11 Films to keep on your radar in 2026

2025 was an incredible year for film, with brilliant originals like Sinners, Sentimental Value and Marty Supreme, alongside adaptations such as Hamnet, One Battle After Another and Bugonia – we were truly spoilt for choice. But 2026 may be set to take cinema to the next level, with some truly insane releases on the horizon. […]

Sentimental Value

How do existing familial bonds shape us as humans? This is the question Sentimental Value sets out to explore. When sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) lose their mother, they come face to face with their estranged father, Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård). As a filmmaker, Gustav reveals to Nora he has written a […]

Big Screen Drama: How The Housemaid Translates from Page to Screen

‘That didn’t happen in the book’. It’s the phrase that haunts every book-to-screen adaptation – and The Housemaid practically invites it. Whilst changes are inevitable (and often welcome), Paul Feig’s take had me saying it far more than usual. Adapted from the 2022 novel of the same name by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid had readers […]

Futures in Film

From a fairly young age, I knew that I wanted to work in film, but I didn’t know how I would manage that. Although I dabbled in drama at school, I definitely was not an actor, although directing seemed cool it wasn’t for me, and I could not manage the post-production side – so I […]

The Oscar’s Best Pictures ranked

Every year I set myself the goal of watching every nomination in the Best Picture category for the Oscars and every year I fail…. Until this year! One of the reasons I usually don’t succeed is likely because I hadn’t been open-minded enough to try films I wouldn’t usually see but last year when I […]

The Iron Claw

’I guess it’s because I used to be a brother. And now i’m not a brother anymore.’ This post is a little bit delayed because I actually saw The Iron Claw at the end of January but went on a little holiday! The Iron Claw is inspired by the true story of the Von Erich […]

Mean Girls and Musical Marketing

‘Was it actually good? I’ve heard it’s really bad’ is the response I get every time I mention I’ve seen the new Mean Girls film and every time I answer saying I loved the musical so of course I would enjoy this! The problem is… a lot of people don’t like musicals. If you have […]

All Of Us Strangers

‘One night in his near-empty London tower block, screenwriter Adam has a chance encounter with mysterious neighbour Harry, puncturing the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam finds himself drawn back to his childhood home, where his parents appear to be living just as they were on the day they […]

anyone but you

Often I find it can be hard to get a romcom right – but Anyone But You didn’t have that struggle. At the end of the day, the romantic comedy genre isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s fun! and this film was exactly that. Not only did I enjoy it but I’m pretty sure everyone in the […]

Priscilla

Priscilla was one of my most anticipated movies for the later part of this year so when I got the chance to see an early preview at Cineworld I was very excited. Priscilla is based on Priscilla Presley’s autobiography ‘Elvis and Me’ and follows their relationship from Priscilla’s perspective, beginning from their first meeting in […]
