Obsession (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Barker’s film is uncomfortably funny and filled with left-field set pieces that will have the audience gasping… Obsession is violent, perverse, and entertaining in its absolute nastiness.” – The Curb May 8, 2026 Full Review Salt Along the Tongue (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Salt Along the Tongue is a spellbinding genre piece… heady and frightening coming of age story that lingers and whispers.” – The Curb May 2, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 3/5 EDIT “A mostly pleasing sequel that lacks any particular bite. Ironically, it’s more comfy sweats than haute couture.” – The Curb Apr 30, 2026 Full Review Mārama (2025) 100% EDIT “Mārama is a true genre gem with an ever-relevant focus on the violence of colonialism and the overarching reach of greedy and insatiable men who twist legacy. Imaginative and vivid… Mārama does what it intends to with perfection.” – AWFJ.org Apr 26, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 88% EDIT “Claustrophobic, funny, emotionally weighted, and very Irish; Hokum announces Damian McCarthy as a major creative voice and a horror maestro.” – The Curb Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Rabbit Trap (2025) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Rabbit Trap does seem a case of style over substance. However, that style is abundantly mesmerising at its best and charged with the mystery of dark and deep places. ” – The Curb Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Line of Fire (2022) 50% EDIT “The film could have been more successful if it worked as a piece of psychological warfare that had a more realistic set up.” – AWFJ.org Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% EDIT “Wasteman is a brutal and brilliant dissection of the corrections system and the inevitability of violence in a place where no one is interested in rehabilitation. A stunning piece of British cinema.” – AWFJ.org Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Wolfram (2025) 96% EDIT “Wolfram might be imperfect, but it is impactful and provides a window into the past through the consummate eye of one of Australia’s best, and most essential, storytellers.” – The Curb Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Trauma or, Monsters All (2026) EDIT “Larry Fessenden’s final outing for his "monsters" is smart, sometimes scathing and is best when exploring how scary selfhood and otherness is. ” – InSession Film Apr 15, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% EDIT “They Will Kill You isn’t selling a deep story; it’s selling a splatter-stick dark comedy with maximum carnage. It’s gross and bloody fun.” – AWFJ.org Mar 27, 2026 Full Review The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 91% EDIT “The Magic Faraway Tree is a simple pleasure… It’s silly and sincere and free of cynicism – perhaps the balm everyone needs.” – This is Film Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Proclivitas (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Proclivitas is a triumph of mood and meaning through cinematic language. Miley Tunnecliffe proves herself a powerful emerging talent with acumen and intelligence guiding her sensory prowess.” – The Curb Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Plague earns its place in the pantheon of nerve-wracking coming of age stories, declaring itself a classic.” – The Curb Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% F EDIT “Blackhurst relies on throwing enough blood and bone-cracking around that no one will notice how incredibly slight, hackneyed, and generally offensive his movie is.” – InSession Film Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Scream 7 is the disappointing ending (please) to a series that hamstrung itself and lost the point of why people liked it to begin with. Nostalgia isn’t fun when it’s all that’s left.” – The Curb Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 5/5 EDIT “Erotic, carnal, defiant, sumptuous, and mad – "Wuthering Heights" is a work of devastating craving and infatuation.” – The Curb Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% EDIT “Mother of Flies is an outstanding folk horror work of art where the script is darkly lyrical and the visual elements at times simply jaw-dropping.” – AWFJ.org Feb 1, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 81% EDIT “The kind of transcendent and wise prose Macdonald shared with the world can’t be communicated in the language of visuals or performance. H is for Hawk is a good film, but it feels like it has too many "holes and absences" to be a great one.” – InSession Film Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Skirt Day (2009) 60% EDIT “Skirt Day is one of Adjani’s most realistic, yet fraught, films.” – InSession Film Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Camille Claudel (1988) 90% EDIT “Isabelle Adjani brings Claudel out of obscurity and into the light as a groundbreaking sculptor whose personal relationships eventually soured to the point where she became a shut-in living in a small room working night and day.” – InSession Film Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Quartet (1981) 47% EDIT “An exquisitely made film with a powerful performance by Adjani as the woman who believes herself at least partially loved by two men.” – InSession Film Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Possession (1981) 87% A EDIT “Possession is more than a horror film, and more than a cult film – it is art under extreme pressure. Sam Neill’s performance is excellent, but no one will ever doubt that the film belongs to Adjani.” – InSession Film Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) 93% EDIT “Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht needed to be at once profoundly beautiful and as seductive as it was horrific. Isabelle Adjani’s ethereal Lucy that provides part of the immense beauty of the film, especially when she is paired with the beastly Klaus Kinski.” – InSession Film Jan 29, 2026 Full Review The Story of Adele H (1975) 93% EDIT “L’Histoire d’Adèle H. is an extremely accomplished work for a young actor and Isabelle Adjani commanded the screen with her emotionality.” – InSession Film Jan 29, 2026 Full Review
