Animol review – gritty young offenders drama challenges conventional machismo

-
Institutional menace and an idealistic take on redemption sit side-by-side in Top Boy actor Ashley Walters’ empathic and occasionally over-earnest film The lawless brutality of a young offender institution is the setting for this British movie written by Marching Powder ’s Nick Love and directed by Ashley Walters. It’s a place where terrified newbies realise they can survive only by abandoning their innocence and decency, and submitting to the gang authority of a psycho top G, naturally involving a horrible loyalty test. This is a place where drugs arrive by drone, where facially tattooed men meet each other’s gaze with a cool opaque challenge in the canteen, and where the cues and balls on the recreation area’s pool table have only one purpose: to give someone a three-month stay in the hospital wing while underpaid guards in lanyards and ill-fitting v-neck jumpers look the other way.

Varun Dhawan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Citadel: Honey Bunny and Matilda De Angelis’ Citadel: Diana, not renewed for season 2

-

Amazon has scrapped the spin-offs Citadel: Honey Bunny and Citadel: Diana following their first seasons. Meanwhile, the main Citadel series, featuring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, is set for a 2026 release and now has an official synopsis.

Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, announced that the Indian and Italian narratives from Honey Bunny

“Although these popular and well-received international chapters won’t move forward as standalone series, Season 2 of Citadel will be our most thrilling installment yet,” said Sanders. He also shared that the upcoming season will further explore the emotional arcs of Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), Mason (Richard Madden), and Orlick (Stanley Tucci).

Sanders also promised high-stakes storytelling, a bold cinematic experience, and exciting new cast members. “We can’t wait to reveal what’s coming next when Citadel Season 2 premieres worldwide in the second quarter of 2026,” he added.

The cancellation of Citadel's international spin-offs didn’t come as a shock, especially after the unexpected departure of Amazon MGM head Jennifer Salke, who had championed the global spy thriller as her most ambitious project with the company.

The series centers on the secretive spy agency Citadel. Following its downfall, its agents’ memories are erased. The official synopsis poses a gripping question: “Now the powerful syndicate, Manticore, is rising in the void. Can the Citadel agents recollect their past and summon the strength to fight back?”

The second season of the main Citadel series is currently in post-production, with Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Richard Madden, and Stanley Tucci returning to their roles. The cast also includes Leo Woodall, Ashleigh Cummings, Paul Bazely, Roland Møller, Moira Kelly, and more.

Season one of Citadel, along with its international spin-offs Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny, is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
