Jay Kelly (Noah Baumbach, 2025)

‘Jay Kelly’ is an intriguing, lightly satirical drama – bound for Netflix but with a small theatrical run – and it’s very much built around the iconography of George Clooney, who is essentially playing a version of himself. Clooney’s character, Jay Kelly, is a beloved movie star who realizes, rather late in life, that he has spectacularly failed his daughters. In a moment of epiphany, he abandons a major film shoot – possibly his last – and sets off to track one of them down while she is holidaying in Italy....

Christmas Karma (Gurinder Chadha, 2025)

‘Christmas Karma’ is a Bollywood reimagining of Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’, and I went in rather sceptically, not least because of the uniformly terrible reviews it has received. The first twenty minutes didn’t help: it feels like a parody of a parody, complete with a singing taxi driver and a tone that wobbles uncomfortably close to pantomime. But then the film suddenly reveals its hand, delivering an unexpectedly rich and inventive modern-day variation on the Scrooge story....

Cabin at the Movies Saturday 22 November 2025

Jacqui Delbaere from Herne Bay’s The Little Green Bookshop is my guest on this week's Cabin at the Movies. Jacqui takes us from one of her earliest big-screen memories - The Jungle Book - through a brilliant mix of classics including The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Saturday Night Fever and Trainspotting. Join us for great conversation, nostalgia, and some unforgettable movie moments. I also give my verdict on on Wicked: For Good, The Choral, Nuremberg, and One Battle After Another.

Wicked: For Good (Jon M. Chu, 2025)

Many of the original characters return in this sequel, and we get several tangential links to ‘The Wizard of Oz’. We never actually see Dorothy’s face, but we glimpse her and her companions on the Yellow Brick Road. These moments, though, are secondary to the film’s main focus: the evolving relationship between the witches. As with the first Wicked, the film questions what “wicked” really means and challenges the binary labels we’re used to....

Pillion (Harry Lighton, 2025)

I caught ‘Pillion’ at a Cineworld Secret Screening, where no one knows what they’re about to see. Within ten minutes, there’s a graphic moment that did lead a couple of people to walk out – but anyone who stayed was rewarded with a tender, surprisingly moving film about unconventional relationships and emotional vulnerability. Harry Melling plays Colin, a soft-spoken, lonely gay man who hasn’t had much luck in love....

Left-Handed Girl (Shih-Ching Tsou, 2025)

‘Left-Handed Girl’ is a vivid, fast-moving drama shot entirely on iPhones, and it has the unmistakable energy of a Sean Baker project – fitting, as Baker, fresh off his Oscar win for ‘Anora’, serves as producer, writer and editor. The story follows a single mother and her two daughters as they relocate to the bustling night markets of Taipei. The elder girl dresses provocatively and looks for connection in all the wrong places, while the five-year-old has developed a curious habit: she steals small items and blames it on her “cursed” left hand, a superstition planted by her grandfather....

Alpha (Julia Ducournau, 2025)

‘Alpha’ is a difficult film to categorise. On the surface, it plays like an allegory of the AIDS epidemic – a story where infection through sexual contact leads to physical deterioration and, ultimately, death. But it also leans into sci-fi, with a surreal virus that slowly turns parts of the body into marble, complete with striking CGI imagery of cracked stone and flowing blood....
