Cuckoo (2024): Dir. Tilman Singer
Feat. Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens, Marton Csokas…; A truly strange and unpredictable horror movie that sustains an off-kilter and discombobulating atmosphere throughout its runtime. American teenager Gretchen moves to a picturesque resort town in the German Alps with her father, stepmother and half-sister, where feeling like an outsider in her family is…
There's Still Tomorrow (2023): Dir. Paola Cortellesi
Feat. Paola Cortellesi, Valerio Mastandrea, Vinicio Marchioni; An audacious, bittersweet comedy-drama that swept the Italian Oscars and broke domestic box-office records. Directed, co-written and starring Paola Cortellesi, it’s a tale of domestic hardship (and violence) in post-WWII Italy, filmed in black-and-white as a homage to Italian neo-realism but updated…
Godzilla Minus One (2023): Dir. Takashi Yamazaki
Feat. Ryunosuke Kamiki, Sakura Ando; Hailed by some as the greatest Godzilla film since the monster's sombre genesis in 1954. As with the original, a wartime subtext and some genuinely sad moments provide emotional heft, and the scenes in which Godzilla appears are genuinely scary and suspenseful. A visual spectacle.

Àma Gloria (2023): Feat. Louise Mauroy-Panzani, Ilça Moreno Zego; Centred by an extraordinary child performance, this is an exquisite French drama bathed in the milk of human kindness in the face of heart-breaking circumstance. It’s the story of a bereft six-year-old French girl and her West African nanny who is forced to return to her native Cape Verde to tend her…
Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023): Dir. Ariane Louis-Seize
Feat. Sara Montpetit, Félix-Antoine Bénard, Marie Brassard…; A delightfully deadpan French-Canadian comedy about a doleful adolescent vampire who is too compassionate to kill for her special dietary needs, and instead yearns to be a regular mortal goth girl. Ariane Louis-Seize’s coming-of-age romance follows in a long line of vampire parodies but it provides easy…
