I had the privilege of chatting to James Cosmo about his latest film, My Sailor, My Love, which you can read here. It was fantastic to talk to him. theupcoming.co.uk/2023/03/09…

CLAYFACE (2026) Review - [L]ike its eponymous character, this feature struggles to hold onto its identity as it morphs between a homage to the gooey melt movies of the 80s and a contrived revenge film. ★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/23…

CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS 2 Review - Director Kai Ikarashi and lead character designer Kanno Ichigo bring the fully realised setting of Night City back to the screen with an astonishing level of detail and style. ★★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/20…

THE TRAP Review - The result is a familiar but nevertheless compelling slow-burn thriller where everything isn’t as it seems. ★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/13…

OTHER MOMMY Review - Other Mommy has the bones of a heartfelt domestic horror. However, this adaptation is more concerned with delivering formulaic frights than telling an intimate family drama. ★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/09…

BELOW Review - The best way to enjoy Below is to completely suspend disbelief and go along for the ride, trusting that the cast will keep viewers in safe hands. ★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/08…

APRIL X (2026) Review - Unfortunately, despite Storrie’s best attempts to give a convincing performance, this sci-fi flick is clunky, disjointed and doesn’t have anything interesting to say. ★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/02…

KIKUYU LAND (2026) Review - Journalist Bea Wangondu explores the horrors of tea plantations in the sombre but somewhat scattered documentary Kikuyu Land ★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/02…

JUST PLAY DEAD Review - Despite a charismatic turn from Jackson, this deadly cat-and-mouse affair from Casino Royale director Martin Campbell isn’t funny enough to work as a comedy and is too convoluted to generate satisfying thrills. ★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/10/05…

THE LAST FIRST: WINTER K2 Review - The Last First is unlike most mountaineering films. ★★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/09/29…

AMERICCAN HORROR STORY 13 Review - There’s no doubt that 13 was made with superfans in mind. Not only is it thrilling to see Lange take centre stage, but this season shows signs of being a return to form for the horror anthology. ★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/09/25…

WONKA'S THE GOLDEN TICKET Review - Despite some creative practical effects, this reality game show is formulaic and artificial, the opposite of what Wonka’s factory should be. ★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/09/23…

MONSTER: THE LIZZIE BORDON STORY Review - The Lizzie Borden Story plays fast and loose with historical fact but delivers a stylish and addictive drama that’s carried by a dazzling ensemble cast. ★★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/09/17…

MobLand Season Two Review - It’s fast-paced, darkly funny at points and carried by an A-list ensemble that’s made even better by standout turns from Hardy and Flynn. ★★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/09/16…

BLUE FILM Review - While Moore and Birney’s compelling performances add nuanced layers to their characters, Tuttle’s handling of taboo themes offers more shock value than substance. ★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/09/11…

THE CYCLE OF LOVE (2026) Review - The Cycle of Love chronicles an unbelievable story of love and fate. ★★★★ @The_Upcoming theupcoming.co.uk/2026/09/14…
