Simon Kinnear Total Film Sep 4, 2026 5/5 Blood-splattered proof that the medium can do more than cute critters. Go to Full Review Akira (1988) 88% 86%

Molly Edwards Total Film Jun 24, 2026 3.5/5 Just like its protagonist, Supergirl is rough around the edges, but holds plenty of promise for the future. Go to Full Review Supergirl (2026) 52% - -

Jordan Farley Total Film Jun 9, 2026 4.5/5 Heady stuff for a summer blockbuster, but Spielberg knows the audience better than anyone, and Disclosure Day is, first and foremost, a rollicking ride. Go to Full Review Disclosure Day (2026) 79% - -

Total Film Staff Total Film May 21, 2026 3/5 Everyone involved rises above the limitations of a film aimed primarily at teenage girls. Plus, while the pacing could use work, you can forgive it all and just enjoy the quality humour on display. Go to Full Review Legally Blonde (2001) 75% 66%

Jo-Ann Titmarsh Total Film May 18, 2026 4/5 In the midst of the film’s fabulous cast, Efira’s performance is its warm beating heart. Go to Full Review All of a Sudden (2026) 92% - -

Will Salmon Total Film Jan 13, 2026 4/5 Visceral and adrenalized from the off, this is by some way the wildest and the weirdest entry into the recently revived sort-of-zombie saga. Go to Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 91% - -

Total Film Staff Total Film Jan 7, 2026 4/5 There's much to relish here: a script which mixes pungent humour and tension, the pervading atmosphere of corruption and obsession, and a perfectly judged, tragically stoical performance from the sleepy-eyed Mitchum.

Molly Edwards Total Film Nov 11, 2025 2/5 Ultimately, The Running Man is a run-of-the-mill action flick, which is bitterly disappointing for a film adapted from a Stephen King story, helmed by a skilled filmmaker like Edgar Wright, and starring one of cinema's most promising leading men.

Ali Catterall Total Film Sep 25, 2025 3/5 A great-looking (and sounding) slow-boiler. Go to Full Review Outland (1981) 63% 54%

Philip Kemp Total Film Sep 25, 2025 4/5 This, you can sense, is a film to be admired for its sheer classy visual panache… but not taken too seriously. Go to Full Review The Hunger (1983) 64% 66%

Simon Kinnear Total Film Sep 25, 2025 4/5 Hill’s lean direction wastes nothing, with plenty to admire in the fight choreography, period detail and the stars’ chemistry, even if the film is stolen by veteran Strother Martin as a dandified medic. Go to Full Review Hard Times (1975) 71% 81%

Total Film Staff Total Film Sep 4, 2025 5/5 Rob Reiner's fake "rockumentary" about the US reunion tour of British heavy-metal gurus Spinal Tap manages to be both consistently funny and - particularly to the many genuine bands who have claimed it as a tour bus favourite - painfully plausible.

Dan Jolin Total Film Aug 23, 2025 ...Requiem For A Dream is so efficiently devastating that it resonates like the echo of a dying scream. Beautifully executed, but spine-jarringly uncomfortable stuff. Go to Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 81% 93%

Jordan Farley Total Film Jul 8, 2025 4/5 It’s a triumphant reinvention for the character, taking Superman back to a more hopeful, optimistic place and situating him in an unapologetically strange comic-book world that feels refreshingly distinct from the last two decades of superhero fare.

Jack Shepherd Total Film Jun 30, 2025 3/5 There’s a palpable sense that Rebirth needed a little longer time incubating than it was given. Still, Edwards proves once more to have an eye for brilliant set-pieces and staging. Go to Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% - -

Total Film Staff Total Film Jun 25, 2025 Johnston keeps it pacy and satisfyingly suspenseful, so while it's never quite breathtaking, it's never boring either. Go to Full Review Jurassic Park III (2001) 49% 37%

Emily Garbutt Total Film Jun 25, 2025 3.5/5 Like its predecessor, M3GAN 2.0 is a lot of campy, silly fun. It zips along nicely, until it sort of doesn't, and the final act begins to falter in both plot and pacing as the movie is forced to confront its most significant limitation.

Neil Smith Total Film Jun 18, 2025 3/5 Come for the propulsive, heart-in-mouth first half, then, and stay for the risk-taking second. Go to Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% - -

Amy West Total Film Jun 5, 2025 5/5 It's clear Wassung and Trachtenberg just get it. Somehow, they're able to push the sci-fi envelope and offer up fresh images and ideas the series has yet to see, while also appealing to diehard fans with Easter eggs.

Jack Shepherd Total Film Jun 4, 2025 3.5/5 It makes for a tonally consistent movie, though one that fails to deliver on a deeper emotional level... It's a shame, because the action really is brilliant, even if the plot gives you a sense of déjà vu. Whoa. Go to Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% - -
