Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Sep 27, 2026 4/5 Yes, Cregger’s Resident Evil isn’t a faithful adaptation of the game, but it makes you feel the same thrills you get from playing the game, and that, my friends, is infinitely more powerful. Go to Full Review Resident Evil (2026) 96% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Sep 24, 2026 3/5 Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed watching this. I laughed at the sunblock scene and the spider story at the cocktail party [...] and I swooned at other moments because Bateman is hella sexy, but I wanted something with more heart and genuine feeling.

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Sep 11, 2026 3.5/5 I Want Your Sex is campy, sexy, messy – it’s absolute chaos with a buckload of chemistry between Wilde and Hoffman. Go to Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 92% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Aug 9, 2026 5/5 [Nolan's] adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey isn’t entirely faithful, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s a lush, expansive reinterpretation of what war, violence and conquest does to human civilisation. [...] an absolute beast of a film. Go to Full Review The Odyssey (2026) 94% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Aug 5, 2026 Spider-Man’s known for his little quips and jokes, and Holland absolutely nails every single aspect of the performance. I have always enjoyed him in the role, but this is the first time I feel he’s truly embodied the character. Go to Full Review Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) 90% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Jun 25, 2026 The strength of Obsession lies in its willingness to plunge its characters into a hellish reality, with no attempt to relent as we build towards the haunting conclusion. Go to Full Review Obsession (2025) 93% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Jun 22, 2026 3/5 Horror may bring us into contact with otherworldly spaces or supernatural forces, but the genre is undeniably human. I don’t know if Backrooms ever elevates itself to be something more than its creepy lore. Go to Full Review Backrooms (2026) 86% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Jun 20, 2026 4/5 Voicemails for Isabelle is heartbreaking stuff, but it’s also funny and beautiful. Go to Full Review Voicemails for Isabelle (2026) 88% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Jun 18, 2026 3.5/5 We’ve frustrated because we know how good Spielberg is, but in the case of Disclosure Day, the script does not measure up to the craft, and that’s the real truth. Go to Full Review Disclosure Day (2026) 79% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Jun 6, 2026 3/5 Lopez and Goldstein’s megawatt chemistry makes me lament the weak spots in the script. There’s not enough here to best J.Lo’s iconic rom-coms [...] but it’s a pretty decent watch for a weekend date night. Go to Full Review Office Romance (2026) 47% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department May 3, 2026 4/5 [...] even from the peripheries of the film, Garfield commands every single scene he’s in. On paper, Tim is some kind of manic pixie dream boy, but he makes him so much more. We feel his disappointments, his losses and his triumphs. Go to Full Review The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 80% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Apr 14, 2026 4/5 The film is tonally well-balanced. It’s equal parts moving and funny, and while darkness is part of the film’s discourse, it never overwhelms the narrative. Go to Full Review I Swear (2025) 96% - -

Natasha Alvar The Fiction Department Mar 22, 2026 3/5 Monroe and Withers have fantastic chemistry. We feel it immediately when they’re flirting with each other about coffee and caramel, and the constant push/pull between them due the circumstances makes for an intoxicating watch.
