Reagan (2024) 17% 2/5 EDIT “The result is a film that looks and feels like a parody, becoming at times so absurd it's almost fun.” – Radio Times May 7, 2026 Full Review Animal Farm (2025) 27% 3/5 EDIT “However, if you can pretend you have never heard of Animal Farm before, it's a decent enough kids' film with great voice performances.” – Radio Times May 7, 2026 Full Review Holy Cow (2024) 98% 4/5 EDIT “With bawdy humour, gorgeous scenery, deadpan performances, adolescent cheek, fumbling sex and a far-too-detailed calf's breech birth sequence, this is a compelling debut feature from director Louise Courvoisier.” – Radio Times Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Brides (2025) 84% 4/5 EDIT “The two spiky lead characters are far from idealised, yet remain endearing even as they make one bad decision after another, leading to one of cinema's more devastating fades to black.” – Radio Times Mar 31, 2026 Full Review Togo (2019) 93% 4/5 EDIT “It is unashamedly sentimental feel-good fare, with lots of cute furry critters, some nailbiting action, and plenty of breathtaking mountainscapes. ” – Radio Times Mar 23, 2026 Full Review The Bluff (2026) 55% 3/5 EDIT “A spirited cast, slick cinematography, visceral fight scenes and designer action give it a certain swagger.” – Radio Times Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Firebreak (2026) 3/5 EDIT “An efficient little thriller that won't set your world alight, but provides a few sparks.” – Radio Times Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Worldbreaker (2025) 41% 2/5 EDIT “Some decent acting and cinematography give the film a veneer of respectability, but at heart this is sheer B-movie bobbins.” – Radio Times Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Bone Lake then spends much of its run-time as a twisty, character-led psychological thriller, before going all-out grindhouse for a blood-soaked, over-the-top final reel and a groan-inducing punchline. T” – Radio Times Feb 23, 2026 Full Review The Alabama Solution (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “While the documentary doesn't claim this is a specifically black-and-white issue, you're left in little doubt that racism is the root of the problem.” – Radio Times Feb 23, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 76% 3/5 EDIT “As far as by-the-numbers fluff goes, it's glossy, well-crafted and witty, practically revelling in its predictability. ” – Radio Times Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Son of a Thousand Men (2025) 4/5 EDIT “This beguiling Brazilian drama offers a twist on the fairy tale format, as a reclusive fisherman's simple wishes expose the dark secrets of his fellow villagers. ” – Radio Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Shell (2024) 63% 2/5 EDIT “Its lurch into grisly thriller territory for the final act is a total failure.” – Radio Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Man Accused (1959) 2/5 EDIT “Man Accused is a bargain-bin Hitchcock-esque thriller.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “It's fluffy, fast-moving fun, but there's little on offer here - either in terms of plot or visuals - that doesn't feel thoroughly over-familiar. ” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Playdate (2025) 23% 3/5 EDIT “Reminiscent of late-80s high-concept popcorn flicks in which stars like Schwarzenegger and Stallone sent up their own action personas, this is a serviceable romp with infectious star turns and some shamelessly lowbrow humour.” – Radio Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review The Harbinger (2022) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Trading in atmosphere rather than gore or jump scares, The Harbinger boasts excellent performances from its two leads, edgy direction and unsettling, expressionistic dream sequences with stark contrasts of shadow and light. ” – Radio Times Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Bad Man (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The humour veers between Tarantino-style laconic quipping and broader, goofier moments, delivering a decent amount of laughs, plus across-the-board charismatic performances. ” – Radio Times Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Villain (2020) 71% 3/5 EDIT “The film does feel oddly old-fashioned, though, merrily peddling UK crime drama tropes, and it doesn't have much profound to say beyond violence breeds violence.” – Radio Times Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Night Call (2024) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Rather than coming across as John Wick-style superhuman fighters, the characters are desperate, unskilled, opportunist brawlers in a recognisably real, if slightly heightened, world.” – Radio Times Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Mystery on Bird Island (1954) 3/5 EDIT “The clipped style of acting now feels like self-parody, but the film possesses a nostalgic charm that comes from a more naive era of film-making.” – Radio Times Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Wall to Wall (2025) 59% 4/5 EDIT “The satirical premise grows ever more peculiar as writer/director Kim Tae-joon gradually turns his litany of miseries into a witty, slick paranoid thriller.” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2025 Full Review The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006) 87% 5/5 EDIT “Directed with a gentle sense of magic by Mamoru Hosoda, this beautifully designed film makes suburban Tokyo look almost ethereal: a world you can understand Makoto wanting to live in forever.” – Radio Times Jul 11, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% 3/5 EDIT “M3GAN 2.0 is not a disaster by any means. It’s really very funny in places, there are some great action set pieces and the cast gamely give it everything they’ve got.” – Radio Times Jul 11, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “It remains a great film, full of heart and joy and positive messages about embracing differences. ” – Radio Times Jun 24, 2025 Full Review
