Read music video reviews by film critics at UK Film Review. Submit your music video for review by clicking Get Reviewed at the top of the website. Music Video Reviews One of the most exciting sub-genres our critics review is music videos. They are often incredible pieces of storytelling, either in their own right or aligned with the song playing over them. On this page you will find a great selection of music video reviews from the team of critics at UK Film Review. If you are a filmmaker or artist who would like us to review your music video, submit your film here . When it comes to reviewing a music video, the process differs slightly from perhaps a narrative short film or documentary. The music has to be explored far more intimately than if it were a soundtrack because that's where the story originates from rather than being added further down the line. Music videos do conform to genres but these are often musical genres rather than film categories, for example pop, folk, rock, rap etc. So this will also influence the music video review our critics write because the target audience is going to be considered. Music videos may take a variety of forms or even combine different aspects to create a different effect on the viewer. For example, it is common for a music video to contain a small narrative, as well as live performance footage. Top filmmakers making music videos will be able to immerse you into the song and story without leaving you feeling like you have just watched a promo piece. Choreography is also a common trait in music videos, with dance sequences and flash mobs recurring - often in pop music videos. Editors of music videos will have their work cut out to ensure the choreography looks tight and engaging without it feeling staged or lifeless. Hopefully the array of music video reviews you see below will include some gems for you to peruse. Don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the article, as we often include the actual music video so you can watch it for yourself. 2024 Patrick Foley The Road Back Patrick Foley It Feels Good Jason Knight All My Life Jason Knight Unspoken by LT Jason Knight A-Train: New Beginnings Jason Knight The Dragonborn Comes-Main Theme Jason Knight The Panharmonion Chronicles: Times of London Patrick Foley Lost All Care Joe Beck Bitter Cherry – Hunger Short Film Review alexjames96 Jun 3 2 min read Ain’t my Vibe Short Music Video Review alexjames96 Jun 6, 2024 2 min read Cinerama (Music Video) Short Film Review alexjames96 Mar 17, 2024 2 min read Homecoming (Music Video) Short Film Review alexjames96 Dec 19, 2023 2 min read Sheep F-cked In the Head Short Film Review alexjames96 Nov 16, 2023 2 min read Service for The King short film review Theo Aug 1, 2022 2 min read More Film Reviews

Spoilers can often be one of these things! Whilst we do our best to ensure that major plot points, twists, character deaths and celebrity cameos are not found in our reviews, it can sometimes be difficult to judge what each and every film lover on the planet would to be a spoiler. If you feel that one of our film reviews contains one too many details then please do let us (politely) know using our social media platforms. We may then take serious action, such as expelling the critic responsible from this and every other movie publication past and present, declaring war against the studio for leading our writer into temptation, or we may do nothing at all. To be honest, it is most likely going to be the latter unless some serious rules have been broken. You may also see some movie trailers in our reviews that could also contain potential spoilers. In which case anyone who is hoping to avoid these should probably not click the play button on them. Or click the play button, turn the sound down on your device, then leave the room for a least 28 minutes whilst the trailer finishes and leaves your life naturally. You may be wondering what you could do with all 28 of those minutes! Why not read some more film reviews on another device? Or make a short film of your cat playing with a piece of string? Spend it wisely guys and gals.

Film Feature by Chris Olson As Editor-in-Chief at UK Film Review , I've seen countless films from every angle imaginable, and I can tell you that the role of a film critic extends far beyond just writing reviews. Our deep understanding of cinema, from storytelling mechanics to audience reception, makes us surprisingly valuable consultants for various industry players. It’s a natural evolution of our expertise, offering a fresh, objective perspective that filmmakers, distributors, and marketing teams often need. For film production companies , a critic's eye can be incredibly insightful from the earliest stages. When a script is being developed, we can offer crucial feedback on its narrative strengths and weaknesses, helping to refine plot points, character arcs, and dialogue. We're immersed in current cinematic trends and audience expectations, so we can advise if a story feels fresh, if it resonates with the contemporary viewer, or if it risks falling into worn-out tropes. Think of it as having a seasoned "audience advocate" in the room, helping to spot potential critical pitfalls long before cameras even roll. Even during the editing process, reviewing a rough cut allows us to provide an objective perspective, flagging pacing issues or moments where the emotional impact might be lost, as the filmmakers themselves are often too close to the material to see these clearly. Our insights can even help shape a film's potential reception at major film festivals, advising on nuances that could enhance its appeal to critics and juries. When it comes to distributors , critics can be key allies in navigating the ever-changing market. We're constantly attending festivals and private screenings, so we often have an early pulse on emerging talent and films that are generating buzz. This allows us to advise distributors on which films might be strong acquisitions, not just from a critical standpoint but also in terms of their commercial potential. We can also help in positioning a film for release, suggesting which audiences it's most likely to appeal to and whether it might be best suited for a wide theatrical run, a niche streaming platform, or a mixed approach. Our understanding of the competitive landscape can also inform the optimal release timing, helping to avoid clashes with similar, highly anticipated titles. Finally, for marketing teams , a critic's perspective is invaluable in crafting effective campaigns. We spend our lives dissecting films and articulating their core themes and selling points. This skill directly translates to helping marketing teams develop compelling taglines, synopses, and messaging that truly capture the essence of a film and attract its target audience. We can also help them avoid potential missteps in their promotional materials that might alienate critics or viewers. Moreover, knowing the media landscape intimately, we can guide them on which critics, publications, or online influencers are most crucial to target for a specific film, and how to best approach them to secure impactful reviews and build positive public discourse. We can even lend a hand in moderating Q&A sessions or participating in promotional events, bringing an authoritative and engaging voice to the film's public presentation. Ultimately, by offering our consulting services, film critics can bridge the gap between artistic creation and audience reception, helping to ensure that great cinematic work finds its deserved audience and critical acclaim. It's about leveraging our passion and knowledge to contribute to the broader success of the film industry.

Film Feature by Chris Olson Emily Brontë's singular, haunting masterpiece, Wuthering Heights , is set to storm UK cinema screens once more, but this time with a fresh, bold vision. Directed, written, and produced by the acclaimed Emerald Fennell, and starring two of Hollywood's most captivating talents, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, this reimagining of the iconic gothic tragedy is slated for release on February 14th, 2026  – a deliberate and darkly romantic choice for Valentine's Day. For decades, Wuthering Heights  has captivated readers and filmmakers alike with its intense portrayal of obsessive love, social prejudice, and vengeful despair set against the wild, bleak beauty of the Yorkshire moors. Many adaptations have graced screens both big and small, each attempting to capture the raw, untamed spirit of Brontë’s only novel. Now, with Fennell at the helm, known for her distinctive blend of sharp social commentary, dark humour, and opulent yet unsettling aesthetics seen in Promising Young Woman  and Saltburn , this new iteration promises a fiercely modern take on a timeless tale. The Story: Love, Loss, and Vengeance on the Moors At its core, Wuthering Heights  is the story of the tumultuous and all-consuming relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Heathcliff, a mysterious orphan, is brought into the wealthy Earnshaw family by Mr. Earnshaw and raised alongside his children, Hindley and Catherine. Despite Hindley’s cruel treatment, a powerful, almost spiritual bond forms between Heathcliff and Catherine, an intense love that transcends societal norms. However, as they grow older, class divisions and social ambitions drive a wedge between them. Catherine, torn between her passionate connection to Heathcliff and the respectable, comfortable life offered by the gentlemanly Edgar Linton, ultimately chooses to marry Edgar. Heathcliff, heartbroken and humiliated, disappears, only to return years later as a wealthy, brooding, and vengeful man. His return sets in motion a destructive chain of events that impacts not only Catherine, Edgar, and their respective families, but also the subsequent generation, forever scarring the inhabitants of Wuthering Heights and nearby Thrushcross Grange. Fennell's adaptation is expected to honour the raw emotional chaos of Brontë's original text, a novel famously ahead of its time in its depiction of such savage and uncompromising passion. However, given Fennell's signature style, audiences can anticipate a heightened sense of atmosphere, perhaps leaning into the gothic horror elements of the novel, and a visual grandeur that contrasts with the moral decay of its characters. Early whispers and leaked set photos have hinted at an erotic undertone and a willingness to explore the story's darker facets with unflinching intensity. The Cast: Iconic Roles, Modern Stars The casting choices for this new Wuthering Heights  have already generated considerable buzz and, in some corners, controversy. Margot Robbie , the acclaimed actress known for her versatile performances in Barbie  and I, Tonya , takes on the pivotal role of Catherine Earnshaw. Robbie's ability to convey both effervescence and deep emotional vulnerability makes her a compelling choice for the wilful, wild, and ultimately conflicted Catherine. Opposite her, as the tormented and vengeful Heathcliff, is Jacob Elordi , who has garnered significant attention for his magnetic performances in Euphoria  and Fennell's own Saltburn . Elordi’s brooding intensity and commanding screen presence seem tailor-made for Heathcliff's complex character, an orphan whose love curdles into a lifelong quest for retribution. The casting of Elordi, a white actor, in the role of Heathcliff – who is often described as "dark-skinned" and whose racial ambiguity is a key element of his social exclusion in the novel – has sparked debate among Brontë purists, highlighting the ongoing conversation around literary adaptations and representation. The supporting cast is equally impressive, promising a strong ensemble to bring the tragic drama to life. Shazad Latif  ( Star Trek: Discovery ) is cast as Edgar Linton, Catherine's gentle and long-suffering husband. Hong Chau  ( The Whale, The Menu ) takes on the crucial role of Nelly Dean, the observant servant and primary narrator of the story. Alison Oliver , fresh off her breakout role in Saltburn , reunites with Fennell and Elordi to play Isabella Linton, Edgar’s naive sister who falls tragically for Heathcliff. Younger versions of the key characters, including Charlotte Mellington as young Catherine and Owen Cooper as young Heathcliff, will also feature, ensuring a comprehensive portrayal of their formative years. A Controversial Yet Captivating Reimagining The decision by Fennell and her production company (Robbie's LuckyChap Entertainment is also producing) to embrace a wide theatrical release through Warner Bros., reportedly turning down an $80 million streaming offer, signals a clear ambition for this film to be a major cinematic event. With Linus Sandgren, the Oscar-winning cinematographer from La La Land  and Saltburn , on board, audiences can expect a visually stunning film that captures the harsh beauty of the moors and the intense emotions of the narrative. While the casting decisions have generated discussion, they also underscore Fennell's intention to offer a fresh perspective on a classic. The creative liberties taken, such as Robbie’s blonde hair for Catherine and Elordi’s potential physical transformations (including a gold tooth spotted during filming), suggest a vision that prioritizes emotional impact and aesthetic boldness over strict historical accuracy. Wuthering Heights  remains a literary touchstone, a raw and unsettling exploration of love, obsession, and the corrosive nature of vengeance. With Emerald Fennell’s distinctive voice, coupled with the star power of Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, this new adaptation is poised to be a powerful and memorable cinematic experience. Mark your calendars for February 2026; the windswept passion of the moors awaits its fiery return to the big screen.
