'The Bluff' Review: A Wick-lit Pirate Action-thriller That Fails to Leave a Lasting Impression
The Bluff is a competently made pirate action-thriller that lands as you would expect for a better streaming original but there is very little here to make it stand out as anything more than a fun, and instantly forgotten watch.

'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die' Review: Gore Verbinski is Back in a Blast of Anti-AI Sci-fi Comedy
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a fantastic return for Gore Verbinski. Packed with fun ideas, enjoyable characters and an original take on the time travel formula with a venomously anti-AI approach that's refreshingly blunt and satirical in all the best ways.

'The Moment' Review: Charli XCX Stars in This Entertaining Mockumentary Satire
The Moment will no doubt land more with fans of the Brat era, but for casual viewers this is still a solidly entertaining, at times bitingly funny, chaotic and unpredictable romp.

'Cold Storage' Review: A Limp and Thoroughly Boring Horror-comedy That Wastes a Fun Premise
Cold Storage is derivative, tonally confused, visually cheap and missing the practical-effects creativity that could have made it a fun viral horror-comedy.

'Wasteman' Review: A Brutally Authentic, Harrowing and Gripping Portrayal of the British Prison System
Wasteman is a brutally grounded, intense and often uncomfortable British prison drama that lands with constant unease.

'The Testament of Ann Lee' Review: Amanda Seyfried Gives Her All in This Visual Feast of an Historical Musical
The Testament of Ann Lee is a spellbinding, exhausting, and singular experience anchored by a career-best performance from Amanda Seyfried, and one of the most visually and musically distinctive films of the year.

'The Voice of Hind Rajab' Review: A Harrowing, Powerful and Hard to Watch Docudrama
The Voice of Hind Rajab is a harrowing, deeply upsetting experience, and one of the most unforgettable films of the year. It’s not an easy watch, nor should it be.

'Last Ride' Review: An Arctic Cable Car Nightmare That Nearly Reaches the Peak
Given the small budget and simplistic plot that has a lot of work to do in order to keep us intrigued, Last Ride is highly commendable. The naturalistic bond between the boys hooks you in and manages to keep you invested, whilst the slew of threats and horrors ensure you’re kept on your toes.

'Whistle' Review: Creative Deaths, Likeable Characters but a Ghost of a Script
Whistle is a stylish, gory throwback that knows its horror history but is too content to repeat it. While Dafne Keen’s performance and some genuinely gnarly kill sequences keep it afloat, the film’s lack of original narrative depth and its over-reliance on established tropes prevent it from becoming a new classic.

'Crime 101' Review: A Solid and Well-made, But Derivative Homage to Michael Mann’s Crime Classics
Crime 101 is highly derivative of many classic crime-thrillers (especially Michael Mann’s work), but the vintage vibe, slow-pacing and character-focused approach makes for a better than expected heist-thriller.

'Wuthering Heights' Review: Emerald Fennell’s Bold, Brash and Visually Mesmerising Romance
Wuthering Heights is a bold, beautiful, intoxicating, brash statement of a film, which showcases genuine heartbreak and sensitivity yet also does find its feet occasionally stepping in trashy paperback fluff with a little stuffiness in the second half.

'The Strangers: Chapter 3' Review: A Familiar Formula, With More Patience Than Payoff
The Strangers: Chapter 3 is a polarizing conclusion. Departing from 2008’s less is more vibe and pivots into a dense, lore-heavy nightmare.

'Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up' Review: A Charming Theatrical Return for the Endearing Looneys
Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up is a very easy film to like. It’s funny, visually delightful with its vibrant 2D animation, and made with a clear affection for these characters and their legacy.

'Send Help' Review: McAdams and O'Brien are Stranded, Sarcastic, and Trying to Survive
Send Help isn’t subtle, it’s a wild, witty, ride. It’s an exploration of human behaviour when civilisation is gone and roles are reversed. If you like your comedies with a side of tension, your survival stories with a twist of absurdity, and your films filled with energy and heart, this is one island trip you don’t want to miss.

'The Investigation of Lucy Letby' Review: The Case That Won’t Stay Closed
The Investigation of Lucy Letby is less about uncovering new facts than about exploring how narratives are built, consumed, and sustained. As a documentary, it is measured, absorbing, and ethically thorny.

'Greenland 2: Migration' Review: A Generic, but Entertaining Apocalyptic-Survival Thriller
Greenland 2: Migration is the definition of a diminishing-returns sequel. It doesn’t disgrace the original, but it also doesn’t justify its own existence beyond being another sturdy Gerard Butler vehicle to be dumped in January.

'H is for Hawk' Review: A Meditation on Grief That's Visually Gorgeous While Equal Parts Cold and Moving
H is for Hawk is a gentle, visually rich, and thoughtfully acted exploration of grief that values subtlety over catharsis. It doesn’t always find the emotional lift its subject promises, but Claire Foy’s performance, the extraordinary presence of Mabel the Hawk, and the film’s calm, observational beauty make it a worthwhile watch.

'The Wrecking Crew' Review: High-Octane Action Meets Brotherhood in This Entertaining Buddy-Cop Adventure
The Wrecking Crew is an enjoyable ride that delivers exactly what it promises: solid action, strong lead chemistry, and a heartfelt core. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it entertains, and for fans of the genre, that’s enough.

'No Other Choice' Review: Park Chan-wook Turns Corporate Desperation into Killer Satire
No Other Choice is a bitingly funny, poignant, sharp, shocking blend of desperation, satire, irony alongside a killer (pun intended) crime thriller hook. It is one of the best looking films I have seen in recent memory, the performances are excellent and the creativity sparks from the screenplay.

'Shelter' Review: A Generic Retreat After Statham’s R-Rated Resurgence
Shelter unfortunately leans more into some of Liam Neeson’s more generic recent action outings rather than Statham’s better works. It’s disposable, lacking stylistic flair and a unique hook and is only really carried by solid performances from the two leads and a couple of entertaining action beats.
