Melania (2026) 6% 2/5 EDIT “In the end, what transpired was mostly dull behind-the-scenes movements offering little new insight into the private world of Mrs Trump.” – Daily Express (UK) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 2/5 EDIT “You’d think the plot would be a fun murder mystery with a detective looking for the real killer, while also thematically commenting on the rapid rise of AI and the moral complexities around it. Sadly, it’s much more tedious than that.” – Daily Express (UK) Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “The mystery of who’s bent and the third act’s action sequences just about keep one’s attention.” – Daily Express (UK) Jan 20, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The Bone Temple is a smaller, but no less impactful, movie than its predecessor; one that mixes its creatively surreal horror imagery with the meaty intellectual depths of Garland’s script.” – Daily Express (UK) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 2/5 EDIT “Scene after scene, we watch the Shakespeares at home, living life with not very much happening over two hours of screen time. ” – Daily Express (UK) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “You’ll leave with a smile on your face, a tear in your eye and a heart warmed by more than the usual sentimentality.” – Daily Express (UK) Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 91% 5/5 EDIT “Hawke is so masterful in portraying the unfulfilled yearnings of this musical great’s public and private ambitions that the emotional weight of it all stays with you well after the credits roll. ” – Daily Express (UK) Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Sisu 2 doesn’t quite reach the heights of the original, but there’s still plenty here for action fans to enjoy.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 24, 2025 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% 3/5 EDIT “Nicolas Cage is very much in the experimental independent film stage of his career and his latest movie is as wild as ever.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Wicked For Good’s greatest strength is its musical numbers.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 4/5 EDIT “The first act is full of energy, flicking between globe-trotting scenes with all the lightness and humour of a Downton Abbey film.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 13, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 63% 3/5 EDIT “The set pieces are entertaining enough with Wright’s signature whizzy direction, if not somewhat unbelievable for someone attempting to survive in such a life-and-death situation.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 11, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 3/5 EDIT “It's enjoyable enough while it lasts, but a largely forgettable televisual film. ” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% 4/5 EDIT “At two hours, it does all go on a bit, but Day-Lewis’ performance is worth the ticket price alone. A welcome return and hopefully not his last.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “After a slow start, Bugonia really gets going once the kidnapping has taken place. That's before several literally jaw-dropping moments that simultaneously shock and amuse manifest in the film's second half.” – Daily Express (UK) Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Much like the casinos of Macau, much was promised at the start, but little was delivered by the end.” – Daily Express (UK) Oct 28, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “The film’s intense narrative is masterfully made all the more devastating by Volker Bertelmann's harrowing score.” – Daily Express (UK) Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3/5 EDIT “Writer-director Scott Cooper’s biopic is ambitious and bold, capturing such a pivotal moment in the star’s career, all while he was living with depression. Yet this 2 hour feature overstays its welcome, becoming more sleepy than soulful.” – Daily Express (UK) Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Del Toro’s tendency towards fairy tale imagery and the Roman Catholic themes of his youth are as present as ever in his take on the sci-fi horror classic; with its whimsical set pieces, howling statues and cabinets of oddities.” – Daily Express (UK) Oct 16, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 2/5 EDIT “What had a lot of potential at kickoff, with seemingly promised explorations of identity and Faustian bargains, never really comes together in a satisfying way.” – Daily Express (UK) Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 2/5 EDIT “A film that taps out pretty early in terms of interest. ” – Daily Express (UK) Sep 29, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Accompanied by a fast-paced, scatty score from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, with gorgeous VistaVision visuals, One Battle After Another is a solid, but not hugely accessible, outing from Anderson.” – Daily Express (UK) Sep 18, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 37% 4/5 EDIT “Featuring plenty of humour amid sentimental (but thankfully not saccharin) sequences, it's heartfelt, relatable, and you might even well up with a smile.” – Daily Express (UK) Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Swiped (2025) 44% 2/5 EDIT “Where other films in this genre built on great writing, humour and character depth, this dating app movie is thin and uninspiring in comparison and that’s despite the great material available.” – Daily Express (UK) Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The franchise creator and screenwriter masterfully weaves the various personal storylines together, making sure that all the fan favourites get their special moments.” – Daily Express (UK) Sep 3, 2025 Full Review
