Nigel Andrews Financial Times 5 days ago Vitality vindicates many faults, and the extension of the honour-among-thieves ethic is admirable in notion, if a trifle naive in presentation. Go to Full Review Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) 92% 80%

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 27, 2026 5/5 Dizzyingly good, hard and tender at once, intricately designed without drawing preening attention to the fact. Go to Full Review Possible Love (2026) 100% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 27, 2026 5/5 The director has an astonishing gift with extras. Every face on screen is allowed to be a story unto itself, the way they are in old photographs. Go to Full Review Fatherland (2026) 93% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 27, 2026 5/5 I can honestly say that, as someone who watches multiple films every week for a living, I don’t see movies this mind-bending often. Or at all. Go to Full Review You Can See Everything (2026) 96% - -

Stephanie Bunbury Financial Times Oct 27, 2026 2/5 The story just bounces along, standing uncertainly on one leg and then the other, seemingly never knowing what it wants to be. Go to Full Review Klara and the Sun (2026) 26% - -

Stephanie Bunbury Financial Times Oct 22, 2026 4/5 Yes, it’s derivative, but why argue with such excellent sources when Wildwood never lets them down? Go to Full Review Wildwood (2026) 99% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 22, 2026 3/5 There are more funny-ish moments than you might fear, many less than you would like. Go to Full Review Ali G: Who Iz I? (2026) 39% - -

Nigel Andrews Financial Times Oct 20, 2026 How else to define Full Metal Jacket's impact -- or lack thereof -- except to say that it feels like a movie that has been hatching so long it has forgotten quite why it was conceived. Go to Full Review Full Metal Jacket (1987) 84% 94%

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 15, 2026 5/5 Brutally hard viewing. Go to Full Review NAZA (2026) 100% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 15, 2026 3/5 The flaws recede as the story zeroes in on Tenzing and Hillary making their dizzying ascent. Go to Full Review Tenzing (2026) 98% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 15, 2026 4/5 Once a director of Hitchcockian thrillers, Moll has lately made a signature of the police procedural. Go to Full Review Case 137 (2025) 95% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 14, 2026 3/5 Having set up that remarkable What If?, the film doesn’t stint on follow-through, in often arresting visual detail. Go to Full Review Whalefall (2026) 74% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 9, 2026 2/5 The movie is Jaws if the shark just ate everyone, and then swam on. Go to Full Review The Social Reckoning (2026) 54% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 9, 2026 4/5 Even when it’s set in the 14th century, you instantly know a Paul Greengrass film. The kinetic charge the director gave Captain Phillips and the Bourne movies now crackles through his new project, The Uprising. Go to Full Review The Uprising (2026) 57% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 9, 2026 3/5 Faced with the weight of competing angles, the movie settles on a knockabout tone that can feel a little jarring. Perhaps, though, that is the nature of Wu-Tang — still spinning heads after all these years. Go to Full Review The Disciple (2026) 89% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 8, 2026 4/5 Deft supporting players include Kerry Washington and a splendidly glacial Gillian Anderson, all contributing to a cluster bomb of secrets and hidden agendas. For Affleck, as with all animals, it seems you survive by adapting to circumstances. Go to Full Review Animals (2026) 30% - -

Jonathan Romney Financial Times Oct 6, 2026 2/5 Questionably cavalier, to say the least, in its depiction of disability and of child mortality, this convoluted dud is open-ended and more than half empty — neither field nor lake, more of a deluxe quagmire. Go to Full Review Verity (2026) 31% - -

Danny Leigh Financial Times Oct 6, 2026 3/5 ...a tale this bound up with love and money might have fascinating things to say to twenty-somethings still living with their parents and reportedly averse to relationships. Mostly, though, the movie just gives them actors their own age to look at. Go to Full Review Sense and Sensibility (2026) 78% - -

Jonathan Romney Financial Times Oct 6, 2026 4/5 Extra Geography is poignant, painful, smart and unflaggingly droll, with a relishable soundtrack too — from languorous 1960s hit “Crimson & Clover” to, inevitably, those bards of bookish yearning Belle & Sebastian.

Jonathan Romney Financial Times Oct 6, 2026 3/5 This is the sort of lean actioner that Walter Hill or Robert Aldrich might have made in decades past, and Hawke and Crowe — birds of a feather, you might say — would have fitted into their world perfectly. Go to Full Review The Weight (2026) 94% - -
