Sketch (2024) 95% 4/5 EDIT “This is a family film with an IQ higher than the average.” – Guardian Oct 21, 2025 Full Review It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This (2023) 3/5 EDIT “It’s all fairly entertaining until the scary stuff starts happening. As if the movie were coated in Gore-Tex, the frights simply don’t permeate the surface.” – Guardian Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “This film really is a sunny delight as the weather turns cold.” – Guardian Oct 15, 2025 Full Review The Twits (2025) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Any of Dahl’s gruesome sense of fun is obliterated by a bulldozing message of empathy and kindness... This is vile and revolting in all the wrong ways.” – Guardian Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Iron Ladies (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Forty years on, the hatred for Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady and the woman whose government defeated the strike, is still raw: “She was one iron lady, we were hundreds.”” – Guardian Oct 13, 2025 Full Review The Partisan (2024) 3/5 EDIT “It would be more or less forgettable but for an intense, seductive lead performance by Morgane Polanski, letting rip with her character’s tortured dark side.” – Guardian Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Des jours meilleurs (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Better Days is for the most part a modest, honest-feeling drama, insightful about shame and stigma, particularly for female alcoholics, though it is let down a bit by some over-the-top supporting acting. ” – Guardian Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Sovereign (2025) 95% 3/5 EDIT “This is muscular stuff, with a firm grip on your attention.” – Guardian Sep 11, 2025 Full Review My Bigfoot Life (2025) 3/5 EDIT “For me, the real story of the film is the wonderful Barnett family. Daniel’s mum Gemma says that they’ve always embraced Daniel’s passions, and their devotion is a joy to watch.” – Guardian Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Vice Is Broke (2024) 63% 3/5 EDIT “This isn’t meant unkindly, but Vice Is Broke will be essential viewing for anybody who ever worked there, with its details about who had what job title and when. ” – Guardian Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Mother Vera (2024) 4/5 EDIT “It is film of stillness, long, long takes and careful framing -- and would look at home playing on the walls of an art gallery. But Mother Vera, with its intense, luminous portrait of a woman, is not an austere art film.” – Guardian Aug 28, 2025 Full Review The Regulars (2025) 4/5 EDIT “On paper, that sounds annoyingly smug and self-conscious. But The Regulars turns out to be sweet and charming, and absolutely hilarious in places, with the easygoing, natural feel of a Richard Linklater film.” – Guardian Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Grand Prix of Europe (2025) 3/5 EDIT “It’s a perfectly serviceable plotline, and unlike so many animated films for under-eights, with their needlessly complicated stories, it even makes sense. ” – Guardian Aug 19, 2025 Full Review The Ceremony (2024) 3/5 EDIT “As the film becomes more ruminative, it does start to sag; Ihere’s one dream sequence too many and far too much screen time given to a ram, as magnificent as he is. It’s a slightly unsatisfactory conclusion to an impressive film.” – Guardian Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Treading Water (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Gill gives a very good performance, his eyes telling the story of Danny’s shame and humiliation. ” – Guardian Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Holy Cow (2024) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Faveau gives an amazingly subtle performance; Totone doesn’t say much but his fragility and complexity are all there, humour too in the little shrug of a shoulder. ” – Guardian Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Super Charlie (2024) 2/5 EDIT “Poor Super Charlie is destined to be no one’s favourite child.” – Guardian Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Malqueridas (2023) 3/5 EDIT “In the end, the film remains opaque and elusive in ways that audiences (particularly outside the country) might find frustrating.” – Guardian Aug 12, 2025 Full Review 40 Acres (2024) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Deadwyler’s performance is the driving force here. Without her, the audience’s attention might drift to the predictability of a plotline that hinges on Manny’s adolescent rebellion against his mum.” – Guardian Jul 29, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “There’s more wit and energy this time around, and a genuinely sweet message about friendship. Even the fart joke (every kids’ movie must have at least one) was a cut above and had the adults giggling. ” – Guardian Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “If you have a bunch of eight-year-olds over for a sleepover and you’re looking for something to stick on the TV, you could do worse than this straight-to-streaming live-action adaptation of the animated show Dora the Explorer.” – Guardian Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Moon (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Moon is gripping in its own understated way as it presents the unvarnished reality: that standing up to injustice is harder than it looks in the movies.” – Guardian Jul 15, 2025 Full Review The Other Way Around (2024) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Witty and grownup.” – Guardian Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Super Happy Forever (2024) 4/5 EDIT “There is something in here about chance and fate, but the film is too natural, too intimate to go too heavy on themes. It is gentle, straightforward drama, beautifully acted and emotionally tuned in.” – Guardian Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Chicken Town (2025) 3/5 EDIT “There are some sparky performances from the young cast, and it manages to pull off natural, easygoing laughs without the cringe that often seeps into British comedies.” – Guardian Jun 25, 2025 Full Review
