James Mottram Radio Times Oct 15, 2026 2/5 Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, given the source is a beat'em-up video game, but unlike the recent Minecraft, for example, Street Fighter fritters away its camp potential. Go to Full Review Street Fighter (2026) 41% - -

James Mottram Radio Times Oct 14, 2026 2/5 Unfortunately, the result is an uneasy mix, awash with both sentimentality and sheer, suffocating nastiness.

Jayne Nelson Radio Times Oct 13, 2026 3/5 It's still jolly good fun, with Freeman and Wright's father/daughter chemistry lovely to witness. Go to Full Review Flavia (2026) - - - -

Tom Hutchinson Radio Times Oct 13, 2026 2/5 The potentially fascinating tale of modern sporting endeavour versus unmoving Oxbridge tradition fights a losing battle with director Ferdinand Fairfax's laborious scene-setting and Brian Tufano's painterly photography.

John Ferguson Radio Times Oct 9, 2026 2/5 By now, the NeverEnding Story franchise was, well, heading towards an end. This one is more firmly anchored in real life, possibly to its detriment. Go to Full Review The Neverending Story III: Escape From Fantasia (1994) 20% 26%

Max Copeman Radio Times Oct 9, 2026 4/5 The result is an intelligent and inventive blend of vérité and essay styles, which would prove greatly influential on the documentary field over the decades, with Michael Moore and John Wilson among those who have cited McElwee's approach.

Tom Dawson Radio Times Oct 9, 2026 5/5 Maldoror succeeds in capturing both the rhythms of everyday life and the sense of a collective struggle, depicting women, children and the elderly as active participants in the revolutionary cause. Go to Full Review Sambizanga (1973) 100% 100%

Kevin Harley Radio Times Oct 9, 2026 3/5 As tour footage captures a Brazil stadium erupting to tracks like Heavy Is the Crown, the sense of a big swing hitting its target is powerfully captured. Go to Full Review LINKIN PARK: UNSHATTER (2026) - - - -

David Parkinson Radio Times Oct 9, 2026 3/5 There's no denying the investigator's courage or that of the masked man who acted as their go-between in Damascus.
