It’s essentially a series of three made-for-TV movies that tell different Old Testament stories from women’s perspectives. The first film, “The Woman Who Bowed to No One,” which was the only one given…

Lee Byung-hun plays Yoo Man-su in Park Chan-wook’s ‘No Other Choice’. (Photo: Neon, 2025) There’s a particular cruelty in doing everything right and still end up losing.

There was a time in the mid-00s when the prospect of a new film by Italy’s newest favourite son, Paolo Sorrentino, was a cause for celebration. Titles such as The Consequences of Love (2004), The Family Friend (2006) and Il Divo (2008) heralded a mercurial talent, one who might finally be able to hold the mantle of Italian auteur giants…

The sci-fi subgenre of ​“ordinary man with remarkable but niche skill set ends up reluctantly saving the world” somehow still finds fertile ground in 2026 – perhaps the triumph of the charming nerd is as sure as death and taxes.

Arco is a boy from a far-flung future where humans…

Aside from the latest version of The Naked Gun, action comedies have suffered a recent dry spell. Many of the latest movies full of flying fists and bullets are painfully stoic, but BenDavid Grabinski’s Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is far from deadly serious. It’s a time traveling romp to save an old friend that manages to be both knowingly funny…

Rocky’s design by Scanlan was built from the literary groundwork laid out by Weir and his evocative description of the alien’s physiology. Scanlan, a British visual-effects artist, is most famous for his award-winning creature work on Star Wars: The Force Awakens – a film which earned him the BAFTA in Special VFX for spearheading over 100 creature and…

Tommy (Anson Boon), who spends his nights fighting bouncers and consuming everything under the sun and his days terrorising the streets for TikTok views, is not a good boy. But Chris (Stephen Graham), Tommy’s self righteous kidnapper, is determined to change that. This is Jan Komasa’s The Good Boy – not to be confused with the…

From the sexual proclivities of middle-aged women to odd encounters with smart appliances and clandestine Christmas dinners, Liam O Mochain’s anthology feature Abode has it all. Across the five separate stories that comprise his film, O Mochain explores different definitions of ​‘home’ for his disparate set of characters. Yet even as the stories are sprawling in their focus,…
