps – and this eager, heartfelt documentary sometimes gets in its own way. But you’ll be glad you watched it.” – Irish Independent Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “The less you know about this one, the better. Intelligent and inventive, Sweeney’s unconventional grief comedy is full of surprises and is next-to-impossible to discuss without spoiling.” – Irish Independent Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “True, Godard was a pain in the neck, and the real Breathless shoot caused a great deal of stress for its cast and crew. This witty and enchanting reconstruction, however, looks as if it was a joy to make, from start to finish.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “This isn’t a film about telling jokes; it’s about what happens when couples forget to make the effort with one another. It’s also a bit of a hoot.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “There is a sense of strain throughout this respectable, warm-hearted film from director Philippa ­Lowthorpe and co-writer Emma ­Donoghue. A ­responsibility, perhaps, to honour the ­nature side of Helen’s tale, and the real human drama. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review
