    Chevalier
    While Harrison’s performance may never fully reveal the nature of the man beneath these sumptuous layers of organza, silk and self-confidence, it’s enchanté Chevalier, all the same.

    Memory
    Gradually and delicately, Sylvia and Saul’s tessellating traumas are revealed by a beautifully balanced pair of lead performances.

    One Night in Miami
    This feels like history-in-the-making, as both a fresh insight into the interior lives of historical figures and a snapshot of a future filmmaking great just getting started.

    Echo
    The cumulative effect is like strolling through a Reykjavik gallery where each painting moves within its well-chosen frame.

    Dìdi
    This film understands that, irrespective of where your parents were born, or what part of the world they raised you in, if you grew up in the late 00s, you grew up primarily online.

    Stamped from the Beginning
    The film’s particular innovation is to privilege Black women’s perspectives on the history of American racism, and with the exception of Kendi himself, every expert commentator here is a Black woman.

    Miss Juneteenth
    For anyone who values diverse storytelling, Peoples’ portrait of a hardworking woman on the up is a tale of hopefulness – and a reason to hope in itself.

    El Conde
    Larraín’s film demonstrates a palate for mordant humour as refined as the count’s taste for blood.

    Lucky Grandma
    The result is a film that’s people-pleasing in inverse proportion to its grouchy heroine.

    Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell
    These mid-90s, north-west Brooklyn specificities are fascinating and relevant; to Biggie’s art, certainly, but possibly also to his death.

    The Monkey
    Such intricate genre mechanisms are fundamental to The Monkey’s construction, but the film also has a heart that beats with authentic human emotion.

    A Life on the Farm
    Harding’s film proves movingly open-minded on the subject of the strange things isolation can do, but as a neighbour he might have been nosier. English reserve seems to have prevented further prying into the circumstances that created this English eccentric.
