Return to Silent Hill (2026) Andrew Murray While Gans faithfully recreates the eerie setting, Return to Silent Hill’s baffling departures from the 2001 video game and its remake fail to capture the core of what made James’s journey through this town so remarkable.

The Regulars (2025) Andrew Murray The Regulars is a feature that appeals to a very specific audience. It’s a movie about film lovers made by film lovers set within one of the UK’s most famous cinemas.

Universal (2025) Andrew Murray Despite its handful of missteps along the way, a collection of impressive performances from its leads and a thoughtful approach to its themes ends Universal on a surprisingly poignant and bittersweet note.

Rule Breakers (2025) Andrew Murray Although flawed, Rule Breakers contains a meaningful message about female empowerment that’s hard to ignore.

In Your Dreams (2025) Andrew Murray There are tonnes of great visuals, just as much creativity, and a heartfelt story at its core.

4/5
She's the He (2025) Andrew Murray Amongst all the innuendo, gross-out gags, and a satirical depiction of transgender fearmongering that’s fittingly accompanied by the camp anthem Time Warp, McCarthy delivers a tremendously touching coming-of-age comedy about friendship and identity.

4/5
Sunlight (2024) Andrew Murray It’s an altogether absurdist affair full of dark humour, but it’s a film that never loses sight of the humanity underneath the mask.

4/5
Twinless (2025) Andrew Murray Twinless is a movie that catches you by surprise. Not only does its reveal have the power to stay with viewers long after the credits roll, but the depth that Sweeney takes its themes and characters to surpasses all expectations.

Fwends (2025) Andrew Murray Somerville authentically captures two friends navigating their 20s as they walk through the Victorian capital.

2/5
The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Andrew Murray Trapped on a yacht where every one of the ultra-wealthy guests is a suspect, this feature had the potential to be an enthralling mystery. Frustratingly, its trifecta of bland characters, undercooked plotlines, and uneven pacing sinks most of the fun.

4/5
Steve (2025) Andrew Murray Steve is a film about what can happen when someone falls between the cracks. It’s a thoughtful exploration of mental health that’s carried throughout by a strong cast all the way to its triumphant conclusion.

4/5
Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough (2025) Andrew Murray Reality Is Not Enough is as much of an extension of Welsh’s enigmatic personality as it is a supplement to his writing career. It’s funny, thoughtful and hallucinogenic. It’s pure Welsh, and it’s fantastic.

Tape (2024) Andrew Murray Binzhan Tong eloquently explores themes of guilt, power and trauma in this superbly performed feature.

5/5
From Ground Zero (2024) Andrew Murray The fact that this film got made is an amazing feat in itself. From Ground Zero isn’t just an anthology of excellent short films; it’s an incredibly important feature that gives these filmmakers the power to have their voices heard.
Posted Sep 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Milk Teeth (2025) Andrew Murray Loaded with atmosphere and allegory, Mincan crafts a superb coming-of-age story that eloquently tackles a generational zeitgeist of 1980s Romania.

3/5
The Cut (2024) Andrew Murray The Cut is a unique spin on an underdog tale. Despite boasting some impressive performances, its lacklustre character study culminates in an underwhelming finale.

3/5
Row (2025) Andrew Murray From its atmospheric ocean setting to its suffocating sense of cabin fever, Row has the bones of a fantastic survival thriller. It’s disappointing, then, that its ill-conceived narrative structure undermines everything that this feature gets right.

3/5
Eenie Meanie (2025) Andrew Murray Eenie Meanie is a light-hearted but ultimately by-the-numbers affair that prefers to stay in the middle of the road.

2/5
The Pickup (2025) Andrew Murray The Pickup is not the worst film that either Murphy or Davidson has starred in. However, it may be their most unremarkable.

3/5
Chicken Town (2025) Andrew Murray Chicken Town is not a serious feature, and it never attempts to be one. It’s a light-hearted romp with likeable characters and a lot of great gags.

2/5
Futra Days (2024) Andrew Murray While the filmmaker makes the most of the grungy, low-budget aesthetic to deliver some striking visuals, its Eternal Sunshine approach to examining relationships lacks spirit and is often difficult to follow.

3/5
Saint Clare (2024) Andrew Murray While Peirone’s stylish direction and an extraordinary performance from Thorne elevate the intriguing premise, an underbaked script unfortunately causes Saint Clare to fall flat.

3/5
Salvable (2025) Andrew Murray Although it lacks the sharp social commentary of similar genre pieces, the melancholic atmosphere and exquisite performances make Salvable worth watching.

Heads of State (2025) Andrew Murray Featuring huge stars and even bigger action scenes, Heads of State is the definition of a popcorn film.

Heavyweight (2025) Andrew Murray Christopher M Anthony has created the sports equivalent of Boiling Point as the pressure continues to build throughout the lead-up to the first bell.

Holloway (2024) Andrew Murray Holloway attempts to reframe the perception of prisoners while drawing attention to the UK’s flawed care system. By its very design, though, this film cannot help but reproduce the tropes it wants to undo.

The Occupant (2025) Andrew Murray Keijzer has created an effective exploration of grief that’s fronted by an extraordinary Balinski.

The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) Andrew Murray The Ballad of Wallis Island may not push the boundaries of genre, but it hits all the right notes to become an endearing little gem.

Fountain of Youth (2025) Andrew Murray Although there’s some entertainment to be gleaned from Fountain of Youth, it fails to capture the magic of the much better films it takes its inspiration from.

The Girl in the Snow (2025) Andrew Murray Anchored by a strong performance from Bellugi and shaped by an engrossing atmosphere, Hémon delivers an intriguing, if occasionally impenetrable, feature debut.

Two to One (2024) Andrew Murray Although a lack of conflict and focus often leaves Two to One feeling like a missed opportunity, its strong central performances and heartfelt execution provide enough charm to make for an entertaining time.

Riefenstahl (2024) Andrew Murray Touching upon themes of legacy and memory along the way, Veiel crafts a fascinating, if at times dry, character study of its subject.

3/5
The Penguin Lessons (2024) Andrew Murray Setting a tale of animal friendship against one of human cruelty is an odd choice that doesn’t always work. However, Coogan and his penguin co-star bring enough charm to The Penguin Lessons for viewers to get behind what the film is trying to do.

Freaky Tales (2024) Andrew Murray Although Fleck and Bodem don’t fully deliver on the freakiness that was promised, there are enough good ideas and standout performances to make Freaky Tales an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Sebastian (2024) Andrew Murray Despite some murky character motivation, Sebastian stands as a well-made feature from Mäkelä, which explores some compelling ideas surrounding artistic creation and companionship.

Time Travel Is Dangerous (2024) Andrew Murray Time Travel is Dangerous is British comedy at its finest. It’s nonsensical in all the right ways and is guaranteed to be a great time for anyone who watches.

The Wedding Banquet (2025) Andrew Murray Although its cliché-filled plot dampens what makes this updated take on Lee’s film compelling, the cast’s strong performances are enough to keep viewers entertained throughout.

In the Lost Lands (2025) Andrew Murray Anderson’s commitment to his vision results in some entertaining moments throughout the heroes’ perilous journey... An uninspiring plot filled with underwritten characters and motivations, however, prevents this movie from meeting its potential.

Santosh (2024) Andrew Murray Though it’s the gripping murder-mystery that hooks viewers, it’s Suri’s intelligent and keenly observed social commentary where Santosh shines the brightest.

3/5
Here (2024) Andrew Murray Conceptually, the film’s attempt to tell a familial drama on a cosmic scale is fascinating. In practice, though, the script is overloaded with so much sentimentality that it harms the intimate story this film wants to tell.

4/5
Sister Midnight (2024) Andrew Murray Karan Kandhari‘s Sister Midnight is a visually arresting feature that’s coated in a delightfully dark and offbeat comedic style.
