  • Gladiator II (2024)
    Review preview for Gladiator II

    David Scarpa’s screenplay wisely keeps the political machinations on a slow simmer, so that they are easily followed and don’t get in the way of the nicely worked set-pieces Scott has in store.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4 out of 5
    A man seeks vengeance as a gladiator in Rome after his wife is killed in a raid.
  • Kraven The Hunter (2024)
    Review preview for Kraven The Hunter

    A film doesn't have to have a message, or a moral; indeed if its only motive is mercenary then that's fine, as long as it entertains. Kraven just doesn't.

    Andrew Robertson · 2 out of 5
    Kraven's complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff, starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, motivating him to become not only the greatest hunter in the world, but also one of its most feared.
  • A Long Winter (2026)
    Review preview for A Long Winter

    Worse than incomplete, Haigh's film lacks a fully developed soul. This is in spite of striking aesthetic moments and sharply written scenes complemented by strong performances from the cast.

    Paul Risker · 2.5 out of 5
    Returning to his childhood home deep in the mountains, Mike is drawn back into the quiet rituals of family life as the clan prepares for the winter ahead.
  • Thelma (2024)
    Review preview for Thelma

    Silly in places but smart in others, and well structured throughout.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.
  • Vox Lux (2018)
    Review preview for Vox Lux

    Even its vapidity fails to contribute anything new to the subject matter it's dealing with.

    Jennie Kermode · 2 out of 5
    A survivor of a school shooting goes on to become a pop star.
