Tori Brazier Metro 6 days ago 4/5 The most talked about animated film of the year, Wildwood offers an impactful combination of gorgeous and striking design alongside an unusually dark and complex story. Go to Full Review Wildwood (2026) 100% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Oct 21, 2026 3/5 Clayface has enough acting chops and hacking-off-of-chops to satisfy fans looking for a good, grisly time – even if there’s a nagging feeling it could have been a bit more significant. Go to Full Review Clayface (2026) 75% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Oct 7, 2026 3/5 The Social Reckoning isn’t the urgent viewing it wants to be, but it’s nonetheless a perfectly okay film. Jeremy Strong walks away with the movie, see it for him if nothing else. Go to Full Review The Social Reckoning (2026) 54% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Sep 21, 2026 4/5 This Sense and Sensibility is admirably different, redrawing elements in its own way without overstepping Austen’s intentions and beautifully supported by pitch-perfect performances. Its exquisite detail means it holds up splendidly for repeat viewing. Go to Full Review Sense and Sensibility (2026) 76% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Sep 6, 2026 4/5 Both a documentary and concert film, and while more of the former would have been welcome given Oasis’ storyline, this still feels groundbreaking in its access. These famously mardy brothers appear to be mellowing with age – and have never sounded better. Go to Full Review Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger (2026) 97% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Aug 26, 2026 3/5 The Dog Stars never manages to overcome the fundamentally puzzling decision to make a movie about a deadly flu pandemic just years after a deadly flu pandemic – and not have it offer much more than that. Go to Full Review The Dog Stars (2026) 41% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Aug 12, 2026 5/5 Coyote vs. Acme is the new version of Space Jam, but better... It brings back the Looney Tunes with a bang and a glorious burst of zany energy. As with the best family films, I’m not sure if it's more for kids or adults... It deserves to be a phenomenon. Go to Full Review Coyote vs. Acme (2026) 96% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Aug 12, 2026 2/5 The Summer Book proves that not every novel should receive the big screen adaptation treatment... Sometimes a mood-heavy book with a light touch is better off being left as just that, rather than a paper-thin interpretation stretched over 95 minutes.

Tori Brazier Metro Jul 28, 2026 4/5 Things are stripped back a bit to allow its heart and soul – Tom Holland as Spider-Man – to really shine... Brand New Day is exactly how you should be making superhero movies in 2026, with plenty for fans and not enough to overwhelm the casual viewer.

Tori Brazier Metro Jul 15, 2026 4/5 A sparkling comedy-drama... This is just the type of film that I wouldn’t be surprised to see quietly slip into awards season to do battle with the anticipated big dogs. Go to Full Review The Invite (2026) 96% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Jul 15, 2026 5/5 Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is a watershed moment for filmmaking, re-introducing this legendary story to the masses courtesy of quite possibly the only modern director who has the ambition and guts to do it. Go to Full Review The Odyssey (2026) 94% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Jun 17, 2026 5/5 Toy Story 5 is an impressively strong sequel, one of the best this far into a franchise. While it earns its existence with smart storytelling around tech, it's the movie’s emotional resonance, as with the best Pixar movies, that truly lands. Go to Full Review Toy Story 5 (2026) 92% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Jun 10, 2026 4/5 Disclosure Day is probably not one of Spielberg’s best; it’s missing that genre redefinition he gave to the likes of Jaws and E.T. But I’d still immediately watch – and enjoy – it again, proving that he continues to operate at cinema's highest level. Go to Full Review Disclosure Day (2026) 79% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Jun 2, 2026 3/5 Is it the best work he’s ever done? No. But it’s also far from the worst, which has come most consistently in the past 10 years or so, when he’s found himself in the direct-to-video doldrums. Nor is it in any way offensive.

Tori Brazier Metro Jun 2, 2026 3/5 Some of Hokum's foundations underexplained, a frustrating characteristic of horror (and a personal pet peeve). Having said this, more horror films should aspire to be like Hokum: unafraid to showcase smart humour alongside genuinely unnerving elements. Go to Full Review Hokum (2026) 90% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Apr 29, 2026 4/5 The Devil Wears Prada 2 makes perfect sense. The movie tackles the modern media landscape and its challenges with aplomb; they have not just brought back everything because they can, but rather because there is something else yet to say.

Tori Brazier Metro Apr 29, 2026 3/5 If you fancy Practical Magic with blood and bite, spliced together with a Gaga concert, Mother Mary could work for you. It's a marmite movie, and to be admired for Lowery’s unfettered vision... and [reminding] everyone that Hathaway is quietly brilliant. Go to Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 69% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Apr 22, 2026 2/5 The Michael Jackson biopic is musically masterful but deep as a puddle. It features some great performances but takes far too oversimplified an approach towards a very complicated man. Go to Full Review Michael (2025) 38% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Apr 22, 2026 3/5 Kiss of the Spider Woman is in danger of being squashed with a rolled-up newspaper after it bombed at the US box office – but while it has its tangles, it deserves better than that. Go to Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 76% - -

Tori Brazier Metro Apr 16, 2026 3/5 While California Schemin’ isn't ground-breaking, it's done with gusto, heart and personality. It also celebrates the fact that working class stories like this – focused on joy and aspiration rather than abuse and strife – should be seen on screen more.
