Read MoreReview: Never After Dark – “This is one to enjoy, watch it late-night, with the lights down.”
Directed by Dave Boyle Starring Moeka Hoshi, Kurumi Inagaki, Kento Kaku, Tae Kimura, Mutsuo Yoshioka After making its debut at SXSW this year, and the festival circuit – including the Sydney Film Festival and Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival – David Boyle’s intriguing new J-Horror hits the UK.

Read MoreReview: Clayface – “Horrifying, funny and engrossing.”
Coming out in time for Halloween, Clayface is a body horror film exploring themes of vanity, revenge and love, but in its brief runtime, its exploration of these themes remains (ironically) superficial.

Read MoreLondon Film Festival 2026 Review: 7 Miles Out – “A triumph of indie cinema.”
Writer and director Carol Morley is no stranger to mining her past in her work, having previously made the documentary The Alcohol Years.

Read MoreLondon Film Festival 2026 Review: Flies – “A warm, naturalistic and poignant film.”
Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke’s black-and-white comedy-drama Flies is a gentle study in compassion and the effect people can have on our lives, however briefly.

The opening could be a comedy short in itself. Olga, an older, solitary woman...

Read MoreLondon Film Festival 2026 Review: Misty Green – “A remarkable performance.”
Life in LA is a frenetic mix of broken dreams, systemic racism and a growing mental health crisis in comedian Chris Rock’s uneven latest comedy drama, Misty Green. He has a lot to say about all of it, and these are points worth shouting about. But where he’s razor-sharp in his stand-up routines – there are too many subjects on display for any to really land. It’s part Hollywood satire with a focus on the...
