    Kneecap
    Most impressively of all, Peppiatt captures the raw power of a great rap song. Hard-punching and cheerfully riotous, the film directs a well-placed kick at the nether regions to anyone who insists music, politics and cinema cannot mix.

    The Promised Land
    The vast mournfulness of northern Jutland is wonderfully evoked by Arcel. Yet his true fascination is with Mikkelsen’s weathered face – every crevice and cranny is lingered over obsessively.

    The Beekeeper
    For all the stodginess, the action is dynamic – often shockingly gory – and enthusiastically marshalled by David Ayer.

    James Blunt: One Brit Wonder
    This agreeable film pushes past the stereotype of Blunt as the second coming of Chris de Burgh and delivers an affecting portrait of a posh pop star who has endured a lifetime of vitriol.

    Thanksgiving
    For giddy gore-hounds, Roth’s Thanksgiving is a bloody feast to savour.

    Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
    It is a valentine to the kind of innocent adolescence that modern teenagers will never have a chance to experience.

    All Quiet on the Western Front
    Berger’s evocation of war and its horrors ultimately connects not at an intellectual level but where it truly matters: in the gut.

    The Colour Room
    For all the contrivances, it’s hard to deny the Colour Room’s charms. Ceramics are cold to the touch and shatter easily – but this film is gooey and generous and sure to impart a warm glow.

    Oliver Sacks: His Own Life
    Sacks, humble and charming to the end, makes for such agreeable company that it’s hard to object to the hyperbole.

    Free Guy
    Levy ultimately wants to yank the heart-strings more than poke the grey matter. And as Free Guy breaks free from his programming and explores the world on its own terms, the film has lots to say about loyalty, friendship and love.

    Military Wives
    In a classic Brit-com flanking manoeuvre, the film tries to simultaneously reduce the viewer to tears while inviting us to bask in the fuzzy glow of our friends and neighbours’s innate decency. Luckily it succeeds, thanks in no small part to the commitment shown by Horgan and Scott Thomas.
