Kate Winslet's directorial debut Goodbye June is an effective tearjerker set to have us weeping at Christmas! The ensemble cast are terrific. I could personally relate to the story so it hit me in the feels. If I'd watched alone, I would have bawled uncontrollably! missflicks.com/2025/12/11/g...

Ella McCay is an old-school, earnest drama starring the delightful Emma Mackey. I enjoyed many things about it (like Jamie Lee Curtis!), but it is ultimately uneven, unfocused and unsatisfying. It's a shame because Mackey deserves to be a bigger star. missflicks.com/2025/12/10/e...

Shout out to my friends @kathughes.bsky.social @amonwarmann.bsky.social and @paulkleinyo.bsky.social for making THR's first reactions roundup! #TheBoneTemple www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Considering where #28YearsLater ends, I'm very intrigued to see how the story continues in The Bone Temple...

Preparation for the Next Life is a slow-burning, melancholic and beautiful film about a love story between an immigrant and a soldier in New York City. Sebiye Behtiyar totally deserves her Breakthrough Performer nomination from the Gotham Awards. Review: missflicks.com/2025/12/09/p...

Silent Night, Deadly Night, a remake of the 1984 festive slasher, has some good moments (THAT party sequence!), but overall, it's not scary, gory or fun enough to be a memorable Christmas horror. In cinemas Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2025/12/08/s...

Jay Kelly stars the ever-charming George Clooney as a Hollywood actor reconsidering the choices he's made in life. Noah Baumbach's exploration of regret really crept up on me and hit me in the feels. Adam Sandler is the heart and soul of the story. Review: missflicks.com/2025/12/05/j...

putting aside for a minute what this means for everyone's favourite franchises or whatever, the oldest movie studios careening towards streaming monopolies who have little interest in actual theatrical releases is frankly fucking miserable about.netflix.com/en/news/netf...

WES ANDERSON: A RETROSPECTIVE is out now 💛 pls enjoy some other people’s thoughts about it. you can order through the link below www.geminibooks.com/books/gemini...

I really have no faith in this wording: "Netflix expects to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations... including theatrical releases for films." I'll believe it when I see it.

Dreamers is an important, all-too-relevant film about life in an immigration removal centre. It may not be perfect, but I hope everyone sees this film and comes away with more empathy for migrants, especially in today's climate. In cinemas now. Review: missflicks.com/2025/12/05/d...

Elizabeth Olsen is an absolute delight in the old-school romantic comedy Eternity, co-starring Miles Teller and Callum Turner. I loved her sensational performance (always) and the film's sense of humour, but the second half is far too long and slow. Review: missflicks.com/2025/12/04/e...

It Was Just An Accident is an impressive act of bravery from Jafar Panahi. That being said, I wasn't as taken by the film as much as the majority (and I've watched it twice). I just couldn't get with the tone, as the farcical situation is played so straight. Review: missflicks.com/2025/12/03/i...

To celebrate the release of Dreamers, I spoke to lead actors Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo and Ann Akinjirin and writer-director Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor about how they prepared for their tender drama and how their film humanises immigrant characters in today's divided climate. missflicks.com/2025/12/02/d...

Sydney Sweeney gives a committed performance as boxer Christy Martin in Christy. The boxing story is conventional and cliched, but what happens in her personal life is shocking and gripping, making the film worth watching. In cinemas today. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/28/c...

The third Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man, is in selected cinemas from today. Daniel Craig and Josh O'Connor are brilliant and I liked the darker tone and sense of humour, but it's long, overcomplicated and the weakest of the bunch. missflicks.com/2025/10/09/w...

Zootropolis 2 is in cinemas today! Make sure you stay until the very end of the credits.

Ken Jeong bringing Bobby's "That's my girls!" energy.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

Ethan Hawke gives a tremendous performance as lyricist Lorenz Hart in Richard Linklater's biographical drama Blue Moon. The performances and script are all top-notch, but the film feels longer than it is and might have worked better as a play. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/25/b...

The downside of being an entertainment journo today is that I've got to get through my shift without having any of Stranger Things spoiled for me. Wish me luck!!

Pillion, starring Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgard, is an excellent film about a timid, passive man finding his agency and identity. Yes, the sex scenes are graphic, but the film's about so much more than that! Much funnier than I expected too. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/26/p...

Zootropolis 2 (or Zootopia 2): The creative world-building, the animal-based jokes, the visuals and the voice acting are all top-tier. The story is slightly weaker than the first, but I still had a great time. In cinemas Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/25/z...

I spoke to writer-director Laura Carreira earlier this year to support her film, On Falling, and we recently caught up again in honour of her making this year's BAFTA Breakthrough group (and her BIFA noms)! missflicks.com/2025/11/25/l...

Benedict Cumberbatch is terrific as a grief-stricken, overwhelmed father in The Things with Feathers. There are some beautiful moments but the film itself is a bit too weird, dark and scattershot to really work for me. In cinemas now. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/24/t...

I highly recommend checking out Train Dreams on Netflix. It's a beautiful film about grief and loneliness, with Joel Edgerton's best performance in years. The cinematography and score are stunning. Yes, I cried! 😭

IFSCA Early Oscar Predictions – Lead/Supporting Actress With several months to go and only 5 slots to fill, the IFSCA have polled our members to see what they have top of mind right now going into what is sure to be an up and down award season.

After the Hunt - starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri - is now streaming on Prime Video. I had high hopes for this one and came away confused and disappointed. ICYMI, here's my review: missflicks.com/2025/10/16/a...

Wicked: For Good is epic, emotional and absolutely stunning. I laughed, I cried and even applauded some of the musical numbers. This is what cinema is all about! A rare 5/5 from me. Out Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/18/w...

The Running Man is an entertaining action movie with a committed performance from Glen Powell. It doesn't feel like an Edgar Wright movie, and the final act is messy and disappointing, but I mostly enjoyed it. In cinemas now. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/20/t...

**Sees the UK reviews for Wicked For Good** Oh I see we’re continuing our crusade to be a joyless nation.

Wicked: For Good is epic, emotional and absolutely stunning. I laughed, I cried and even applauded some of the musical numbers. This is what cinema is all about! A rare 5/5 from me. Out Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/18/w...

Promised Sky is a poignant, powerful and compelling drama about three migrant women searching for better lives in Tunisia. It is screening in London tonight as part of the #FilmAfrica2025 festival. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/17/p...

The new documentary Predators, which examines the ethical and moral dilemmas in the 2000s true crime show To Catch a Predator, is startling, thought-provoking and offers no easy answers. In cinemas now. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/14/p...

FIRST LOOK 🚨 Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey stars Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Odysseus’ wife awaiting his return in Ithaca. Alongside her is Mia Goth as Melantho, one of the maids in the palace. READ MORE: www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...

Keeper, a surreal horror starring Tatiana Maslany, is the weakest of Osgood Perkins's recent trio. But if you like trippy supernatural movies that are heavy on atmosphere and light on story, this will work for you. In cinemas tomorrow. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/13/k...

My Father's Shadow is a rich, subtle and poignant film about two boys spending the day with their absent father in Lagos during the election crisis. Sope Dirisu's understated performance is top-tier. The drama opens Film Africa 2025 on Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/12/m...

Freaky Friday sequel, Freakier Friday, is now on Disney+. It isn't perfect but I had the best time reuniting with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis and I laughed out loud so much. Enjoy! Review: missflicks.com/2025/08/05/f...

The Four Horsemen are back for a third ridiculous, far-fetched magical heist in Now You See Me: Now You Don't. It's as silly as ever, but it needed to be much, much funnier. Leave your brain at the door! Rosamund Pike steals the show as a fabulous villain. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/11/n...

I have finally seen I Swear! It's a funny, moving and important film and a force for good, and Robert Aramayo is sensational. This must surely sweep all of the UK awards, or at least win the Outstanding British Film BAFTA! Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/10/i...

To celebrate 100 years since the birth of acting legend Richard Burton, BBC One will be airing the biopic, Mr. Burton, at 8pm tonight. Harry Lawtey and Toby Jones are terrific in this compelling drama! missflicks.com/2025/04/04/m...

I can't wait to watch Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein again when it comes to Netflix this weekend. One of the best films of the year! ICYMI, here's my review: missflicks.com/2025/10/14/f...

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Die My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, is a bit too slow, abstract and ambiguous for my liking but Lawrence's audacious performance makes it still worth watching. This certainly won't be for everyone! In cinemas Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2025/10/19/d...

I had an absolute blast with Predator: Badlands, a fun sci-fi action movie with a fantastic performance from Elle Fanning. It's funnier than expected, the action setpieces are great, and the landscapes are gorgeous. In cinemas Friday. Review: missflicks.com/2025/11/04/p...

Another cinema recommendation! Riz Ahmed and Lily James' new film Relay is an intense and gripping old-school thriller that you don't see often in the cinema anymore. This has plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end. Review: missflicks.com/2025/10/31/r...

Bugonia, my current favourite of the year and certainly my favourite Emma Stone-Yorgos Lanthimos collab, is in cinemas today! I cannot wait to see this absolutely bonkers film again. Review: missflicks.com/2025/10/11/b...

Tessa Thompson is a devilish delight in Nia DaCosta's reimagining of Ibsen's classic play Hedda Gabler. Sometimes it's thrilling to watch rich people do horrible things during a fabulous party in a fancy house! Hedda is now streaming on Prime Video. Review: missflicks.com/2025/10/30/h...

Colin Farrell is terrific as a desperate gambling addict in the psychological thriller Ballad of a Small Player. But I was pretty underwhelmed by the story itself, which is a shame as I had a lot of faith in Conclave's Edward Berger. Now on Netflix. Review: missflicks.com/2025/10/29/b...

Down at the special screening of #PredatorBadlands!!
