What might have played as a gripping contained thriller in the mold of The Guilty becomes something far more overwhelming through filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania’s unconventional approach.

Despite a narrative that largely ditches the moral ambiguity that made the BBC series so compelling, this return to the world of Peaky Blinders should please fans.

This adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel keeps the science grounded but contains such emotional moments of first contact that it resonates on the same crowd-pleasing level as E.T.

A gorgeous new 4K restoration of the film approved by director Mamoru Oshii premiered at last year’s Cannes Film Festival and opens in Prague cinemas this weekend.

This trenchant satire from director Gore Verbinski with an ingratiating central performance from Sam Rockwell manages to be incredibly timely, laugh-out-loud funny, and impressively staged and designed on a tight budget.

This masterfully-crafted film from exiled Iranian director Jafar Panahi flawlessly blends nail-biting suspense, bitter political satire, and moments of laugh-out-loud comedy.

The shockingly amateurish presentation and laughably contrived script serve as a throwback to slasher films from the 1980s in all the worst ways.

This playfully droll triptych varies in tone and quality from segment to segment, and not every one hits the right mark, but two out of three ain’t bad.

Cold Storage manages to be both shocking and funny without selling out on either genre, and rates alongside films like Tremors, Slither, and Attack the Block among the top of its class.

While this one never comes close to the Michael Mann classic, it benefits from appealing performances and gorgeous location cinematography on the streets of L.A.

This indie horror film from YouTuber-turned filmmaker Mark Fischbach is intense and richly atmospheric, if a little long in the tooth, and outdoes similar Hollywood projects going for the same vibe

The worldwide theatrical release of this film has expectedly sparked a politically charged reaction, but there is genuine interest in an inside look at a figure who has largely remained out of the spotlight.

This cinematic stress test from filmmaker Josh Safdie follows in the footsteps of the director’s Good Time and Uncut Gems in escalating the rat-a-tat tension to almost unbearable levels.
