An Army of Women (2024) 100% 3/5 “The film is clear-sighted and involving, but at 84 minutes feels a little too condensed to get into its topic as deeply as it merits. Nevertheless, an eye-opener.” – Financial Times Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 67% 4/5 “Havoc is brutal, cynical, ultimately a little repetitive, but done with absolute expertise and brio — while the dark-city atmospherics (grit, graffiti, neon-lit sidewalk steam) are laid on with real elegance. ” – Financial Times Apr 25, 2025 Full Review April (2024) 94% 5/5 “You could easily imagine April screened in a gallery as video art: part of its brilliance is in the tension it maintains between storytelling and a hardcore commitment to the imagistic.” – Financial Times Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 83% 3/5 “It’s a little stiff, a little too earnest and tasteful, that bit too conscious of its own pedigree poise.” – Financial Times Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% 2/5 “Cattaneo has it made as far as Coogan’s palmiped co-star is involved: throw in a few quizzical beak-raised reaction shots and you can’t fail. But the combination of farce, stark political reality and a shameless ahh factor is decidedly awkward.” – Financial Times Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story (2024) 100% 4/5 “... A moving, insightful tribute to O’Brien as a formidable writer and a woman of remarkable complexity.” – Financial Times Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% 2/5 “This is a mechanical, sluggish affair, so dated it’s more like Bourne Yesterday. ” – Financial Times Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Holy Cow (2024) 97% 4/5 “This is not necessarily an outstanding or unusual production as contemporary French realism goes, but it is robust, enjoyable and unsentimental — the good stuff, raw and unpasteurised.” – Financial Times Apr 11, 2025 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 89% 5/5 “Despite the grimness of that political moment, the film maps a brief idyllic parenthesis of idealism and revitalised possibility after The Beatles split.” – Financial Times Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Return (2024) 78% 4/5 “The Return is not quite a classic, but it serves the spirit of the classics imposingly well.” – Financial Times Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 83% 2/5 “[Jones] can signify more with a gently furrowed brow than most performers can at full fury — which very nearly makes this mostly bland film into an implicit essay on contrasting acting styles.” – Financial Times Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 3/5 “Death of a Unicorn offers a light menu of macabre pleasures — sometimes too obvious, occasionally a touch too mystical to be entirely palatable. But the gougings are delivered expertly.  ” – Financial Times Apr 7, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% 2/5 “There’s some quirky visual invention here, but it soon devolves into a mess of explosions, pratfalls and creaky innuendo. ” – Financial Times Apr 5, 2025 Full Review La Cocina (2024) 75% 4/5 “Unashamedly heavy on the seasoning, certainly, but a feast nonetheless.” – Financial Times Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Santosh (2024) 100% 5/5 “As well as working rivetingly as a procedural thriller and a psychological study, Santosh has a hard, documentary-like edge, exploring Indian social phenomena with intense analytical focus.” – Financial Times Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% 3/5 “Flow shows both formidable technical brilliance and ingenuity, not least because it dispenses with dialogue — quizzical mews, chirrups and rhythmic doggy breaths replacing words.” – Financial Times Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Antidote (2024) 4/5 “Antidote makes cogent, compelling use of a narratively driven investigative format. Grozev’s unswayed commitment to unearthing hidden truths would be awe-inspiring even without the perils involved. ” – Financial Times Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Sister Midnight (2024) 96% 4/5 “But for all its abrasive agitation, Sister Midnight is also oddly poignant — and quite beautiful...” – Financial Times Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% 2/5 “Opus proves a shakily paced and altogether hackneyed media satire spiked with wilful eccentricities (a puppet show about Billie Holiday, a yurt full of oysters).” – Financial Times Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 3/5 “In reality, this London-set spy drama is a coolly paced affair that luxuriates in its own cerebral suaveness.” – Financial Times Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Where the Night Stands Still (2025) “The film is finely acted, elegantly executed and seemingly undemonstrative, but its thematic density will leave audiences musing after a resonant open ending. ” – Screen International Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Köln 75 (2025) “A vivid vehicle for a dynamic, often very funny Emde who, at 28, is convincing as a wide-eyed, sharp-mouthed teenage force of nature. ” – Screen International Mar 17, 2025 Full Review The Blue Trail (2025) “Centred on a winning performance from Brazilian stage and screen veteran Denise Weinberg, with support including international star Rodrigo Santoro, The Blue Trail is entrancingly unpredictable in its picaresque unravelling.” – Screen International Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Chaos: The Manson Murders (2025) 56% 2/5 “An Errol Morris film seriously grappling with the current epidemic of conspiracy theory would be worth watching, but Chaos is hardly that film. ” – Financial Times Mar 12, 2025 Full Review One of Them Days (2025) 94% 4/5 “Written by Syreeta Singleton, the film is ostensibly a generic race-against-time comedy, but it also goes the extra mile. For starters, this is an affecting but entirely unsentimental study of mismatched friendship.” – Financial Times Mar 12, 2025 Full Review
