A Pale View of Hills (2025)
61%
3/5
EDIT
“Every time the film returns to Japan, it comes to gentle life, helped by a beautiful score by the Polish composer Pawel Mykietyn, and a performance of radiant simplicity from Hirose.” –

How to Make a Killing (2026)
43%
3/5
EDIT
“Ford’s film has the bounce and zip of a Coen brothers comedy without the sharpness — you’re happy to see the hipsters and pastors offed, maybe a little too happy. ” –

Hoppers (2026)

3/5

“It’s an improvement on Elio, and still better than most of the competition. ” –

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026)
91%
3/5
EDIT
“The film’s almost exclusive focus of tortured father-son dynamics — with Tim Roth playing a Nazi sympathiser attempting to supplant Tommy in Duke’s affections — will carry too strong a whiff of Brut for some, but there is plenty to enjoy.” –

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025)
86%
3/5
EDIT
“The faux-primitivism of Corbet and Fastvold’s vision is likely to be embraced only by a few hardy souls. The furniture looks divine, though.” –

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025)
97%
5/5
EDIT
“EPiC accidentally demolishes the rationale behind most biopics. When documentaries are this star-spangled, who needs an imitation?” –

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)
92%
3/5
EDIT
“Linda’s problems are funny for an hour, but as they take a more serious turn towards hallucination and thoughts of suicide, the dramatic contrivance of her catalogue of misfortune wears thin and the film grows monotonous. ” –

The Secret Agent (2025)
98%
4/5
EDIT
“If you’re expecting a Brazilian Bourne, forget it. For a film about a man shadowed by two assassins, The Secret Agent has a daringly languid pace, with flashes of surreal comedy that belie the seriousness of what is afoot.” –

Crime 101 (2026)
88%
3/5
EDIT
“Layton’s direction is powerful but patient and Berry brings real bite to her insurance agent, who at 53 is prey to the bitter realisation that the system is not built in her favour.” –

Wuthering Heights (2026)
57%
2/5
EDIT
“Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is a work of posh-girl provocation: intent on pushing as many buttons as it can, mistaking Brontë’s effect for her intent. ” –

Send Help (2026)

“The film is as subtle a Looney Tunes cartoon, as violent and as fun.” –

Saipan (2025)

“The film is decent enough but lacks a compelling raison d’être.” –

H Is for Hawk (2025)

“Foy pulls through in every sense. She gives a remarkable performance — unshowy, precise and powerful.” –

The Rip (2026)
79%
3/5
EDIT
“The Rip is at its best as the noose of paranoia tightens around the house, suspicions fly, and Damon and Affleck take turns to accuse each other.” –

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

2/5

“Fiennes is pretty much the sole reason you may want to see this thinly clever, unpleasant film. ” –

Song Sung Blue (2025)
77%
2/5
EDIT
“In 20 years’ time Song Sung Blue will probably be a camp classic playing as part of a double-bill with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Showgirls. But to qualify for “so bad it’s good”, first you have to be bad … very bad.” –

Sentimental Value (2025)

5/5
EDIT
“Trier has plenty of both up his sleeve, combining the satisfactions of arthouse film-making with the emotional wallop of great melodrama.” –

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025)
92%
3/5
EDIT
“It’s all so clever that half an hour after the film is over you won’t remember a stitch of it. What stays with you is O’Connor taking time out from a bit of sleuthing to take confession from a member of his parish.” –

Blue Moon (2025)
90%
3/5
EDIT
“If Blue Moon feels destined to be seen by a fraction of the already small percentage of the population who enjoyed those films, Hawke’s scenes with Scott and Qualley nevertheless stand out.” –
