Lady (2026) 92% 8/10 EDIT “Lady’s journey becomes a visceral reminder that the most radical act a woman can perform in a world built for men is to survive, to remember, and—eventually—sing a song of her own making.” – Next Best Picture Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 70% EDIT “While Slate and Pine possess a connection that feels hypnotic and genuine, the script fails to provide the architectural support their chemistry deserves.” – Nerdspin Feb 4, 2026 Full Review American Doctor (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “It is a compelling, necessary piece of cinema that demands we find our humanity before the hourglass runs out.” – Next Best Picture Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 97% EDIT “In Josephine, writer-director Beth de Araújo crafts a devastating and empathetic portrait of a childhood interrupted by the sudden, sharp intrusion of the world’s most jagged edges” – Nerdspin Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 65% EDIT “While the film’s narrative can feel all over the place at times, the comedy remains exceptionally strong, grounded by Shlesinger’s natural screen presence. ” – Nerdspin Jan 31, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) 93% 7/10 EDIT “It’s an oddball friendship story that reminds us that while we might tell ourselves stories to survive, it is the genuine human bond that truly allows us to live. It is a heartwarming portrait of three outsiders finding their place in the world.” – Next Best Picture Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Sentient (2026) 7/10 EDIT “The film’s real strength lies in its refusal to point fingers, instead offering a heartfelt look at the heavy emotional toll this work takes on both the animals and the people who care for them.” – Next Best Picture Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Shame and Money (2026) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Morina crafts an empathetic portrait of resilience, anchored by lead performances that find a profound, humanistic dignity within the crushing weight of an unforgiving society.” – Next Best Picture Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Hold Onto Me (2026) 8/10 EDIT “Aristidou’s debut is a profound exercise in observation, with a rugged, sun-drenched honesty that unearths a resilient beauty within the wreckage of a fractured relationship between father and daughter.” – Next Best Picture Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Ghost in the Machine (2026) 82% 5/10 EDIT “Despite its analytical depth, it suffers from structural bloat, often feeling like a dense, overheated bombardment of information that strains under its own weight.” – Next Best Picture Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Bedford Park (2026) 95% 8/10 EDIT “The film’s brilliance is anchored by great performances that let the narrative move beyond the surface level, offering a profound investigation into the weight of intergenerational pain and the quiet resilience required to find a place to finally breathe.” – Next Best Picture Jan 24, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% A EDIT “DaCosta takes the directorial reins from Boyle, infusing Alex Garland’s script with a sense of horror that feels more subdued and intimate, yet no less incendiary. ” – Nerdspin Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “Johnson has crafted not only his best script yet, but perhaps his most human work as a sermon disguised as a whodunit, offering unlikely grace to a broken, divided world.” – Peliplat Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “Zootopia 2 arrives with an ambition that is both exhilarating and unexpected. It picks up precisely where the first film ended. But that’s not only in timeline; it captures the same emotional tension, social complexity, and thematic daring. ” – Peliplat Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “Train Dreams is one of the best films of the year. It’s a breathtaking work of art that fuses history, emotion, and nature into a single, haunting melody. ” – Peliplat Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “With Frankenstein, [Del Toro] brings Mary Shelley’s novel to life as intricately as the Doctor does his Creature, rendered in baroque decadence, steeped in melancholy, and pulsing with the raw ache of creation.” – Peliplat Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “In DaCosta’s hands, Hedda is a masterful play of tension and manipulation. Her adaptation is intoxicating and intelligent; a story about women who will not stay dead, no matter how society tries to bury them.” – Peliplat Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% A- EDIT “Roofman is based on the almost unbelievable true story of the “Roofman Robber,” but beneath its stranger-than-fiction premise lies a heartbreakingly human tale of failure, family, and the fantasy of redemption.” – Nerdspin Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% A- EDIT “What unfolds is not just a biopic or a behind-the-scenes reenactment; it’s a cinephile’s dream. It’s a film about filmmaking that revels in spontaneity, celebrates rebellion, and honours the radical power of creative freedom.” – Nerdspin Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% EDIT “Sydney Sweeney’s portrayal is as bruising as it is brave, capturing the paradox of a woman who had to become both a fighter and a prisoner to survive.” – Peliplat Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “There is humour in Sentimental Value, moments of connection, and a sense that, despite the fractures, love still flickers between the ruins. This gives the film a very welcome softness.” – Peliplat Oct 2, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “In lesser hands, this might’ve been a grim trudge. But Park turns it into a viciously funny romp – albeit one that slices like a paper cut. ” – Peliplat Sep 28, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 69% EDIT “In its most moving moments, The History of Sound proves that love, like a song, can echo across decades, even after its final note has faded. It’s a film that explores the song of one individual's life and the impact of who he decided to compose it with.” – Peliplat Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Little Lorraine (2025) 100% 7/10 EDIT ““Little Lorraine” delivers a haunting and atmospheric portrait of a community in crisis, grounded by strong performances and a clear-eyed refusal to romanticize the desperation that drives ordinary people to crime.” – Next Best Picture Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Winter of the Crow (2025) 7/10 EDIT “Lesley Manville delivers a quietly commanding performance in a film that transforms a bleak winter landscape into a tense, emotionally rich portrait of resistance and survival.” – Next Best Picture Sep 15, 2025 Full Review
