Dir: Daniel Geller/Dayna Goldfine, US/UK, 2026, Music/Documentary. James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Natalie Merchant, Marianne Faithfull, Steve Martin, Eric Idle. "In a world without (enough) love comes Peter Asher: Everywhere Man, a documentary about the British musician who was half of Peter and Gordon, a Beatle chum/partner, and an influential producer of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and countless other legends. This joyful and surprisingly revelatory doc might be the greatest pop-music story you don’t already know. Six degrees of separation? Asher apparently has just one. He was truly everywhere." - Cameron Meier, MeierMovies

Dir: Anthony Maras, UK/France, 2026, Drama/Suspense. Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis. Winner, Truly Moving Picture Award, Heartland Film Festival. "The unforgettable Omaha Beach scene launching Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan consumed just 24 minutes. But what if the notoriously mercurial British weather had taken a bad turn during that critical seaborne attack? That’s the question behind this war thriller starring a stalwart Brendan Fraser as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower... the movie charts the 72-hour period before D-Day — and makes a hero out of stubborn British chief meteorological officer James Stagg (a compelling Andrew Scott). Based on real-life events, Stagg’s forecast for the assault’s appointed day and hour looks grim. His suggestion of attacking between waves of turbulent storms puts him at odds with the American forecaster and, potentially, Ike himself. We all know how it turned out, but Pressure cranks up the dramatic stress in a character-driven saga that retells a lesser-known side of a monumental moment in military history. Smashing!" —Thelma M. Adams, AARP.org. "An irresistible World War II drama." - San Francisco Chronicle

Dir: Mark Jenkin, UK, 2026, Drama. George MacKay, Callum Turner, Emily Daglish-Laine. "A local discovers a little fishing boat washed up on a quiet harbour... And so the scene is set for a time-twisting fishing village mystery: one that may never be solved, but remains atmospheric and intriguing throughout. The Rose of Nevada was lost at sea 30 years ago, along with its small crew, in the days when the fishing village prospered. Now, its scant population includes those still deep in mourning, and those struggling to provide for their families, such as Nick. When Nick agrees to join a fishing trip on the newly-returned trawler, an ominous, superstitious sense prevails. But rather than not coming home at all, Nick returns in a different year: 1993, a few years before he was even born. With him in this time loop is his crew mate Liam. Rather than being greeted as strangers, they are each welcomed back as a former crew member of the Rose. While the opportunistic Liam accepts being taken for the partner of a local, Nick is understandably freaked out to be mistaken for the son of his neighbours: a man he knows to be long dead in the present day... Rose of Nevada is very much its own film. Rooted in fishing folklore, it muses on myths and mystery, on the loss of livelihoods and loved ones. Eerie yet entertaining, it’s Jenkin’s most accessible film so far, while remaining anchored to his core Cornish principles." - Anna Smith, Time Out

Dir: Ildikó Enyedi, Germany, 2026, Drama. Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Léa Seydoux, Luna Wedler, Enzo Brumm. In German, English and Cantonese with English subtitles. Winner of 13 Film Festival Awards. "If we can communicate with our animals, why not also with our plants? This visually stunning triptych from Hungarian filmmaker Ildiko Enyedi is a cumulatively profound glimpse into the relationship between humans and nature. It toggles between three chronologically diverse stories set in the same German university garden — following a contemporary Hong Kong scientist, a late 1800s student, and another from the 1970s — each befriending a resilient Gingko biloba." - Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue. “It runs 147 minutes, and every single one of them is absolutely compelling… It consistently offers a feast for the eyes... Dramatically, it is equally strong as Enyedi takes the three storylines… and weaves them together in a way that allows each to inform the other and explore the central idea of mankind’s ongoing relationship with nature... Silent Friend is a true original, one of those cinematic events that, once seen, will not be easily forgotten.” - Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com

Dir: Stephan Elliott, Australia, 1994, Comedy/Drama. Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp Winner, Academy Award, Best Costumes. "Brilliantly bitchy, fabulously photographed and wonderfully played, this Australian frock opera addresses serious issues with satirical accuracy and profound insight. Tossing the niceties of sexual politics out of the window of a speeding bus, director Stephan Elliott sets about exposing the soft underbelly of the Australian male. Two drag queens and a transgender woman travel across the outback in a dilapidated coach for a gig in that bastion of machismo, Alice Springs, en route finding themselves in all manner of hilarious fish-out-of-water situations. As they gaily bemuse Aborigines, bait vicious homophobes and find kindred spirits among Australia's diverse immigrant communities, they come to terms not only with their own shortcomings, but also with Australia's countless contradictions. Ingeniously cast against type, Terence Stamp is a revelation as the hard-drinking Bernadette, but he's matched all the way by the versatile Hugo Weaving and the dashing Guy Pearce." - David Parkinson, Radio Times (UK)

Dir: Francesco Sossai, Italy, 2025, Comedy/Drama. Filippo Scotti, Sergio Romano, Pierpaolo Capovilla. In Italian with English subtitles. Winner of 8 Donatello Awards (Italy's Oscars), including Best Film, Director, Actor, Screenplay, and Song. “Set in Veneto, this lively comedy deconstructs the road movie genre as three men travel in circles looking for their next final drink together… Highlighting local culture and landscapes… It's a charmer of a film that keeps a smile on our faces all the way through. After drinking all day, childhood friends Carlobianchi and Doriano are beginning to feel a bit tired as they begin killing some time before collecting their pal Genio from Venice airport in the morning… They run into a group of partying university students. Bringing young Giulio with them as they continue through the night, they revisit old haunts and have a series of mini-adventures… Amusing details fill each encounter… as they crisscross the countryside, filling in their back-story with witty flashbacks to their youth… Meanwhile, their antics are packed with realistic flourishes that are funny, surprising and even moving… Carlobianchi and Doriano extend their open-hearted, inebriated joy to Giulio… It's wonderful to watch him slowly awaken to the possibilities of life… Giulio is uncomfortable interacting with these older men, but their open-hearted worldview is contagious. And they also begin to see through his eyes, discovering new details about this corner of the world… Human connections, even across seemingly unsurmountable cultural barriers, are everything.” – Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

Dir: Haifaa Al-Mansour, Saudi Arabia, 2026, Mystery/Drama. Mila Al Zahrani, Aziz Gharbawi, Shafi Al Harthi, Adwa Alasiri. In Arabic with English subtitles. “Unidentified delivers a searing, female-driven story that goes beyond genre conventions to explore deep cultural and gender dynamics in Saudi Arabia. Director Haifaa Al-Mansour’s film unfolds like a straightforward crime thriller, but it’s the surprise twist in the second half that really gives the film its bite. The story revolves around the discovery of a young woman’s body in the desert that can’t be identified. The Riyadh police bring in Nawal, a receptionist with a keen interest in true crime, to assist their all-male investigative team. Nawal’s unique perspective and determination drive the film forward, as she navigates a patriarchal system reluctant to confront uncomfortable truths... The slow build pays off with a gripping, emotionally charged second half that elevates the film from a basic procedural into something much more profound… The film’s exploration of the limits (and silent rebellions) of female Saudi culture is insightful and nuanced, avoiding stereotypes and instead offering a complex portrait of women navigating a patriarchal society... The final act’s tension and revelations make for a powerful conclusion... Unidentified is a smart, socially conscious thriller that grows into its story." - Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots
