What our reviewer said \u201cBarnett is determined to confront viewers with the constant struggle that belies her professional achievements and family life.\u201d Rachel Aroesti<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cCumming keeps the spiky, idiosyncratic Leo just the right side of likable and relatable and Morrissey does his usual magnificent lot.\u201d Lucy Mangan<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cAmerican Classic\u2019s combination of charm, wit and tenderness \u2013 and especially the encouragement to forgive ordinary human frailties \u2013 is reminiscent of Ted Lasso and Schitt\u2019s Creek.\u201d Lucy Mangan<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cCampillo and Cantet show us that the agonies of being young and existentially rebellious are not simply shallow and callow: they represent a state of idealism which is poignantly brief, like everything else about youth.\u201d Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThe thrust of the film is largely polemic, guiding the viewer towards AI-sceptical conclusions one persuasive soundbite at a time.\u201d Leslie Felperin<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThere is something very refreshing about the calm, collaborative creativity being presented here.\u201d Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThe key irony of the title is that of course no one on screen is a misfit: they fit in all too well with the stark landscape and each other in their loneliness, their discontent and their yearning for something else or something more to live for.\u201d Peter Bradshaw<\/p>\n

What our reviewer said \u201cSanghera traces Michael\u2019s progress from pudgy, acne-ridden teen, to pop star girls screamed at, to gay icon, and is packed with anecdotes, sharp analysis and context.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cAs a novel Land feels somehow uncomfortable in its own skin, neither fable nor history nor family saga.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cA literary performance like no other, this coming-of-age meets state-of-the-nation novel tears through Britain\u2019s social fabric to examine toxic masculinity, community and youth culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cOne of the pleasures of The Children is that you\u2019re quite some way through it before you figure out what, exactly, it is. Is it a psychological drama, a haunted house story, or a dark fairytale?\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cShe urges us to reject altogether the idea of patching up \u2018market failures\u2019, or treating social and economic problems as nasty but inevitable side-effects of economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cIn this delightful book, part memoir, part anthropological investigation, food writer Wilson explores the way that kitchen objects have the power to move, soothe and even reproach us.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cEyes Full couples a rough-and-tumble sound with real tenderness: in the here-and-now, it\u2019s a wild, beautiful thing.\u201d Katie Hawthorne<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cPerhaps the zeitgeist has simply left her behind \u2013 the era of body positivity has been displaced by the era of Ozempic and Mounjaro; the kind of post-pandemic, post-Trump optimism now sounds like a transmission from a distant lost age.\u201d Alexis Petridis<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThey perform on period instruments but there\u2019s nothing academic about these fresh-as-a-daisy interpretations \u2013 among the Op 12, the D major sonata crackles with an almost capricious theatricality.\u201d Clive Paget<\/p>\n
What our reviewer said \u201cThese moments demonstrate her proficiency as a songwriter as well as an experimentalist \u2013 among the abstraction are shades of left-field pop and modern classical.\u201d Safi Bugel<\/p>\n
