The Duttons were always going to run out of quiet. Dutton Ranch, the fifth series to grow out of Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, wastes no time proving it: a wildfire tears through Beth and Rip's hard-won Montana spread before the opening credits, and within two episodes they have gambled everything on a cattle ranch in South Texas. The series began on Paramount+ on 15 May and streamed it...

By John Mulderig A deservedly much-loved animated series gets a touching extension with the arrival of Toy Story 5 (Disney).

By John Mulderig For British meteorologist James Stagg (Andrew Scott), the central figure in the fact-based World War II drama Pressure (Focus), the "longest day" was probably not the eventual date of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Instead, it was likely the day he had to advise that the greatest amphibious landing of troops in history be postponed. Stagg's gloomy prediction for the or...

By John Mulderig Nate Bargatze, best known for his stand-up work, co-wrote and stars in the domestic comedy The Breadwinner (Sony).

By John Mulderig It's one battle after another for the title characters in the latest instalment of the Star Wars saga, The Mandalorian and Grogu (Disney).

By John Mulderig The Devil Wears Prada 2 (20th Century), director David Frankel's second send-up of the fashion world, reunites one of the more memorable casts of recent decades. The predictable result is a glamorous good time for moviegoers. Occasional salty dialogue and an incidental yet potentially misleading theological notion, however, suggest this polished diversion is safest for g...

Eric Besnard’s Jean Valjean is a quiet, intimate reimagining that trades the grand scale of Les Misérables for something far more personal and reflective. Set against a beautifully captured countryside, the film uses its natural landscapes not for spectacle, but as a backdrop to a deeply human story about judgment, faith, and the possibility of change. It sits comfortably alongside Besna...
