Asyia Iftikhar metro.co.uk Oct 19, 2026 4/5 Ultimately, this is a movie about hope even in the darkest of times, the beauty of queer love and found family, and how nothing is ever black-and-white, and that’s exactly where the magic lies. Go to Full Review Club Kid (2026) 100% - -

Asyia Iftikhar metro.co.uk Oct 19, 2026 4/5 . For those who wished this could scratch the itch Mahershala’s exit from Blade caused, I’m not sure this will do the trick. Instead, we see the quiet bubbling of potential throughout, without ever seeing it come to fruition. Go to Full Review Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother (2026) 96% - -

Rebecca Sayce metro.co.uk Oct 19, 2026 5/5 As painfully relevant today as it was in 1971, Ken Russell’s The Devils is finally being released as the iconic director always intended and remains a must-see piece of cinematic brilliance. Go to Full Review Ken Russell's The Devils (2026) 98% - -

Andrew Gaudion metro.co.uk Oct 15, 2026 2/5 There are some good moments of claustrophobic terror, but the hackneyed emotional arc both robs the film of a knowing sense of humour and doesn’t provide enough convincing material to feel justified. Go to Full Review Whalefall (2026) 74% - -

Asyia Iftikhar metro.co.uk Oct 15, 2026 5/5 There’s no denying Josephine is nauseating, devastating viewing, but its message has never been more important. Go to Full Review Josephine (2026) 96% - -

Brooke Ivey Johnson metro.co.uk Sep 30, 2026 4/5 A film that is objectively ridiculous in June can become Citizen Kane when you watch it under a blanket or in a cozy cinema after a seasonal craft lager at the pub in October. And Verity is a gorgeous entry in this important genre. Go to Full Review Verity (2026) 31% - -

Tom Percival metro.co.uk Sep 30, 2026 2/5 Watching this film is like listening to your dad’s middle-aged mate tell you why Queen are the best band in the world. Yeah, his pre-rehearsed speech has its moments, but for the most part you’re just nodding along, hoping to God it’ll all be over soon. Go to Full Review Digger (2026) 53% - -

Tori Brazier metro.co.uk Sep 6, 2026 4/5 Audacious, imaginative and darkly funny, Primetime is not what I expected at all. And Robert Pattinson in predator-catching mode has to be seen to truly understand how it can work so well. Go to Full Review Primetime (2026) 86% - -

Tori Brazier metro.co.uk Sep 4, 2026 4/5 Not many people could deliver a sharp, thoughtful and yet accessible and genuinely funny film, examining the US government’s involvement in the violent 1973 coup that overthrew Chile’s democratically elected president. But McDonagh can. Go to Full Review Wild Horse Nine (2026) 93% - -

Tori Brazier metro.co.uk Sep 3, 2026 2/5 Sometimes nuggets of inspiration are just too tricky to tie together and ground in one film. Bucking Fastard has some sporadically entertaining moments, but it’s a muddled and vague letdown otherwise. It could have been so much better. Go to Full Review Bucking Fastard (2026) 69% - -

Tori Brazier metro.co.uk Sep 3, 2026 4/5 Ink is a film that can't be ignored... Danny Boyle, Jack O’Connell and company really make a splash, presenting a remarkable story with appropriate gusto and audacity that’s sure to make headlines in its own right. Go to Full Review Ink (2026) 72% - -

Joel Harley metro.co.uk Aug 31, 2026 3/5 Those expecting scenes of Nazi-killing mayhem shouldn’t come away too disappointed, even if the action choreography leaves something to be desired… and the CGI blood is particularly egregious. Go to Full Review The Last Temptation of Becky (2026) 100% - -

Tori Brazier metro.co.uk Aug 30, 2026 3/5 One Night Only’s premise is a bit off-putting, but if you want to brainlessly watch the central couple rather than consider the wider implications of this world then it’s perfectly serviceable. Go to Full Review One Night Only (2026) 44% - -

Asyia Iftikhar metro.co.uk Aug 22, 2026 4/5 If you’re looking for a movie where a bunch of drag queens try and almost fail to stop that train, then you’ve hit the jackpot. Will it stand the test of time? Who knows, but who cares… Condragulations! It’s a hit. Go to Full Review Stop! That! Train! (2026) 85% - -

Alicia Adejobi metro.co.uk Aug 19, 2026 3/5 It’s possibly the most chilling the series has been in years. Go to Full Review Insidious: Out of the Further (2026) 58% - -

Alana Anderson metro.co.uk Jul 29, 2026 5/5 The bond between the two is phenomenal -- Banderas' performance is tender, powerful, and an unexpected standout in the film. Go to Full Review Tony (2026) 93% - -

Adam Miller metro.co.uk Jul 17, 2026 4/5 By refusing to preserve Heartstopper in amber, Heartstopper Forever becomes a fitting farewell to a series that has always believed queer lives deserve to keep moving forward. Go to Full Review Heartstopper Forever (2026) 93% - -

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Jul 16, 2026 2/5 In an age of strongman leaders, we have never been in more need of Orwell’s Animal Farm. But this animated adaptation lacks not just teeth and claws – it lacks soul. Go to Full Review Animal Farm (2025) 29% - -

Tori Brazier metro.co.uk Jul 15, 2026 It feels especially insulting to be presenting a do-over cash-grab that’s been spun as a legacy movie just 10 years later. Go to Full Review Moana (2026) 33% - -

Joel Harley metro.co.uk Jul 8, 2026 4/5 It doesn’t make for easy viewing, and Vaniček somehow manages to up the ante in what was already one of horror cinema’s most consistently gruesome franchises. Go to Full Review Evil Dead Burn (2026) 70% - -
