Kim Novak's Vertigo (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Built around interviews at Novak’s home on the wild Oregon coast, the flow of the movie has the loosey-goosey feel of actual conversation. What emerges most clearly is endurance. ” – Financial Times Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Much about what ensues is cheerfully hokey. ...But there is also a real joie de vivre to how Mackenzie and writer Ben Hopkins contrive twist after twist, making actors and genres collide as if playing with mismatched action figures.  ” – Financial Times Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 80% 2/5 EDIT “With giddy glee, Borgli is testing our discomfort with the taboo he drops into the heart of his film. Yet he also seems sure you will think The Drama (almost) as brilliant as he does. ” – Financial Times Apr 1, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 44% 2/5 EDIT “The movie isn’t terrible. (It is also a long way from good.) Mostly, it is a headscratcher: pieces from different puzzles it was clearly hoped would simply, seamlessly fit together. Spoiler alert: they don’t.” – Financial Times Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Director Mascha Schilinski’s jagged, heady film is a dark collage of girlhood through time, most clearly held together by a setting in the same farmhouse in Altmark, north-east Germany.” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 4/5 EDIT “If it sounds like 15 movies at once, that is how it plays. Both cranked very high indeed, Buckley and Bale seem to be sharing a private game of anything-you-can-do.” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Nuance is not the film’s game. But there is also real conviction to the blur of wartime history, family melodrama, raw Shakespearean heft and mystical woo-woo. ” – Financial Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is invested with care and energy, sprinkled with gags and neat flights of fancy. ” – Financial Times Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Sirāt makes a ticklish presence in Oscar conversations: it has the flavour of a cult film, a grimy gatecrasher among the tuxedos. And yet this isn’t the trippy sprawl of another generation’s midnight movie. ” – Financial Times Feb 26, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “A lot here works. Seyfried is great. Neither the mystery of faith nor the cost it can have are downplayed.” – Financial Times Feb 26, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Under the sober political drama, then, we find a loopy cult movie. Under that, though, is a film that is both outlandish and deadly serious, about real-life sharks and devils, and the way dictators bring the worst kind of anarchy. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “You could call the film a comedy about motherhood. I have certainly never seen a funnier scene involving a hamster. It also feels like a nightmare. At all points, though, the vibe is unnerving. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “The movie is too long, and headbangingly unsubtle, though it doesn’t always feel like a chore. It is, however, still more curious than it sounds. ” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The Moment is thus a spoof with a bad dream edge, a jangly in-joke. For it to make sense, you will need a basic conversance with the success of Brat...” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The sheer scale of the Presley charisma is still Imax ridiculous. But you also see the precision skill with which a great bandleader worked the crowd and his musicians.” – Financial Times Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% 4/5 EDIT “At times, the mood is almost larky. (Lamia travels with her cockerel, Hindi, a star.). But the small, grave face of Nayyef — who has never acted before, and gives a great performance — provides the soul of the film. ” – Financial Times Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Marbles (2025) 4/5 EDIT “At the heart of this intelligent film, then, is a grave historical wrong — and a deep vein of nuance.” – Financial Times Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Some of the visual ideas are impressively weird... You may tire, though, of the movie’s urge to constantly give us new things to gawp at ” – Financial Times Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Hamlet (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Malik and Chaddha are very good; likewise Morfydd Clark as Ophelia and Timothy Spall as Polonius. But this is Ahmed’s film, his Hamlet a dervish of fury and sorrow, whirring on the brink.  ” – Financial Times Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Just as important for a wham-bam action movie, the aggro is well choreographed, and slightly mad. ” – Financial Times Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “If Breathless was a cool revolution, Nouvelle Vague is warmly nostalgic. ” – Financial Times Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The film is also a rarity: a smart and charming crowd-pleaser, with natural sweetness. And make no mistake, other filmmakers would have drowned in syrup a tale about two famously dark subjects: divorce and stand-up comedy. ” – Financial Times Jan 29, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Restructuring has never been so bloody.” – Financial Times Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Director Joe Carnahan brings snap, but this is basic beer-and-pizza stuff with a high-end finish.” – Financial Times Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “The cast do admirable work in a film that must have tested them too. The result is exactly as harrowing as it needs to be.” – Financial Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review
