H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “While the sequences with the goshawk in flight are beautifully composed, there aren’t quite enough of them to make this a worthy successor to Kes or to compensate lovers of the original book. ” – The Arts Desk Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Motherboard (2024) EDIT “The result is an endearing addition to the coming-of-age genre and an absorbing portrait of a filmmaker juggling personal expression with parental responsibility.” – Sight & Sound Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% EDIT “The special effects are noticeably poor.” – Independent (UK) Jul 2, 2025 Full Review E.1027: Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea (2024) 3/5 EDIT “It‘s a bit like watching a very well-budgeted, ambitious student film inspired by the pages of a high-end property and design magazine in which the ambitious graphic designer is trying their hardest to come up with innovative layouts.” – The Arts Desk May 16, 2025 Full Review Riefenstahl (2024) 97% 4/5 EDIT “This archival treasure trove is cleverly deployed throughout Riefenstahl with artful graphic enhancement, a well-tempered score, sensitive sound design and sparse commentary.” – The Arts Desk May 10, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 78% 2/5 EDIT “Scraps of archive and clunky expository dialogue is all you'll find here. But as a gentle comedy for Coogan fans who don't mind watching a film with a complete lack of originality, The Penguin Lessons might be acceptable enough.” – The Arts Desk Apr 19, 2025 Full Review La Cocina (2024) 72% 3/5 EDIT “...the lengthy running time and the director’s inability to know when to let us ask for the bill and go home, stops La Cocina from being quite as great as it could have been.” – The Arts Desk Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Brief History of a Family (2024) 92% 2/5 EDIT “...the focus on cutting-edge technology and luxurious lifestyles means that the lasting impression Brief History of a Family makes is of a film made for the international art house market...” – The Arts Desk Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other (2024) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Frustratingly, [the] brief references to skeletons in closets don't get a further airing in this documentary; the filmmakers seem happy to remain inside their hermetic relationship.” – The Arts Desk Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% 2/5 EDIT “Nothing here is exactly original but familiar stories can still work magic, if they're well told. But to my eye, the animation is unappealing and clunky. ” – The Arts Desk Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Rumours (2024) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, it all wears a little thin. And while there are some excellent jokes and startling visuals, there isn’t enough going on in the movie to sustain its running time. ” – The Arts Desk Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Mediha (2023) 4/5 EDIT “The plight of persecuted minority groups around the world seems to be growing worse. As one form of response, a non-fiction film like Mediha works to make vivid the individual stories of people who might otherwise be reduced to statistics.” – The Arts Desk Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Sean Baker has crafted a high-velocity drama in three acts with a star-making turn by its lead Mikey Madison in the title role.” – The Arts Desk Nov 1, 2024 Full Review The Goldman Case (2023) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Even if an audience doesn’t relish the opportunity given by The Goldman Case to see the French legal system up close and observe how it differs from our own, the chance to see such a gripping performance by Worthalter is well worth the price of admission.” – The Arts Desk Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Lee (2023) 68% 2/5 EDIT “Clearly, a lot of effort has gone into art direction, costumes and make-up, but it's not quite good enough to tell a convincing story. ” – The Arts Desk Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Paradise Is Burning (2023) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Too many false endings make Paradise Is Burning feel longer than its 108 minute running time, and somehow slightly less than the sum of its parts. Still, it’ll be intriguing to see what happens to the young actors, particularly the very striking Delbravo.” – The Arts Desk Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Kneecap (2024) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Peppiatt has crafted a gem of a film by playing fast and loose with documentary conventions and injecting surreal humour alongside the militant politics.” – The Arts Desk Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Sticks to the familiar narrative and probably won’t offend diehard fans as some of spin-offs have done over the years, but its lacklustre script and indistinguishable characters are unlikely to inspire the devotion lavished on the first two films. ” – The Arts Desk Aug 16, 2024 Full Review The Nature of Love (2023) 92% 2/5 EDIT “Unsure if it's a sexy romcom, an essay on class divisions or an exploration of female sexuality, The Nature of Love seems unlikely to draw this summer’s absent cinemagoers back into the darkness. ” – The Arts Desk Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Rose (2022) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Rose is not a flashy film and won’t appeal to cynics or those with no experience of neurodivergence, but its heart is in the right place and it's well worth watching. ” – The Arts Desk Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Sasquatch Sunset (2024) 71% 2/5 EDIT “What Susquatch Sunset also doesn't do well is gauge its audience -- the onscreen violence and sexual acts would distress or puzzle a child and there’s not really enough narrative development for an adult.” – The Arts Desk Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Altogether Made in England is a rare treat for cinephiles. ” – The Arts Desk May 10, 2024 Full Review Evil Does Not Exist (2023) 91% 4/5 EDIT “While Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Evil Does Not Exist doesn’t cast a spell as strongly as his Oscar-winning hit Drive My Car, it is a thought-provoking film well worth seeing for anyone with an interest in ecology or a penchant for subtle thrillers. ” – The Arts Desk Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Io Capitano (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Recent years have seen superb cinematic portraits of the migrant experience in Europe, but Io Capitano gives us the most vivid rendering of the perilous journey itself and is all the more valuable for it. ” – The Arts Desk Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Monster (2023) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Monster is a haunting and exemplary piece of story telling about the influence of parents, both absent and present and the pressure children on the brink of puberty come under from their educators and peers. ” – The Arts Desk Mar 19, 2024 Full Review
