A ★★★½ review of Cutting Through Rocks (2025) Sara Shahverdi is opening up opportunities for the women of Iran A quiet film about the first elected council woman of a small Iranian village working little by little to make this a better place for ...

A quiet but groundbreaking film about the first major step in Iranian gender politics. Sara Shahverdi pokes through the cultural barriers but proves there is still work to be done as a society

A ★★★★½ review of Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Right from the get go you get a very ominous feeling from a woman on the telephone. It sets the tone for what the rest of the story is to come. Pavel Talankin is a videographer and events coordinator ...

A rare peek behind the curtain at life without the filter of government propaganda. It is first hand experience of what the perception is on the home front during the ongoing war and a voice to the frustrations of Russian citizens trapped in the system

A ★★★★ review of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Welcome back Mr Shelby, the man, the myth the legend.  A suitable final elegy for a suiting family: The Peaky fucking Blinders. We are at war, this time with the Nazis in a bit of revisionist history....

A suitable final elegy for a suiting family. The Peaky fucking Blinders return once more in a truly cinematic fashion. While it may leave loyalists with the same questions, a brilliantly nuanced Cillian Murphy & co bring a heartfelt conclusion the Shelby Saga.

A ★★★★½ review of Hoppers (2026) Live like a beaver and follow the pond rules, we’re all in this together Hoppers follows Mabel, a young girl who has a deep connection with nature. With the help of state of the art technology that in...

It’s a fun and surprisingly emotional story about mankind’s relationship with nature. One of Pixar’s best films in recent years, proving that the animation giant can still make great films.

A ★★★ review of Sirāt (2025) Rave culture goes hard, just maybe a little too hard. Luis is father on the hunt looking for his lost daughter who has been missing for months. Along with his son Esteban, they track her whereabouts b...

One moment it’s a straightforward family mystery film, the next it’s a bonkers Mad Max style road trip that doesn’t even know where it’s own path is headed. Sirat definitely left me speechless and in a trance with the unpredictable directions it went

A ★★★½ review of Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Beginning of a New Era (2024) Japanese horse racing takes new form in this reimagining of the sport. I’ll be honest in admitting this was my gf’s pick for movie night. I was definitely not educated in the horse racing world let al...

#Umamusume is an imaginative reinvention of a national pastime that follows in the spirit of other sports films past, albeit with some interesting character designs. The animation is stunning and the soundtrack will have your blood pumping. If only there was a 4DX showing

A ★★★★½ review of EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Warning: you may experience uncontrollable foot taps and the occasional big toe wiggle. This is normal when watching the King in his element. Epic is right in terms of the scale of his grandeur, but a...

A mosaic of epic proportions for the King himself. Baz Luhrmann turns these oldies into a party scene that will have you tapping your foot uncontrollably in your seat ready to wiggle it out. This is what concert movies in the theater are for.

An intense high octane adrenaline thriller about the American Dream that boasts a star studded roster even if it’s a bit been there done that. Don’t expect to learn anything new here

A ★★★★ review of The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Beauty is pain, plastic surgery back in the day would have been brutal Elvira dreams of one day marrying her Prince Charming but she is outshined by her stepsister whose natural beauty puts her looks ...

Much like The Substance, The Ugly Stepsister dives into the unrealistic expectations of beauty and the lengths women would go to be deemed presentable in society. Blichfeldt’s debut is truly provocative and a welcomed new vision in the horror space.

A ★★★★½ review of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) This is Nirvanna The Band. No not the one you are probably thinking of. This is about Canada’s little treasure from the internet that has grown a cult following over the years. I’ll be honest I’ve nev...

An unapologetically wholesome mockumentary from the next big comedy duo from Canada. It’s a well written comedy about friendship, music, even time travel. The story goes all over the place in hilariously unpredictable ways

A ★★★★★ review of Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) “This is what we do. We gather each other up. We say, the cup is half yours and half mine. We say, alone is the last place you will ever be.” In the end Andrea Gibson was not alone, they were surround...

A beautiful look at life and love in the final days of poet laureate Andrea Gibson’s battle with cancer. It’s stunningly shot against Gibson own spoken poetry in an experience that feels like a final warm embrace from an artist who valued connection

A ★★★ review of GOAT (2026) Sony is filling the void that Space Jam 2 left in the industry. Who says smalls can’t ball. As Marty Supreme would say, all you need is to dream big to be the GOAT. That’s just what Will Harris, an ac...

Despite Sony’s signature Goated animation, this underdog (or goat) story of dreaming big is enjoyable yet generic. It’s no Zootopia but at least producer Steph Curry brought out all the stars to this voice cast.

A ★★★½ review of The Wrecking Crew (2026) Wu Tang Clan ain’t nuthin to fuck with Jason Mamoa and Dave Bautista are packing heat in the most recent buddy action bro out from Prime. When two half brothers find out their father has been killed i...

It’s violent, action packed and a bit formulaic but it’s a fun time thanks to the dynamic between the two leads. The humor can sometimes be a little juvenile but there’s no denying the good time these two bring together.

A ★★★½ review of Wuthering Heights (2026) You just can’t please them all, and that’s not what Emerald Fennell is here for. She’s out to make her own “Wurthering Heights” the way she sees it. Hence her use of quotation marks in the title. The ...

As someone who didn’t read the book, Fennell’s #WurtheringHeights is a carnal passionate love story full of sex and tongue action. Elordi and Robbie shine as the two leads even if together their chemistry leaves much to be desired.

A charming fun time watch to see how music uplifts people, brings people together and inspires. That’s all thanks to the incredible chemistry between its two leads, It’s infectious and might even bring out a shoulder shimmy or two.

A ★★★½ review of Scarlet (2025) Mamoru Hosoda is back with another retelling of a classic story with a modern twist. This time tackling the weight of the great Shakespeare, Hosoda adapts Hamlet into a fantastical epic that transcend...

A fantastical epic that transcends time and space that becomes a bit convoluted in its own reinvention of classic source material. The strengths lies in Hosoda’s grandiose visual language that borrows from some of cinematic greats.

Charli XCX is here to remind you that she’s a 365 party girl bumpin that with a reimagination of the Brat era that’s at times overstimulating to the point you feel like you’ve been bumpin that with her.
