Warfare (2025)
93%
“Co-directors Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza craft an unflinching, sharply authentic snapshot of combat that’s not about honour and glory, but desperation, fear and survival. It’s not for the faint-hearted either.” –

The Woman in the Yard (2025)
44%
“A raw central performance from Danielle Deadwyler brings some depth to this Blumhouse thriller, which otherwise maintains a creepy atmosphere but mostly trades in familiar psychological horror tropes and an abundance of jump scares. ” –

Mr. Burton (2025)
83%
“The dynamic between Jones, as kindly school teacher Philip Henry Burton, and Lawtey’s impressionable teenager Richie is at the heart of this narrative, and is compelling enough to interest even those who already know Burton’s intriguing backstory.” –

Welcome Home Baby (2025)
“[Welcome Home Baby] leans heavily into psychological thriller tropes, but delivers a hypnotic atmosphere and a gripping central performance from Julia Franz Richter.” –

Long Day's Journey Into Night (2025)

Tornado (2025)
“Maclean has spent the decade since Slow West researching, writing and preparing Tornado and, while he wears his influences -- Kurosawa, John Ford, Sergio Leone et al -- proudly on his sleeve, the result is an authentic, multicultural period drama. ” –

Third Act (2025)

“As Tadashi learns more about how his father's past shaped his character, and his creativity, we can also see how a young Robert was also uneasy with his Asian 'otherness'. This is also a fascinating look at the art of filmmaking itself.” –

Ricky (2025)
89%
“While this expansion of Frett’s 2023 short of the same name may, at times, feel like it’s being cornered into making a political statement, the nuanced central performance from Stephan James largely prevents the message from overwhelming the story.” –

Companion (2025)

“Companion looks fantastic. But, underneath that glossy surface, it makes some biting comments about power dynamics, free will, and what it really means to be human. ” –

“Editor Carolina Siraqyan knits together hundreds of hours of private and public footage, giving the film a dynamic pace to match its subject’s energy and foregrounding the home videos that provide a window into the ’real’ Selena.” –

The Damned (2024)

“Icelandic director Thordur Palsson effectively turns this simple set-up into a chilling story of haunted psyches. The genre’s now-familiar post-trauma tropes are elevated by strong performances and a striking visual identity.” –

Get Away (2024)

“The horror and comedy never quite gel, and it’s not long before the pace begins to drag -- despite the brisk running time. With the island being so small and the characters being so broad, there’s not far for the story to go.” –

Speak No Evil (2024)

“This remake of the 2022 Danish-language chiller maintains much of what made the original so effective but... loses some of its bite. Nevertheless, a striking performance from James McAvoy keeps things interesting.” –

The Return (2024)

“The film moves at a languid pace, with long periods of silence, and there’s not a great deal of action until a final cathartic orgy of violence. Yet this world is richly drawn. ” –
