The international film magazine from the British Film Institute, featuring reviews, interviews with filmmakers, profiles of film stars past and present, mega movie listicles and industry-focused news. It’s the solid movie magazine at the centre of the industry, around which the likes of Little White Lies and others can spin a more tangential approach to the subject.
This December 2026 edition leads with a cover story on ‘cinema’s most famous monster’ Godzilla, returning to screens in ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’. Inside, writer Jim Shepard delves into the legacy of this radioactive aquatic dinosaur, and Steven Sloss interviews director Takashi Yamazaki, plus find all 39 Godzilla films rated by the team. Elsewhere, Maria Delgado speaks with ‘La bola negra’ directors Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo to discuss their highly acclaimed gay melodrama, inspired by an unfinished play from Spanish writer Federico García Lorca; and the ‘Lost and Found’ column of this edition is devoted to Sydney Pollack’s evocative dustbowl drama ‘They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?’, hinged around the bleak phenomenon of dance marathons that emerged during the Great Depression.
