A colourful resort break turns into a Gobta showcase in Tears of the Azure Sea. The pacing takes a while to heat up, but the grounded action and sweet Gobta and Yura bond make this a charming side story for long-time Slime fans. We give it a relaxing 3 out of 5!

Caterpillar (2026)
The film’s simplicity is one of its greatest strengths. It does not try to overcomplicate its narrative or force its themes. Instead, it trusts the audience to recognise the universal experiences at its core. The fear of losing someone before they are gone. The frustration of feeling unseen. The longing to be understood. The guilt that comes with wanting something for yourself when others need you. We give it an endearing 4 out of 5!

Project Hail Mary (2026)
Project Hail Mary is a sci-fi adventure with genuine heart. It is slow in places and occasionally clunky, but it is also warm, funny, visually striking, and anchored by one of the most charming interspecies friendships ever put on screen. We rate it an endearing 4 out of 5!

Sirāt (2025)
Laxe has created a film that is difficult, frustrating, and unforgettable. It lingers not because of what happens, but because of how it feels. Sirāt is a reminder that some stories are not meant to guide you. They are meant to leave you wandering long after the credits fade. We rate it a confronting 5 out of 5!

Crime 101 (2026)
Keoghan’s performance in particular gives the #Crime101 a jolt of unpredictability that prevents it from feeling too safe. Layton’s direction is steady, and the adaptation captures the broad strokes of Winslow’s story even if it does not fully embrace the moral complexity that makes his work so compelling. We give it a competent 3 out of 5!

No Other Choice (2025)
No Other Choice is a film that rewards patience but demands tolerance for discomfort. It is visually inventive, thematically rich, and anchored by a magnetic central performance. Its refusal to settle into a single tone, combined with its deliberate pacing, makes it a polarizing experience. We rate it a disconcerting 4 out of 5!

It Was Just An Accident (2025)
It Was Just an Accident is a film that lingers not because it delivers a tidy conclusion, but because it refuses to. It’s a quiet, stripped‑back work that leans into uncertainty, letting tension build in the pauses and unfinished thoughts. (...) it sits with discomfort and trusts the audience to sit with it too. We rate it a tense 4 out of 5!

Deeper (2025)
At its core, Deeper feels like a personal tribute from Harris to the pursuit that shaped his life. It is a reflection on a hobby that grew into a calling and eventually propelled him into global recognition after the Thai cave rescue(...) It is informative and often compelling, although it does not always deliver the level of tension or scientific detail that some viewers may hope for. We rate it a solid 3 out of 5.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
By the time the credits roll, The Bone Temple has reshaped the franchise. It is not larger in scope. It is deeper in spirit. It digs into the infected, into language, into belief, and into the strange ways people rebuild meaning after the world ends. It is messy, uneven, and occasionally baffling. We give it a 4 out of 5 for creativity!
