★★★★☆
Birdman is Alejandro G. Iñárritu's Best Picture-winning backstage comedy, with Michael Keaton as a faded superhero star staking everything on a Broadway play.
Yes, with reservations. It is a dazzling, darkly funny showbiz satire with a career-best Michael Keaton, though its restless technique and self-regard can be exhausting.
★★★★☆
Black Box Diaries is Shiori Ito's Oscar-nominated documentary about investigating her own sexual assault in Japan, a raw and urgent act of self-exposure.
Yes. It is a gripping, courageous documentary about pursuing justice against powerful institutions, for viewers ready for distressing subject matter.
★★★★☆
Black Mirror is Charlie Brooker's anthology of near-future technology nightmares, uneven across seven seasons but at its best the sharpest satire on television.
Yes, with reservations. Its best episodes are essential viewing for anyone curious about technology and society, but quality varies, so pick episodes rather than binge in order.
★★★★½
Black Orpheus is Marcel Camus's Palme d'Or-winning retelling of the Orpheus myth at Rio's Carnival, a dazzling romance whose bossa nova score still enchants.
Yes. It is a gorgeous, music-drenched romance and a landmark of world cinema, best for viewers who can enjoy its magic while noticing its outsider's view of Rio.
★★★½☆
Blade II hands Wesley Snipes's vampire hunter to Guillermo del Toro, whose grotesque creature design turns a comic-book sequel into a gory, stylish monster movie.
Mostly yes. It is a stylish, gory creature feature and a high point for the Blade films, for horror-action fans who can live with thin characters and dated digital effects.
★★★★½
Blue Is the Warmest Color is Abdellatif Kechiche's Palme d'Or-winning three-hour romance, with Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux in astonishing form.
Yes. It is an overwhelming, brilliantly acted portrait of first love for adult viewers with three hours to spare, though its long explicit scenes remain divisive.
★★★★☆
Bodyguard is Jed Mercurio's six-part BBC thriller about a troubled veteran guarding a hawkish Home Secretary, relentlessly tense even when its plotting strains belief.
Yes, with reservations. It is a gripping, bingeable political thriller for fans of British suspense, as long as you can forgive some far-fetched turns late on.
★★★★½
BoJack Horseman is Netflix's animated comedy about a washed-up sitcom star who happens to be a horse, and it grew into one of TV's sharpest studies of depression.
Yes. It is essential for adults who like dark comedy and character drama, provided they stick with a slow first half-season and can handle very bleak material.
★★★★☆
Bol is Shoaib Mansoor's fearless Pakistani family drama about a tyrannical father, his daughters and an intersex child, a passionate if overlong plea to be heard.
Yes, with reservations. It is a brave, powerfully acted social drama that tackles taboos head-on, for viewers who can accept its melodrama, speeches and long running time.
★★★★☆
Boys Over Flowers is the 2009 Korean campus romance that made Lee Min-ho a star, loud and gloriously melodramatic, though its bullying-to-love story has aged badly.
Yes, with reservations. It is essential K-drama history and addictive fun for romance fans, but its treatment of bullying and its sheer length will test modern viewers.
★★★☆☆
Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva is Ayan Mukerji's Hindi fantasy epic, with Ranbir Kapoor as a young man who can command fire. Dazzling effects, clumsy romance, heavy lore.
It depends. Fans of big-screen spectacle will enjoy the fire-powered set pieces, songs and star turns; anyone wanting a coherent story or sharp dialogue will be frustrated.
★★★½☆
Breakfast on Pluto is Neil Jordan's picaresque 1970s tale of Kitten, an Irish trans woman adrift in London, lifted by Cillian Murphy's fearless lead turn.
Mostly yes. Cillian Murphy's performance is reason enough to watch, though the episodic story wanders; best for fans of bittersweet, left-field Irish comedy-drama.
★★★★☆
Bridgerton is Netflix's glossy Regency romance, one sibling's courtship per season; four seasons in, the formula still charms even where the gossip machinery creaks.
Yes, with reservations. It is sumptuous, swoony escapism for romance fans and period-drama lovers, though the seasons vary and the formula shows its age.
★★★★☆
Broadchurch is a British crime drama about a boy's murder in a Dorset seaside town, anchored by David Tennant and Olivia Colman and strongest in its grief.
Yes. The first season is superb small-town crime drama; the later two are good rather than great. Ideal for fans of patient British mysteries.
★★★★☆
Broker is Hirokazu Kore-eda's Korean road movie about two men selling an abandoned baby, a tender found-family drama that sometimes smooths its crime into fable.
Yes, with reservations. It is gentle, beautifully acted Kore-eda for patient drama fans, even if it lacks the sting of Shoplifters and ties its threads too neatly.
★★★½☆
Brother's Keeper is Ferit Karahan's tense Turkish drama about a sick boy trapped in a snowbound Kurdish boarding school, a lean allegory of neglect and blame.
Mostly yes. It is a gripping, compact 85-minute drama for viewers who like austere festival cinema, though its allegory is blunter than its best moments.
★★★½☆
Bunohan is Dain Said's moody Malay-language crime fable about three brothers drawn back to their Kelantan village, strong on atmosphere if sometimes opaque.
Mostly yes. It is a striking, atmospheric Malaysian crime drama for viewers who like slow-burning genre films, though its storytelling can be hard to follow.
★★★★½
Burning is Lee Chang-dong's hypnotic Murakami adaptation, a Korean mystery about a young man, an old friend and a rich stranger that simmers with class resentment.
Yes. It is one of the great mysteries of recent cinema for patient viewers who enjoy ambiguity; anyone wanting neat answers or a fast thriller should look elsewhere.
★★★★☆
Business Proposal is a 12-episode Korean office romcom about a fake blind date gone wrong, and it wins by embracing every cliché with total confidence.
Yes, if you want pure comfort. It is a fast, funny, knowingly silly K-drama romcom, best for viewers who enjoy tropes rather than those who want depth.
★★★★½
Call Me by Your Name is Luca Guadagnino's sun-soaked 1980s romance about a teenager's first love, lifted by Timothée Chalamet's breakthrough performance.
Yes. It is one of the most tender and sensual romances of its decade, best for patient viewers who like slow, atmospheric love stories rather than plot-driven drama.
★★★½☆
Can This Love Be Translated? is the Hong sisters' globe-trotting Netflix romcom about an interpreter and a star, lovely when its leads share a frame, baggy elsewhere.
Mostly yes. Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung make it a beautiful comfort watch for romcom fans, provided you can forgive a sluggish middle and too many subplots.
★★★½☆
Cape Fear (2026) turns the classic revenge thriller into a 10-episode Apple TV+ series; Javier Bardem's Max Cady is unforgettable, even when the story overreaches.
Mostly yes. Javier Bardem makes this pulpy, violent remake worth starting, but viewers need patience for ten episodes that stretch a lean story thin.
★★★★½
Casablanca is Michael Curtiz's Second World War romance about a cynical club owner and the lover who walks back into his life, and it still plays beautifully.
Yes. It remains one of the most entertaining and quotable Hollywood films ever made, ideal for first-timers to classic cinema as well as anyone overdue a rewatch.
★★★★½
Case No. 9 is a bold Pakistani legal drama in which Saba Qamar's Sehar takes on her powerful boss, and it tackles workplace abuse and the courts with rare courage.
Yes. It is one of the most important Pakistani dramas in years, essential for viewers who want Urdu television that tackles power and justice head-on.
