Abode (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The whole anthology feels lived-in, creating an immediate intimacy with the viewer.” – Eye for Film Mar 20, 2026 Full Review The Land of Sometimes (2025) 2/5 EDIT “In places the film feels skeletal, the bones of the story barely covered, let alone properly fleshed out.” – Eye for Film Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Crash Land (2026) 4.5/5 EDIT “There’s a considerable sensitivity and intelligence to this film, underlying its glorious stupidity.” – Eye for Film Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Fifteen (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Ricardo Álvarez Canales and Andrzej Rattinger’s dialogue is wonderfully observed and the two leads give lively, fresh performances which make them feel like real 14-year-old girls, looking at the world in a way most adults forget.” – Eye for Film Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Their Town (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Astutely observed and sensitively performed.” – Eye for Film Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Pizza Movie (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s an uneven film, emerging as a series of comedy skits before gradually melding them into a coherent story.” – Eye for Film Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Butcher's Stain (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “One of the most nuanced and heartfelt films in this year’s competition, this is, astoundingly, a début effort.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The film is a little haphazard in structure, but is anything, this is an asset, reflecting he chaotic nature of Brent and Craig’s lives.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Forevergreen (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “The bear is cute and its antics can be endearing, but at 13 minutes, the film already feels too long.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review All the Empty Rooms (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “For the most part...the rooms speak for themselves.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Jane Austen's Period Drama (2024) 3/5 EDIT “The film is superbly crafted.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review The Singers (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Illuminating their faces, Davis intentionally brings out wrinkles and rough skin – the features that speak to who they are, to their unique life experiences.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) 4.5/5 EDIT “It's rare to see this level of world building in a short.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Perfectly a Strangeness (2024) 4.5/5 EDIT “Perfectly A Strangeness is an experiment in the documentary form, its innovative storytelling inviting viewers to engage with the world from a fresh perspective.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review A Friend of Dorothy (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “Nwachukwu...is a stand-out talent, and brings a real delicacy to this role.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Never After Dark (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “With a cleverly signposted plot twist which ratchets up the tension towards the end, the film makes room for one or two j-horror tropes which should please the home audience, but doesn’t rely on them. ” – Eye for Film Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Edie Arnold Is a Loser (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “The plot here isn’t particularly sophisticated, but there are some great moments, and the filmmakers find clever ways to play with the form. ” – Eye for Film Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Kill Me (2026) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “The story goes to some difficult places and is by no means all about laughs, but its comedic elements will likely appeal most strongly to those with lived experience.” – Eye for Film Mar 13, 2026 Full Review A Pale View of Hills (2025) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “All of this fine work has potential, but too often the deeper ideas in the book are teased only to be abandoned."” – Eye for Film Mar 13, 2026 Full Review First Light (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A thoughtful and lyrical film unafraid to do things differently.” – Eye for Film Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Psalms of the People (2026) 4/5 EDIT “It’s in the moment, in the process, in the commingling of voices that something divine is found.” – Eye for Film Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Effi o Blaenau (2026) 5/5 EDIT “Such is the force in Gwenllian’s performance that it would be almost impossible not to root for her.” – Eye for Film Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Turner & Constable (2026) 4/5 EDIT “At one point there’s a a clever shot where the camera eases back and moves between rooms, bringing out the three-dimensionality of the paintings in the process.” – Eye for Film Mar 10, 2026 Full Review In the Land of Lost Angels (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The story is simple. Mashbat’s approach to it is much more sophisticated.” – Eye for Film Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Red Riding (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “A first stab at directing for actor Craig Conway, Red Riding scores high on atmosphere and is grounded by a strong central performance.” – Eye for Film Mar 9, 2026 Full Review
