Movie review: Supergirl

As a mum of two superhero obsessed children, I went into Supergirl (2026) hoping for a fun family film with plenty of action and a positive role model. What I got was something a little deeper than expected and, in many ways, more rewarding. What stood out most to me was Kara herself. She’s brave and powerful, but she isn’t perfect. She makes mistakes, struggles with difficult…

Movie review: Toy Story 5

There comes a point where every franchise risks overstaying its welcome. After Toy Story 4, another sequel felt unnecessary. Yet Toy Story 5 manages to find a reason to exist. The film explores what happens when the world changes and the things that once gave us meaning begin to disappear. While previous entries focused on being outgrown by children, this chapter widens the lens. The toys…

The Devil Wears Prada 2: A sequel so bad it should be fired

I sat through The Devil Wears Prada 2 with a glass of something robust and a heart full of hope. Two hours later, the glass was empty and the hope was dead. This film is a disaster. A beautifully dressed, star-studded, expensive looking disaster. And nobody is saying it out loud. Because the first one was fine. It was original enough, fun enough, quotable enough. But this sequel? It has…

Moss & Freud: A naked portrait of power, pregnancy and pretending to be deep

I walked into Moss & Freud expecting glossy fashion nonsense. A supermodel. A grumpy old painter. A million?pound portrait. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. And nothing. And that is the problem. This film is not bad in the way The Devil Wears Prada 2 is bad. It is not boring in the way most sequels are boring. No, Moss & Freud is something far more interesting. It is a film…

Film review: Wild Foxes – raw, real, and surprisingly inspiring

London Mums Magazine had the privilege of attending the preview of Wild Foxes, a French film with English subtitles. I took three young teenagers along with me, and every single one of us connected with the movie – each in our own way. Here’s what we thought.

Film Review: Michael (2026) – The King of Pop comes home

Rating: Five stars. Finally, I managed to see Michael – the long-awaited music biopic about the one and only King of Pop. And let me tell you, London Mums, it was worth every single minute of the wait. Anything Michael Jackson excites me. His music was the soundtrack of my childhood, my teenage years, and honestly, still pops up on every cleaning-the-house playlist I make. But this film?

Film review: Diamanti by Ferzan Özpetek - A glittering ode to sisterhood, stitched with love and resilience

As a film enthusiast and an Italian mother raising a family in London, I am constantly searching for stories that resonate with the complex tapestry of modern womanhood. Between the school run, the pasta boil, and the bedtime stories, there is little time for the cinema. But every so often, a film comes along that doesn’t just deserve a babysitter and a night off – it demands one. Few films…

Here’s what the contributors had to say: Despite not being a fan of horror films, I decided to attend the screening of They Will Kill You.
