I'm not as effusive about All of a Sudden as the majority. Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto are excellent and I loved the story of their friendship, but the story doesn't warrant a three-hour runtime. This truly tested my concentration. Showing at #LFF Review: missflicks.com/2026/10/10/a...

Andrew Scott gives a career-best performance in LFF's opening film Elsinore. The drama, which tells the true story of actor Ian Charleson's run as Hamlet while seriously ill with AIDS, is powerful and moving. I hope Scott's Oscar nomination is coming! Review: missflicks.com/2026/10/08/e...

Verity is not a good book, so the film adaptation didn't stand much of a chance. At least Colleen Hoover's novel was gripping and exciting, two things the movie never manages to be. What a shame for all involved. In cinemas today. Review: missflicks.com/2026/10/02/v...

While watching Digger, I felt a mixture of amusement, frustration, revulsion and bafflement. What the heck is this weird, loud and off-putting mess? I respect an ambitious swing and Tom Cruise taking on his riskiest character yet, but this gamble doesn't pay off. missflicks.com/2026/10/01/d...

Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie is a shocking, sobering documentary that gives us insight into the on-stage stabbing in 2022 and his long road to recovery. It's a difficult and upsetting watch at times, but I highly recommend it. Review: missflicks.com/2026/09/30/k...

Hope is epic, awesome and ambitious. The first hour absolutely rocks and the action setpieces are brilliant. Sure, it's a bit too long, the ending isn't great and the CGI is poor, but who cares when you're having this much fun?! In cinemas now. Review: missflicks.com/2026/09/28/h...

Heart of the Beast is a moving story about the beautiful bond between man and dog. Brad Pitt is good, but he's outshone by his incredible canine co-star. You'll want some tissues for this one! In cinemas now. Review: missflicks.com/2026/09/28/h...

Bad Apples, starring the excellent Saoirse Ronan as a teacher who takes matters into her own hands with a student, is twisted, bonkers and hilarious (in a very dark way). It really tapped into my sense of humour, so I had a great time. In cinemas Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2026/09/17/b...

Fall 2 is nowhere near as good as the original. The writing and character development are weak and it looks quite cheap at times. However, the setting is cool, the tension and threat is built well and those risky survival moments are nail-biting. In cinemas today. missflicks.com/2026/09/09/f...

It's a delight to see Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman back together in Practical Magic 2. Their chemistry and charm carry the film. But the script is terrible, there isn't enough comedy, and Maisie Williams is wasted. In cinemas Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2026/09/08/p...

Leviticus is an intense romance-slash-horror with a lot to say. The excellent Joe Bird really sells the stakes and terror, and Stacy Clausen nails the two different versions of his character. It wasn't as scary as I expected, but I liked it a lot. Review: missflicks.com/2026/09/02/l...

The Death of Robin Hood, a dark, subversive reimagining of the Robin Hood lore, is a tale of two halves. The bleak first half is challenging, but the redemptive second half is much more satisfying. In UK cinemas Wednesday. missflicks.com/2026/09/01/d...

Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic drama, The Dog Stars, is such a gentle slow-burner that I fear people may walk out/switch it off before they get to the good stuff. The opening act is slow, but your patience will be rewarded with some really great, exciting setpieces. missflicks.com/2026/08/26/t...

& Sons appears to be a conventional family drama - until you discover what the film is actually about, thanks to an early mind-blowing reveal. Bill Nighy is excellent and I respect a big swing, but it really doesn't make the most of its premise. Review: missflicks.com/2026/08/21/s...

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a bizarre and wholly unique psychosexual fever dream. Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson are a perfect match and the initial premise is flawless, but the story goes to a weird, unexpected place that I didn't enjoy. missflicks.com/2026/08/19/t...

Lady is an absurd, offbeat mockumentary starring the hilarious Sian Clifford. The concept is unique; the production and costume design are glorious, and Clifford shines as this larger-than-life character. But the novelty sadly wore off for me midway through. Review: missflicks.com/2026/08/14/l...

Dominic Sessa shines in his first leading role in Tony, in which he plays a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain. Sessa and Antonio Banderas are very good, and the film is a solid coming-of-age story, but I was expecting something edgier, funnier and more unconventional. missflicks.com/2026/08/12/t...

On the Sea, starring Barry Ward and Lorne MacFadyen, is a touching but familiar queer love story. It's one of the restrained slow-burners where the characters rarely speak, let alone say what they feel, and I found this ultimately rather frustrating! Out Friday. missflicks.com/2026/07/21/o...

I don't have a problem with Andy Serkis making a family-friendly and more hopeful spin on George Orwell's Animal Farm. That being said, the screenplay is awful, the attempts at comedy fail and it's a tonal mess. Previews this weekend. Review: missflicks.com/2026/07/17/a...

Moana, a live-action remake of the 10-year-old animation, is a pointless exercise. It is the same film, beat for beat. However, Catherine Laga'aia is a good Moana, Dwayne Johnson is having a ball as Maui, and the scenes on Motunui look gorgeous. missflicks.com/2026/07/09/m...
