For Worse (2025) 82% EDIT “First movies, be it as a director, writer or both, can demonstrate promise, but For Worse fulfils it. Here, audiences always keen for more from Landecker well and truly get it.” – AWFJ.org Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Turbulence (2024) EDIT “To Aghion’s success, sitting down to Turbulence does indeed mimic standing in her shoes or slipping inside her heart and mind, experiencing her sorrows and struggles, then gleaning her realisations and relishing her wins. ” – AWFJ.org Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Rolling Papers (2024) EDIT “Rolling Papers revels in the hope and joy of chasing a dream, and of having a purpose, while also appreciating how and why reality can interrupt – and why that might be welcome.” – ScreenHub Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Made in EU (2025) EDIT “A clear-eyed and compelling look at the repercussions of capitalism’s love of profits over people, textile industry standards, humanity’s incessant need for a scapegoat and the relationship between the European Union’s member countries.” – ScreenHub Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Hungarian Wedding (2025) EDIT “Director Csaba Káel and screenwriter Miksa Békési prove perceptive with this 80s-set film, with cultural specificity and emotional depth up there with pulsating dance scenes and sparkling chemistry as Hungarian Wedding’s biggest strengths.” – ScreenHub Feb 22, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% EDIT “The film’s musical-infused approach, complete with hymn-inspired song-and-dance numbers, is mesmerising. And in the lead, Amanda Seyfried gives her greatest performance yet.” – ScreenHub Feb 18, 2026 Full Review The Piano Accident (2025) EDIT “Now a three-time star for Dupieux after Mandibles and Smoking Causes Coughing, Exarchopoulos keeps having a ball tapping into the director’s wavelength.” – ScreenHub Feb 18, 2026 Full Review The Son and the Sea (2025) EDIT “Stroma Cairns crafts a tender examination of masculinity, and a film as resonant as it is visually striking.” – ScreenHub Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Franz (2025) 73% EDIT “As well as making a star out of German actor Idan Weiss as its lead, Franz gets playful, thrillingly and engagingly so.” – ScreenHub Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) 95% EDIT “Haunting both in its beauty and its contemplation of the full scope of everyday existence.” – ScreenHub Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Arco (2025) 93% EDIT “Gorgeous, imaginative, heartfelt and hopeful ... the best animated movie of the past year.” – ScreenHub Feb 18, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 96% EDIT “Stunning ... there's no more exhilarating ode to Elvis for obsessives, the somewhat fond and the barely aware alike than this.” – ScreenHub Feb 17, 2026 Full Review 2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025) 94% EDIT “Unforgettable, as well as essential, important and urgent viewing.” – AWFJ.org Feb 4, 2026 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 96% EDIT “A thoughtful delight that stirs the soul and lingers in the mind like a gorgeous tune.” – AWFJ.org Jan 23, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “A film to worship... Rare is a series’ fourth entry, let alone a film helmed by a new director after two prior triumphs by one of its originators, that understands so firmly what made its previous outstanding entries such marvels.” – AWFJ.org Jan 19, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “Reflecting reality with sparkling clarity doesn’t make Park Chan-wook’s black comedy any less sharp or savage, the latter in a so-truthful-it-cuts-to-the-bone fashion.” – AWFJ.org Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% EDIT “A successful showcase for Sweeney’s dramatic talents ... Christy knows how to sting, and also how to float.” – ScreenHub Jan 12, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% EDIT “Hilditch’s movie is so assured, so certain of its place in multiple canons, so patently its own and so effective.” – AWFJ.org Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Kokuho (2025) 92% EDIT “Captivating, all-consuming, resplendent and affecting ... while subtlety is among the movie’s plentiful strengths, there’s no masking its emotion, artistry, beauty or impact, with every ounce of passion rewardingly on display. ” – AWFJ.org Dec 21, 2025 Full Review Bump: A Christmas Film (2025) EDIT “Bump serves up a reminder of why viewers have loved spending time in its company. ” – ScreenHub Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Nugget Is Dead? A Christmas Story (2024) EDIT “Before the pair [Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst] were satirising the PR industry astutely and amusingly, they tackled dysfunctional families come the merriest time on the calendar, with the same winning results.” – ScreenHub Dec 8, 2025 Full Review How to Make Gravy (2024) EDIT “There’s not a bad performance among the cast.” – ScreenHub Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Jones Family Christmas (2023) EDIT “There’s a sense of both sentimentality and weight to this Heather Mitchell-led dramedy.” – ScreenHub Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Christmas Ransom (2022) EDIT “As the likeable-enough movie unfurls its seasonal antics in a family-owned toy store that’s seen more profitable days, it also adds a Die Hard angle.” – ScreenHub Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Christmas on the Farm (2021) EDIT “This saccharine-toned, sunnily shot picture happily and eagerly plays out exactly as viewers expect from its first moments.” – ScreenHub Dec 8, 2025 Full Review
