How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 2/5 EDIT “The movie isn’t terrible. (It is also a long way from good.) Mostly, it is a headscratcher: pieces from different puzzles it was clearly hoped would simply, seamlessly fit together. Spoiler alert: they don’t.” – Financial Times Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Director Mascha Schilinski’s jagged, heady film is a dark collage of girlhood through time, most clearly held together by a setting in the same farmhouse in Altmark, north-east Germany.” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 4/5 EDIT “If it sounds like 15 movies at once, that is how it plays. Both cranked very high indeed, Buckley and Bale seem to be sharing a private game of anything-you-can-do.” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Nuance is not the film’s game. But there is also real conviction to the blur of wartime history, family melodrama, raw Shakespearean heft and mystical woo-woo. ” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 93% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is invested with care and energy, sprinkled with gags and neat flights of fancy. ” – Financial Times Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Sirāt makes a ticklish presence in Oscar conversations: it has the flavour of a cult film, a grimy gatecrasher among the tuxedos. And yet this isn’t the trippy sprawl of another generation’s midnight movie. ” – Financial Times Feb 26, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “A lot here works. Seyfried is great. Neither the mystery of faith nor the cost it can have are downplayed.” – Financial Times Feb 26, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Under the sober political drama, then, we find a loopy cult movie. Under that, though, is a film that is both outlandish and deadly serious, about real-life sharks and devils, and the way dictators bring the worst kind of anarchy. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “You could call the film a comedy about motherhood. I have certainly never seen a funnier scene involving a hamster. It also feels like a nightmare. At all points, though, the vibe is unnerving. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is too long, and headbangingly unsubtle, though it doesn’t always feel like a chore. It is, however, still more curious than it sounds. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% 3/5 EDIT “The Moment is thus a spoof with a bad dream edge, a jangly in-joke. For it to make sense, you will need a basic conversance with the success of Brat...” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The sheer scale of the Presley charisma is still Imax ridiculous. But you also see the precision skill with which a great bandleader worked the crowd and his musicians.” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% 4/5 EDIT “At times, the mood is almost larky. (Lamia travels with her cockerel, Hindi, a star.). But the small, grave face of Nayyef — who has never acted before, and gives a great performance — provides the soul of the film. ” – Financial Times Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Marbles (2025) 4/5 EDIT “At the heart of this intelligent film, then, is a grave historical wrong — and a deep vein of nuance.” – Financial Times Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Some of the visual ideas are impressively weird... You may tire, though, of the movie’s urge to constantly give us new things to gawp at ” – Financial Times Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Hamlet (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Malik and Chaddha are very good; likewise Morfydd Clark as Ophelia and Timothy Spall as Polonius. But this is Ahmed’s film, his Hamlet a dervish of fury and sorrow, whirring on the brink.  ” – Financial Times Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Just as important for a wham-bam action movie, the aggro is well choreographed, and slightly mad. ” – Financial Times Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “If Breathless was a cool revolution, Nouvelle Vague is warmly nostalgic. ” – Financial Times Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The film is also a rarity: a smart and charming crowd-pleaser, with natural sweetness. And make no mistake, other filmmakers would have drowned in syrup a tale about two famously dark subjects: divorce and stand-up comedy. ” – Financial Times Jan 29, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Restructuring has never been so bloody.” – Financial Times Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Director Joe Carnahan brings snap, but this is basic beer-and-pizza stuff with a high-end finish.” – Financial Times Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “The cast do admirable work in a film that must have tested them too. The result is exactly as harrowing as it needs to be.” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Less caffeinated than Boyle, [Nia DaCosta's] cool eye is exactly what the movie needs — moonlit clarity amid the madness.” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “ A different movie might find Phillip stricken by identity crises. Rental Family, though, doesn’t give him much identity to start with beyond an artless sweet nature.” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “In the end, the film that takes his name becomes a polished hymn to great art. In great art itself, though, life is rarely so neat — and death never this tidy. ” – Financial Times Jan 8, 2026 Full Review
