Wicker

Wicker

2026 · TimesNowNews

Wicker is possibly one of the year's most unexpected cinematic delights. It is a wickedly funny, occasionally unsettling exploration of loneliness, marriage, desire and the expectations people place on one another, anchored by Olivia Colman's wonderfully layered performance and Alexander Skarsgård's surprisingly endearing romantic fantasy.

Runner

Runner

2026 · TimesNowNews

The Runner's sluggish script means that for the largest part our wonder woman cannot outpace the film's mediocrity. Even though The Runner moves at a fast pace and looks slick, it rarely generates the kind of tension that could make its well-worn story genuinely gripping.

Heer Sara

2026 · TimesNowNews · Jun 2026

A slice-of-life bildungsroman that has moments of genuine charm and authenticity, but the narrative beats unevenly, failing to maintain consistent momentum throughout its runtime.
