A Woman's Life (2026) 94% EDIT “Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet’s intriguing, modest drama keeps its focus tight on Gabrielle but, thanks to a keenly observed screenplay and Drucker’s finely balanced performance, presents a wider view on the female mid-life experience.” – Screen International May 13, 2026 Full Review Obsession (2025) 94% EDIT “An incisive, entertainingly schlocky study of romantic co-dependency, patriarchal entitlement and the all-too-easy subversion of good intentions.” – Screen International May 12, 2026 Full Review Stormbound (2026) EDIT “While it may be somewhat emotionally heavy-handed in joining the dots between the tempests that rage in Jeff’s’ personal life and those he chases on the ground, Stormbound is visually jaw-dropping as it takes the viewer straight into the eye of the storm.” – Screen International Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Hunky Jesus (2026) EDIT “Jennifer M. Kroot’s raucous, joyful documentary is structured around the 2023 event, but also delves deeper to explore the roots of this long-standing sisterhood and the impact it has had on the community and beyond.” – Screen International Apr 29, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% EDIT “This sequel (again directed by David Frankel) is cut from exactly the same cloth, deliberately designed to be a narrative retread -- albeit with a few Gen Z updates -- that should delight existing fans.” – Screen International Apr 29, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 94% EDIT “While those emotional beats make more of an impact than the somewhat strained murder mystery at its heart, The Sheep Detectives nevertheless proves to be a diverting, whimsical yarn.” – Screen International Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 71% EDIT “Every aspect of the film is carefully crafted and calibrated in service of Lowery’s distinctive vision, and, while it may prove divisive, it casts a hallucinatory spell.” – Screen International Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Underland (2025) 100% EDIT “With a complete absence of any traditional talking heads -- or indeed sunlight -- Underland serves to draw the viewer completely into the compelling, unnerving, alluring void.” – Screen International Mar 26, 2026 Full Review The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 91% EDIT “While the addition of the wider family story does give this adaptation some dramatic impetus, it is at its strongest and most charming when it leans into its child-like magic.” – Screen International Mar 26, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% EDIT “Sokolov does not intend for his film to be cerebral, envelope-pushing horror, just a damn good time. ” – Screen International Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Adam's Apple (2026) EDIT “As much as Adam’s Apple is a film about the specifics of identity, it’s also a study of the relentless marching of time -- and a reminder to make as much of it as we can with the people we love.” – Screen International Mar 20, 2026 Full Review The Fox (2026) EDIT “There’s certainly potential for some dark comedy in this outlandish set-up, but writer/director Dario Russo’s decision to play it almost entirely straight dulls its claws.” – Screen International Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Peril at Pincer Point (2026) EDIT “Pleasingly idiosyncratic and shot through with a very British surrealist sense of humour, The Peril At Pincer Point sails merrily along on a wave of modern absurdist comedy and a traditional black-and-white folkloric aesthetic.” – Screen International Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Sad Girlz (2026) EDIT “A sensitive and knowing study of female teenage friendship, powered by strong performances from its young leads.” – Screen International Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% EDIT “Propulsive and entertaining, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man has plenty to keep fans happy and a wider audience engaged.” – Screen International Mar 5, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “This is big-swing filmmaking, and it largely works. Working with production designer Karen Murphy, writer/director Gyllenhaal has created a vivid steampunk period universe which bends to the will of her storytelling.” – Screen International Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Iván & Hadoum (2026) EDIT “This low-key, accomplished feature debut from Spanish television director Ian de la Rosa follows a familiar star-crossed lovers narrative, but draws in potent contemporary issues of culture, identity and class.” – Screen International Feb 26, 2026 Full Review A Child of My Own (2026) EDIT “Thanks to Alberdi’s sensitive handling of this story, Alejandra remains a sympathetic figure, even as her story begins to flicker and shift.” – Screen International Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Nightborn (2026) 73% EDIT “Finnish director Hanna Bergholm’s audacious second feature is likely to be divisive, but those who connect with its themes and rhythms will find a great deal to enjoy.” – Screen International Feb 17, 2026 Full Review A Prayer for the Dying (2026) EDIT “A Prayer For The Dying has a potent sense of time and place.” – Screen International Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Yellow Letters (2026) 82% EDIT “The film’s strength lies in its refusal to reduce its narrative to a simple case of moral blacks and whites. ” – Screen International Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Sunny Dancer (2026) EDIT “While it sometimes loses itself to flights of melodramatic adolescent fantasy, it confidently wraps its heavy themes in a peppy, accessible package. ” – Screen International Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Silenced (2026) 100% EDIT “Silenced proves an essential, galvanising watch and deserves to find an audience.” – Screen International Feb 4, 2026 Full Review To Hold a Mountain (2026) 93% EDIT “Wider themes of endangered tradition, generational tension and cultural displacement are brought into sharp focus through quiet, respectful and keenly-edited observation. ” – Screen International Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% EDIT “Heavy on action, light on plot, Shelter is no more or less than you would expect from a Jason Statham movie -- and that is enough to make this an entertaining crowd-pleaser.” – Screen International Jan 28, 2026 Full Review
