Plainclothes (out Mar 5) is a strong drama set in the 1990s about undercover police officers who would pretend to be gay to arrest those conducting "indecent" acts. Shines the spotlight on an interesting piece of history with a great central performance from Tom Blyth. Grade: B+.

The Moment (out Mar 5) is a Curb Your Enthusiasm-style spoof about the singer Charli XCX, playing a warped version of herself, facing pressure by her financiers to record a concert movie. The novelty wears out in the final act but it's an entertaining look at the chaos within the music industry. Grade: B.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (out Feb 26) is a fun, nutty comedy about two wannabe musicians who accidentally time travel from 2025 to 2008 and see it as a chance to change their lives for the better. Lots of great gags. Cool visual effects. Strong performances! Grade: A-.

Scream 7 (out Feb 26) has a few decent jump-scares and gruesome murders. A shame the narrative and characters aren't more interesting. Grade: C+.

Solo Mio (out Feb 26) is a little contrived but it's still a sweet, big-hearted movie about an American man who travels to Italy to get married but his fiancée leaves him at the altar. It's nice to see star Kevin James in a role that is more than just silly comedy. There's nuance to the character and he's really likeable. Grade: B+.

The Testament of Ann Lee (out Feb 26) is not to be missed. The film is centred on Ann Lee, the woman who founded the Shakers movement, but it’s more than a simple history lesson. Instead of explaining everything through narration and dialogue, it provides a hypnotic, rhythmic experience where music, song and dance is used to capture the spirit of these characters and pull you into its world. Grade: A.

Sirāt (out Feb 26) is a provides an experience with a capital E. You won't see many movies like it. Centred on a father looking for his lost daughter in a Moroccan desert, it's wildly unpredictable. The production values are brilliant - from the music, sound and cinematography, through the performances of the largely non-professional actors. Grade: A.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (out Feb 19) is a simple, nicely assembled documentary about the famed singer. I don't think it's telling us anything new but, using on-stage and behind-the-scenes footage, it's a worthy homage which celebrates his talent and popularity. Grade: B+.

Iron Lung (out Jan 29) is a cool concept – a sci-fi thriller set entirely in a small underwater submersible with one inhabitant – a man trying to find something on an alien planet. It’s a cool idea with excellent production values but there’s not enough material to justify a 2+ hour running time. Grade: B.

Fackham Hall (out Feb 19) is a below-average comedy which spoofs the likes of Gosford Park and Downton Abbey. It's largely toilet humour and dad jokes for the 97-minute running time. Needed more wit and ideas! Grade: C.
