What You May Have Missed
- Fuze (2025) Review: A Daring Tensional & Twisty Heist
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James lead this twisty tensional British crime-thriller about a bomb disposal unit and a bank heist. Written by Ben Hopkins and directed by David Mackenzie, this thriller is gripping from the start. With strong storytelling and great direction, Fuze is the latest must-watch Sky Cinema release. - Moss & Freud (2025) Review: When A Successful Supermodel Meets An Inspirational Artist
Writer-director James Lucas depicts the relationship between supermodel Kate Moss and artist Lucian Freud in this biographical drama. This inter-generational story of friendship pairs two British icons together in Moss’ first biopic. Embedded in London culture – the film displays the Y2K fashion and ‘Cool Britannia’ movement of its time. - Cannes Film Festival Review: Lucy Lost (Clert, 2026)
A practically perfect, or ideal film in almost every sense — including its lovely little 85-minute runtime. Perfect for children… - Normal (2025) Review: A Weirdly Wonderful Small-town Heist Turns Deadly
Normal follows Bob Odenkirk’s Ulysses as the new interim sheriff in the small town of Normal, Minnesota. But after a bank robbery goes wrong, Ulysses soon discovers the town harbours dark secrets. Written by John Wick screenwriter, Derek Kolstad and directed by Ben Wheatley, we review this comedy crime-action. - The Christophers (2025) Review: Ian McKellen & Michaela Coel Are The Ultimate Duo In This Artistic Comedy-Drama
The Christophers follows Ian McKellen’s Julian Sklar as a cynical once-celebrated artist in London. But his children hire an assistant who forges his artwork whilst working as his assistant to ensure they gain his wealthy inheritance. Written by Ed Solomon and directed by Steven Soderbergh, we review this comedy drama. - The Drama (2026) Review: A Daring, Unusual Story Full of Twists & Turns
We review the quirky, weird, and off-beat, The Drama (2026). Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, The Drama (2026) is led by Robert Pattinson’s Charlie and Zendaya’s Emma. Classified as a romance, a thriller, and a black-comedy – this is a film which will leave you guessing until the very end.
