If you’re looking for a bit of lighthearted fun, One of Them Days is one release you won’t want to miss!

French Film Fest 2025 Review - Meet the Leroys
Meet the Leroys (Nous, les Leroy), the directorial debut of Florent Bernard, is a 102-minute French dramedy that explores the emotional toll of divorce on an entire family.
Film Review - Hard Truths
Hard Truths is a masterclass in great writing and acting, and despite a shaky ending, still packs a huge punch.
Film Review - The Monkey
The Monkey is a weird and fundamentally unserious, yet somehow still kind of moving experience. The end result is an absolutely fantastic time at the movies, a testament to taking wild career swings and giving the audience the maximum bang for their buck in terms of entertainment value.
Europa Europa Film Fest 2025 - Finally, Sunday!
Occasionally awkward performances and deliveries are mostly forgiven by this fine adaption of a scandalous mystery.

What is art without family? Although providing no concrete answer, Arens does tell us that life is worth creating, and creativity comes from those around us.
Europa Europa Film Fest 2025 Review - They Will Be Dust
if you’re into making a mockery of death, ethereal dancing, classical art allegories, and ‘tacky’ playlists then They Will be Dust is the film for you.
Film Review - Heart Eyes
Heart Eyes is certainly a commendable addition to the horror-comedy genre, offering a refreshing take on the slasher formula without reinventing the wheel.
Film Review - 10 Lives
If you’re looking for a film to watch with your family, this one won’t set your world on fire, but it’s sure to incite some excitement from younger audiences all the same.
Film Review - Moana 2
“What lies beyond” Moana 2’s eye-catching animation and lavish island and ocean scenes, is a celebration of culture and identity that Disney has somehow gotten right after so many ill-fated attempts at representation in recent times.
Film Review - Sonic the Hedgehog 3
For the fans, Sonic 3 remixes and updates one of the most popular Sonic adventures in ways that bring a new speed to a classic narrative.
Film Review - Anora
Anora is a technical masterpiece - Baker’s approach to casting leads the audience to believe they’re watching a documentary instead of a drama.
Film Review - The Room Next Door
This film proves that the rich cinematic style of Almodóvar transcends all kinds of language barriers.
Film Review - Under Streetlights
Under Streetlights is an appealing feel-good film from Australia’s outback core, and a triumph of independent Aussie filmmaking.
Film Review - Rumours
Rumours is worth commending for its sheer gaul, but ultimately, it's biting off far more than it can chew.
Film Review - Your Monster
Subverting expectations and blending genres, Your Monster is an endearing love letter to the ones who’ve had their hearts broken, and gives them permission to embrace their fury.
Film Review - Goodrich
Goodrich may not be particularly groundbreaking, and there are definitely other slightly better movies out there like it. However, it’s so endearing that it is impossible not to be charmed, with Keaton being the pièce de résistance.
Greek Film Fest 2024 Review - Hear Who’s Talking
If you’re into switch-off-and-enjoy movies, ruining professional relationships, hilarious flashback montages, and alcoholic priests, then Hear Who’s Talking is the film for you.
Film Review - Kneecap
Kneecap follows a fictionalised origin of the Irish rap group Kneecap, pioneered by brothers Liam Óg and Naoise Ó Hannaidh.
