Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025)
88%
“Mad About the Boy is undoubtedly a good time at the cinema, and the script -- co-written by Helen Fielding, who was widowed in 2016 -- skilfully balances the comic and the tragic. ” –

We Live in Time (2024)
79%
“As undemanding viewing goes, We Live In Time has much to recommend it. The script is decent, the interiors mouthwatering; it’s nice to see two of Britain’s biggest stars in the same room saying mostly sensible sentences in their native accents for once. ” –

Twisters (2024)
75%
“Powell and the howling, hulking twisters that careen about, ruining things, are two good reasons to see this film. Many viewers, I suspect, won’t find it as charming as the original, but it still offers a great ride.” –

The Bikeriders (2023)
80%
“The film can’t dispel an ambient sense of its own pointlessness. Scenes don’t build towards anything, but shuffle decorously by. ” –

Treasure (2024)
42%
“Neither Fry nor Dunham manage to disappear into their roles; and the film never really springs to life, plodding from moment to moment with leaden feet.” –

Face Down (2023)
3/5
“The film skilfully shows how brutal acts rarely happen in a vacuum, but reverberate for many years, their darkness passed down the generations like a curse.” –

1/5
“So lacking in fun, pep, humour and charm that only its spectacularly poor taste stands out.” –

Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023)
63%
3/5
“This is a film bursting with colour and movement, with talky, dramatic sections ceding to epic dance sequences involving hundreds of impeccably turned-out performers. ” –

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023)
99%
“The novel that Blume long prevented from being made into a film has finally received the big-screen treatment. The result, thank goodness, is lovely: tender, funny, at points very moving, and full of precise and careful performances. ” –

Much Ado (2022)
83%
2/5
“This palpably low-budget effort brings many of the problems you might expect: dodgy lighting, dispiriting costumes and a washed-out palette. But there are other issues that can’t quite be attributed to money...” –

Radji (2021)
4/5
“By the time the community finally gets a verdict in its legal battle to preserve its right to cross the Sweden-Norway border, this is a film that ensures you really care.” –
