'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man' Review: A Fitting, but Familiar Televisual Send-off For Thomas Shelby
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is a stylish, silly and camp send-off for Thomas Shelby that still has Murphy putting in great work with a fun supporting cast. But while it's a conclusive ending, it rarely feels more than an extended episode of the show than it does a real film.

'The Bride!' Review: Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Wild Punk Monster Experiment
The Bride! is an electrically charged punk rock infused big messy swing of a flick that certainly won’t be for everyone. Buckley and Bale are giving their all, the film looks fantastic and has a myriad of bonkers moments.

'Hoppers' Review: A Solid Pixar Outing That Makes For One of Their Best in Years
a confident, colourful original with big ideas, inventive imagery and enough warmth to stick the landing. After a few years of “fine,” this felt like a genuine step back in the right direction.

'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.

'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.

'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.

'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.

'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.

'Saipan' Review: A Football-drama Framed as a Tense, 90-minute Thriller
Saipan may not fully justify its existence as a feature, but thanks to an incredible central performance from Éanna Hardwicke, solid support from Steve Coogan and a sharp, thriller-like presentation, it stands as a smart, contained drama that is far better than you would expect.

'Primate' Review: Short, Savage, and Unapologetically Bloodthirsty Monkey Mayhem
Primate does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a quickfire, bloodthirsty, darkly chuckle worthy and well scored creature feature that relishes in its grindhouse/exploitation vibes. The characters are ultimately there as prey and the story is barely existent, but it delivers what is to be expected.
