The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 96% 5/5 EDIT “The Magic Faraway Tree is an oak-solid family treat. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% 3/5 EDIT “It's never as funny as its writers seem to think it is, or as the insistent jazz soundtrack implies, but it bowls along engagingly enough.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 63% 2/5 EDIT “It's a comedy-horror in which a moderately suspenseful story is all too quickly possessed by abject silliness.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The violence in the Russian-language Two Prosecutors is mostly implied, but what a gripping, powerful and unsettling film it is.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Broken English (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “A fascinating if at times pretentiously wacky documentary about the eventful life of Marianne Faithfull.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 3/5 EDIT “It's certainly riotous.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Midwinter Break (2026) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Polly Findlay's film, adapted from Bernard MacLaverty's novel, is beautifully observed and exquisitely acted, but undeniably slow. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 2/5 EDIT “All the serious sci-fi soon becomes overwhelmed by slapstick, even featuring a whiskery Marx Brothers routine. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “This is all quite engaging and illuminating, and nicely evocative of time and place.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Tasters (2025) 3/5 EDIT “It's perfectly watchable, but feels like a slightly strained attempt to find a new perspective on the Second World War.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Turner & Constable (2026) 4/5 EDIT “An absorbing documentary.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 16, 2026 Full Review One Last Deal (2026) 3/5 EDIT “The narrative gets wildly overwrought and the film isn't in the same league as Locke, Steven Knight's riveting 2013 solo piece starring Tom Hardy. But fair's fair. At the end of the day, Dyer plays a blinder.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 57% 2/5 EDIT “If it were any cheesier I’d feel obliged to warn off the lactose intolerant.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 16, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 44% 2/5 EDIT “It’s hard to know whether to call it a comedy, a thriller, a neo-noir or a melodrama. Let’s settle for… dud.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Molly vs The Machines (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Molly vs The Machines is a powerful and timely documentary.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% 4/5 EDIT “The creator of Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight, has excelled himself -- and that’s a high bar of excellence -- with this gripping, high-octane story set during World War Two.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “The narrative seems set for a straightforward thriller about a man’s tenacious search for his child. But Spanish director Oliver Laxe has other ideas, crafting an increasingly surreal, weirdly watchable tale of dancing, drug-taking, sand and music.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2/5 EDIT “It’s a mix of the predictable and the preposterous.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Amanda Seyfried gives a tremendously impressive and fiercely committed performance, maintaining a credible north-of-England accent throughout.” – Daily Mail (UK) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 67% 3/5 EDIT “It's certainly no Spinal Tap. But it's modestly engaging.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Director Morgan Neville tries to lift his film above the ordinary with some wacky editing, but doesn't really need to, because the material is so good. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “I was captivated from its fantastic opening scene.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It is a rewarding but crazy film. You will rarely spend a more exhausting 113 minutes sitting down.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “As all this unfolds, McMau builds the tension superbly.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Anyone with even a passing interest will surely be spellbound both by his on-stage charisma, which we all knew about, and his profound musicality, which in truth had passed some of us by. The fusion of both makes for quite a spectacle.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review
