  1. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
    Harold’s trek has its moments to savour, but Wilton seizes the day by sculpting her own mini Mike Leigh film on the side – armed with only a vacuum cleaner and a face like thunder.
  2. PET.E.R O'TOOLE: Along the Sky Road to Aqaba
    Director Jim Sheridan’s documentary painted a fond but nuanced portrait of a flawed genius. It meandered towards the end but so did O’Toole’s mercurial career.
  3. Control
    The Voice’s vengeful motives are ridiculous, and the audience is captive to the special dullness only a suspenseless potboiler can provide.
  4. 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.
  5. Strictly Confidential
    This is like picking holes in a mesh crop-top. The script’s so creaky it often sounds AI-generated.
  6. The Present
    The film’s forgettable fluff, but perfectly genial, and it’s hard to imagine many hardcore objections to curling up with it.
  7. Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa
    [Lhakpa's] resilience and sunny disposition light the film up, but it certainly shows a tough life, riven by conflicts, taking its toll.
  8. Twiggy
    This makes a better case that she was the first model everyone found relatable.
  9. Bank of Dave 2 : The Loan Ranger
    Ken Loach-style didactic social realism is all well and good, but Loan Ranger looks as if it was shot on a block of processed cheese and written with a bucket and mop.
  10. The Truth About Jussie Smollett?
    The evidence is inconclusive, and by the final credits we’re back where we started – confused about Smollett’s guilt or innocence, but aware that somebody on camera has to be lying through their teeth.
  11. Christmas Karma
    It is like watching British cinema undergo a deathbed hallucination.
  12. Moss & Freud
    The film lays out all these facts quite vividly, but the insights it’s peddling into art and beauty never get below the surface. It’s a deeper dimension – truth – that eludes it.
