Reupping here my review of Justin Kurzel’s Narrow Road To The Deep North: theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. Packed with both complicated love affairs and terribly poignant second world war scenes, it adds up to fervent television indeed

My review of the re-release of Amadeus (1984) (dir. Milos Forman) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. Abraham’s gorgeous villainy as the bland court composer eclipsed by Tom Hulce’s nitrogen-voiced genius Mozart is a treat

My review of What Does That Nature Say To You? (dir. Hong Sang-soo) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. Hong Sang-soo makes a genuinely intriguing addition to his booze- and conversation-fuelled oeuvre

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. In a retro-futurist version of early 1960s New York, Mr Fantastic and Sue Storm are living together as a dysfunctional family with the Human Torch and the Thing – with a baby on the way

My review of Gazer (dir. Ryan J. Sloan) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. A fascinatingly uneasy debut from Ryan J Sloan has hints of Lynch and Cronenberg with star and co-writer Ariella Mastroianni radiating suppressed anguish and rage

The Times's reassignment of four critics is one thing, but its downgrading of the so-called traditional review is altogether another: newyorker.com/culture/the-le…

My review of Barry Lyndon (1975) (dir. Stanley Kubrick) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2016/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. Stanley Kubrick’s hypnotic masterpiece looks just as good 40 years on, as it follows the fluctuating fortunes of Ryan O’Neal’s humble Irish hero

My review of The Ballad Of Suzanne Césaire (dir. Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. Brief film looks at the intense flowering of essays by the Caribbean feminist and anti-imperialist who saw surrealism as a revolutionary mode

My review of Four Letters Of Love (dir. Polly Steele) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

My review of Friendship (dir. Andrew DeYoung) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. Robinson is magnificently cringeworthy as a man in thrall to his cool neighbour Rudd in Andrew DeYoung’s film, as divisive as a Vimto-Marmite cocktail

My review of Smurfs (dir. Chris Miller) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. James Corden and John Goodman join the singer voicing the Belgian creatures in this uninspired, unengaging kids’ animation

My review of the re-release of Human Traffic (1999) (dir. Justin Kerrigan) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/…

PeterBradshaw1's tweet card. This loved-up ensemble piece is cheerfully apolitical, pro-drugs and pro-hedonism – and features a very funny film debut from Danny Dyer
