Movieversalfilm’s movie reviews are written for UK viewers first: every verdict tells you what a film is, who it is for, and whether it is worth a trip to the cinema or a night in with Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+ or the BBC. Our Super Reviews are spoiler-free, scored and built around a simple question: should you watch it?

Each film review starts with the essentials, including UK release date, certificate, runtime and where to watch, then a Viewer Match that sums up the mood, pace and the kind of viewer who will love it (or should skip it). After that comes proper criticism of the performances, direction, screenplay, score and cinematography, ending with a clear verdict, a score out of ten and a star rating. We cover big studio releases and festival favourites as well as the horror, sci-fi and streaming originals that other UK film review sites often miss, so whatever you are deciding to watch this weekend, there is a recommendation waiting for you.
Below you will find our latest film reviews, newest first, followed by quick routes into genres, streaming services and the franchises we follow most closely. New reviews are added throughout the week, so this page is always up to date.
