Got Film?
Cinema is all around us. We grow up watching movies, we learn from them, we share them. At Trinity Film Review, we know what makes a movie great and what makes a movie not-so-great. We want to hear you tell us why.

Father Mother Sister Brother
Father Mother Sister Brother (Jim Jarmusch, 2025) is a peculiar and quiet addition to 2025’s catalogue of films to be making its theatrical debut in 2026. Directed by Jim Jarmusch, it’s an anthology of stories not connected by plot but by thematic and visual motifs. In a climate of blockbusters and bold cinema, Father Mother…
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (Tyler Gillett, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, 2026) is a phenomenal sequel to its predecessor, Ready or Not.

Directors Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D’Sa’s Saipan (2025) delivers a retelling of one of, if not the most, well-remembered Irish sporting events of the century. For many generations of Irish sports fans, the mere mention of ‘Saipan’ has an enduring ability to send a chill down one’s spine, forever mourning what could have been.…
The Testament of Ann Lee
Words by Anna Volpe. Released in September 2025, and only coming to Ireland this February, The Testament of Ann Lee (Mona Fastvold, 2025) brings the quality of the musicals of the past year to the top. Despite being overshadowed because of its late release and lack of promotional campaign, the hypnotising soundtrack and entrancing storyline…
