Netflix film reviews by movie critics at UK Film Review. Reviewing Netflix original films and other movies found on the streaming service. Netflix Film Reviews Aside from the plethora of indie movies and short films, we also provide Netflix film reviews. One of the most influential companies to impact the movie industry in the UK, not only have they transformed the way in which we watch movies and tv series, they have also produced some incredibly impressive films over the past few years...and continue to do so. Other streaming services have attempted to keep up the pace with Netflix and few have been able to achieve the same results. Amazon Prime is arguably the nearest competitor but the general consensus amongst movie watchers is that Prime is a bit of a let down . Lots of niche providers have also popped up as well as mainstream providers attempting to get a slice of the market, but it is Netflix that dominates from a consumption and production point of view. Which is why our talented army of critics will be attempting to cover the output of movies and relaying their verdicts here on the Netflix film reviews page. Mostly we will review Netflix original films but may also turn our attention to other films that appear there. Not to mention putting together some brilliant feature articles that will sort the wheat from the chaff. All themes will be considered, such as: 5 Movies to dance in your pants to 13 Reasons why Adam Sandler films aren't that bad 8 Films to watch on your deathbed And so on. Be sure to tweet us if you think there is a particular collection of movies you would group together on Netflix @ukfreview. We would love to hear what you think about the impact streaming services is having on the film industry (good or bad). Apart from that simply enjoy these Netflix film reviews, ensure that you load up on snacks that are fun and healthy, and contact your "chill" partner well in advance to ensure you can compare diaries...there is little else worse in this world than having to watch a fantastic movie on your own.

Chris Olson is a movie critic and Founder of UK Film Review. Learn more about his career in film journalism and being Editor-in-Chief. Chris Olson Founder / Editor-in-Chief Having spent a lot of time watching films during my time at the University of Plymouth, I decided to become a film critic - a job that offers no pay, no luxury, and no guarantee of meeting famous people...At least it doesn't come with a uniform. You can see my Plymouth University Alumni Page here . I started writing for a London cultural magazine about events going on in the city. Soon after I was made the Editor of the film section. Eventually, the mag went bust and I decided to use my connections and start UK Film Review. The result being what you see here - a platform to help filmmakers, actors, writers and indeed film critics achieve cyber glory. My reviewing style is probably more optimistic than most, especially as I try to find the good in what everyone does...except Michael Bay. My favourite films are, in no particular order, About Time (2013), Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Fight Club (1999), 12 Angry Men (1957), Adam Sandler's early movies ("Hey Waterboy, durrr") and anything directed by Christopher Nolan. Outside of film reviewing I also release music as a recording artist and provide UK sync music for film & TV. Follow me on Twitter and LinkedIn using the icons below and drop me a line if you are interested in becoming a film critic or having your film reviewed.

Do not submit your film if you cannot take firm criticism. We will not remove reviews simply because you do not like what we have said. Due to the volume of submissions we receive, reviews can take a long while! We are talking months not weeks. Please do not badger us to "hurry up", it simply does not work that way. We move as fast as we can but also give the films that are submitted our complete attention - this is not a production line. We now provide Queue Jump option for Film Reviews - with a 1 Week Turnaround time or other timeframes. This allows filmmakers to get their movies reviewed asap but does not affect the review at all. We reserve the right to promote our review on social media as we choose, so even if your selection does not include social media promotion. Please only submit information including artwork and trailers you are happy for us to use within our reviews. How to Submit Your Film Use the form below - it will take all the details of your film and any other promotion you may desire. PLEASE NOTE: all reviews are FREE. If you choose to pay to skip the queue, add your trailer or have us video the review that's cool but we are not charging you for the review, just so we can prioritise you and deliver what you want additionally. All films submitted must include free viewing links (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo etc). We will not pay to watch/review your film. BRAND NEW UK Film Review are now offering Video Reviews!

The queue jump options available for film reviews are simply so that you get your review back within a timeframe that suits your needs. Please note this does not mean the review will automatically be positive. We will still only give an honest film review, just quicker. No refunds. No returns.

Sponsors for film reviews website, helping to support filmmakers, filmmaking and indie cinema. Be a hero and get involved. Partners, Fans & Sponsors "UK Film Review deserve a big thank-you! They are a priceless gem to independent filmmakers who are fighting to survive in a world where Hollywood hogs the stage. They provide vital exposure and an all-important platform. Please keep up the good work so we can too!" - Angela Godfrey (Producer at Keen City) "UK Film Review provides my films the opportunity to be presented to a broad online community of film lovers and is an invaluable resource for independent filmmakers. Their reviews reflect both an expert knowledge and passion for the medium of film." - Alan King (Director and Filmmaker) " Indie filmmaking is a romantic illusion. However, once you've funded the project and dragged it through post production, it's sometimes (always) difficult to get eyes on your product. You may love the trailer you've cut- it's edgy, ambiguous and portrays your film as honestly as possible, but who's going to click the link? What Chris and the team have built with UK Film Review is a platform for indie films which is both supportive and fair. Communication is top notch and you get the impression they actually care. Reviews are personal and well written, boasting real insight and love for the medium. Through continued hard work the site has a strong fanbase, meaning there is a solid audience who might click your link. I've now dealt with UK Film Review on two feature films and I'm constantly impressed with their professionalism and generosity. When I Google my films, UK Film Review is always towards the top of the listings. They definitely have an influence and I look forward to watching that influence grow... Now click my link (please)!" - David Campion (Director and Filmmaker) Our Film Festival partners...
