Tannhäuser Gate

UK Release Date:  26 December 2025 Director:  Joachim Trier Cast:  Elle Fanning, Anders Danielsen Lie, Øyvind Hesjedal Loven, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Cory Michael Smith Runtime:  133 mins Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ ½ Review: Renate Reinsve delivers an astonishingly intimate, up-close and personal performance as stage actress Nora Borg.  A depiction of family trauma and estrangement that despite its elevated context is incredibly relatable to the wider audience. Reinsve is phenomenal at portraying a beautiful level of sincerity. There’s a delicate honesty to her emotional responses to the actions of others around her that makes her grief resonate.  Reinsve is superbly supported by a breakthrough performance from Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, a distinct turn from Elle Fanning but most notably a compassionate portrayal of absent father, Gustav Borg, from Stellan Skarsgård. A role that Skarsgård has expressed identifiable similarit...

UK Release Date:  13 February 2026 Director:  Emerald Fennell Cast:  Hong Chau, Martin Clunes, Owen Cooper, Jacob Elordi, Shazad Latif, Charlotte Mellington, Ewan Mitchell, Amy Morgan, Alison Oliver, Margot Robbie Runtime:  136 mins Rating:  ⭐⭐ ⭐ ½   Review: Throughout Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights there is a sonic presence felt, both from the soundtrack and the score. Off the back of cultural phenomenon, BRAT , Charli xcx writes and performs the film's original music. A complete career shift, reinventing herself for this companion album. A strange mix of gothic vocals and pop heavy instrumentation that somehow matches the tone of the film. There's an angelic and transcendent quality to the tracks  Dying for You , Chains of Love and Open up , used expertly within the narrative. An ever-present element carried through to Anthony B. Willis' ethereal score.  Not only is Wuthering Heights audibly accomplished but also a breathtaking piece of ...

UK Release Date:  17 November 2023 Director:  Emerald Fennell Cast:  Jacob Elordi, Richard E. Grant, Barry Keoghan, Archie Madekwe, Ewan Mitchell, Carey Mulligan, Alison Oliver, Rosamund Pike, Paul Rhys Runtime:  131 mins Rating:  ⭐⭐ ½   Review: Within the first 45 minutes of Saltburn , Emerald Fennell delivers a  joyous breath of fresh air. Visually depicting the seemingly unreachable highs of student life at University before abrasively cutting to severely isolating lows. Subsequently, sweeping both the audience and characters off their feet by delivering a Summer of complete unadulterated freedom. A fervour of emotion, audibly anchored by a generation of formative indie rock bands - Arcade Fire, Bloc Party and MGMT amongst others. A film fitting for the period of life it occupies.   A large aspect of what initially makes Saltburn a euphoric experience is its technical quality. Linus Sandgren, of Babylon and La La Land , brings a dreamlike sur...

UK Release Date:  26 December 2025 Director:  Josh Safdie Cast:  Odessa A'zion, Sandra Bernhard, Timothée Chalamet, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara, Koto Kawaguchi, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Gregory Okonma, Gwyneth Paltrow, Géza Röhrig Runtime: 150 mins Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ ½ Review: Marty Supreme , a vessel for Timothée Chalamet to flex his development as an actor over the past decade. An undeniable force both on and off the screen. An outlandish performance energised by his unfiltered swagger. Playing a character, in Marty Mauser, that is undeniably self-centred and indulgent, wired to the point it almost becomes off-putting to watch. Yet, Chalamet somehow manages to play the role with a level of genuine sincerity. An obsessed performer that is doomed from the start, the crowning work of his career to date.  The inventive title card of Marty Supreme , sets the tone for what follows in the remaining runtime. Transitioning from a lively sex scene into a visual depiction of ...
