Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) 81% 2/5 EDIT “Remarkably Bright Creatures milks My Octopus Teacher for Hallmark-card dollops of anthropomorphic sentiment, but fails to live up to the promise of its title, abundantly. Nice but dim is closer to the mark.” – Sunday Times (UK) May 14, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 94% 3/5 EDIT “The film is no Babe or Shaun the Sheep, but it gets by on cosy, hand-knitted charm.” – Sunday Times (UK) May 14, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 89% 3/5 EDIT “The film plays like a well-leafed anthology of Irish folklore, handsomely enough shot but lacking the unifying conceit that has driven, say, the great Australian horror movies of recent years.” – Sunday Times (UK) May 5, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 4/5 EDIT “The laughs may be fewer and farther between, the satirical bite softened by the sanguinity of McKenna’s take on the five-alarm fire consuming the fashion world, but there’s an undertow of pathos that wasn’t there the first time.” – Sunday Times (UK) May 5, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 71% 3/5 EDIT “The narcissism of pop stars is turned into an exorbitant, quasi-religious spectacle in David Lowery’s odd, beautiful, slightly pretentious but original new film.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 2/5 EDIT “Nobody can fault the film-makers for their demonisation of Joseph but what makes the film such a distressing watch, for all its polish, is the gauzily viewed halo they insist on placing above Michael’s head.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Glenrothan (2025) 17% 2/5 EDIT “Scotland looks magnificent, but then it always does. One to have on in the background of a winter’s evening while you mix up a hot toddy. ” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 20, 2026 Full Review The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) 47% 3/5 EDIT “Your enjoyment of the film will depend on how much of the robotic, sotto voce sing-song with which Dano delivers his lines you can take before you want to run from your dacha and bury your head in the snow. ” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 20, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% 2/5 EDIT “The film’s elliptical style is... its downfall.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 14, 2026 Full Review California Schemin' (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “McAvoy feels the pain as well as the joy of his two cultural minstrels.” – The Times (UK) Apr 14, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% 1/5 EDIT “You could lose years of your life acquiring the gaming hours necessary to make sense of it all, or you could simply let the eye-candy wash over you. Or stay in the lavatory and read the graffiti. ” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 4/5 EDIT “The actors are in their element.” – Sunday Times (UK) Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% 3/5 EDIT “With a nod to the director Judd Apatow, it’s a sharp, adult themes-filled throwback to the films of the Seventies.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 91% 3/5 EDIT “ The film is more plugged into the dreams of the parents than the kids; every time we return to Garfield, Foy and their dream of a tomato farm, the story revives. ” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review La Grazia (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “La grazia is Paolo Sorrentino’s most restrained film, one that rests on the pathos of his longtime leading man, Servillo, whose sad-clown face is worth the price of admission alone. ” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “The film can be a gruesome watch.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “A rocket-fuelled crowd-pleaser.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review A Pale View of Hills (2025) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Every time the film returns to Japan, it comes to gentle life, helped by a beautiful score by the Polish composer Pawel Mykietyn, and a performance of radiant simplicity from Hirose.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 17, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Ford’s film has the bounce and zip of a Coen brothers comedy without the sharpness — you’re happy to see the hipsters and pastors offed, maybe a little too happy. ” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 3/5 EDIT “It’s an improvement on Elio, and still better than most of the competition. ” – The Times (UK) Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The film’s almost exclusive focus of tortured father-son dynamics — with Tim Roth playing a Nazi sympathiser attempting to supplant Tommy in Duke’s affections — will carry too strong a whiff of Brut for some, but there is plenty to enjoy.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 12, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “The faux-primitivism of Corbet and Fastvold’s vision is likely to be embraced only by a few hardy souls. The furniture looks divine, though.” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 3, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “EPiC accidentally demolishes the rationale behind most biopics. When documentaries are this star-spangled, who needs an imitation?” – Sunday Times (UK) Mar 3, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Linda’s problems are funny for an hour, but as they take a more serious turn towards hallucination and thoughts of suicide, the dramatic contrivance of her catalogue of misfortune wears thin and the film grows monotonous. ” – Sunday Times (UK) Feb 25, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “If you’re expecting a Brazilian Bourne, forget it. For a film about a man shadowed by two assassins, The Secret Agent has a daringly languid pace, with flashes of surreal comedy that belie the seriousness of what is afoot.” – Sunday Times (UK) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review
