Wuthering Heights (2026) 60% 3.5/5 EDIT “However, any im-purists out there willing to go with the freaky flow of this strange and mercurial offering will love where it intends to leave them.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Melania (2026) 11% 1/5 EDIT “The whole vibe is eerily off from start to finish, leaving you feeling as if you’ve spent 105 minutes alone on a merry-go-round in an abandoned amusement park.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Saipan (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “The fury, frustration and folly of it all – and the seismic effect it has on the whole of Ireland afterwards – remains astonishing to this day. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “As directed by actor Bradley Cooper, Is Thing On? benefits big-time from training its focus on how its two lead characters will move forward from their fateful decision.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hawke’s selflessly broken portrayal of the self-sabotaging Hart makes for quite a powerful (and occasionally jarring) contrast with all the stylish nostalgia on display. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 2.5/5 EDIT “Visually, the multi-device overload of it all can be dazzling at times, but when it comes to making sense of how poor old Raven came to be strapped to a chair and arguing with a hologram, Mercy gets harder to follow by the minute. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Both McAdams (kooky, yet deceptively cunning) and O’Brien (cocky, yet comically unperceptive) are fantastic here, hitting just the right notes of derision and danger demanded by a cleverly constructed screenplay.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “The fashion is on point, the attitude is off the charts, the black-and-white imagery is stunning, and the birth of the fabled ‘French New Wave’ (and its lasting influence) is there for all to see.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “The work of Jessie Buckley in Hamnet features some of the most intricate, expressive and utterly convincing acting of the modern era. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% EDIT “Straightforwardly silly cartooning that puts a smiles on the dial without testing the patience.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “Hugh pouring on the charm and putting on a show, with many a Neil Diamond earworm to lift the spirits. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “It is a movie that earns your trust carefully, and makes good on the deal in so many wonderful ways. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “This amiable comedy-drama should prove to make a great fit for [Fraser's] talents. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Marching Band (2024) 96% EDIT “A huge hit in its native France, this uplifting, moving and subtly funny affair has been making friends right around the world. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “Sweeney is well-cast as the au pair with a criminal record who lands a job with Seyfried’s dangerously unhinged woman of wealth.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “While there will be several sightings of those sinister slithers, the emphasis here is more on Jumanji-style family comedy than blood-drenched biting and fighting.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% EDIT “While the movie does lose some vital narrative momentum in its final act, a delicately convincing emotional balance held by Mescal and O’Connor throughout is rewarding through to the bitter(sweet) end.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Like the Avatars that came before it, Fire and Ash conjures true movie magic when it comes to complete and total immersion in another world.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 76% 2.5/5 EDIT “This is a fresh and lively concept for a rom-com, and the movie confidently sets it all up in fine style.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 1.5/5 EDIT “The sequel struggles to raise pulses or pique curiosity throughout.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 2/5 EDIT “There is a lot – no, make that way too much – going on in Ella McCay for it to stand a chance of making any coherent sense for too long.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Twiggy (2024) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “A fun, but in no way frivolous experience directed in lively fashion by Sadie Frost (Quant).” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Anchoring proceedings with impressive gravity is a brilliant performance by Russell Crowe as Hitler’s chillingly charismatic second-in-command, the notorious Hermann Goring.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “As always with a Knives Out affair, the expert construction of Wake Up Dead Man’s baffling murder teases performances of great wit, treachery and skill from a top-notch cast. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “The achingly slow pacing and deeply contemplative tone of this movie – reminiscent in many ways of the work of director Terrence Malick (Badlands, Tree of Life) – will not accommodate all tastes or attention spans. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 1, 2025 Full Review
