  • Music Video Reviews | UK Film Review

    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.

  • Prince (2026) London Film Festival Review

    Directed by: Federico Borgia Written by: Federico Borgia Starring: Roberto Suárez, Maitina De Marco, Esteban Bigliardi Film Review by: William Curzon ★★★ Prince follows the titular Afghan hound, whose owner is devoted to him. As Jaime (Roberto Suárez), a devoted butler, settles in with the titular dog, greedy relatives scheme to disrupt their peaceful arrangement in a ruthless custody battle. Prince is a feature-length film that explores themes of wealth, greed, and love in a darkly comedic take on domestic life. Prince opens with a unique approach, relying heavily on visual storytelling to show the audience the central characters’ opulence. It's a commendable choice, as it explores Jaime and Prince in their daily routine without overexplaining the story’s ideas and themes. It's a double-edged sword as the characters bathe in their wealth, yet their struggles with depression and self-doubt make it hard not to feel sorry for them despite their flaws. Jaime is a compelling central character, conveying his devotion to Prince profoundly, and it is engaging to watch as he deals with the supporting characters attempting to disrupt their relationship. While it takes a while to find its footing, the narrative becomes far more compelling as the central conflict begins to brew. Writer/director Federico Borgia’s script is incredibly provocative in the way it explores themes of fortune, depression and domestic life. The film balances its satirical edge with the narrative’s dramatic elements profoundly. While it may suffer from a meandering pace that detracts from the experience, the screenplay’s deep dive into Jaime’s struggle with grief makes the prolonged runtime rewarding. Despite feeling like a chore to sit through at times, the film’s final stretch ties all the narrative threads together, leading to an uncomfortable and eerie conclusion that may linger in viewers’ minds after the credits roll. Many of the film's technical aspects are incredibly impressive. Ismael Varela serves as the film's composer and delivers a melancholic score that accompanies certain scenes superbly. That said, it can become repetitive due to recurring motifs. Ramiro Gonzalez Pampillon serves as the film’s cinematographer and primarily frames each scene with wide shots to capture the wealth and splendour of the bungalow Prince lives in. The camera also shifts to tracking during an incredibly tense sequence as it follows Jaime in anguish, with the score swelling in the background. This scene in particular is a standout in the film as it is a wonderfully shot, tightly edited, and well-acted piece of filmmaking. Prince film trailer Roberto Suárez’s portrayal of Jaime is incredibly engaging throughout. He perfectly captures the character’s affluence and self-pity while also conveying the emotional nuance in the film’s final third. His chemistry with Maitina De Marco as Isabel in her brief screen time is also remarkable. Roberto Suárez’s performance shines in the film's conclusion, as his expressive body language beautifully conveys the characters' fall from grace. The supporting players are also memorable in their portrayals of despicableness as their characters work their way into Prince and Jaime’s peaceful life. Prince is a compelling depiction of prosperity, greed, and domestic life. While the film may suffer from pacing issues, its eerie conclusion makes it ultimately rewarding. Anchored by a remarkable central performance from Roberto Suárez and unique camerawork, Prince is a memorable piece of indie filmmaking.

  • Extra Geography (2026) Film Review

    ★★★★ Directed by: Molly Manners Written by: Rose Tremain, Miriam Battye Starring: Marni Duggan, Galaxie Clear Film Review by: Chris Olson Poignant, heartfelt, and low-key, Extra Geography is the new coming-of-age comedy drama directed by Molly Manners. Based on the Rose Tremain short story, we follow Flic (Marni Duggan) and Minna (Galaxie Clear) as they navigate their tumultuous time as boarding school students on the precipice of adulthood. Initially traversing the school like they own the place, the pair set themselves the task of “falling in love” with the first person they lay eyes on (their geography teacher), Flic and Minna then begin to experience the anxiety-provoking yet inevitable growing pains that can only come from this period of life. The chemistry between the two leads feels like a real friendship, and this film lives and dies on that connection. Flic and Minna have a banter reminiscent of that of Amy and Molly in Olivia Wilde’s 2019 film of the same genre, Booksmart (which is also great!). Their penchant for dramatic bleakness gets peppered with moments of ebullient joy that can only come from people of this age, and it gets beautifully rendered on screen. “If you were happy it would probably mean you were thick”. Laden with dry wit, Extra Geography's script immerses the audience in an authentic regaling of British teenage years, sans parents, where every step taken feels crucial. Whether it’s chasing boys or wearing makeup, it’s life or death, and that atmosphere of intensity for the characters plays out amongst the scenic beauty of the school and grounds. Extra Geography Official Trailer It’s dipping into important topics such as orientation and gender roles but not in a way that smacks you over the head with the works of Jane Austen. Instead, the audience is treated maturely and asked to pay attention to the subtle manipulations we all experienced during puberty without even knowing it. The jaunty classical soundtrack creates a nice synergy with the classic literature being referenced - it’s a perfect film for the bookish, especially with the story being divided up into chapters, catering for the Netflix crowds who gorged on the likes of Sex Education and Heartstopper. It slides easily into the same league as coming-of-age movies like the aforementioned Booksmart, or the excellent 2017 Lady Bird. Just be ready to see a lot of tampons. Extra Georgaphy is in UK cinemas on October 2nd, 2026.

  • Child (2026) Film Review

    Directed by: Cyrus Neshvad Written by: Guillaume Levil, Cyrus Neshvad Starring: Malik Zidi, Brigitte Urhausen, Lydia Indjova Film Review by: Holly Baker ★★★★ Child (2026), directed by Cyrus Neshvad, is a disturbing thriller with striking imagery, set in rural Luxembourg. The film follows a couple, Anne and Gregg whose child is seriously ill, and pictures their journey into morally compromising methods to help their dying son. Viewers may find this couple of parents difficult to root for, as seeing the number of people they are willing to hurt along the way for the life of their son is brutal. However, those who watch, particularly can understand how strongly they care about their son, and can comprehend the horrors of what it would be like to lose a child. The film is relentless from the opening shot. We see washed-out, hopeless imagery from the outset as cinematographers do not shy away from the gloomy realities of extreme trauma and child death. Child could certainly qualify as a horror film, with its immense darkness and violence, as the couple gradually lose themselves in the dark criminal underworld. Similar to Cyrus Neshvad’s previous directorial work, which is made up of several critically acclaimed shorts, such as I Will Be Alright (2026) and The Red Suitcase (2022), Child is considerably artful in its presentation of grim subjects. The film uses largely outdoor settings allowing the natural world to characterise the screen. As well as this, there is an interesting colour contrast in the grading, particularly in the hospital segments, with their blue-grey misery evoking the atmosphere of a horror film. Child Official Film Trailer Despite the thrillingly horrific events of the film, the characters consistently feel authentic in their despair, and they pose intriguing ideas about the world around us. In this way, they feel almost Shakespearean in the way that their doom is shaped by society, but also by their own fatal errors. Gregg, for instance, is somewhat responsible for their son's tragedy, and therefore refuses to allow him to die as this guilt would kill him. Anne is, from first impressions, an empathetic, good-willed individual; however, she throws all this away at the chance to save her son. By abandoning basic moral principles, and even betraying one of their own, a fellow mother, the couple descend into a world of chaos where laws no longer apply. Viewers may find their minds drawn to “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, a classic Gothic poem wherein a moral boundary being broken brings a curse to a mariner's journey, tormenting him for the rest of his life. Similarly, Anna and Gregg will never escape the guilt of their actions, as Child highlights the way that small decisions lead to a lifetime of owed penance. The minimalistic. costuming and make-up in Child is incredibly effective in highlighting the shock factor of crucial moments. There is a focus on facial expression, particularly in the eyes of Anna, as viewers witness her desensitisation to the people she fails to help along the way. Both characters wear fairly nondescript outfits, underlining the idea that potentially any individual may be capable of committing immoral acts when placed in a position of absolute peril. Overall Child is a tough but worthwhile watch for viewers who are comfortable with graphic depictions of child kidnapping and organ harvesting. Though it is desperately dark in its most upsetting moments, there is an immense beauty in the careful cinematography, brilliant performances, and touching tragedy. Child will be in UK Cinemas from 2nd October
