Dao (2026) Jonathan Romney Dao’s sheer capaciousness will either pull viewers in completely or deter them, but anyone willing to immerse themselves in its teasing drift between realism and experiment will find it a compelling proposition.

Rosebush Pruning (2026) Lee Marshall This spiky black comedy is smart, cool and occasionally funny, in a bleakly cynical way, but it’s also surprisingly dull for long periods.

Animol (2026) Lee Marshall The film is carried by the diligent performances of four young actors, led by a smouldering Tut Nyuot.

Mouse (2026) Wendy Ide Mouse is a rich, emotionally satisfying and superbly acted bittersweet drama about the bumpy journey of coming to terms with loss.

In A Whisper (2026) Amber Wilkinson The film unfolds over six days of mourning, and an impeccable ensemble cast and a vivid sense of time and place allow for a nuanced exploration of relationships under pressure; not just from personal prejudice, but also from wider social constraints.

Only Rebels Win (2026) Jonathan Romney Most successful overall is the interplay between Benrachid and Abbass. He has a warm, gentle demeanour, affectingly portraying an easy-going, tender-hearted but fallible young man, while Abbass gives a characteristically authoritative performance.

No Good Men (2026) Lee Marshall While the conventional nature of its rom-com set-up makes for a sometimes predictable viewing experience, this is nevertheless a laudable, attention-grabbing feature that coasts along breezily on sheer attitude and charm.

Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Lee Marshall Watching Everyone Loves Bill Evans is a little like being in a darkroom and seeing the image of a creative artist gradually emerge.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
A Prayer for the Dying (2026) Nikki Baughan A Prayer For The Dying has a potent sense of time and place.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Yellow Letters (2026) Nikki Baughan The film’s strength lies in its refusal to reduce its narrative to a simple case of moral blacks and whites.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Sunny Dancer (2026) Nikki Baughan While it sometimes loses itself to flights of melodramatic adolescent fantasy, it confidently wraps its heavy themes in a peppy, accessible package.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Who Killed Alex Odeh? (2026) Allan Hunter "Who Killed Alex Odeh?" may not provide many fresh revelations, but it successfully balances insight into a family tragedy while putting the case into a vital wider context.

Crime 101 (2026) Tim Grierson The film stands in the shadow of Michael Mann’s influential Southern California pictures, but a cast led by Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo add extra crackle to a story that salutes characters who are very good at their job.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Levitating (2026) Elizabeth Kerr Central to Levitating’s success, however, are the physical, almost acrobatic performances from Yunanda, Ayunda and Anggun.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Wuthering Heights (2026) Tim Grierson Very effective in its flamboyant flourishes but dialled up so high it can feel excessively brooding and melodramatic, the film makes no apologies for depicting desire as an addictive drug, inviting the audience to succumb to the story’s narcotic pull.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Silenced (2026) Nikki Baughan Silenced proves an essential, galvanising watch and deserves to find an audience.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Tim Grierson Gore Verbinski's first feature in nearly a decade taps into contemporary anxieties about how technology robs us of our humanity, but the execution proves too glib and too proud of its own nihilistic spirit.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
To Hold a Mountain (2026) Nikki Baughan Wider themes of endangered tradition, generational tension and cultural displacement are brought into sharp focus through quiet, respectful and keenly-edited observation.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuisance Bear  (2026) Tim Grierson The filmmakers honour a fragile ecosystem by refusing to believe there are easy solutions for its intractable problems.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Run Amok (2026) Tim Grierson Run Amok is too unfocused to fully come together as satire or commentary, and yet the picture seems an appropriately messy response to an American problem with no solution in sight. The film may have considerable flaws, but Mager hits a nerve.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) Tim Grierson Roher’s willingness to blindly accept any and all of his speakers’ pronouncements leaves The AI Doc feeling toothless.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
See You When I See You (2026) Tim Grierson Director Jay Duplass crafts a sensitive portrait of loss and forgiveness but, for a picture based on actual events, there is an artificiality to the proceedings that undercuts the material’s inherent poignancy.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Tim Grierson Turturro’s elegant performance ensures that the story never becomes too farfetched or sentimental. Like Harry, he’s surehanded and instantly appealing, delighting viewers with his ability to get away clean.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Shelter (2026) Nikki Baughan Heavy on action, light on plot, Shelter is no more or less than you would expect from a Jason Statham movie -- and that is enough to make this an entertaining crowd-pleaser.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Friend's House Is Here (2026) Tim Grierson Its rebellious spirit isn’t fiery but, rather, quiet and confident -- and all the more inspiring as a result.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Weight (2026) Tim Grierson Padraic McKinley’s feature directorial debut is a hugely confident survivalist tale that’s as bluntly effective as the primitive weapons employed in this bare-knuckle saga.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) Amber Wilkinson Throughout the film, three things stand out: the love between Rushdie and Griffiths; the resilience they had in the face of his catastrophic injuries; and the author’s humanistic attitude and sly sense of humour, which have categorically survived intact.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Chasing Summer (2026) Amber Wilkinson Chasing Summer is a smart, sexy crowdpleaser that should attract distributors who want to tap into female millennial audiences following its Sundance Premieres bow.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Shame and Money (2026) Allan Hunter Morina’s sombre tale retains a humanity that should help it resonate with audiences who have supported the films of Ken Loach and Stephane Brize.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
The Shitheads (2026) Tim Grierson The film refuses to go in predictable directions, unveiling bizarre side characters and travelling down odd narrative backroads. But that occasional bagginess also allows for a richly textured picture bursting with energy.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
One in a Million (2026) Allan Hunter Azzam and Macinnes become deeply embedded with the family, but it is these quiet moments of reflection and introspection that give a deeper sense of what is going on in their lives.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Soul Patrol (2026) Amber Wilkinson Although the Vietnam War and US civil rights history will hold more resonance for American audiences, the moving first-person testimony about the long shadow of conflict strikes a universal note that may interest specialist distributors elsewhere.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
All About the Money (2026) Allan Hunter O’Shea’s quiet persistence captures a complex, contradictory picture of an individual whose story touches on bigger issues of extreme wealth, power and privilege in modern America.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Union County (2026) Tim Grierson This heartfelt picture can be overly familiar, but Poulter’s intensely interior performance lends the proceedings sufficient edge and fascination.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Tim Grierson The conversations could not be more stimulating, offering a glimpse of Black America past and present that is joyous, defiant and sobering.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) Amber Wilkinson Wain and Marino have a tendency to milk a joke, which proves unfortunate when it was barely funny the first time. All of which is not helped by a baggy narrative that, despite its Wizard of Oz template, feels structurally weak.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Frank & Louis (2026) Nikki Baughan Ben-[Adir] and Morgan give balanced, sympathetic performances as Frank and Louis, hinting at the hidden depths and fragile vulnerabilities that lurk below hard-bitten surfaces.

The Invite (2026) Tim Grierson The film struggles to juggle its combination of rage and humour, satire and sadness, but the game performances mostly help gloss over the material’s familiarity.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Gallerist (2026) Amber Wilkinson Throughout, Portman, Ortega and Zeta-Jones bounce the script around like a ping-pong ball, with all three displaying meticulous timing. Costume designer Bénédicte Mouret also deserves particular credit not just for the outfits of the central characters.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
undertone (2025) Nikki Baughan Exceptional sound design and a superb central performance from... Nina Kiri, who is almost entirely alone on screen, mean the film casts a compelling spell, even when the narrative begins to succumb to genre cliché in its final reels.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
I Want Your Sex (2026) Tim Grierson Strap-ons and threesomes only take Sex so far as it eventually becomes a disappointingly underdeveloped and fairly conventional story about the perils of no-strings-attached sexual arrangements.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Amber Wilkinson It’s not every successful artist that would be willing to show the vulnerable side of fame and, as Charli says goodbye to brat, she also lays claim to a potential new chapter on screen.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Josephine (2026) Tim Grierson Josephine flirts with familiar horror tropes involving the possessed or evil child. But this is a far more humane and compassionate story, placing the terror in a painfully real-world situation.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Hanging by a Wire (2026) Allan Hunter Briskly edited by Will Grayburn, the film builds a sense of urgency as rescue efforts grow increasingly desperate. Sven Faulconer’s overly dramatic score slightly overeggs things, but Naqvi never loses sight of the boys and their ordeal.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) Wendy Ide Josef Kubota Wladyka’s third feature film is a playful and whimsical confection, a deft blend of escapist kitsch and the real emotional heft that Kikuchi brings to the role.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Amber Wilkinson Whether audiences agree that it has ’changed the narrative’ or not, it is a powerful testimony to a community’s ability to take control of their part of the story and give it a happy ending.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Lady (2026) Wendy Ide A vivid, bracingly energetic examination of sisterhood and female bonds in an unequal society.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Carousel (2026) Amber Wilkinson With a measured pace and elliptical style, it occasionally loses momentum -- but Chris Pine and Jenny Slate are compelling as the will they/won’t they couple at its heart, thanks to careful scripting that gives them space to deliver between the lines.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
The History of Concrete (2026) Tim Grierson Wilson sometimes struggles to make this feature-length documentary as consistently entertaining as his old series’ half-hour episodes. But he continues to mine surprisingly emotional moments from his wryly comic approach.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Nikki Baughan Working from Alex Garland’s screenplay, DaCosta and team deliver a visceral horror that both works on its own terms and satisfyingly evolves the ideas of a franchise which began in 2002.
